MOROCCO

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

Stn; -It is a little difficult to agree with Mr. Arnold Lupton that Abdel Krim is a friend of this country in view of the latter's past record ; and even if he were, his methods of warfare—e.g., the burning alive of French prisoners and the cold-blooded murder of Spanish officers—would hardly entitle either him or his cause to any consideration on our part.—I

am, Sir, &c., CHARLES PETRIE. Carlton Club, Pall Mall, S.TY .1.
