200 AMERICANS
| KILLED IN SPAIN
Lincoln Battalion Volunteers
in Thickest Fighting
as Volunteers.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, May l8.-American VOL
unteer battalions, used continually as
government shock troops in the Span
ish civil war, were estimated today to
have lost almost 4 third Of their num-
Der In death.
Reliable sources placed the number
Of United States citizens killed while
lighting on the government side at
more than 500, or 80 per cent Of the
1,700 reported to have enlisted since
the conflict started.
A few Of the volunteers were pro-
fessional air pilots and technicians,
and a few were soldiers Of fortune,
but the overwhelming majority lacked
previous military experience.
The largest contingent of Ameri-
cans in the service of the republic
has been the 18th Infantry, or Abra-
ham Lincoln battalion, which went
into the thick of the action on the
Jarama River, south OF Madrid.
First Two Weeks Tragic.
Only two weeks later, according to
one member Of the outfit, lat men
out Of the 487 had been lost and
many others incapacitated by wounds
and sickness.
Fifty OF the slain were buried Al
most where they fell near Tarancon
soldiers of the battalion said.
The first commander of the bat
talon was an ex-sea captain. He
was succeeded by former, instructor
OF economics in an American uni
versity who was wounded in the
Jarama fighting
Then man claiming to have served
in the United States Army took over
command of the Lincoln battalion.
Members OF the unit said their
United States passports were taken ur
by the defense command when they
went into service and passports OF
dead Americans are thought to be still
held by the authorities.
Identities Concealed.
Most of the Americans fight under
assumed names, with even the COM
manders guarding their identities
Many OF them are said to have been
issued Spanish passports under Span
ish names.
A number of Americans have ar
rived in Spain since the ban on volun-
teers went into effect last February
20. Some succeeded in crossing the
French frontier on foot while others
were halted by border patrols.
-Four were said to have been among
q group of foreigners caught in the
border region early last week.
After heavy casualties suffered in
the Jarama fighting, the Lincoln bat
talon was reorganized and sent to the
Guadalajara front northeast of
Madrid. There it was broken up, some
Of the units going to Pozoblanco on
the Cordoba front British citizens
killed number 600 and French, 5000.

1T was red and yellow. There was
smoke in it, The cell did not burst.
1t suddenly disappeared from the heat.
The flame became very bright, and
She fire rose up to the top. more to the
