REPULSE BY MILITIA LEADS TO MOUNTING MORALE
Madrid, To-day.
Two squadrons of tanks assisted the insurgent troops in re- peated attacks in the University sector, declared yesterday's De fence Council communique, which claims that three tanks cap- tured were of German and Italian make. It is also claimed that the Government forces repulsed three Moroccan battalions, who, attacked with unprecedented violence. The Government planes also foiled attempts to bomb the capital and brought down two, three-engined Junker planes. A big Government attack in the Aranjuiz sector, with the object of cornering the insurgents on the left bank of the Tagus and attacking the right flank of the army besieging Madrid, met with success, according to a Gov- ernment communique. It is stated that two villages were cap- tured, and that the Government forces intend to attack Toledo and Talavera. The new success has helped considerably to raise the morale of the defenders of Madrid, who are also counting on the Basque offensive on the Biscay front to divert the insurgent energies from Madrid. -Reater's Bulletin Service,

COSSACK PLEDGE GIVEN AT
ALL-UNION CONGRESS
WILD SCENES OF ENTHUSIASM AT MASS MEETING IN MOSCOW BOLD CHALLENGE TO FASCISM DELIVERED BY HEAD OF SOVIET STATE
Moscow, To-day.
"The Red Cossacks are determined to wipe out mercilessly Japan- ese, Germans or any other enemy who dares to attack the Cossack Fatherland." This pledge, made by the Don Cossack group at the con- clusion of the session of the All-Union Congress of Soviets, brought everyone present, including MM. Stalin and Voroshiloff and every member of the Political Bureau, to their feet, cheering wildly. Dress- ́ed in the old Cossack uniforms which were banned until last year and brandishing their sabres, the Cossacks completely stole the limelight. "We are ready to help again at any moment to crush the Fascist enemy, "the spokesman declared. "The C sacks now form the best division of the Red Army, and we shall stop at nothing to destroy the enemy and to help the working class.”
