ARE 'STALLING,'
BRITISH FEAR
Delay in Organized
Neutrality in Spain
Alarms London

LONDON, Aug. IA GNS).
The peace of Europe was seen
in British diplomatic quarters to-
day as gravely endangered by the
lengthening delay in completion
of the Spanish non-intervention
pact, while partisan nations keep
pouring aid covertly into the war
ravaged country.
Suspicious are increasing here
that Mussolini and Hitler, re-
luctant to agree to any steps
that might facilitate radical
victory in Spain, are deliberately
"stalling."
The British government is urg-
emily considering an embargo on
shipment of civil as well as mill.
tary airplanes to Spain following
departure yesterday of four civil
planes from Croydon airport for
the strife-torn country.
The problem is one requiring
airport clearance and shipment re-
strictions. Whitehall feels an EN-.
barge would aid the non-intervenr
ton negotiations.
Berlin has assured Whitehall Of
it's willingness to cooperate "in
principle" in an a1l-European dec
laration of neutrality, but concrete
action by Germany awaits Mus
solini's signature on the dotted
line.
Official London circles were
greatly alarmed today by private
information from Rome that Pre-
mier Mussolini is ready to back
the insurgent general, Francisco
Franco, openly if he is sure Of
similar support from Chancellor
Hitler for the Fascist cause in
Spain.

PIMA, Saragossa, Spain, Aug.
ID GN.SD.-Only the thin cur
rent of the Ebro River stands to-
day between the two most bitter
foes of the Spanish civil war-the
Carlists (monarchistS) and the
anarchists-at Pima, 20 miles east
of SaragoSSa.
In the topsy-turvy terminology
the conflict has created, Pima is
in the hands of the Government
forces" In reality, Pima is in the
hands of an anarchist army-the
first regular anarchist army ever
created, and one which, I can
testify, is one of the strongest,
most nightmarish daredevil forces
that ever participated in any war.
Fearless Huskies
This anarchist army is com.
posed of bronZed huskies who will
stop at nothing to achieve their
end. Man for man, they are
stronger, bigger, and tougher in
dividuals than any I saw on this
front, including Tardienta, where
the Communist column Is strongly
entrenched, and a few hundred
yards from Sietamo. where the
youths of the Red militia and
regular army are waiting to ad,
vance on Huesca, six miles away
That the anarchist army will
stop at nothing was made clear
by action, not words.
I asked to see the front. I was
shown not only the front, but no
mans land itself, and how I re.
turned alive I don't know.
Tours Front
I was taken on the tour by
Silvia Sanchez, who is in charge
of the Pima sector. a laughing,
slim revolutionary who, by a quirk
of fate, now controls the small
city where he once spent two
months in prison on a charge of
making a SubverSive speech.
A girl accompanied us-a young
girl who was born in Montpelier
France, the daughter of a Spanish
officer in the Austrian army.
Grinning, they both stepped out
over the parapet of the narrow
trench, and with grim humor in
vited me to follow. I didn't want
them to think they we're either
braver or crazier than 1, so I went
along.
Through a pair Of Binoculars
they showed me the insurgent
enemy positions by the railway or
the opposite side of the river
within easy sniping distance.
The girl "militiaman" wanted tc
fire off her pistol to provoke the
enemy and show me some shooting
on both sides. She did, just as we
stepped back into the comparative
shelter of the shallow trench.
She looked like an intellectual

NORTHERN SPANISH REBEL
ARMY HEADQUARTERS. BUR.
Cos, Aug. 14.-Another 1000
dead were reported in Spain'S civil
war today, while upwards Of
100000 new recruits flocked to
Gen. Emilio Mola's northern army,
which has now joined hands with
Gen. Francisco Frances forces.
To effect this juncture and cut
off Madrid from access to Portugal
meant most severe fighting.
Gen. Queipo De Llano, the
commander at Seville, reports that
in the battle of Merida the reds
lost $50 dead and great number
of wounded and prisoners.
Another so Reds were reported
killed by the White garrison at
Orense in the AsturiaS.
Reds Losing
Meanhile, small, tight kernel
of Reds is still holding out in
the center of BadajoZ, recently
reported taken by the Whites,
but the Reds position there
seems hopeless.
The men of General Frances
foreign legion are fighting g
stripped to the waist in the
scorching sun.
No doubt is attached to the
White announcement of the tax
ing of Tolosa, the key point to
the Red San Sebastian strong
hold.
40 Civilians Slain
The formerly gay seaside re-
sort is now haunted by terror,
and is reported to be cut off
from Irun. The Whites counted
40 civilian supporters in Tolosa
who were murdered by the Reds
before they retired.
From Palencia comes another
list of murders which the con-
servative Times Of London puts
at $50 a day. In ReinoSa the
Reds took by surprise 10 civil
guards commanded by a lieuten-
ant, herded them inside the town
councils assembly hall, and
moved them down with machine
guns.
In Corconce the Reds took
prisoner Don Justo Sanjurjo, son
of Spain's White general who was
recently killed in an air crash, to
the hospital at Reinosa, where he
asked for the last sacrament.
When the priest arrived from the
neighboring village Of Matamor-
osa, the Reds. according to the
White account, shot the priest and
Sanjurjo in the Sacramental act.
Reds shot 1874 civilians at Lora
Del Rio and 40 at BadajoS.
There is seldom a chance to
check such stories, but I have
judged the effect they have upon
the population under the White
regime, now including nearly
three-fourths of Spain.

SPAIN REVOLT
HELD WAR ON
ANARCHY
Famed Spanish Liberal
Says Madrid Has
Gone Insane
BY H. r. KNICKERBOCKER
Copyright 1898 by international
News Service)

EASTERN MILITARY HEAD
QUARTERS, SPANISH REBEL
ARMY, SALAMANCA, Aug. 13
(Delayed U.N.SO.-Madrid is
operating under the jolly Roger
and the world should know that
SPANS civil war is not a war be-
tween liberalism and FaScism, but
between civilization and literal
anarchy.
Professor Miguel De Unamuno
rector of Salamanca University
and Spain'S foremost scholar and
philosopher, made this declara-
tion in an interview with Inter
national News Service.
Professor Unamuno's state
ment may be expected to carry
more weight internationally than
all the declarations Of the military
leaders in SpainS patriotic move
ment.
This remarkable excoriation Of
the present regime in Madrid
comes from a man who is not
merely one among many republi-
cans but who led the fight
against monarchy and suffered
Imprisonment for his convictions,
afterwards helping found the gov
eminent which he now declares
has degenerated into a murderous
anarchy.
Denounces AZana
The aged professor, renowned
abroad for his classical studies,
humanitarian philosophy, and
fiction translated into a dozen
languages, was so fierce in his
denunciation of the Madri d
regime that he even suggested
that President Manuel Azana
should shoot himself as a pa
triotic act.
He was asked:
''Why have you abandoned
the Madrid government, which
you helped Greater"
His reply was:
Because Madrid and all It
represents have gone crazy
literally lunatic.
"ThiS fight Is not a fight
against . liberal Republic, it
