LONDON, OCT. 20.

REPORTS FROM THE FIGHTING SECTORS AROUND MADRID INDICATE THAT GENERAL FRANCISCO FRANCO, THE INSURGENT COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, HAS TIGHTENED HIS GRIP ON THE SPANISH CAPITAL MATERIALLY. AN APPARENTLY INEXHAUSTIBLE STREAM OF FRESH TROOPS IS POURING INTO HIS LINES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINAL ASSAULT ON THE GREATEST CITY IN SPAIN, WHERE THE SITUATION IS SAID TO BE BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT.

Reserves of coal, for example, are reported to be almost exhausted, and the winter, which it is anticipated will be exceptionally hard, has already begun. The insurgents, at present consolidating their positions, claim to be within 20 miles of the capital at one point.-Reuter,"

Paris, Oct. 20.

Sunday, October 25, will see the start of the world's most gruelling gir race.

The course stretches half-way around the world. It is from Paris to Saigon, Indo-China, and back.

Only three planes are likely to participate. They are a Brequet-Fulgur, to be flown by Detroyat, Durmon and Agnus; a Caudron-goeland, to be flown by Arnoux and Japy; and another machine of the same make, piloted by the well-known aviators Challe and Bril.

They must fly a distance of nearly 15,000 miles, compared to just over 11,000 in the London-Melbourne air race.

The original plan, to give a handi- cap prize anu a 4,000 kilometre non- stop speed prize, has now been aban- be a pre the ract will dogul, so speed contest, and the first plane back to Paris will be the winner.
