In 1921 Abd-el-Krim led a revolt | against the Spanish administration, | and especlully against Spanish controi of banditry. Through the weakness of the central government in Spain and the criminal negligence and in- ympetence of Spanish generals in the eld, the Moors quickly obtained a | decisive advantage. All the central 4 part of the Spanish zone in Morocco, exactly that part which hitherto had heen the stronghold of banditry, came under Abd-el-Krim's control, which soon_overs, of Djel panish pald out mil - | and the Atlantlc By the end of 1924 Abd-el-Krim had | solidly established control all over the | northern zone, with the exception of a few insignificant coast towns and the western plain between Tangier and Larache. His covetous eyes then turned toward the enticing riches of the French zone, which for so many had furnished easy pickings for his_ancestors. The weakness and the unbelievable lack of foresight of the then French government, the advanced age of Gen. Lyautey, the French commissioner, and the smallness and the dispersion of the French military forces all com hined to lead Abd-elKrim to believe that the French zone would fall into his hands a8 easily as had the Spanish zone, and would furnish rich pillage. His dreams even went so far that he pictured himself sacking the rich cities of Fez, Meknes, Rabat and Casa- blanca. Without warning last Spring he as- sailed the French line, and, despite the strenuous, superhuman efforts of the outnumbered and overwhelmed Irench. he succeeded in capturing 7 outposts, putting the garrisons to tor ture and death.

Incur Dangerous Risks. We are accused of being engaged in hostilites in which we do not run any danger. While it is true that we have not suffered any casualties, that is the result of pure luck. An escadrille in the same field as ours, engaged on the same work, has lost in four months three officers killed and four wounded, out of a total of 12 effectives. Only yesterday morning, during an operation, the observer in a biplane flying with ours was shot in the head and killed, and its pilot recelved a bullet in the temple, be- ing dangerously, perhaps mortally, wounded.
