LOYALISTS HARD PRESSED.

tCopyrigh, 1896. by the Associated Press)
MADRID, October 7.-Shivering So
cialist defenders fought bitterly today
to block a concerted drive by Fascist
insurgents along crumbling defense
lines west of Madrid.
Blue with cold, the harasSed gov
'ernnent troops engaged insurgents
in vicious encounters unaware of
Fascist artillery flanking movement
south of Navalperal which might
squeeze them between two attacking
forces.
unceasing attacks In the sectors
around Avila, at the top of the west
ern government line, and near Santa
Cruz Del Retamar, on the Maqueda-
Madrid highway, prevented the wearied
Socialists from gaining much-needed
rest.
Cold, as we'll as steel, brought new
hardships for the defenders as they
gathered motley collection of civilian
topcoats, blankets and towels for pro-
tection against biting winds.
The militia held stubbornly to Its
Positions, despite the disadvantages

NAME. PLEASE.

After all Susan B. Anthony was a
prominent nineteenth century femin-
ist leader, an exceedingly serious wom-
an. and Anthony Adverse is a fic-
titious character of an earlier day
high-living sort without a purpose
in the world, as far as We could make
out, except meeting lot of nice peo-
pie and going lots Of places. We do
not believe that Susan and Anthony,
had it been possible for them TO meet,
would have had thing in common.
And yet the Post Office Department
reports that a philatelist. whose name
it refuses to disclose, has ordered 300
Anthony Adverse stamps. The de-
partment, after some hesitation. sent
him 300 Susan B. Anthony stamps.
No protest has been received.

This end of the fifth day OF my fascl-

world found me in Alexandra yester-
day
At Athens Monday night I had
6eNhtful dinner as guest OF the
Feuina Club and stayed up late, Vls-
itine the Acropolis and the Odeon.
There was much excitement in Athens
when an editor was injured in his
newspaper office. The police refused
to act, while Dictator Metaxas held
an soficial dinner, with detectives
swarming all around. in the Hotel
Grapde Bretagne, where I stopped.
Flight Across Mediterranean.
Z left at dawn on an interesting
fight across the Mediterranean. The
pilot took off quickly and landed two
hours later at Mirabelos, Crete, to re-
fuel. We had tea aboard the former
yacht Imperial, now used as an on
shore station of Imperial Airways.
There We met the passengers of two
planes similar to our own which were
bound for Athens from Alexandria.
We were off in half an hour over
the mountainous island where, accord
ing to legend, Icarus and Daedalus
made the first fight and met disaster
in fleeing Minos after building the
labyrinth where Minos imprisoned
them.
We landed early in the afternoon in
Alexandria, a beautiful, colorful city.
TIE people were very hospitable and
interested in the 'round-the- world
dash.
Few Native Stores.
I drove through the city and found
much that was interesting There were
very few purely native stores, how

mier with successor upon his death.
II Duce bears the double title of
"Capo del Governo Primo Minis
tro" (head of the government and
prime minister) as well as ''Duce del
Fascismo" Ceader of the Fascist
party. Political circles declared he
can separate the first official designa-
tions and give the second of these to
another without affecting his real
position.
Another important change was re-
ported under consideration to consoli-
date more closely the Fascist party
with the internal government. This
involved appointment of Fascist
commissioner to govern the provinces
under the direct jurisdiction of the
ministry Of interior.
Official circles predicted the secre-
tary Of the Fascist party-now Achille
Starace-would be made either min
lister of the interior If Mussolini re-
linquished the post or named under
secretary.
Count Ciano. who married the
premiers daughter, has had wide ex-
perience in Italian governmental posi-
tions. Although he is only 80 years
old. he has held important posts, in
cluding the ministership of propa-
ganda, before he became foreign
minister.
His admirers cite these qualities:
A good personality, ease in making
friends, excellent knowledge of
languages, widely travelled and a good
appearance.
Since his return from the Italo-
Ethiopian war, where he won a silver
medal for leading the desperate"
air bombing squadron. he has appeared
widely before the public and made
many speeches.
Fascist circles pointed out these
activities resemble those Of his father
in-law.

'\HE lucKleSL man IN the WOrlQ
has jusG been called to our
attention.
He's a newspaper man who
used to work in China for a press as
sociation. During that time the re-
porters wife went to her home in Con-
necticut for visit and eventually
cabled him that she would like him
to come to the United States for a
conference.-the for one had had
enough of the Orient.
Being the impulsive type, the young
man put on his hat, walked out Of
his Office and left on q boat sailing
that day. Arriving In New York he
went to the main Office of his associa-
ton to explain, considering himself
long since fired. He was greeted with
much shoulder slapping from his boss.
Nice work." exclaimed the boss,
leaving SO promptly. 1 hope my
cable didn't inconvenience you, Here's
the check reimbursing you for your
transportation and expenses"
The day the reporter left China a

doesn't know about the manner in
which they rewarded their reporter
for walking out on them.
