INSURGENTS ATTACK ON EBRO FRONT
Barcelona, Yesterday.
The National Spanish forces have resumed their offensive on the Ebro front.
According to a Republican war bulletin, Nationalist attacks on Hill 565, in Sierra de Lavall de la Torre were repulsed, as also were the first fierce onslaughts on Hill 281 and 287.
At nine o'clock, says the Re- the enemy publican version, was in possession of both these hills, but, later on, Hill 281 was recaptured by Republican troops. Hereupon the enemy, support- ed by tanks and a squadron of 100 bombing planes, put him- self again in possession of Hill 281, though at the price of heavy losses.
Republican airmen were en- gaged in bombing enemy tren- ches and machine-gunning troop concentrations.

GERMAN REPORT OF INCIDENTS
Berlin, Yesterday. Railway traffic between Germany and Czecho-Slovakia has been sus- pended on ten lines, according to an official statement issued here.
The statement explains that the interruption of the traffic in most cases was due to the blowing up of railway bridges and tracks in the Sudeten German region.
Numerous reports of new seri- ous incidents in the Sudeten Ger- man region, have been received. . At Wehlersdorf a Sudeten Ger- man farmer, named Schmidt, was shot.
In Zeidler, three Sudeten Ger- mans were shot by soldiers.
From the same region several large scale clashes between Czechs and Germans are also reported.-
Three Czech gendarmes are said to have been taken into custody by Sudeten Germans during these clashes.
