Declare Chiet ade Prisoner TANGI May ¢ 2 French claim that Abd.el-Krim, Rir- fian chief, and his family have been captured at Targuist Abd-el-Krim, as leader of the war- like Rifians, has long been a thorn in the side of the French and Spanish in Morocco. Refueing to recognize the protectorate set up by the Paris and Madrid governments, in 0 far as they affected the Riff, Krim led his warriors in revolt against Spain in 182z, and met with some success. After the Fpaniards had withdrawn me distance and established a sue cessful barrier along the northern lit- toral, however, he turned his atten- tion to the French and launched a drive with Fez as its objective. Krim's announced ébject has been to establish the independence of his | country. At one time he termed him- self Sultan of Morocco and called upon all Moslems to rally to his cause. He consented this Spring to peace pour. parlers, and a conference was held in Oujda, in the I'rerich zone. The nego- fations, however, never really got un. | ler way because of his refusal to ac ept the preliminary conditlons of the French and Spanish calling for dis- armament and exchange of prisoners. Soon after the breakdown uf the peace negotiations the Irench and Spanish began an which has developed into a pincers movement from the north and south. | Within the last few days the French have claimed important victories, and a dispatch from Fez today reports an advance near the village of Targuist, which 18 mentioned in the Tangier dis: patch as the place where Krim was captured.

Capper Ready to Assist. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, chairman of the Senate Distriot com- mittee, who has evinced considerable interest in the plan to save these posts for the park system, when ap- prised of Mr. Zihlman's action, said that he was inclined to support it, and would take any action in the Senate which would be necessary to retain these posts under governmental i { i | ! with Maj. U. ‘ontrol and as a part of the park tem and the extension of the re- creation grounds surrounding the Capltal. Senator Capper said that he is ready to act, even to the extent of introducing a similar bill in the Senate, but he desired first to confer 8. Grant, 8d, executive officer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, get the views of that officlal as to what in his opinion was the best manner of going about the retention of the two posts. The prime purpose in preventing the formal transfer is to save to the War Department the amount of money which they would Lring. This money is to be applied to a general recon- struction fund which the Army will be allowed to use for the purpose of buflding permanent structures at the posts which will be retained in the military defense system throughout the country. The fund which will be provided for the construction through the sale of these obsolete posts, it was pointed out. will not be near enough to provide the Army with all this needed permanent construction, and there 18 no disposition to lose one cent of it. Army Would Get Money. Mr. Zihiman's bill paves the way both for saving the posts and at the same time providing the Army with its funds, thus leaving all parties pleased, The bill authorizes the pur- chase of these posts with Federal funds at the appraised value. The ef- fect of the bill is to make a book transfer of funds, from one pocket of to | ported by Senate committee on mili tary affairs is passed by both hou the two posts will ba appraised, and are to he sold at not less than this se value. are located and iaunicipalities near them are given six months within which to exercise an option to pur chase.

It is expected that the House com- mittee on public buildings and grounds wiil send the bill to the National Capi tal Py formal report as to the desirability of purchasing these lands. Both Senator Capper and Representative Zihlman are members of the Park Commission by virtus of their chairmanships of the District committees of Congress. It is not believed likely that the bill will rest long with the Planning Com mission, as the members of that body who have discussed the matter indi- cate that they are as a unit in favor of the retention of the posts under Federal control.

Other branches of the Guard in former years have used this land for training purposes, and when pur- chased both posts will furnish an adequate camping ground for any of the National Guard units, thus re- taining their military as well as their historic value, In the early days of the Capital, during the trying periods of war, members of the District militia were dispatched there in time of need and many of the ancestors of the people hixe. have no country from its heights.
