LETTER FROM KRIM CARRIED TO FRENCH Moroccan Chieftain Reported to Have Fled Into West, Deserted by Tribes. By the Aseociated Press. FEZ, French Moroceo, May 24— One of the members of the French medical mission in the Riff returned today, reportedly bearing a letter from Abd-el-Krim, the Rifflan chief, to Jules Steeg, the French resident general of Morocco French army headquarters report- ed today that one by one the tribes formely adhering to Abd-el-Krim are deserting him. It w erted that the capture of Targuist. which Ahd- el-Krim allegedly boasted was im- presnable, without fighting Sunday morning would e an immense impression on the tribesmen and ac- celerate the movement oy from the Riffian war lord. Tribe Refuses Support. A dispatch from Madrid May 18 said the war office had announced that day that Tamasin. former headquar- ters of Krim in the Targuist region, had been oceupied the Krench troops. The dispntch added that Krim previously had moved his headquar- ters to Setriff, in the interfor of the it country, to which access was ex- tremely difficult. The De Tribe, one of the most powerful rocco and one of Krim's st bpoxters, is re- ,ried to have refused to repiy to an appeal from Krim to send con- zamst the Franco-Spanish Jeclaring it desires to keep its for eventual defense of its ‘n territory. .

Early consideration of the bill intro- duced in the House authorizing the purchase of Fort Washington, Md., and Fort Hunt, Va. for Addition to the park system of metropolitan ‘Washington will be sought by Repre- sentative Zihlman, {ts author, it was indicated today. Those Interested in saving these two historic posts, which played such an important part in the artillery defenses of the Capital City before the great coast defenses at Fort Monroe, Va., were developed to their present state of efficiency, desire that Congress take action on_the measure before adjournment. With this end in view, Mr. Zihlman indi- cated that he would push the measure with all pessible speed. It has been decided to change the reference of the bill from the com- mittee on public buildings and grounds to that of the military affairs commit- tee because it was belleved that as these are now military posts and the ———————————————————— forced to ask pardon the entire French zone will be pacified even more thor- oughly than before Abd-el-Krim's of- fensive last year, and grave problems of Franco-Spanish relations again will rise. li’l‘he military difficulties of the French armies increase as they ad- vance into the rough mountains. It akes time to build new roads and trai It would perhaps be impru- dent, to fling ill-supported columns farther into the chaotic wilderness, which is so favorable for raids and ambushes. Stand in West Expected. The latest information seems to indi- cate that Abd-el.Krim's intention now is to make a stand in the western RIff, hoping the French will cease opera- tions and he will have to fight the Spanish alone. It is reported from Tangier that the tribes in the Te- touan and Ceuta regions, who re- cently submitted to the Spanish, again have taken the war path at Abd-el- Krim's instigation. From Tangier smoke can be seen of burning crops and villages whose inhabitants have been massacred. Should France fight for Spain throughout these regions? French opinion doubtless would mot permit it. Or should the French remain quiet on their new front while Spain again tries to pacify the region? Such an armed truce might be long and costly. Moreover, French and Spanish methods of colonization are totally different and some French authorities fear too long co-operation with the Spanish might hurt French prestige with the natives throughout French zone.

Committee Meeting Soon. Representative Morin of Pennsyl- vania Is chairman of this committee, but is now out of the city, just hav- ing participated in the Pennsylvania campaign. Hcwever, it 18 expected that a_mecting of the committee will be called shortly after his return at the instance of Mr. Zihlman, In addition to being chairman of the House District committee, Mr, Zihlman is a member of the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion, and is thoroughly familiar with the commission’s plans for the im- provement of the park and recreation facilities of the Capital City and vi- cinity. =~ The difficulties being met with today by the commlscion in the purchase of lands for park.purposes within the District, when the Govern- ment is being faced with the neces- sity of paying extremely high figures because of the advance of property values, have brought strongly to the minds of the members of the commis- sion the necessity of preserving now every bit of possible park area in the outlying territory. Otherwise, it was pointed out, the Government will face the same situation when the Park Commission, when its small funds permit, does have to go over the line and purchase properties for the pro- tection of the watersheds of the Lo o e Potomac and Anancostia’ Rivers and Rock Creek. Price Would Increase, ‘While it was pointed out that it may be some years before the land at Forts Washington and Hunt will actually be tied to the park system, it was added that the Government should not permit these valuable properties, high in historic interest, to slip into private hands at a compar- atively nominal cost and then be faced in later years with the propo- sition of buying them back at several times the present-day sale figure. However, it is not admitted that they cannot be used now. Both are located at ideal points on the Poto- mac River, and, aside from their sen- timental value, which demands their preservation in the hands of the Gov- ernment, they would furnish ideal recreation spots, within a half-hour’s rl;n by aytomobile from the Capital City. The two posts have fine beaches, and are located on the channel of the Potomac, making them accessible for boats of all drafts. Both posts have good buildings in a good state of pres- ervation. It was added that the historic works, built by Maj. L'Enfant, who developed the plan for the city of Washington, as one of his last acts for this Government before his death, would have absolutely no value to a private purchaser, but are priceless from the standpoint of their preserva- tion among the places of interest in and about the Capital City. Other Chances Lost. In this connection, it was pointed out that many of the historical places in the Capital City have been lost for- ever in their original state because the Government failed to take prompt action for their preservation. While the bill provides for their purchase as a part of the park system and for the protection of the Potomac water shed, it was said the funds would be merely a transfer on the books from one fund to another. The War Department is asking their sale because they have been declared obsolete from a military standpoint, and it wants the funds e e i ONE OF SOCIETY BRAND’S EXCLUSIVE FABRICS DUNBAR POPLIN A COOL FABRIC Society Brand As light and cool as a fabric can be.

Strong efforts will be made by Mr. Zihlman and others to make the mil! tary committee see the great im- portance of saving these two posts at this time. While municipalities and States have 2 years and ¢ months in which to purchase these obsolete posts, it was indicated that it is im- perative that prompt action he taken to save the lands for the Iederal park system. Mr. Zthiman's bill provides for the purchase of the lands under the park | commission reorganization act, but it carries a specific authorization for the appropriation of a special fund with which to buy these posts at their appraised value. This would be in addition to the $600,000 appropriation allowed the commission annually for the purchase of lands within the Dis- trict, and still would permit the park and planning body to use these funds to continue its program within the District.
