The loyalist forces have commenced their long- anticipated aerial attack on Segivia and Avila. They bombed and destroyed a rebel battery near Siguenza and downed a rebel plane in the Sommo Sierra sector of the Guadarramas.
At the same time, loyalist infantry stormed and captured an important strategic point near Granada.
Leaders in Catalonia report by wireless that loyalist columns have arrived in the vicinity of Sara- gossa and are preparing to attack,
It is announced that the situation in the Guadar- ramas. is relatively quiet.
A War Ministry communique says the rebels at some points on the western front are attempting to flee across the frontier into Portuguese territory. It is asserted that they are unable to assist the beleaguered insurgents in the Balearic Islands owing to the fact that their planes have not sufficient flying radius. Meanwhile, in the Malaga aren, 300 Ilves were lost in the fight for a river ford between the armies.United Press,

PEI CHUNG-HSI AT WUCHOW PARLEY
(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")
Wuchow, Aug. 14.
General Pei Chung-hsi, the Kwangsi warlord. arrived here yesterday to confer with local leaders in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and it is believed their discussion concerned the defence of the province against the threatened invasion by Nanking.
In a final effort to avert war, a peace envoy, General Tsui King-tong, has flown from Canton to Nanking, via this horder river-port. Meanwhile, both sides are drawn up in full battle array.
Central Government warships, a cruiser and a gunboat, are twenty-five miles from here and a log barrier has been prepared to block the West River. Military preparations continue at a frantic pace and conscription is widespread.
