The U.S.S. Antares is on this
trip to Key West because Rear
Admiral Walter Crossley, cem-
mander of the squadron.of which
the Antares is part, chose to
come here in preference to any
outer port in the country south
of Charleston. 1t is a custom of
the navy to give the officers and
men shore leave right after the
maneuvers, and this year when
Admiral Crossley was told that
any port south Of Charleston was
at his choice, he named Key
West, and then explained to the
other officers and crew that Key
West was a beautifully attractive
city, and though they at first
were inclined to doubt the state
ment, they are by now fully
agreed the admiral was right

attacking with machine guns and hand grenades, they fired the build ing with burning bundles of hay The garrison surrendered.
 Then the americans swung west 12 miles to Belchite. For six days they struggled against snipers in fortified houses.
 1 The tide was turned by the po- litical director of the International Brigade, known as Dave Doran of Albany, N. Y. He commandered a loud speaker truck and brought it to within a half block of the insur- gent street barricades.
 He told insurgents their radio lied when it said endorsements were on the way. He said the forces coming up were for the Loyalist army. He cried that the leaders of the insurgent side were Fascists and foreigners.
 Come over with us and save your lives" he pleaded. | Over the barricades they came, one by one, without arms. Another day of cleaning up and Belchite was taken.
 The Americans arrived at point 12 miles from Zaragoza before the Loyalist army became stalemated. Led Surprise Attack At Teruel, one night, the men crawled forward-with the Cana- dian battalion - over frozen snow and rocky earth to inch their line up about a mile. Just before dawn the Lincoln Washington battalion attacked one of the hills, a virtual insurgent fortress.
 Big guns put down heavy bar rage as the Americans took advan- tage of every stone, brush, tree trunk and hollow to escape the an- swering fire. For an hour and a half they edged forward. Then braving machine gun fire, volun- teers dashed into the open and cut the insurgents barbed wire.
 An assault wave of troops rolled up. charged the lines-and with a shout of victory the Americans dropped into the trenches and forced the insurgents to surrender at bayonet point.

BARCELONA, oct. II. On Christmas day, 1886, ninety six Am ericans secretly boarded ship in New York. They crossed the At lantic, entered Spain through the Pyrenees- and joined the defense of Madrid.
 They were the first organized group of American volunteers-the nucleus of the Abraham Lincoln battalion, later the Lincoln Wash ington Battalion.
 A shock force, that unit has fought as part of the XIV Interna- tional Brigade in most of the major government actions of the first two years of war Jarama, Brunette Belchite, Teruel, the retreat from Aragon and the offensive back across the Ebro.

to the sea this spring, the Am ericans suddenly found themselves a lost battalion"
 On hill, surrounded by insur- gent machine gun nests, they man. aged to hold out until dark. Then they split up to filter through the insurgent lines during the night.
 One by one they worked their way to the Ebro river, 12 miles to the east. One of them, known as Leonard Lamb of New York, re- calls.
 q was left alone. A beautiful moon was coming up. When l went one direction I bumped into ene- my troops and so turned and went northeast for three days. I had nothing but two hand grenades.
 "Once I was surrounded by a cavalry patrol. They spotted me on hill and opened machine gun fire. I pulled the pin. on one Of the grenades and waited for them to come closer, but they wouldn't come.
 When I reached town called Asco on the Ebo river I was treat ed swell by the people there. They fed me but urged me not to stick around.
 Since I couldn't swim I yelled across the river and soon troops there heard me and sent a boat across. I got back after seven days wandering"
 Although most of the Americans escaped the trap successfully, some were killed and others captured.
 This summer the battalion, re- crossing the river, led the Ebro offensive that stopped the insur- gent drive to mop up Spain.

the liberty of Spain as Lafayette and Kosciusko fought to help our forefathers win liberty"
 First big Job for the Americans was to try to stave off the insur- gent drive on the capital, on the Jarama front. Their first position was on Suicide Hill' overlooking b oth government and insurgent lines southeast of Madrid. For five days in February they clung there under a heavy insurgent bombardment. And on February 27 they went over the top.
 Across a 250-yard No Mans Land. they charged-to within 30 yards of the enemy trenches. Then, under whitening fire, they were forced to retire. While their attack failed to break through, it showed the in smgents tn at the government strength had not collapsed. The insurgent offensive was stop PcO, bl1t Mdul LQ- V VdiCiiCld lliSilWdy was saved and now after two years the capital still stands as a symbol of governmental resistance.
 The American volunteers didn't celebrate the Fourth of July, 1897 they marched cup that day for their first major offensive. It was in the Guadarrama river sector, northwest of Madrid. The Loyal ists smashed through the insurgent lines, but in the week-long battle for Mosquito Crest" the Americans, outnumbered three to one, lost heavily. So the Lincoln and Wash ington battalions were merged.
 After that offensive, in which the government gained some ground, the Americans were in the thick of | fighting on many fronts.
 The Zaragoza drive was tough problem. Zaragoza was an insur- gent stronghold, and the two fort ress-towns of Quinto and Belchite had to be taken first.
 Captured QuintO and BeIchitc On the morning of August g each [ man in the Lincoln Washington battalion-with bayonets fixed and bearing three grenades entered Quinto.
