MOROCCO FIGHT. NEARS END

CAMPAIGN MEETS WITH SUCCESS

Robat, Aug. 18. The French campaign

to subdue rebellious Morocco tribesmen and to realise Marshal

dream Lyautey's

of bringing Morocco within the Pax Gallica 18 noaring completion after years of guerilla warfaro.

During the latest advances of four mobile columns of French and Inative levics, which are clearing up the Inst unpacifled portion in the great Atlas mountains, over 5,000 Berbers entered the French lines to hand over their arms.

The submission of these fierce. warriors has ended the siege on the last strategical citadel of the tribesmen, and the task of pack- fention in the high and arid moun- tains of the Grand Atlas is now practically finished.—Reuter.

MUNITIONS DEPOT CATCHES FIRE

A BAD SCARE IN LILLE

Paris, Aug. 20,

A panic was crented on Thurs- day among the inhabitants of the city of Lille by the news that a | big subterranean munitions depot in the nearby village of Airc-sur- Lya had for Rome unknown reason caught fire and that the flames were slowly eating their way to- wards the main depot,. The muni- tions dump which was originally established by British troops during the war and is only 200 feet from the highroad, was reported to contain mainly કાક humbs and the fire was therefore fraught with the gravest danger for the entire region. The fire was extinguished before serious peril developed.
