Copyright, 1926, by The New York


London, Mar. 16.-A letter couched
in quaint Oriental language, written
by Abd-el-Krim, the Riff chieftain,
who is waging war against the French
and Spaniards in Morocco, has been
received by the correspondent of The
London Times at Tangier and trans
mitted by him to his newspaper.
In translating the letter he has been
wise enough, while putting it into cor
rect English, to keep the picturesque
sayor of the original, which is wholly
different from the usual conventional
style adopted by potentates when writ
ing missives for publication in the
press.
The letter is dated Jan. 81, but did
not reach the London Times corresnon
dent at Tangier until few days ago,
ewing to difficulties explained to him
by Abd-el-Krim's messenger when the
latter finally succeeded in placing it in
the Englishman's hands after stealing
through the Spanish lines outside Tan
Sler.
TeGt of Letter
The letter runs as follows:
-'To the Editor Of The Times:

 The situation, according to some of the lawyers retained by the defend- ants was peculiar. The beer was all made under government permit and labeled as provided by law and the al eoholic content set forth as one half of one per cent. During January a detective appeared at the stores of the accused and drank some of the near beer and took away bottles which he had tested and claimed tested over the legal limit. The tests showed,

 Following this disclosure search warrants were sworn out and the places of the defendants were seareh- ed by state policemen and more of the near beer taken. This beer was also tested but this time was found to be less than one half of one per cent alcoholic content. The fact that one lot of the near beer. taken by the detective tested over the legal amount, while second lot, tested less than s half of one per cent alcohol, caused considerable speculation among the defendants and their attorneys.
 The little court room was crowded to the doors by curious ones who ex~ peeted Co see some legal fireworks as Attorneys Torrey, Miron and Morses of Putnam had been engaged by the several defendants to look after their interests. But the fireworks were damper than the near beer for thero was no trial and no reason for the nolle was stated. either by the grand juror or the judge.
