Orders Sent TO Madrid
Orders were sent Mt once from
London TO q. A. y. Ogilvie- FORBES
charge d'affaires OF the British en-
bassy at Madrid, TO present thu
appeal In e. names OF the British
and Frenc't governments TO the 10y
alist government, and O reply from
him was awaited anxiously.
II was understood that every ef-
fort was made TO preserve secrecy
concerning the action because OF
It's delicate nature and the likeli-
hood that IL would be rejected.
Official spokesman denied that
any appeal had been made.
Britain and France would like an
agreement which would both pre-
vent o slaughter that might enter
history as one Of the most awful Of
modern times, and save the city OF
Madrid itself from O fight that
might leave II In ruins.
30 worried were British officials
over the situation that II was un-
derstood foreign office attaches re-
NAMED on duty all night In hope
that q reply might come from Ogil-
VICTORIES.
100000 Died in War
Frances prompt response to the
British appeal was due In part, IT
was understood, TO receipt OF secret
reports from Its own diplomatic
and military intelligence services
that 100000 people have died In the
Civil War which started only 10
weeks ago today more men than
died In action or OF battle wounds
on both sides In the four years OF the
American Civil War. OF these 200,-
0b0 men, women and children who
have fallen under the fire OF Their
countrymen, the French reports said
that perhaps $4,000 died In actual
battle. The other 10000, II was
asserted, were killed In cold blood,
executed or died In prison. SPANS
monetary loss In the war was repre-
sented ut minimum OF about So
OO0, 600 900. There is no estimate OF
the total damage, including historic
buildings, priceless art treasures,
businesses.
TO Take Charge Of City
Advices from nationalist sources
tell of O coldly mapped out organ
ization that rs TO take charge
when" the city falls. Civil guards
men are TO take previously desig-
mated posts. Then when the city
has been subdued, when the ex-
pected fighting In the streets and
the hot-blooded killings S ended,
II Is expected that every man IN
the city will have 10 account for
himself. Nationalist leaders have
announced that they will Kill all
loyalist leaders caught. The ques-
ton is how far down the list OF
leadership the order will go, and
the extent Of the fight that individ-
ual militiamen will put up In the
city,s streets II the nationalist
enter.

slant fire, we're dropping shells into
the city and I was told unofficially
that the shells were landing IN the
Puerto Del Sol, the heart OF the
capital. From their front trenches
across an expanse Of less than -four
miles of scattered homes and small
fields, the nationalist troops looked
into the city streets. Fierce Moors
from Africa and foreign legion
MARES, the shock troops, were be-
coming FESTIVE, awaiting impatiently
the order to attack the city b.
storm. Loyalist artillery and a
fleet of nine loyalist airplanes raked
the front with fire, TO no effect.
Opposition Beaten OFF
Against whatever opposition was
offered, the nationalist troops under
the cool direction OF their officers
pushed out their firing lines from
Oetafe town - the second largest
airport OF Madrid - toward the
city. Today their trenches and
sandbag barricades were almost ~
Madrid and 1t was obvious that the
last phase OF the final drive fof
the capital had begun. From soutn

was completely invested: nationaii-
