MADRID, November 19.-Relentless
Fascist aerial punishment" spread
new and untold death and damage
through Madrid today.
The explosions of at least score of
huge bombs in the black, early morn
ing hours claimed a toll estimated as
high as 80 dead and 200 injured.
But defense authorities, declaring
the victims of two weeks Of intense
bombing and shelling had reached
thousands" said the real toll may
never be known, since dozens we're
buried deep under charred and smok-
ing wreckage.
They declared many" refugees Of
Tuesdays bombardment, huddled in
the Puerto del Sol Subway Station In
the heart of Madrid had been asphyx-
lated when one bomb blocked the Car
men street entrance and another,
landing at the Alcala street end of the
platform, filled the station with dense
and acrid fumes.
Telephone Building Bombed.
The projectile was not q gas bomb,
however, the officials asserted.
A squadron of insurgent bombers,
appearing over the city early this
morning, spilled most of their bombs
in the vicinity of the telephone build
ing, nerve center of Madrid's commune
cation with the outside world.
However, the building was not hit.
(Fascist sources said their artil-
lery had been wheeled across the
Manzanares River into Madrid
proper.
(The big guns, it was said, would
! be used to check government shell
ing, which has made 1t necessary
to remove insurgent wounded in
armored cars and tanks through
the bombarded Casa de Campo
sector.
Ut was officially stated the stiff
defense Of Madrid was due to the
presence of foreigners" in the
government ranks. This resistance,
it was stated, prompted Gen. Fran
cisco FRANCOIS decision to throw
the full strength of his artillery
and aviation forces against the
capital.)
In the early morning sunlight Ma
drid's broad Gran Via was a scene of
ghastly devastation.
The pavement was covered with
broken glass and splinters of wood and
stone.
Most of the windows on the Fuen-
earral side Of the telephone building

Horoscope "'The stars incline
 but do not compel'
WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER II, 1es

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER II, 1886
 According to astrology, this should be lucky day. Benefic aspects dominate, especially in the after noon and evening.
 This is a sway especially fortunate for women, who will benefit in all social contacts. Girls will probably find that romance will attend them in work as well as play
 Weddings under this rule of the stars should be most happy in long and prosperous partnership. Mar riages will be numerous in the early winter when an unusual number of middle -aged women will be sought as brides.
 This should be a successful date for women to seek employment. rThe stars encourage in business the sort of good feeling that assures enlargement of operating staffs.
 For men in authority the best pos sible forecasts are made. While there will be surprising problems, financial and otherwise, the win ter will be memorable for money making.
 Uranus is in a place read as indi- eating mental instability and lack of logic. Propaganda of many sorts will be eagerly accepted through the coming winter.
 Future months are to develop startling chapters in world history The seers urge both men and wo- men to cultivate poise of mind and strength of body.
 Appeals believed to encourage revolutionary tendencies will affect Rumania, Poland and other Eur opean countries.
 Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of year of good for tune. Unexpected good luck will come to many and others will enjoy added holidays.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be of sanguine nature and keen minds. Subjects of this sign gain fame through extraordinary mental gifts.
 Maude Adams, actress, was born on this day 1872 Others who have celebrated it is a birthday include David l. Walsh, Senator, 1872; Anna E. Green Rohlfs, writer, 1846; Thom- as Bailey Aldrich poet, 1886

EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER

At Il o'clock tomorrow morning it will be just IS years since that miraculous, unbelievable moment when silence fell at last on the Western front The eighteenth anniversary of the Armistice would be notable if only because it rounds out nearly two decades of peace which the heroic armies battled to establish Actually, it to have far deeper significance all the chief pillars upon which the postwar system designed to are seen today to be simultaneously crumbling in their collapse.
 Territorial revision, disarmament reparation and a League of Natons-these four heads expressed the passionate, if vaguely formulated aspirations of the fighting people as they became the chief elements of the peace structure which was raised to enshrine their victory Territorial revisions of 1919 so far have stood but reganing its lost colonies spread ing its domain again is the avowed purpose of Ger many today. Disarmament has come to mean just the opposite. Great machines are rising in all countries and for self preservation we are enlargng our own forces The war-debt reparation system is in entire collapse and the League of Nations to be looked upon the League of Notions as Japan and Germany have withdrawn and Italy threatens
 It might easily be concluded that the war was fought in vain, but optimism from the parallels of history may well apply in this instance. The changes in which the peace settlements of 1915 1865 came to their end did not represent breakdowns of unavoidable adjustments; rather they recorded pro- found shifts in underlying social and economic con- dtions. imposing conditions under which the old ad- Justfnents even though good in their time were no longer useful. It not with despair and regret that the generations which after looked back upon Metternich or Thad Stevens it with superior scorn ana intense satisfaction that they had escaped from what seemed to them only the blind errors of those statesmen.
 50 It IS most probable to happen in this case as the world almost vsiby turns into whole new phase or its history The eighteen years since the Armstice have unquestionably witnessed much dsusion and many hopes deferred but that is perhaps because the sufferngs and sacrifices of great wars are too oeepy rooted Tor the full fruits to be quickly gathered or the full reward at to be plainly seen

