(AUSTRALIAN AKD K.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.)

PARIS, November 12.

"Lo Journal" publishes a message from Madrid Btating that over 80 militant extremists were arrested yesterday in Madrid alone. The censorship is stricter than ever and newspapers are not allowed to mention arrests in the provinces. Four bombs wore found in the public gardens at Monjuich, and in consequence five arrests have been made. IN MOROCCO. CAMPAIGN TO BE PUSHED TO CLOSE. (AUSTRALIAN AXD K.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) MADRID, November 12. Extensive operations are now proceeding in Morocco in pursuance of the Directory's resolve- to bring tho campaign against the Riffs to a conclusion, even though this involves some withdrawal from the enemy country. General,dc Rivera, who has now exchanged tho Dictatorship in Spain for the High Commissionership of Morocco, is directing the operations boldly and has decided to fall back from tho holy city of Shcshuan, 45 miles south-west of Tetuan, to a new fortified lino. A communique in this connexion 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 lighting, the Spaniards lost 10 killed and 52 wounded. The War Office has decided to postpone disbandment of the 1921 class and to call tho 1924 class to tho colours in order to pursue an inexorable campaign.
