ANIMOSITY BETWEEN RIFFIAN
AND SPANIARDS THWARTED
ARMISTICE. ¢
OUDJA, April 19—(#)—Whether
there is to be peace or continued
warfare in Morocco will be decided
in the next three days. The first
meeting of the Franco-Spanith and
Riffian delegates in preliminary
pourparlers to settle upon annlsticé.
terms resulted in disagrcemont st
Camp Bedteaux yesterday. :
Three Riffian delcrates, all stand
ing well above six fect, wearing
white flowing robes and white ture
bans, declined to permit the French
and Spanish troops to advance seyn
kilometers along the front as mili--
tary guarantee of good faith and al
so objected to the proposal for ex
change of prisoners. g
It was said in unofficial, but well
informed circles that the Fren¢h
were outspoken in a desire for pedes,
but animosity between the Riffinlv'jj!f
and Spaniards thwarted an armistice
and may ultimately cause failure of
the peace negotiations. R
The Riffians were given three ddys
to accept or reject the terms offergd.
