CLIMAX REACHED IN WAR AT CASABLANCA French Forces Are Compelled to Ask for Reinforcements at Once. Paris, Aug. Moroccan situation is regarded here as having assumed a distinctly more serious aspect.

The ferment in the interior of Morocco, the proclamation of Mulai Hafig, the Sultan's brother, as Sultan by a section of the rebels, and the appearance of a new Moorish army before Casablanca have created the fear that the whole country will soon be ablaze with fanaticism. General Drude, commander of the French forces at Casablanca, practically asked for reinforcements, pointing out that his are worn out with being constantly under arms, but especially insisting that 'he is losing the advantage gained by his successes small force at his disposal prevents him from following up his victory. The government appreciates the justice of the arguments, and although orders to forward additional troops to Morocco had not been issued up to noon today the government 1s expected to decide on this before, one night. thousand colonial infantry, cavalry and troops of other arms have been mobilized at Oran ready embark on board transports, and other transports and warships are in readiness at Mediterranean ports to sail immediately for Morocco. Public Sentiment Strong.

Public sentiment in France is becoming stronger against the present halfway measures, which, it is feared, will only lead to disaster. The papers insist that the world must support France if it is decided to send 8 military expedition to Fez for in no other way, the newspapers claim, can the existing state of anarchy in Morocco be ended. The government, however, is resisting this pressure, desiring to keep within the bounds of the Algeciras convention and the reports that tiong are on foot to secure an enlargement of the mandate of the powers are emphatically denied. Nevertheless, even in official circles it is admitted that something might happen which would place an entirely new complexion on the situation and compel France, in the name of the powers, to chastise Morocco. Special dispatches received here today from Tangier say that Mulai Hafig, the brother of the Sultan of Morocco, who recently was proclaimed Sultan, is marching on Casablanca with Moorish reinforcements to the number of 15,000 men, recruited from the most fierce and fanatical tribesmen or the south of Morocco.
