City Mass Of Ruins.
-Four armored cars, camouflaged
with tree branches. rumbled out of

ment forces from q few isolated
trenches in fields near the city.
Irun was q desolate mass of ruins
The largest hotel and several con-
vents were among the buildings de-
stroyed by fire. The walls OF most
houses were still standing. but the in
teriors were completely burned out.
Bodies lay everywhere on streets lead
ing to the international bridge.
The victorious rebels sang their vic
tory songs as they strove amid wreck
age and fallen masonry.
Chickens squawked and ran wildly
over debris and dead bodies.
Help Selves to Food.
The rebels helped themselves to
timed food left in the wrecked cafes
The rebel columns which attacked
the bridgehead numbered about 300
and were made up mostly Of young
men l8 to IS years old. They were
armed with shotguns, rifles ahd knives
and wore several days growth of

rected the attack on the bridgehead

solidate its newly won positions at

defenders were believed to have q
munitions dump and several large

SURVIVAL.

SURVIVAL.
GEORGE WASHINGTON was born
on solemn Friday in the month
Of February in the year 1732. If you
add 200 years to that, you get the
date 1882.
Being fairly sure Of these elemental
facts, an operative was startled the
other day to discover still in the
telephone directory In cold type the
George Washington Bicentennial
Commission.
Impelled to investigate, he called
up. He got only husky voice which
announced that it was the "Commis-
sion on the Constitution" Under
questioning, it said that the manager
of the George Washington Bicenten-
nial Commission would be In at 10
O'Clock tomorrow" Next day our
operative rang again. The same little
ceremony was repeated that day and
for the next three days. with like
lack of enlightenment.
The day after that came the
capture. The cool voice of a lady
said that 1t was connected with the
commission and could inform. It
assured him that the commission was
sure-enough still in existence.
What does 1t do?" asked cur on.
VERY little now" the voice con-
fessed, and our operative could get
nothing more.

International span and laid down a
scathing rain of machine gun fire on
the bridgehead.
Government militiamen beat hasty
retreat, carrying with them supplies
Of ammunition they had received
earlier from Barcelona.
The rebel attack came under cover
Of heavy artillery fire from Fascist
field guns. Bending low to avoid
snipers. -Carlist recruits converged on
the bridge from two directions down
the streets through the fame-seared
city and through cornfields along the
outskirts.
Meet on Spanish Side.
The two forces met on the Spanish
side in sharp hand-to-hand fighting.
Superior numbers gave the rebels the
advantage and they swarmed onto the
bridge, sweeping the government de-
tenders before them.
Three of the Socialist forces, who
had held the approach throughout the
night, we're left dead at the scene of
the fighting together with five
wounded. Thirty-five more fed across
the 10O-foot river to safety on French
territory.
Ten anarchists. who had joined the
militiamen in the bloody defense of
the bridge, died in the hail of bullets.
Several rebel shells fell near the
French customs house at Hendaye.
and others blew houses on the Irun
side to bits.
The battle started when 200 Social
lists, who had 1led before q fierce rebel
attack yesterday. returned to seize the
Spanish approach to the bridge.
Driven From City.
Hundreds of others crossed the Bid
assoa River In boats to Fuenterr Abba
and converged on Irun before the reb-
els consolidated their positions In the
war-torn city from which they had
been driven by flames.
An international convention be-
tween France and Spain. by which the
Spanish use the railroad from Barce-
Iona through Hendaye. permitted de-
livery Of the munitions to the gov
ernment. Spain, itself. does not
operate q parallel line in the northern
section.
Additional rebel troops arrived
from the concentration point at
Pamplona to reinforce the harassed
Fascists struggling to maintain their
positions In the shell-scarred city.
Billowing flames had driven the
triumphant rebel forces from Irun
during the night. On the outskirts
the Fascists danced and sang to cele-
brate their bloody victory over gov
ernment militia.
The persistent government troops
were safe for the moment as the rebels
returned ito the corpse-strewn and
blood-spattered streets behind waves
Of soaring flame.
Westward along the coast govern
ment leaders assembled their scat
tered forces. Artillery at Fort Gaude-
lupe was moved to defense positions
before San Sebastian.
Fuenterrabia, fortified government
outpost and haven for foreign diplo-
mats during early weeks Of fighting,
was deserted.
The fate Of Fascist hostages held
BY government defenders In Irun be-
fore the fall Of the city remained
in doubt. Fleeing militiamen who
escaped the fury Of the rebel drive
brought reports that nearly 100 of
the war prisoners had been executed.
Other hostages were carried along
with the retresting government troops
to San Sebastian, the escaped militia
men asserted.
Roads and highways down the coast
were wrecked and pitted by dynamite
and artillery shells. Retiring govern
