In the Far East the greatest IN
terest centerS on China's reaction,
Will China now align herself with
Moscow as a means to help stem
Japanese inroadS on the continent?
Against the reported German
japanese alliance there also stands
in Europe a formidable system Of
ententes revolving around France,
which has an alliance with the
Soviet Union, with Poland, and
with the Little Entente.
Authentic word of an under
standing between Berlin and
Tokyo comes at a time when
bitter charges are being hurled
between Germany and Russia,
especially over opposed interests
in the Spanish civil war and when
a number of German citizens have
been placed under arrest in
Moscow.

Pact for Protection
The treaty is to be left open
for other nations to participate
if they wish, but primarily it is
believed to be an entente between
Germany. Communism's arch
enemy in the Occident, and
Japan, rival of the SovietS in
the Orient, for mutual assistance
in the event either is attacked.

Two Papers Suppressed
But several tangible factors
have combined to lend substance
to the authoritative information

are:

occurred for fear of mob violence.
Asks Tests Barred
Denhardt'S lawyer, Beckham

that the paraffin tests made on
the generals hands be revealed.

Insurgents Advance
The loyalist swoopS marked the
first major attempt by Madrid to
clip the wings of the insurgent air
arm, at present their most effective
weapon in the siege of Madrid.
Large numbers Of insurgents to-
day were moved up to advance
positions near the Toledo and
Segovia bridges after furious fight
ing, and to the Casa de Campo Sec
tor to back up the columns of Col.
Manuel CaStejon that are said oy
the insurgents to have occupied
part of the university city in Ma
drid'S northwest quarter.
This foretells another deter
mined insurgent land offensive,
military authorities here believe.
Insurgent radios asserted that
Madrid's dead in yesterdays fierce
battles along the Manzanares
totaled 1000.
Three Air Raids in Day
In three air raids over Madrid
Sunday, as many as 80 inSurgent
aircraft thundered over the city
at one time, dropping scores Of
large bombs, several of them hit
ting near the parliament build
ing, although the raids were cen
tered in the "four highways" dis
trict, a workers section, and other
parts Of northern and northwest
ern Madrid. Several of the bombs
burst near large groups, killing an
unofficially estimated 40 and
wounding 300.
Eleven loyalist planes battled
the invaders, and one craft on
each side was brought down.
Occupation of the University
City quarter, according to the
rebels, followed a feint over the
"Frenchmen's bridge" led by
three tanks. The loyalistS blew
up the bridge and captured the
tanks, but the revolutionar1es
forded the shallow, narrow Man
zanareS River and swarmed up its
banks into the city.

WITH THE WHITE ARMY IN
MADRID'S SUBURBS, Nov. 16.
Under a hailStorm of bullets and
shell-fire that smoked Madrid out
of sight, White troops fought their
way forward today and, according
to the official report, some got
across the ManZanareS River into
University City.
AS in previous instances, small
group of Whites forced their pas
sage across the river, perhaps not
to hold their ground, but to feel
out the enemy positions.
Tanks in Fight
TWenty-six white planes visited
the enemy lines, dropping bombs
which detonated like prolonged
thunder, raising clouds Of smoke
and earth and obscuring the sky.
Meanwhile Russian tanks, ,ap'
pearing in increasing numbers,
played a dramatic role.
One of the most sensational
incidents of the war occurred at
Villaverde when Russian tank
audaciously trundled into the
town occupied by white cavalry
who. naturally no match for a
tank, had to flee.
Whippet Takes Charge
In Villaverde the whites had
only one small whippet tank, like
wise no match for the big Russian,
but the whippet had a flame
thrower.
So, while the Russian tank
careened through the village, Ger.
tain daredevil cavalrymen from
behind fences threw cans of gaso-
line upon it.
The little whippet waited up an
alley until the big Russian tank
came by. Then the whippet
rushed out and poured its flame
thrower fire into the giant.
