t. By Telegraph—Per Press Assn.—Copyright. Received October 22. 9.45 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 21. A Tangier correspondent says: The Riffs are still full of fight. The recent fighting at Biban was most severe, entailing heavy French losses. Simultaneously, General Beichut’s column further east was strongly attacked by tribes whose submission was prematurely announced. Natives arriving from the Riff country declare that Abd el Krim retains the confidence of the tribes, and is preparing a winter campaign against both France and Spain. WAR TIME FICTION A LIVING CONTRADICTION Received Oct. 23, 1.15 p.m. PARIS, Oct. 22. A report from Tetuan that Abd-el Krim’s foreign Minister was fired from a gun allegedly for treachery is baseless. Mohanazerkane is in excellent health, and is Abd-el Krim’s confidential adviser.
