BRITISH ANSWER SPAIN.
Deprecate Action That Might Violate
Tangier Pact.

LONDON. July II CP).-It is learned
authoritatively that the British reply
to the Spanish suggestion for its CO.
operation in Morocco deprecates any
action which might be interpreted as
violating the neutrality of the Tangier
zone
The British reply says this zone
does not seem to be in any immediate
danger and that British cooperation
with Spain might have provocative
effect. The British government ex-
presses willingness to continue 10 as
sist in policing territorial waters, but
cannot undertake any more extensive
operations.
This British note replies TO Span
ish communication which reached
London late in June and never was
published, but in which it is under
stood the Spanish government invited
Joint action by France, Great Britain
and Spain to insure the neutrality of
Tangier and to police the waters of
the Tangier zone. Foreign Secretary
Chamberlain told the House of Com
mons recently that the British gov
ernment had received an invitation
from Spain to join in Moroccan meas
ures,' but went into no details other
than to say there was no question of
Great Britain participating in a Mo-

by the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 1.-THE French and
Spanish governments have arranged
TO coordinate their military operations
against Abd-el-krim's Riffian tribes
men. The Spanish effort will be on
a rather small scale. it is understood,
but nevertheless it is expected to
have real effect.
The French war ministry has de-
cided to transfer three divisions OF
colonial troops, now in the Ruhr and
France. to Morocco. Gen. Stanislas
Naulin, newly appointed commander
in chief of the French Moroccan
forces, will have about 100000 men
at his disposal when he takes charge
July 49,
Reports circulated among the vari-
Gus Moroccan tribes that Abd-el-
Krim's contemplated offensive against
Fez would be successful, caused a
panic among tribes friendly TO the
French. They began to flee to the
south with their cattle, their horses
and all their possessions. They are
now moving back to their old terri
tory, reassured by the news of Add

the French.

SITUATION NOW CALM.
Abd-el-Krim's Propaganda Swings
Many From French.

F'EZ, French Morocco. July IL OP).-
The situation along the front, where
the French forces are holding the
Riffian invaders in check, appears
calm for the moment.
Abd-el- krim's principal activities are
of political nature. These, however.
are almost as dangerous as military
action, as they aim at weakening or
destroying the loyalty of the tribes
hitherto friendly to the French. The
natives in the Quezzan region, on the
western French wing, are showing
signs of succumbing to this intensified
propaganda.
At the same time the enemy is con-
tinuing his military preparations,
notably around the Tafrant post.
The ferocity of the Moorish attacks
against the French lines at night may
be accounted for, in part, at least, by
the part the tribeswomen play in
them.

henna, race after the raiders, Shrek
