WAR ON FRENCH SEEN IN PARIS Reveals Hand of Continental Supporters in Eyes of Andre Tardieu. BY ANDRE TARDIEU, It is certain that with Adb-el-Krim, the Riffmen’s chief, are some of those adventurers which all armies produce, whose presence is mot ex- plained by political motives. But it is equally notorious that North Africa for months has been the principal aim to gen- | of the soviets.

The desire to PARIS, May 21.—Military opera- rate, encircled its outposts and t m. before many days the bourgeois German Training Suspected. The Soviets have an army drilled in the German way by Prussian officers. To see the Riffians use artillery, ma- chine guns, trenches and barbed wire, it is difficult not to suppose that the intrenched, ~ developing and seen on the D. C., THURSDAY, Red army lent Abd-el-Krim some of its qermnn instructors. Moreover, Germany has not for- gotten Morocco any: more than she has forgotten Alsace or Upper Silesia. It was Germany that France found in her way when, in 1904, she tried by pacific negotiations to have recog- nized her special interests in this part of Africa. ‘What Admiral against the United States after the occupation of the Philippines was largely developed against France by ‘Wilhelm II's voyage to Tangier, the Algeciras conference, the Casablanca incident and Agadir. 1f, after the last crisis, from which it was thought in 1911 that war would ensue, Germany recognized the French protectorate, she ceased only in 1914 to lay snares on the laborious road of the French in Morocco. So that in German minds the loss of the German squadron of Diederich _only outlined Morocco occurred, not in 1911, but in | 1918. Therefore, it is ea believe that the sudden Kurope: on of Riffian forces is due to aid as well as to the discreet collaboration of German agents. The proof, per- haps, will be provided sooner than is| imagined. Despite the important effort which defense of the protectorate demands from France, there is no doubt about the results. France accomplished the work of peace and civilization to which numbers of eminent visitors paid tribute. She only asks to be per- mitted to continue this work, and the natives ask the same. Present events must remind France, however, that the development of this honorable work cannot go on without hindrance or_ difficulties. In the troubled world in which we live there is no security anywhere. WAR GRAVES DECORATED. Memorial Day Ob- served at Fredericksburg, Va. Spectal Dispatch to The Star.
