After capturing the hills surrounding Corbera, just north of Gandesa, the Insurgents finally entered the former town, taking a large number of prisoners after a short, brisk engage- ment.
Insurgent infantry continue in ad- vance along the Caballos Mountain, renching at some points the second defence line of the Loyalists. The

AIM TO ISOLATE CZECHS
Reported Attempt To Win Rumania To Neutrality
London, Sept. 5. A sensational story regarding alleged Polish overtures' to Rummuia with respect to
the passage of Soviet troops through the "Polish Corridor" appears in this morning's Daily Express,
According to this newspaper's cor- respondents, Poland has suggested to Rumania that the latter country should abrogate certain treatles with Soviet Russia and refuse to provide facilities for the transfer of troops from Soviet Russia to Czecho- Slovakia. In return for this conces- sion
Poland will guarantee Rumania ngainst aggression.
Significance it attached to this report by reason of the fact that it would appear to be an attempt to break the Soviet-Rumanian entente and thus deprive Czecho-Slovakia of sny help from Soviet Russia, unless the latter invades Rumania or Poland to secure passage for her troops,
Soviet Russia is completely isolated from Czech-Slovakia by the Inter-

Such a step as that indicated in the Daily Express report would be in keeping with the Polish policy of establishing a neutral bloe separating the Soviet Union and Germany.

STERLING
DECLINES SERIOUSLY
Equalisation Fund Powerless To Hold Raiders
London, Sept. 5. A frantic rush by apprehen- sive Europeans to buy U.S. dollars and gold drove Sterling to its lowest level since early in 1935.
Simultaneously, gold renched its highest price in nearly 42 months,
Although the demand for stold slackened, the Equalisation Fund was powerless to check the raid on sterling which, some sources believe, might be devalued.
Financiers, however, are blaming sterling's weakness on the unfavour- able trade balance and not on the international situation.—United Press, :
