French Defeated In Morocco

London. Jan. l2-There can no longer be any denying the fact that the Aioors and fellow tribesmen of Morocco are in open revolt against the French and have inflicted heavy dam age on them in several small battles and skirmishes. So bad in fact are conditions in that part of Northern Africa under French rule that many of the lesser important forts have been evacuated and the French government will not try at this time to do more than hold thee oastal regions. During the past four months, France has withdrawn practically ali her seasoned troops from North ern Africa b face the Germans and thus left matters largely b the Moors who have taken advantage of the situation.
