 Apparently repulsed for the time being at Guadarramas, the north Madrid gateway, insurgents concentrated their attack against loyalist-held communities along the northern seaboard. @,
 San Sebastian and Irun rebels are apparently trying to consoli- date and control a movement from Guadarramas to the ocean.
 The government has captured the town of Adamuz, 2l miles northeast of Cordoba, although a fresh Cordoba onslaught is i'm minent.
 Government warships are hin dering General Franco's plans to transport troops from Morocco to the mainland.
 A recapitulation showed that the government had cut a scim- itar-shapped aisle through rebel territory from Madrid to the Mediterranean.
 The Branch government de- cided today to invite the United States to join the European na- tions in the proposed neutrality accord, respecting Spain's civil war.

The Nome City Council met in regular session last evening with all councilmen present. Records of previous meetings, and ac- counts against the city were read, and all bills approved by the fi- nance committee ordered paid.
 Under the head of communic- tions a letter from the U. s. En- gineers at Nome was read which informed the council that the city warehouse would have to be moved out of the way so that the pile driver could place a line of steel piling along the revetment at that point. The warehouse was to be moved by September 17th. The council reverted to the old arguments, some wishing to preserve the building as city warehouse and others wishing to tear it down. A motion to recon sider the former action of calling for bids to tear it down was lost, and specifications set for adver- ttisement.
