 Toledo is stronghold of feudal- ism, of monarchism, of Catholicism. The reformist movements of the last century have passed 1t by. A week ago 1t was Q museum. Its cathedral is one of the wonders of European architecture, equal to any of the great French churches. Its past grandeur, as the capital of Spain during its period of world dominion, is reflected in the enor- nous four lowered Alcazar. Its house where Fl 0reeo-whose view of Toledo hangs in the Metropoli- tan Museum in New York-and Cervantes and Lope De Vega passed their leisure hours was guarded more carefully than some cities guard their banks. Its carefully con- trolled industry was centered in the making of ornaments, of habits for priests and army officers, and of bullets.

 zNfrfd, July 27--(UP)-The gov- ofnmont has put the rebels on the Mafensive and is Gmashing forward 9n nll fronts.
 A careful, impartial analysis Of re- portB from all sources including rebel ones, left no doubt that as 1elltlng resumed at dawn teddy the government had the initiative and tile rebels must reverse the present eFsaId if they hoped to win.
 Government airplanes hurled . Kaan of bombs on Zaragoza, rebel saE0nRhold in the northeast; on Lo- RF1nO, in the heart of the north- eEn rebel country; on Cordoba and Seville, rebel key positions in the 1ar south, on Ceuta and Melilla, chief ports of rebel-held Morocco.
 Govt. Forces Advance
 Government forces advanced naEtnWard through the ouadarroma m0untains where the rebels hoped 60 break through to Madrid. 0ov- ernment forces advanced on Zar- aenza by road to storm 1t. Govern nient forces moved on Seville and Cordoba. Communication was re- opened between the Madrid area and the rich loyal provinces to the south and east. Rebels admitted re- verses in the duadarranaS, c defeat e Caspe, between the east coast and zaragoEa, by . government force advancing on ZaragoZa, and dan- gsFOus Ioyaiists concentrations on 0viedo, the strongest rebel position Gn the northern coast. They are building their main hopes still on tho arrival of c rebel column from the far south, which according to their plans was to attack Madrid an cooperation with the northern army. But there is still no sign that there is any such column, now sup. posed to have been enFoute to the north for seven day.
 Rebels Not Crushed
 The reports of government gains do not mean that the government has crushed the rebels, but that for the president at least 1t is on c strong, confident offensive. Suf. xiCient spaniards have fallen under Gpaish bullet, bomb and artillery ailell in scores of fights to insure that the hatred reused will flame for months if not for years; that vengeance will be taken by the win. xlers. Jatls were filled to overflow ing with losers of the left wing re. bellion of October, 1884; 1t seemed certain that ew cemeteries would be filled with the losers of this one. Three United Press Staff cores. pcndents and two special correGpon. dents confirmed personally at the 0uadarFama mountain front, the completeneSs of the government vic. tory there.
 Dig Entrenchmcnts
 Now, while shock troops advance into rebel country, those left behind are digging entrenchmets and erecting barbed wire obstructions in Che mountain passes against Q pos. slb!e new rebel offensive. Gen. Jose RiQuelme, director general of pub- lie security, has assumed supreme command of the loyalist forces in the Quadarramas. He is understood to have told the government, in an analysis of the tactical position, that he believes he can sweep these vitaily important mountains free of rebels within 48 hours. The new aerial bombardment of zaragoza, Logrono, Cordoba, Seville, Melilla and Ceuta was announced laconi- cally as effective" It was added parenthetically that damage to Meiilla and Ceuta was believed ir- Feparable.

Arranglng For Train

Arranging For Train
 In his latest report Wendelin in. formed the state department he is "endeavoring to arrange for the evacuation of Americans by train, if oen can be obtained, to Valencia, depending on guarantees from the Spanish government regarding safety of the railway line and train and having troops to gaurd the train" The state department an- Ilounced that If Mir. Wendelin is able to arrange for 6 train under these conditions, he will notify Americans of the availability of this means of transportation ct their own responsibility to Valencia" !" Wendelin reported the embassy also is giving protection to nationals of Panama and Cuba. He said Atig- trians are without protection, but that he will do what is possible to help them.
 Bitter Fighting Going On
 Reports of the progress of rebels north of the city were Tiieager. "There iS bitter fighting on the other side of the Inauntains but 1t is believed in Madrid that no proc gresS has been made by the rebels" Wendelin said. Ofilciais here ex- pressed grave concern for safety of Americans if tho rebels succeed in breaking through to Madrid. The embassy, on Cagtellana boulevard, principal thoroughfare leading from the city to the mountains probably would Do caught between tho, two armies.
 Officials will feel much better when the Americans now in Madrid reach . seaport where they can be picked up by American warships or other vessels. They are the last group of U. g. nationals remaining in Spain, most Americans who wish- cd to leave having been evacuated from seacoast cities and towns.
 The American summer embassy has been moved from San Sebastian summer capital of Spain, to Fuen- terrabia, seacoast hamlet i've miles closer to the Franco-S Spanish border where Ambassador Claude c. Bow CTS has his summer villa.

