WAR IN MOROCCO.
ABD EL KRIM’S ARMY. TANKS AND AEROPLANES. ATTACK ON THE FRENCH. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT, Received Mav 9, 11.10 n.m PARIS, May 3. Le Matin says that Abd el Krini’s surprise attack against the French zone was made by a semi-modern ainiy, equipped with quick-firing guns, 50 heavy guns, a few tanks, and half-a-dozen aeroplanes. The objective was to cut the EezTazza railway, and. then rouse the subject tribes against the French. A successful surprise attack is no longer possible .in consequence of the hurrying of reinforcements from Algeria. The work of relieving the .French position continues methodically. The French counter-offensive, however, will not. extend bevond the French zone.
