Refugee Stream Flows
From San Sebastian

tian today by boat. cart, and on
foot as the 4S-hour insurgent ulti.
matum Of surrender or be de-
stroyed" passed the halfway
point,
Silence was the reply Of San
Sebastian's defenders to the de-
mands Of Gen. Emilio Mola, in.
surgent commander.
Destruction faced the seaside
resort from within and without,
as anarchists prepared to burn
San Sebastian, and General Mola
tried to move his 6-inch guns into
position on the hills overlooking
the city.
Two Forts to Pass
With two strong forts outside
the city still in the hands Of the
defense forces. 1t Is believed San
Sebastian is prepared to resist a
long siege, since inSurgent artil.
lery is understood still to be be-
yond range Of the resort.
Mola'S warning was delivered
yesterday by Mayor Margevita, of
Irun. who told the governors Of
San Sebastian that unless they
surrendered by Sunday afternoon
the city would, like Irun, be de-
Stroyed.
Insurgent airplanes dropped
pamphlets over San Sebastian
reading:
"TO the people of San Sebas-
tian:
"In order to spare the lives Of
innocent persons, 1t is demanded
that all foreigners, the civilian
population, and nOncOmbatants
leave the city within 48 hours.
"After that time, the nation
allSts (inSurgentS) will begin
destruction Of the city by bonn
bardment."
The mayor of Trun went to San
Sebastian aboard the French de-
Stroyer Malin with Ambassador
Jean Herbette Of France, who
riSked a second trip although his
life was threatened there Thurs.
day.
Herbette removed the French
consulate staff and the remaining
IL French citizens from San Sebas-
tian, where he reported conditions
worse than ever" The Malin
then visited Bilbao, farther west,
and found that government city
determined to resist to the end.
The Malin brought $50 refugees
from San Sebastian and Bilbao
to st. Jean de Luz, and the British
destroyer Escort evacuated $50.

ITALIAN PRESS
IN FIGHT
ON JEWS
All Members Of Race
Called on to Prove
Loyalty to Fascists

ROME. Sept. IL G.NS).-Ths
Italian press suddenly launched
all anti-Jewish campaign today.
In the first openly anti-Semitio
declaration to appear in the of.
fetal Italian press in years, the
newspaper Regime Fascista called
upon all italian Jews to prove
their loyalty to the Fascist
Party"
Believed to have been written
by the editor, Roberto Farinacci,
one-time secretary of the Fascist
Party and a moving figure in the
party's early days during the sup
preston of Bolshevisrn, the edi-
torial stated:
1--WE must confess that the
Jews of Italy, who are a mi
nority, have intrigued in
thousand ways to gain posts in
the world of Italian finance,
economies, and schools, but they
have not opposed our onward
Fascist march.
SUSPICIOUS AROUSED
1--WE must confess they have
always paid their debts, Obeyed
the laws, and discharged the
duties of war, but they main
tain an attitude which might
arouse certain suspicious.
"Why have they not uttered
a single word which might per
suade Italians they are fulfilling
their duties as citizens for love.
not fear or profit?
"Why do they not demon
strate in some tangible way that
they desire to break away from
all the rest of the Jews in the
world whose ideal is the tri-
umph of the Jewish interna-
tiOnaI?
"Why have not the Jews Of
italy risen against members Of
their religion, destrOyers Of
churches, sewers of hate and
evil, and exterminatOrs of Chris
tianity?
There is a growing impress
ion that Europe shortly will be
in the fever of war of religion.
Are they not aware of this?
"We are certain many will
crOy: We are ascist Jews This
is insufficient until they have
given mathematical proof they
are first FaSciStS and then
Jews"
LAUDS GOEBBELS
The editorial expressed approval
of the recent anti-Bolshevik, anti
Jewish declaration of German
Minister of Propaganda Paul
Joseph Goebbels at Nuremberg,
pointing out similar views were
voiced by Premier MusSolini in
his early speeches in 1919.
The editorial indicated Ger
many and italy were in complete
accord on the theory that Boil.
shevism must be crushed. It
added:
THE eventual duel in Europe
Is well defined. 1t is between
BOlsheviSm and FaScism."
Jews in Spain and France are
supporting Bolshevism, it was
charged.

PARIS, Sept. IL G.N.SJ.-With
knowing winks, townsfolk today
refer to the sleepy little French
beach resort Of Hendaye PLACE,
close to the ruined Spanish from

threatened Madrid and San Sc
bastian.
Never before has Hendaye
seemed as busy as now, with long
distance telephone calls to every
capital and code messages by the
score passing through the local
telephone exchange and village
post office.
One ambassador, speaking with
the utmost dignity, told me:
"YOu understand, the embassy
has been transferred to Irun,
and 1 am only here in France
for convenience in cOmmunicat-
ing with my government.
II am really in SPAIN"
In telling me this, the ambas-
sador repeated the words of vir-
tually every other envoy at Hen
daye.
Mrs. Claude Bowers, wife Of the
American Ambassador, and their
daughter, Patricia, left Spain to
stay at Hendaye a short time
while Ambassador Bowers made a
tour of Spanish ports on American
warships to pick up refugees.
Americans in Peril
Americans were in far greater
danger in isolated Spanish ports
than at Madrid, where the govern
ment was in control, and where
railroad communications with Va
lencia, Barcelona and France were
uninterrupted.
Ambassador Bowers did not hes
itate to go ashore at beSieged
cities to arrange for evacuation
of American citizens.
The German charge d'affaireS
was the first to leave Hendaye
and make the then dangerous jour
ney overland through Barcelona
and Valencia to the Spanish CAPT.
tai. Most of the other ambaSSa-
doris proclaimed their intention to
do likewise, but heSitancy Of Span
ish authorities to guarantee them
safety, lack Of certainty in cb-
tanning supplies and other con-
siderations led to prolonged delay
of their departure.
Autos Display Flags
Beflagged diplomatic automo
biles speed daily across the inter
national bridge at Hendaye for
quick eyewitness surveys Of the
situation along the Irun battle
front. Jean Herbette, Frances
ambassador, crossed into Spain
several times a day. Raffaele
Guariglia, italian envoy, was send
ing kilograms and making tele-
phone calls almost constantly.
All the leading ambassadors
were mentioning around San Sc
bastian when the revolution broke
out, and for some days they were
unable to reach France. Some of
them were under fire frequently.
and there were numerous heroic
exploits by members of the EN-
bassy staffs.
The American embasSy'S Stenog-
rapher at San Sebastian refused
