Page Ten 4,000 PICKED FRENCH TROOPS IN ATTACK ON INVISIBLE RIFF ARMY Riff Rebel. Attempt To Surprise Enemy During Dust Storm But Are Repulsed After Terrific Infantry And Cavalry Drive Tuesday, August IS Girl DJfTes'Grcek Dictator . ,102 OK 1 (By JOHN O-BRIEX, United News Staff Correspondent) niAni rnrh Mnrroco. (By Courier to Fez) Aug. ! I watched 4,000 French troops battle an invisible enemy Sun-; day during a howling, blinding dust storm, that hid the sun , and made the battlefield a swirling pall of gnt. Through the gritty gloom could be seen the flashes of rifles and the sounds of battle rang sharply in my ears. , "The Skifia post has been relieved.' was the brief de scription given the lighting in the French official communique. That was all it said of the operations, which "extended along an eight-milo front, and compelled the French troops to cross the Ouergha four times under Riffian fire from the crags., which commanded the crossing. For two hours the troops were handicapped by the suffocating dust storm. j A column of Senegalese inranir.i Algerian cavalry and one white bat , occupied rocky cliffs, where they In- j tended to wait to catch the return- inc troops. Twice the returning . raiders forded the Ouergha. but were forced back by the Riffian fire. ; while the French artillery rained shells on the cliffs. The river banks are cliffs 100 feet high. There are! no paths. We were forced to give talion of infantry left Ojara. eu miles north of Fei. at S a. m.. in Inkv darkness. Cignrettes were Btrictlv forbidden.
