Government Spain has been COM
pressed steadily in the two years since
July 18, 1886, when revolt first struck.
Generalissimo Francisco Frances in
surgent armies now occupy about 10
per cent of the country
But government leaders repeatedly
have asserted they have the money,

several years more. The government
army continues to grow. Its civilians,
although war-weary and hopeful of
peace at almost any price, show no
signs of cracking.

Two Main Objectives.
1t appears now that Gen. Franco
must accomplish two main objec-
tives before the war can be said to
have been won. They are:
l. Capture Of Valencia or its isola-
ton from Madrid and the complete
severance of Madrid from the Medi-
serranean coast
2. The hemming in and subjuga-
tion Of Catalonia and the present
seat Of government, Barcelona.
Even there, government troops
might struggle on for months.
Both are difficult objectives, even
with the vast mechanical and ar
tillery superiority of the insurgents.
Most competent observers doubt that
the insurgents ever can capture coastal
Valencia without destroying it.

protected in front by mountain ranges
