The Powers will maintain a police force in the Riff cularg-d zones. Ceuta and Melilla will ’ belong to Spain. The League of Nations will control the new boundaries. The newspapers learn from Madrid that if Abd-el Krim has not replied by August 15, the Spanish troops will start an offensive, preceded by landings on the coast. “L ’Eclair” says that France will meanwhile strive by all means to effect the final destruction of Abd-ul Krim, KRIM’S CUTBNE3S. “DOCTORS” DETAILS OF TERMS.
