calls himself sultan of Morocco, has
been making a series of flerce attacks
on the French line between Taza and
Fez and his troops are not far from

His propaganda among the tribes hith-

his standard, while others have been
disarmed by the French. Should Krim
be able to take Fez and overthrow
Sultan Muley Youssef there would al
most certainly be a general uprising
throughout Morocco in favor of the
Riff leader. Realizing this, Marshal
Lyautey is hurrying tanks, artillery,
cavalry and machine guns to the line

from Batum were landed secretly oun
the RIff coast not long ago from no
