Insurgents Win Practically Whole Of Ebro Territory
BIG ADVANCES ARE CLAIMED DURING RECENT BATTLES
Loyalist Losses On Segre Front
BILBAO, Nov. 9.
the ONLY AN 18 KILOMETRES of territory on right bank of the Ebro still remained in the hands of the Loyalist Spanish troops this afternoon. In the course of the day the Insurgents successfully continued their offen- sive operations, so that the position of the Loyalists on- the right bank of the Ebro becomes still more precarious.
Advancing in a northerly direction the Insurgents captured a number of important positions in the Aguilas mountains this morning; and approached close to the town of Asco on the Ebro. They too successfully repulsed Loyalist ättacks on the Segre front where they continued their mopping up operations, capturing a large number of prisoners-Trans-Ocean.
