WAR IN MOROCCO
ABDEL KRIM’S SURPRISE ATTACK. FRENCH REINFORCEMENTS. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. PARIS, May 8. Lo Matin says that Abdel Krirn’s surprise attack against the French zone was made by a semi-modem army equipped with quick-firing guns, about 50 heavy guns, a few tanks, and half a dozen aeroplanes. Its objective was to cut the Foz-Tazza 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 reliering the French position continues methodically.. The French counter-offensive, however, will not extend beyond the French zone.—Reuter.
