He concluded: "If Europe and the world can find no other way of settling their disputes than the way of war now-When We are still finding and burying the bodies of those who "fell twenty „years ago—if they can and no other way, the world deserves to Derish"

In the mountains north of Madrid, both the government troops and the rebel forces under General Mola have now en- trenched themselves and both parties announce a forthcoming big offensive in order to bring about a definite decision and end the civil war.

Meanwhile, stubborn guerilla warfare continues throughout the country in a large number of places, although the expected advance of General Franco's troops in the south has not yet materialised.
