SUBDUING THE RIFFS. A DEFIANT CHIEF. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright). (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, June 15. The Daily Express’s Tangiers correspondent says: Abdel Krim, chief of the Riffs, is now fighting the Spaniards at Melilla. In a special interview he said: ‘Tor two years I sent delegations to Paris, London, and elsewhere appealing for help in my people’s struggle for independence. I appealed to the League of Nations, and met with deaf ears. I appealed to the world through diplomats living here. Now I am forced to repeat Kemal’s words, ‘We leave the spoken word and the paths of diplomacy and rely on the sword and the justice of our cause. To that end we will depend on our own strong right arm to sustain our cause and obtain our independence’.”
