THE MOROCCAN CAMPAIGN
SPAIN’S “STRATEGIC RETREAT.” END OF WAR PRESAGED. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, November 19. (Received Nov. 19, at 9.20 p.m.) The Spansh Embassy in London has received the following message from Madrid: “By means of a clever and fortunate operation accompanied by only three casualties, the garrison of Xauen, numbering 10,000, has fallen back on Darracabba. This is the first stage of the important total evacuation towards Tetuan, and constitutes definite the realisation of the Directory’s plans, which hitherto no Government has been able to effect. It represents the suppression of 189 posts resulting in future economy of men and money.” \ The Daily Chronicle comments that this dispatch indicates the actual or imminent conclusion of the Spanish war in Morocco. When the Spanish forces cease to fight in the hills where the Riff tribes live there will be an end of the Spanish zone.
