Spectal Correspondent of The Star and North American Newspaver Alliance, with the R Armics. ADJIR, September 24 (by courier to Tangier, October 22).—In the course of my eight hours’ interview with Abd- elKrim, the Riff chieftain gave me a detafled statement of the terms on which he is willing to make peace. But at his suggestion these are to be com- municated to the French before. being published. I am, therefore, taking steps to _do this. (The North American Newspaper Alliance recently requested the French Foreign Office to rarange for Mr. Sheean to come out of the RIff into French lines. He is due soon to before the French lines at Such an arrangement would probably have to be approved by the French, military command in Morocco.) There is no doubt of the sincerity of Abd-el-Krim's desire for peace. On the other hand, he is not being forced into this attitude by any pressure of military necessity. Declared Ready for Peace. “We have every reason to be sat- isfied with our military campaign thus far,” he said to me, “and we are pre- pared to continue Indefinitely. If France wants peace, we are ready for peace. But if France wants war, we are ready to fight on forever.” There were many interruptions in the course of my efght-hour talk with the Riff leader. but nevertheless he had time to ask scores of questions on French and Spanish internal poli- tics, and to discuss many related questions, as well as the paramount problem of war or peace here. I re- ceived the distinct impression that he counts upon French and Spanish public opinfon to reinforce his plea for peace, at least to a certain extent. He believes that the two governments will be obliged to make peace before long unless they can win a decisive victory. After our long discussion of the ex- act terms on which he would be wil- ling to sign a treaty of peace with France and Spain—which I cannot divulge at the present writing—the Riff chieftain devoted a considerable view to 2 declaration of the French responsibility for the present war nd to assertion of his insistent claim the Franco-Spanish offensive has thus far been a failure so far as r d.

French planned this war against the RIff mgre than a year ago,” he said. “Throdghout the vear preceding thLoe outbreak of hostilities French agents were busy among the border tribes, at- tempting to enlist thelr services in war against us. The French military chiefs in Morocco feared that the ex ample of our successtul struggle against Spain would lead to imitators among the native tribes in French Morocoo, endeavoring to do the same thing there. “French officers in the advanced outposts even wrote letters to the chiefs of the Gueznaya tribe, asking them to withdraw their allegiance to the RIff government, stating that the Rift government was not a valid or- ganization, that it would never be rec ognized, and that it was certain to b overthrown by France eventually. These letters were turned over to me, and I have them now in my Dosses- sion here at headquarters.

France attacked us, and all statements to the contrary are false. “The French attacked us at the end of April this vear, driving our garrt sons out of several positions in the | Beni Zeroual country, where we had | been established for a long time with- | in what is technically called Irench Morocco, although the French had, never actually occupied it.

But Marshal Lyautey never replied to my letters.” (Copyright, 1925, in United States, Britain and all other countries, I»f American Newspaper Alliance. All Teserved.) DIES OF PNEUMONIA.