 An offlcai statement asserted that people of the province of Avila, ad- polning Madrid province on the west, had risen against rebels there and that the rebel fighting men, is- plated at Avila city, were expected to surrender soon. The ministry of interior asserted that peasants were joining the column marching vest ward on Zaragoza from Catalonia and that, while armed peasants sur- rounded Cordoba m the south, 6 strong loyalist column was being organized ct albacete-wrested from the rebels Saturday-to attack Cor doba in Mass. Government forces hope today, 1t was announced, to cut off electric power from Seville and Cadis in an effort to cripple the rebels in the far south. From the Guadarramas, Gen. Riquelme has started a general offensive against the rebel northern army of Gen. Emilio Mola. The government has strengthened its defensive position materially by bringing up artilelry batteries to new won peaks and passes; at the same time Riquelme has sent picked men northward to harass the rebels on the main highways.
 Claim To Be Masters
 Premier Jose 0iral Pereira, in an interview with the United Press, said as the loyalist advance got under way:
 we are masters of the whole coast line now, except at Corunna on the northwest coast and Cadiz on the southwest coast. The fleet has been enthusiastic in our support since the first and is keeping rebels from seriously reinforcing their army in the south. The air force as well supports Us. The danger of c siege of Madrid has passed.
 "The rebels now possess only in. termediate zones, in which they are besieged and are unable to obtain food, munitions or fuel. The gaso- line supply is in our hands. We are receiving 100000 cartridges Q day from Toledo, and gun powder from Murcia.
 "As for the future, we must reor. ganize the army, including in It ln some way the workers militia. Our policy will Do based on strengthen ing the left wing popular front"
 Just Returned From Front
 dlral Pereira when he talked had just returned from the duadarrama front. While he was there he re- ceived reports of aviators who were bombing rebel machcine gun nests planted in sheltered peaks positions. He was enthusiastic at the morale of his men-and women, for women arc there, too, and fighting.
 Realization by the government that there is unlikely to be any clar- ification of the national situation within several days was shown to- day when the emergency debt mor- atorium and stock market vacation was prolonged until next Monday,
 While tho government troops ats tackled at the important points, there were other fights and prepar- ations for fights in less publiciSed regions. '
 Reports both to the government and to rebel general headquarters tell of an army of thousands of armed peasants which has sur- rounded Oviedo, the important in- dustrial city in the north, and has given the rebels c 24-hour uitimat- expires today-to sur. render.

 No Immediate Danger
 Although crowded and with but c limited supply of food and water, Americans in the embassy are re- ported in no immediate danger. The city is quiet, Wendelin reported. Food is ample for two weeks. An emergency water supply has been stored. Secretary of Hkate Cordell Hull and other officials are keeping in constant touch with Wendelin by trans-Atlantic telephone. It was feared rebels may cut telephone lines at any time. Almost hourly rec ports from Wendelin indicate the brewing tension at the embassy. The like cats ct a mouse hole. There seems no way out for the rebels. They are overwhelmingly outnum- bered and their only hope lies in relief from the northern or southern armies, now on the defensive.
 No Pity for Adults
 Leaders of the left front militia say they have no pity whatsoever for any adult inside the Alcazar be- cause of the terrible fighting that took place in the streets before the fascists retreated to the fortress. They say they class the priests and nuns with the fighting rebels be- cause the militiamen were fired on from churches and convents.
 It is only because of the presence of children and civilian women, the loyalists say, that they have not attacked.
 Government airplanes are drop- ping hand bills inside the walls, urge ing the defenders to surrender uri- der threat of bombing. Thlg advice is being ignored either through con- tempt or because the rebels hope still that armies from outside will capture the city.
 It is indeterminable what is go- ing to happen. But even while the left wing anger is mounting, and the government is talking of bombing the fortress, fndelst8 firing from vantage points inside are Killing from % Co 90 milltianaen and towns people Q day.
