 Morocco Reported As Serious

Madrid, July 22 R,-The position of Fez. held by French headquarters in Morocco, is described as serious in dispatches reaching here, because of the occupation by the rebelllous tribesmen of strategic points over the road from Fl Arba De Tissa to Ain Cha, where the Riffians have entrenched themselves.
 To combat the situation, 1t is de- clared that the French command has organized In Fl Arba De Tissa d column composed of six battaIions provided with heavy artillery.
 Ali along the front the enemy is improving the entrenchment works, and taking every step to meet a French offensive. It is noted that the Taza-Fez line is occupied at some points by the rebels, who are strong in Ain Mediuna, and that the movement there may be designed to force the French troops to evacuate the nearby positions. ..
 Travellers reaching Tetuan, Span ish Morocco. from the French area say that Abd- El-Krim. leader of the Riffians. is not intensifying his as- saults in the direction of Fez be- cause Of the necessity of detaching heavy reinforcements to prevent French operations about Tupus. where he fears cooperation between the spaniards and the French.
