She was granted the right to build
submarines equal to as per cent
of England's, and there also was
clause that she could build up

England after notifying London
of her intention to do so.
One of Germany's principal OBJ
jections was that the Anglo Rus-

navy to construct seven cruisers

sidered this as upsetting naval
equilibrium in the Baltic, and con-
trarv to the Anglo-French treaty
of last March, which called for a
naval holiday on heavy cruisers.
This concession was made by
Britain to Russia because other
powers already possess heavy

CAPITAL DEFENSE IS
IN DESPERATE STAGE

GIBRALTAR, Oct. IL. (UP)--
Spanish Loyalists today resorted
to a mass cOunter-offensive all
along the line west Of Madrid in
desperate attempt to stop the
Rebels drive toward the capital.
Militiamen supply trains are
reinforcing the lines and the or
der to attack is expected at any
time. Insurgents indicated that
their men were resting and con-
solidating their positions after a
victorious attack, giving them
Navalperal, San Martin and other
important intervening towns.
These forces awaited the order
to advance again northward, but
there were increasing indications
the capital would be made from
that the next onslaught against
the west front of Madrid.
Copyright 1886 by United Press)
MADRID, Oct. Is. (UP)-Goy-
eminent leaders decided today TO
unleash on the front west of Ma
drid a mass counter-offensive
whose stake may prove to be the
capital itself.
A. tour of the battle front by
Premier Francisco Largo Cabal-
Zero resulted in the decision to
attack the insurgents all along
30-mile front extending from
northward Of Navalperal de Pin
ares to southwark of San Martin
de Valdeigesias.
A rout Of the Loyalist forces
would start the insurgents on y
new plunge forward which could
hardly end short of the gates Of
Madrid.
Accompanying the men were
many thousand Of women who,
realizing that the nationalists
were almost within sight of Ma
drid, modified spontaneously to
provide a scene perhaps unique in
WOueTH warfare.
They were not the laughing,
earefree girls who joined the mil
tia in the early days of the war,
but mothers of families who left
their firesides, obtained arms Of
any sort they could, and with
their husbands marched out
through the fast rising city for
tifications toward the front.
1t was pitiful to see the wo-
men going out with their i'll
trained militiamen husbands to
meet trained soldiers, Moors, for
eign DICTIONARIES and regulars.
For every woman who went to
the front, there were many who
remained behind at home, at work
on warm clothing for the men in
the fighting lines.
Cold, heavy rain and fog on
level ground, snow in the noun
tains, made front service an Or
deal.
The ministry of interior today
ordered seizure of blankets, mat
tresses and overcoats from home
Of all persons who are voluntarily
in rebel zones or who have fed
abroad since the war started. 1t
was further decreed that the au-
thorities might requisition so per
cent of all mattresses and blank
cts in excess of an authorized al
lotment of one mattress and two
blankets for each person In the
capital.
News that the west-Madrid Of
fensive had started was expected
at any hour.
