SPAIN IN MOROCCO
A BOLD POLICY. MADRID, Nov. 12. Extensive operations are now proceeding in Morocco in pursuance of the* Directory’s resolve to bring the campaign against Biffs to a conclusion, even though” this involves some withdrawal from enemy country. General Primo De Rivera, who exchanged the Dictatorship of Spain for the High Commissionership of Morocco, is directing operations. Hq boldly decided to fall back from the Holy City of Sheshuan, forty-five miles south of Tetuan to a new fortified line. A communique in this connection says: Tho Spaniards, supported by warships and aeroplanes, provoked an engagement with a view to inflicting exemplary chastisement so as to facilitate subsequent retirement. In the course of hard fighting the Spaniards lost ten killed and fifty-two wounded. Th 0 War Office has decided to postpone the disbandment of the 1921 class, and call the 1924 class to the colours in order to pursue the inexorable campaign.
