Defenders Still Hold Out Against Fierce Offensive
INSURGENTS GAIN IN SOUTH: LOYALISTS BOMB ALGECIRAS
Madrid, Jan. 17.
Early this morning, the Rightists started a violent offensive along the entire Madrid front.
The defenders continue to resist successfully the Rightists' massed attacks, in which General Francisco Franco has thrown the whole weight of his army against the Madrid positions: The attack is especially fierce on the west and north-west lincs.
Newspapers with black headlines shout the failure of the attack. Meanwhile, a cold, wet fog has again enveloped the capital, muffling the distant boom of Leftist batteries and the spasmodic bursts of Rightist guns,
From Gibraltar it is learned that four Leftist aircraft have bombed the Rightist base at Algeciras in retaliation for General Franco's drive against Malaga. The roar of the exploding bombs rumbled across the bay and denise clouds of smoke arose, allegedly from the Hotel Cristina, which is crowded with General Del Lano's wounded troopers.
The raiders were kept at a high 'altitude, due to the_bguvy. Ave., from the shore batteries and the anti- aircraft guns on warships in harbour, Finally, 11 squadron of insurgent fighters dispersed the rulders,