PAA REPORTS
 BIG INCREASE
 IN AIR TRAVEL

Heavy air travel from the Interior. as reslt of the shipping strike was brought out in a report of recent op- erations made pi,5iic by the Pacific Alaska Airways In Juneau today. According to the report. in the month between October and Mo- vember 9, no passengers travelled between Fairbanks and Juneau in the twin-motored Lockneed Electra air liners operated on regular sched- ule by the Pacific Alaska Airways, Inc. Fifty of these passens sers made the flight between November 5 and g, taking advantage of the only scheduled transportation still oper- ating to accommodate passengers from Interior Alaska. Alter the maritime strike had started, connec- tion was made at Juneau with Canadian Pacific boat which had special trip to accommodate out going passengers.
 Many of the outgoing passengers came from Nome and points on the Yukon and KuskokWim Rivers. These passengers were mostly busy at their mining operations until after the strike was started. They expressed sincere appreciation of a service which enabled them to get outside without delay to attend to the many details which must be handled outside during the winter in order to keep their mining opera tions moving the rest of the year, the report said.
 Over year of scheduled opera tiions between Nome, the Kusko- kWim, Fairbanks and Juneau by Pa cific Alaska Airways, with trips be- ing made regularly whether there was one passenger or a full load, have provided speedy handling of this peak load of passengers, the Airways reported.

Dry Football
(New York World TelegramD


 In symbolic gesture of frisking the coonskin coats for hip flaSks President Harold w. Dodds of Princeton University has requested all ticket holders that they leave their liquor behind when coming to Princeton football games.
 Many football enthusiast will remember back stayed through to the final whistle regardless wind loaded with sharp ice and the tempera ture reaching down for How to stand it without drink? President Dodds is virtually saying Let them eat ice cream cones'
 But on the other hand the universities are entitled to sympathy too for there have been plenty of football crowds to whom tearing up the goal posts was merely start What is the university to do with it's alumni, Hooking back by thousands to the big homecoming, whooping it up in search of their youth and shouting the blessings of higher education to the farthest stars?
 So long as the universities willing to furnish the big seasonal athletic excitement after baseball money, the problem of football crowds is likely to be more practical than academic. Dr. Dodds showed he was practical man by merely uttering a request" He isn't going in for prohibition. Perhaps the next step may be to take the profits of a good season and air-condtion the stands against Novem- Der cold
 Otherwise the second-string football players might be organized into flying wedge like the walters at Jacks to give obstreperous spectators the bums rush We hope sweet reasonableness will prevent it's going that far.

MIR. HEARST ON THE ELECTION

The following is the editorial comment of i ew York American, owned by William Randol earst New Deal opponent following the electio
 The reelection of Franklin D. Roosevelt as President of the United States reflects the present wish of the American people
 Acceptance of this verdict becomes an immediate obligation upon those who have counselled another course
 The victory presents new opportunities to MT Roosevelt, and puts new responsibilities upon him.
 He cannot be insensibe to the fact that millions of his countrymen are not in accord with all he has done in the past
 It IS the duty of MT Roosevelt to be the Fresldent of these diSsenters in as full a meas ufe as he IS the President of those who do not question the wisdom of his past course
 MT Roosevelt gave full recognition to that duty Tn his final message of the campaign at Hyde Park. This is the true American spirit. That Is the sincere sentiment of MT Roosevelt there IS no occasion now to doubt
 The Hearst newspapers, which opposed the reelection of MT. Roosevelt because of acts of hls past administration with which they could not agree LOOK hopefully for an administration III ms second term more nearly in accord with their conception of good government
 II MT. Roosevelt is a good President if he IS Democratic President, the Hearst news i'NPei" "4ii SuPPoiC inn aBaln as they aid at the start of his first administration
 Ii he adheres to constitutional government he will have the support of the Hearst publi- cations.
 The Hearst press sincerely hopes his poli- cles Ill the future will be shaped in the interest Of the nation, that he will have the guidance of wise counsel, and that the necessity of talk ing issue with him again will not arise.
 Essential to happy future for America now is the ability of MT. Roosevelt to be a truly American President. and the willingness of his opponents to hold further appraisal of him in abeyance.

A Creditor Nation?
Cincinnati Enquirer)

It falls to the lot of bureau in the Department of Commerce to total up the statistics of foreign trade and tiona lending and then to decide how the American balance sheet reads. Using the methods generally accepted in the last few decades Secretary Roper and his aids have digested the statistics of 1855 and find that we creditor nation by many billions of dollars That is much less abroad than is owing to from foreigners.
 Such conclusion will not surprise many persons for 1t is recognized that with the World War the United States left the ranks of debtor nations and became creditor on vast scale Nothing has hap pened to change the position greatly, although some of assets abroad have evaporaed and foreigners have invested heavily in American securities
 But although this is taken as a matter of course by most persons, MT. Francis P Garvan, head of the Chemical Foundation, is startled and shocked For the figures show plainly, according MT Garvan that this country actually than it has com ing to it on foreign account. Whatever happened in the War, MT. Garvan concludes we are today debtors and should recognize it. He uses much the same figures that MT. Roper uses, but he comes out with an altogether different conclusion.
 The quarrel need not trouble us very much for the Governments figures in this case are borne out stout advocate of extremely high tariffs and wants to see an America self-contaned" as possible It serves his purpose to emphasize debts rather than our credits, for creditor nation needs lower tariffs, it would ever collect the money owing to it.
 The preponderance of opinion justifies the belief that the countryS position that of creditor This in turn justifies the orderly downward revision of tariffs not to establish free trade" but to make possible the larger exchange of goods with foreign countries which future prosperity depends in great degree.
