 Rebel. Gen. Directs Attack
 Gen. Emilio Mola, commander in chief of all rebel northern armies, established field headquarters at Vera. three miles from the French frontier, to direct the attack.
 All morning the rebel artillery accurate for the first time, and ob- viously directed by eXperts-blasted away at loyalist machine gun nests concealed in the hills.
 It was apparent that the fire did not silence the machine guns, and that the loyalistS were holding all their positions. But they were under a terrific strain.
 The fire was heavy, in contrast to recent days in which the rebels made no serious attack.
 One of the rebel shells today fell in France, near the Behobie road.
