MADRID, December 21.-socialist
troops took up strong positions west
of the capital today, consolidating
hotly-fought victory on the Fascist
left flank.
At Pozuelo, Villaneuva, Delpardillo
and Valdemorielo the Spanish de-
tenders strengthened their lines for
IL miles along the strategic Ell Es-
corral highway to the snow-capped
Guadarrama Mountains.
The Fascists were repulsed with
heavy losses in two charges, launched
simultaneously against the north
western hrst line of defense, the gov
eminent reported.
After the bitter fighting the So
cialists rushed troops to their new
positions. The Socialists captured six
tanks, which they proudly dragged
into the city as spoils Of war.
Gen. Francisco Franco, the insur-
gent commander. appeared to be
bringing up reserves to strengthen
his left wing in readiness for q drive
on the FL Escorial highway.
A victory there would open the road
from the Guadarramas to the insur-
gent forces that have been blocked
at the mountain passes since the f1rst
few weeks of the war.
Artillery threw tons Of shells on the
Fascist concentrations throughout the
day, seeking to delay the potential
danger which the government recog-
nizes In that direction.
The government took advantage Of
the after the battle lull to prepare an
assault on the insurgent right nank
south Of the city.
Gen. Frances position now lies
roughly in the angle formed by the
Madrid-El Escorial road on the north
west and the Madrid-Aranjuez road
almost due south.
An insurgent cavalry charge near
Aranjuez yesterday. the government
said, was repulsed.
1t was reported from Barcelona the
Fascist cruiser Canarias shelled the
small town Of Culera on the Catalan
coast, but the range was poor and
the explosives fell into the nearby
mountains without doing any damage.
Four insurgent planes also were said
to have taken part in the attack on
Culera as well as Port Bou. near the
French border. The reports said sew
eral bombs fell 2 miles within French
territory.

story of St: Nicholas and gently ex-

that his spirit of generosity ID the

but depends on mothers narrative
ability.
Now, all you have to do Is decide
whether the children ought to be
told.
