NOTIFIED TO
QUIT MADRID
Government There Now
Admits Rebel Attack
Major Threat
FOREIGN AIRPLANES
FIGHT FOR FASCISTS

Copyright, United Press. 1866
Late developments in the Span
ish civil war include:
MADRID.-The loyalists are in
an urgently dangerous position on
the Talavera front. A savage reb-
ell thanking attack is seeking to cut
off the main force from Madrid.
Americans have been given 40
hours to leave Madrid on the last
refugee ship. Loyalists suddenly
cease bombardment of the Alca-
Ear at Toledo and refuse to ex-
plain whether this means silent
siege or an infantry attack.
SAN SEBASTIAN.-Rebels are
being moved westward toward Bill
boa in an effort to starve the pop
ulation into submission.
SEVILLE.-Rebels charge the
loyalists have massacred 537 per-
sons in II towns.
LISBON.-The Madrid govern
ment today offered its war fiiers
a bonus of $4,000 each for every
rebel plane shot down, in a des-
perate effort to decide the week
long battle Of Talavera in favor
of the loyalists.
Opposing armies are locked just
east of Talavera, about 65 miles
southwest of Madrid, in a battle
that has ragged on the ground and
in the air for eight days. Suprem-
acy in the air would decide the
hard-fought engagement, and on
it's outcome may rest the fate OF
the capital and the socialist-com-
munist government itself.
Rebel commanders Tuesday raj
lied all available forces for ma
ior offensive against Madrid.
Artillery duels in the Guadar-
rama mountain passes north OF
the Spanish capital presaged re-
newed activity there after a pc
riod of quiet while on the Estre.
madura front insurgents smashed
their way six miles nearer Toledo.
The Madrid government, admit
ting imminence Of a major threat
from the rebel base of operations
at Talavera de la Reina, rushed
guns, men and supplies to the dan
ger zone.
Otherwise the Spanish military
situation was virtually unchanged.
At Madrid, the newspaper Clari-
dad said today that authoritative
reports from the Talavera sector
confirm that foreign mercenaries,
especially aviators, are fighting
for the fascists. Some have pur-
suit planes capable of 400 kilo.
meters per hour GAS mph) and
various commercial trimotors
which carry small cannon, three
machine guns and can carry 80
persons"
At Madrid, yesterday, notice
was posted that Americans must
leave Madrid, and that the Amer
lean embassy there would be
closed to them. -.
The notice stated that Ameri-
cans had been told on various oc-
casions that they remain in Ma
drid at their own risk and on their
own responsibility and that every
opportunity had been afforded
them to leave.
1t announced that the state de-
partment had arranged for the
u. S. S. Quincy to make one more
evacuation trip. All Americans
who desire to leave on the Quincy
must leave here the night of Sept.
18 in order to board the warship
at Alicante on Sept. 10.
Wandelin and other members OF
the staff were authorized by Am
bassador Claude Bowers, at pres
ent in France, to remain in the
building after Sept. %.

for cars without good gears and brakes and
for careless drivers. Mountain slides, which
during the years of dynamiting the road out
of rocky precipices have not infrequently
covered it up, will always be a possibility
here, especially during the rainy season, due
to begin in June and to continue well into the
fall E.
On this part of the road a car is some
times over clouds, sometimes in them. 1t is no
road for night driving and never will be. for
the night .fogs would prevent the best of
drivers from avoiding mountain slide, visible
and easily lodged by day. Above all, a rider
in the darkness will miss the grandeur of the

achieved, the road passes through these
mountains and goes on to Monterrey in the
midst of mountains. After that the motorist
will always be in or under mountains. With
an eastward veer the road runs down into
tropical jungles against the Gulf of Mexico -
lands where parrots screech, alligators below

the diminutive deer, and oranges hang on the
dark green trees like million toy suns of gold

But it is at Tamazunchale (''Thomas and

in the road - that the marvels of highway
construction and of nature really begin. In
fifteen or twenty miles, the road ascends
approximately 5000 feet to a point over
