 RARE FRESCOES
Paintings During Last ' Centuries Found By
 Italian Explorers

Brescia, Italy tUP) - Frescoes painted during the last seven cen- turies by scholars of the Brescian school arc being brought to light in the church of St. Francis of Brescia.
 The church, which was construct cd 260 years before the discovery of America, has been declared . national monument by the ministry of education.
 When built fin 1242, the walls of the church were nude of paintings. Attentive research work now was revealed that during each conse- cutive century Brescian painters gave proof of their ability with Q series of fine frescoes painted on the walls of the Franciscan Church.
 Among the frescoes the most inc portant from an artistic point of view is Q portrait of St. I'lisebeth, believed to have been painted by an unknown artist of the XIV cen- tury. The frail, slant-eyed kneeling saint Is painted in vivid colors and delecate lines. St. Elizabeth, daugh-

Following comment after a recent meeting of the Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce, strong rumors have been circulated about the Brooklyn section that members of the board, who have in the past been restricted to speaking only in the Lithuanian language ct meetings, will be per- mitted in the future to make any requests in English if they prefer. During the progress of Q meeting Monday night objection was raised that in addressing the gathering, John w. Stokes, 11iortician, voiced his sentiments on Q certain subject in Englist, which was followed with an interruption from the floor that everything spoken must be in Lith. uaniail or be declared out of order.
 The strongest attack which fol- lowed the Interruption was launched by Charles SlokuS, World war vet eran and national treasurer of the Lithuanian Legion, who favored in. dividual rights, defending Stokes and offering criticism of anyone who objected to English. Mir. Slokus

Talavera and Toledo. and between
Toledo and Madrid, offers few natural
obstacles. But time Is working for
the Loyalists despite the rebels better
discipline and equipment, because each
day that passes helps the governments
levies to get "blooded' and to add the
training and knowledge of war to their
undoubted enthusiasm. Here come in
what Bismarck called "the imponder-
ables" or the moral factor that counts
most in war. I have seen the enthu-
siasm which greeted the new govern
ment and the dense crowds frantically
cheering the departure of each group
Of reinforcements for the Talavera
front.
There is a shortage of milk, meat
and butter in Madrid because Of the
cutting of Of the northern dairy
country, and at first the eity's popula-
ton was startled by the air raids or,
rather, by the sirens which, like those
on New York ambulances, only loud
er and more mournful and more pro-
longed, announced coming air raids.
Then the people found that the air
raids did only trif1ing damage and
they reacted with furious anger. The
city's temper has hardened and today
there is no thought Of compromise
which, it is whispered, was entertained
by some members Of the former gov
ernment.

loyalists now have 10 or IL thousand
men in line with q fair supply of
artillery and armored cars and good
support from the Madrid military

Loyalists Learn Fast.

siasm and, though they have much to
learn, they are learning fast. Thus
orders are now being given against

squares or in narrow streets, such as

CHICAGO, September IL. The

The conference voted to join the

q desire to continue "any form of

TOULON. France, September IL
(By Wrieless) The struggle in Spain
has two things in common with the
civil wars Of China and Russia. 1t
Is fought with words more than with
bullets and there are score Of pris-
oners and non-combatants killed for
every soldier wounded.
Take, for instance, the scrap around
Talavera, which the rebel commu-
niques announced as "a decisive bat
tie for Madrid" The facts are these:
On September a rebel force 1000
strong suddenly attacked the center
Of the loyalist front between Talavera.
which is IS miles from Madrid, and
Oropesa, with considerable support
from airplanes. artillery and armored
cars. The Loyalists held the front"
which Is a series of machine gun posts
and rife pits. without barbed wire,
with about 1000 men, mostly devoid
Of military training or knowledge.
Under shell fire far less heavy than
a mornings average on a quiet sec
tor in France in the World War, the
Loyalist center became panic-stricken
and the wings followed it hastily IN
retreat. The Rebels occupied Tala-
vera without resistance. although the
town was not Ill prepared for defense,
and swept on across an undemolished
bridge over the River Tagus along
the road to Madrid to point IS
miles beyond Talavera, where they
halted breathleSS.

Meanwhile, the Moorish Blacka-

I talked with refugees and what they
said was dreadful-to their hearts
content. Irun fell the same morning
and the double-check forced Madrid
into replacing the puppet government
of Premier Giral by Largo Caballeros
outfit, which is much more representa-
tive of popular sentiment.
The first act of the new govern
ment was to appoint a general staff
hitherto lacking-with the mission of
establishing liaison. also lacking, be-
tween the different units at the
front.
Believe it or not, at 4 o'clock on
the morning of September 4, when
the new government was really
formed, no one in Madrid knew where
the enemy was on the Talavera front
despite frantic telephoning. But Ca

j. s. TRADE CUT
BY WAR IN SPAIN
Commerce Department Fig.
ures Show Decrease of
60 Per Cent.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The first picture of how the civil war
has cut into American trade with
Spain was drawn today in Commerce
Department statistics.
Coincidentally, in response to in
quiries, Shipping Board Bureau Of
hcials said that although no new steps
were being taken to discourage Amer
ican shipping to Spain the ship lines
''know our attitude" of support for the
country's neutrality program.
Earlier, the board had requested ship
lines in which the Government has a
financial interest not to carry cargoes
10 dangerous" Spanish ports.
The Spanish conflict started about
July 10, but for the month Of July the
department reported exports to Spain
totalled $l,014,000, compared with $2,-
662, 900 in June and 81, 2,626,00 in July,
1885. These figures represented de-
clines Of about 60 per cent and ran
counter to a general upturn in both
imports and exports to all countries.
Imports from Spain were listed at
$1,164 900 last July, $1,888, 900 in June
and $1,410,000 in July. 1885.
Department figures showed that
principal exports to Spain are unman-
ufactured cotton, gasoline, electrical
equipment and radio apparatus, motor
trucks and buses and automotive
parts for assembly. July figures were
not broken down, however, to show
whether exports Of war materials"
had increased.
Among the most important imports
are olives and olive oil, wine and goat
and kid skins
July statistics for other countries
showed an advance in trade with Can
ada and the United Kingdom over the
same month year ago.
Exports to South America increased,
but imports fell of. Increases were
listed in both classifications for Japan,
Germany and China.
Total imports for the month were
shown in earlier figures to have ex-
ceeded exports by s14.286,000. This
compared with a $3,4o1 900 excess of
imports for the same month year ago.

warned against increased taxes and
urged the Commissioners to continue
their campaign for a larger Federal

Ray H. Everett, secretary of the

struction of two new health centers,
at a cost of s250,O00 each, as re-

treatment of social diseases would

ber of cases Of insanity sent to ST.
