London, July 26. "I order you to surrender the city." "I refuse."

These were the messages exchanged by the loyalist General Perez Farras and the rebel General Cabanellas, respectively, to-day, and which were the prelude to a homeric onslaught upon Saragossa by Government troops.

The Government has established an, air base at Lerida, eight miles from Saragossa, from which the loyal forces are conducting a continuous bombardment which has already badly shattered the fine, old town.

The three other critical areas outside Madrid, are, Seville, towards which loyalist troops are driving and have already arrived at the city of Cordova: Albacete, which has been captured from the rebels, facilitating the revictualing of the capital: and San Sebastian,. around which the loyalists are reported to be gaining ground.

CHARGES AGAINST H.K. SOLICITOR “Dishonourable Conduct" Alleged

LAW SOCIETY ACTION

Allegations of "disgraceful and dishonourable conduct" were made against a local solicitor in the Full Court this morning, when a motion was brought before the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, and Mr. Justice J. J. Hayden, acting Pulsne Judge, to have his name struck off the rolls of the Court.. The motion was brought by the Incorporated Law Society of Hongkong.

Mr. H. G. Sheldon, K.C., instructed by Mr. D. L. Strellett, Secretary of the Society, appeared in support of the motion, and the respondent was represented by Mr. Leo D'Almada, jnr., instructed by Mr. P. M. Hodgson.

Before opening his case, Mr. Sheldon asked the Court to request the Press not, to publish the name of the respondent until the findings.

The Chief Justice remarked that that was the practice, which he proposed, as far as it lay in his power, to see carried out. His Lordship then directed the Press to suppress. the name of the solicitor whose conduct was being investigated and to refer to him throughout the proceedings as "a solicitor."

Mr. Sheldon said the motion was out the discharged several shots into his left to ask the Court to striko

How groups of armed Communists stormed the houses of over 100 land-owners, and after assaulting their wives and daughters, cut off an ear of each member of the household before leaving, was the blood-curdling story by fugitives from Badajos who are crossing the frontier in ever increasing numbers.
