With heavy Smelling and repeated

Francisco Frances forces today
opened a fresh offensive on the
front west of Madrid.
Assaults on Villanueva de Ia
Canada we're repulsed, according
to a Madrid communique.
The new nationalist threat
against Madrid apparently is
aimed to divert some Of the loyal

eminent counte~-offensive on the
Teruel salient.
There, the Madrid announce
ment said, the government col
umn took up stronger fortified
positions around Rudilla.
Inflicting severe damage on ma

with the rear, government batter
les threw a heavy barrage Of big
artillery shells into Geade, Albar-
racin and Bezas.
With Observation-Disclosures troops
pressing the nationalist on the
west and south and a huge Cata-
Ian force attacking along a wide
front on the west, the national
lists have now been completely
stopped in what had been a rapid
advance toward the vital last road
from Madrid to Valencia.
The pause has enabled govern
ment forces to throw up breast
works and other emergency forti-

region north Of Cuenca, so the
threat to the highway now is be-
