forced back the $50 firemen who
battled for more than five hours.
Several firemen were injured,
but there was no loss Of life,
though the flames perilously ap-
preached the towers which were
in constant danger Of toppling.
Householders on the surround

as sparks scared for two miles,
and all water was cut off during
the firemen'S fight. Dynamite

Worried Over Opposition
Indications today were that
King Edward is becoming increas-
ingly concerned over opposition to
his forthcoming marriage, and as
a result is now considering the pos.
sibility Of informing the public Of
his romance and his desire to wed
the attractive American matron.
Meanwhile the romance neared
the stage of parliamentary
debate today as the government
considered passage Of a bill pre-
venting his marriage to anyone
without specific consent Of the
privv council.
The King, it was learned in well.
informed parliamentary circles,
has been asked to reconsider his
decision to marry the American
matron. and was informed Of cabi-
net and parliamentary opposition
to his plans in this regard.
Might Bring Crisis
Unless King Edward gives assur-
ance he will forego the contem-
plated marriage, it was learned,
the government may endeavor to
rush a bill through Parliament
compelling him to abide by deci-
Sions of the privy council.
If passed, such a bill would
naturally come up for the royal
assent, which King Edward might
refuse. In such an event, the
Baldwin government would be
compelled to resign. Clement
Atlee, labor leader, has agreed to
the bill, but might decline to form
a new government.
Ritual at Stake

Stanley Baldwin has felt itself
compelled to take Q stand in the

then attacked, line after line Of
the assault guards and n1ilitiamen
rushing into the battered i1sur-
gent strongholdS.
Wildly desperate fighting In
which the immediate fate of
Madrid may be locked is now
under way, the whole city shaking
in the blasts of an engagement
that must be taking scores of lives.
The rebel night offensive, de-
scribed by some insurgent leaders
as the ng-awaited concerted,
decisive attack" failed, and the
pendulum Of the conflict swung
again in favor of the leftists.
Heavy shelling of the loyalist
positions at II p. m. last night
signalized the beginning Of the in.
surrectors' push. Relentlessly the
bombardment continued, puffs Of
smoke and flame rising in the
moonlight, while million Madril-
enians covered in subway stations
and cellars.
Buildings all over town vi
brated. The American Embassy,
where this correspondent and
many others spent a wide-eyed
night, shook as in an earthquake.
Two hours after the artillery
inferno began, insurgent aircraft
hummed over the loyalist front
lines, moving the trenches with
machine guns and bombing 10y
alist concentrations.
Another insurgent air raid fol-
lowed at 3 a. m. and the third
just before dawn.
In spite of their nightlong suf-
fering, the loyalist militiamen de-
cided on a surprise counter-offen-
sive, beginning with terrific artil-
lery barrages just before sun-up.
Frightened residents, thinking
this was an insurgent assault max
ing deeper inroads into Madrid,
blocked to the war ministry, where
an official spokesman told them:
eve are cOunter.attacking to
punish the enemy. Our artillery
is superior to theirs, and is in.
flicting heavy losses on the in
SurgentS.
General Kleber Commander
Of the international brigadel
and his men are Splendidly con-
tributing to the success Of the
cOunter.attack."
This attack is counted on to
drive the insurgents entirely out
Of Madrid, after a furious insur-
gent attempt to take and hold the
village of Pozuelo, six miles north
west of Madrid, had failed.
Widespread successes on all
Spain's far-flung fronts were
claimed by the government, while
in retaliation against insurgent
air raids, six loyalist bombers flew
100 miles to the important railway
junction point of Salamanca, dam
aging the chief airport and rail
road station.
The loyalist rear column, Mad.
rid announced, captured Andover
and La Alameda below Toledo
"and are within striking distance
of Toledo, which could be easily
reached, but is not our immediate
objective" A government sortie
from Bilbao advanced several
miles to the southwest. Madrid
claimed progress in the Huesca
sector, west Of Catalonia.

The next morning Mrs. Withers and
her daughter called on James Ryan,

MIR. Butler. Satisfied, MIR. Ryan sent
Jane to MIR. Butler. The director re-

The words are strangely ominous
