ADD.El-kRlM PREPARES
TAKE THE OFFENSIVE
Of ReprisAls.
Copyright, 1926, by The New York
Times Company, Special Gable
to The New York Times.)

Marrakesh, Morocco, March 28.--
1t is clear that the Moroccan cam
paign is not over and that Abd-el-
Krim intends to take the offensive
as soon as the weather and the Fast
of Ramadan permit. Already the
Riffians are active on various parts
of the front and once again are dis
playing great ability in attacking be-
hind thel ines. Even the important
base camp of Ain Aloha on the
Ourgha has not been free from de-
sultory attacks. Certain tribes which,
during last month were submitting,
are again wavering under the menace
of enemy reprisals.
The optimism expressed, especially
i'm Paris and Madrid, does not find an
enthusiastic echo in this country. No
doubt Abd-el Krim has not the
means he formerly had of carrying
on the war and there is great
scarcity of food among the tribes
threatening famine, but his adherents
despite hardships and suffering APP
pear again disposed to sacrifice them
selves for their leader and his cause.
Certain French newspapers in
Morocco continue to publish articles
stating that the Riff country is kept
going by British moral and material
support and that the ultimate aim is
Riffian republic under British pro.
lection. BY doing SO they merely
encourage future hopes among tn.
Rifians and Abd-el Krim himself
uses these French newspaper articles
as propaganda among the tribesmen
He has never ceased to promise his
adherents ultimate British interven'
ton in his favor, and this confirma.
ton of his statements in the French
press in Morocco plays strongly into
his hands. u
