"Thc theatre Of war is transferred to
Catalonia. Shame to the Spanish Cen
erals for it Nothing can excuse them
for having allowed Don Carlos and Don
Sebastian to have progressed so far
However, what can You expect where

see Don Carlos on he throne of Madrid,
not that think he has the slightest chance
of remaining there, thanks to the repub.
licans for it, not tho constitutional army
and the Queens government.
