to prevent escape of rebels by sea.
He announced his men we're about
to surround the Colon Hotel, where
several rebellious leaders Of the state
were said to be staying
The Spanish foreign legion in
Morocco was quick to respond to Mad
rid's caH for help, a force of the
legionnaires landing at Algeciras, near
Gibraltar. They were to be rushed
across the nation to Barcelona.
Fight Near Lerroux Home.
Shortly after nightfall a fierce bat
tie broke out in Madrid near the home
of Premier Lerroux in an executive
residential section of Madrid. The
government rushed machine gun de-
taChments to defend the premier.
Red Cross wagons rushed victims
to hospitals. Blasts of rife and pistol
fire, punctuated by the heavier roll of
machine guns, swept down ODonnel
street, on which Lerroux's home is
situated.
Another group Of rebels suddenly
swarmed across the Plaza Cideles. Just
in front Of the Associated Press office.
The extremists cut loose with machine
guns. Civil guards charged directly
into the fire, advancing to the very
muzzles OF the flaming guns.
Retreat Becomes Rout.
They smashed through the extremist
Gordon in front of the ministry of
war, the ministry of communications
and the Bank Of Spain, ard rebels
retreated. The retreat turned into q
rout down the Avenue Castellana. the
Avenue Alcala and the Prado as the
civil guards brought their own ma
chine guns into action.
The street near Lerroux's home also
was cleared by machine gun fire.
Then neavy firing broke out at the
famous Puerta del Sol, where the
ministry Of the interior is situated.
Assault forces poured into the plaza
there from five arterial streets. a
veritable army appearing to converge
upon a strategic center down the
spokes of a wheel.
At ii pm, after martial law had
been proclaimed, Madrid again was
turned into a battlefield as the army
swung into action under the emer-
gency provisions.
Troops Enter Madrid,
Troops began moving into Madrid
concentrating at strategic points, from
nearby barracks. They had full war
equipment, topped by steel helmets.
Immediately following the announce
ment from Barcelona, Premier Lerroux
stepped to the radio and announced
to the people Of Spain that the revo-
luton had reached its height, with
the proclamation of a Catalonian re-
public, but that the remainder of the
provinces in Spain had announced
their loyalty to the government.
I'VE deplore this attitude with our
entire hearts, but We hold no
vengeance" the premier said of the
Catalonian secession. The govern
ment has found it necessary to de-
clare martial law throughout Spain
and the law will be applied in full
force. The army in Asturias already
has taken charge of the situation
there and in Madrid the movement
is dominated"

SECURITY PLANS
DUE IN DECEMBER
Miss Perkins Outlines Some
Objections of Program
Now Being Mapped.

~ the Associated Press.
-nSAN FRANCISCO, october 6.-Miss
Frances Perkins, Secretary OF Labor,
ssid in an address today President
Roosevelt's Committee on Economic
Security, of which she Is chairman,
will report its program December l.
The report, Miss Perkins told the
Commonwealth Club, will be COM
prehensive and unified program" aimed
to give protection to the individual
in all the vicissitudes and hazards of
modern economic life-unemployment,
accident, invalidity, old age and pre-
mature death"
There is no intention of rushing at
all these objectives at once, Miss Per-
kins said, and progress will be pushed
with great care not to disturb busi-
ness recovery.
Recovery Comes First.
''In all our thoughts" Miss Perkins
emphasized, recovery comes first, but
we believe that security for the indi-
vidual, if properly conceived and timed,
will promote, not retard, recovery"
mo one can be complacent," she
said. while we have IT million people
on relief and are spending l35 million
dollars per month for their support,
without any direct return"
At the present time. Miss Perkins
continued, "at least 80 per cent of the
American people are in a position
where they have very real sense of
personal insecurity" on account of
uncertainty of jobs and business con-
ditionS.
This frightful loss Of personal Sc
curity is one which cannot be ignored" "
she declared.
Predicts New Insurance.
cit is not being ignored by the ad-
ministration"
The Labor Secretary outlined Presi-
dent RooSevelts interest in the Sc
curity problems, and forecast enact
ment of unemployment insurance this
Winter by Congress.
. She indicated the unemployment
insurance would likely take some ideas
from the British system, which she
said, undoubtedly played an important
part in preventing that depression Gn
BRITAIN from reaching such depths
as we have seen here in the past two
years.
The circulation of very consider
able sum of money spent by the
worker every week on the usual
necessities of life kept thousands of
small merchants from ruin.
This in turn acted materially as a
gtabilizing influence on production"
The old age insurance problem is
getting detailed attention from the
Committee on Economic Security she
said Though 28 States have old age
insurance, it is breaking down, she
said, under financial stress.

When daylight came he found q
hiding place under the roots of a
great tree where the water had washed
out a hole in the bank and there he
spent the day, sleeping in safety and
comfort.
He travelled only at night, for being
in strange waters he was shy and
wanted to avoid being seen. This was
especially so after he discovered that
those strange, two-1egged creatures
called men Travelled on the Big River,
not in the water but on it. So he

them with men, but after while he
did.
He passed the homes of men on the
bank and when he approached che Of

at such times he was filled with fear
and wished he had never left home
and was tempted to turn back. But
the wanderluSt was strong within him
and the urge to keep on too great to
be resisted.
Now and then he came to q small
stream flowing into the Big River and
each Of these he went up, most of
them for a short distance only, for he
found them running through open
land and of this he was fraid. But

streams and none equaled the Laugh

Paddy Reaches Big River. =
The wanderer in time will find
Contentment he has left behind.
Paddy the Beaver.

TT WAS not very far from the
Smiling Pool to the Big River and
when Paddy the Beaver got his
i first glimpse Of it he felt a queer
feeling of excitement. Never be-
fore had he seen such a great body
of water. He could look across to
the other shore and see the trees
along the bank, but when he looked
up or down the Big River 1t was
without end. Where did it come from
and where did 1t go? A great longing
to know took possession of him. The
wanderlust urged him on. But which
way should he go?
For long time he sat looking up
the Big River. It was early morning
and he could see trees along the
banks, and far away green hills, and
beyond blue hills which really were
mountains, but Of course he didn't
know that. Then he turned and
looked down the Big River. There
were some trees along the banks, but
for the most part the banks were
bare of trees, for the Big River flowed
between broad meadows with >only
now and then a small tree or little
clumpS Of bushes on the banks.
ut is often better to know the
beginning of things than the end of
things, for in the beginning there is
always the promise Of what may be,
but In the end there Is too often only
disappointment" thought Paddy.
So he decided to go up the Big
River, but it was really the trees that
decided him. It was the trees and a
strange urge that he didn't under
stand at all 1t was the call Of the
northland with its great forests which
is and always has been the homeland
of the Beaver folk. That day he
spent hidden in the swamp around
the mouth Of the Laughing Brook,

crept across the Big River he started
