...Empire. At one time he pacified Madagascar and even before the War, was Resident General in Morocco, where he has shown that he is as much a diplomat as a military man. It is likely that the great task of organizing the last few week intensive offenses before the winter sets in is to be placed on the younger shoulders of Marshal Petain and General Naulin. On the fate of their efforts depends whether or not it will be necessary to carry on the war next year or whether Abd-el-Krim can be decisively beaten this fall. Complete success...
...French strategy in conjunction with Marshal Lyauty. The French problem now seems to be rather a race with time than a battle with the Riffs.

The Morocco-Algerian railway is now well behind the front and not subject to raids...

Though equipped with radio, the Maude has not been heard from directly for months. Presumably she was been withholding gasoline from her power generators, for use in crashing the floes. Hearing of her return, Explorer Amundsen, in Copenhagen, conferring with German dirigible experts upon a proposed pole-flight...
