Rebel and loyalist hatred has been whipped to fever pitch. They are fighting savagely for supremacy' throughout Spain and the humanising code of normal warfare has been forgotten.,

In addition, further minor clashes, in which it is possible scores may be killed, are progressing throughout the nation. Meanwhile, there is every indication that this intensified warfare may develop decisive action.
The Government is anxiously watching the Estramadura front, due to the fact that the rebels assert Badajoz is on the verge of surrender,
But more portentious, for Spain than the battles were the natures of the conflicts to-day, the merciless re prisals on both sides, the reported execution of song prisoners and the threat to execute hundreds of others,
It is announced here that General Jonquin Fanjul, and his side, Colonel Jose Fernandez, will be court- -martialled here Saturday.

POWER FOR NEW ARMIES
Shanghai, Aug. 15.
The interview given by Mr. Frederick Moore, an American employee of the Japanese Foreign Office, on his arrival in Tokyo from Washington, has provoked a storm of vehement protest from Americans, as well as Chinese, in Shanghai. The version of the interview published by the Japan Advertiser has just been received here.
The American-owned China Weekly Review devotes a lengthy leading article in to-day's issue in refutation of Mr. Moore's description of the American viewpoint with respect to China and the Far Eastern problem generally.
"Mr. Moore's motive in deprecating. America's trade position in China is exposed in his reference to "the highly profitable' nature of trade between Japan and the United States, some 90 per cent. of which, according to his statement, is mutually profitable.
