FRENCH NAME
new RIFF Chief
Situation Is Serious as
Loyal Natives Go Over
to Rebel Leader
(By The Associated Press)

PARIS, July 6.-Supreme command of
the French forces opposing the Riffians
in Morocco is to be taken from Marshal
Lyautey, the governor general and en-
trusted to general who will leave
France Immediately for the front.
This decision, which is subject to
ratification by the cabinet today, was
reached at council OF war held last
night under the chairmanship Of NJ.
Palnleve, premier and war minister.
The step is being taken, it is explained,
to allow Marshal Lyautey freedom in
carrying out his administrative and
political duties.
The man selected for the post is un-
derstocd to be General Guillaumat.
commander in chief of the allied oper-
atlons in the Balkans during the world
war.
Dispatches from Fez yesterday repre-
sented the situation. in a highly pessi
mlStlc light, with wholesale defections
of hitherto friendly tribesmen and an
lnsufficiency of French troops to hold
| the long line against ADD Krim's
drives in the direction Of Fez and Taxa.
This caused such a stir in Paris that
Premier Painleve issued an explanatory
not declaring that public opinion ought
not to allow itself to be disturbed by
such episodes, which are customary in
| colonial wars" The impression pre-
walls, nevertheless, that Add Ell -Krim's
! offensive is developing upon a larger
| scale than any he has thus far attempt
ed, calling for drastic action on the part
! OF the French command
| The French have begun counter
movement and this is making consider
able headway, according to last advices-
from headquarters. Taxa has become
the center Of interest on the Moroccan
front, the tribes north Of that citv
which previously have sided with the
French, now have rebelled, throwing
their support TO Add Ell Krim and thus
increasing the danger of Fez from the
east.
French officials circles, however. ex.
press themselves as reassurei by the
measures being taken to meet this new
| development.

Under-Sea Craft.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, April lo.-A new
arms conference that would give
particular attention to the screaming
or submarines and abolish their
manufacture in the future was sd-
Eocated last night by Eiscount Lee of
Fareham, first lord of the admiralty
under the Lloyd George coalition
government, at dinner of the Phila-
delphia branch of the English Speak
ing Union.
Land disarmament is not fea sibIe >,
he said, for it was shown by the
last war that large armies can be
mobilized quickly. Air disarmament
is not practical, either, for the manu-
facture OF aeroplanes is necessary to
the commercial advance of that in
custry. So far as naval disarmament
rs concerned, I think this question
was dealt with properly by the Wash
ington conference. Abolition of the
submarine is the proper angle from
which TO attack this great problem"
Frank Cyril Tiarks, director of ,the
Bank of England, asserted that the
growth of international finance since
the war had brought England and
America closer together and there
fore tended toward the peace OF the
world.

HAVANA MAYOR ENFORCES
WOODEN BUILDINGS BAN
Orders Demolition Of Many Homes
in Carrying Forward Policy
Adopted by City.
Correspondence Of III. Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
HAVANA, March 27.-Carrying
out an established policy of the City
of Havana, orders have been issued
by the mayor for demolition of many
wooden buildings within the city
limits. Doors, window frames and
furniture are generally the only
wood to be seen in the ma ajority of
Havana's homes and Office buildings.
Floors are tile. ~
Visiting American flremen have
said that Havana is the best con-
structed city they have even seen
when fire risk is considered. The
Spanish style of architecture is gem
orally pleasing to the eye and resi-
dences with ceilings Is or more feet
from the floor are the rule. This pro-
vides greater coolness during the
heat of the Summer days. An even
temperature, falling below 75 only
on rare occasions and generally never
reaching above SS, makes heating ar
rangements unnecessary.
