By the Associated Press FEZ, French Morocco, May 21.—It was admitted in military circles here today that the menace of the Riffians under Abd-el-Krim, who recently in- vaded French Morocco from the Span- |ish zone, is more grave than had pre- viously been stated. Every possible measure to deal with the situation at a minimum cost of life and money is being taken. Gen. Count de Chambrun has taken active charge of the operations of the forces of Col. Freydenberg and Gen. Cambay on the center” and right fronts. The campaign against the invaders is about to enter upon a new phase. Gen. Hoeusch, Marshal Lyautey" chief of staff, announces that the re- inforceménts this far recelved will suffice to cover the whole front, per- mitting the troops to pass from a pas- sive to an active defense and enabling the French to throw back the in- vaders.

VESHOT N RUSH 0F OB ON PRSON Dallas Crowd Seeks Two Men Held on Murder and As- sault Charges. Br the Associated Press DALLAS, Tex., May 21.—Five men were wounded, one seriously, in an exchange of shots between officers guarding the Dallas County jail and a mob of about 300 persons shortly after 1 o'cléck this morning. The mob, bent on taking Frank and Lorenzo Noel, negroes, brothers, in- dicted yesterday in connection with two murder and criminal assault cases, was driven back after about 30 shots had been fired. All the injured were civilians. The only officer hurt {was Sheriff Schuyler Marshall, who was struck by a flying brick. The wounded are Dwight Stewart, N. E. Duncan, J. J. Young, Tim Jolly and C. J. Pullman. Stewart was seri- ously woundeéd, being shot in the side. His recovery is doubtful. The others were only slightly wounded. About 100 men and a woman were arrested and placed in the jail. No charges were filed against them. Maintain All Night Vigil. After the attack, the crowd around the jail, which began congregating early in the night and at one time was estimated at 5,000, gradually dis persed, although several hundred per- sons malntained an all-night vigil. Reports that the attack would be re newed kept officers on the alert, al- though they said they expected no further outbreak. The rush which resulted in the shooting started when a band of men, armed with rocks and bottles, attack- ed the line of policemen and firemen guarding the west side of the jail bullding. Efforts of firemen to beat the mob back with streams of water were unavailing, and the mob broke through the line. At this point firing began and police standing by opened fire, discharging about 30 shots, most of them into the air. The mob imme- diately fell back and the attack sub- sided. The wounded were treated at hos- pitals. Adding to the night's excitement were several fire alarms, all false. They were considered the work of persons who desired to divert firemen from guard duty at the jail. Armed with machine guns, shot- guns, side arms, tear bombs and fire hose, about 75 officers maintained guard over the jail throughout the night. The jail is considered mob- proof. The two negroes are confined on one of the top floors of the eight- story structure. The only access to the upper floors is by means of a small elevator which in time of emergency can be automatically fastened to the of the shaft. OB e negroes were arrested last Fri- day and indicted vesterday after one of them was sald to have confessed to the killing of Ryan Adkins and the assault of his woman companion on a lonely road north of the city on’the night of April 12. Frank Noel also was indicted for the murder of W. L. Milstead and assault upon his woman companion on the night of April 25..
