Raising the battle cries, "They shall not pass," and "We shall get them," Government troops launched a great offensive on the south and south-east sectors of the Madrid front to-day, recapturing Torrejon de Velasco and Torrejon de la Calzada and Sesena, three points from which the insurgent forces threatened the capital most seriously.

Fighting continues to go in favour of the Govern- ment forces.

U.S. PRESS OPENLY PREDICTS SO "STUPENDOUS BALLY-HOO"

London, Oct. 20.

The first open reference in the Britial press to King Edward's friendship for Mrs. Ernest Simpson, an American woman, who obtained a divorce from her husband at Ipswich this week, appeared in the radical publication, The Week, to-day. It Was A 300 word article, entitled, "The King and Mrs. Simpson.'

It denounced the prominence with which the American press had play- ed up the story and denounced the British press for the suppression of the tale. It clearly indicated, finally, that many persons in Britain would be bitterly opposed to a marriage be- tween the King and Mrs. Simpson.

The paper referred to the manner in which American newspapers had handled the Ipswich divorce, giving it "sensational value equal to the Lind- bergh kidnapping." It added that the reason for this stupendous, vulgar bally-hoo is the view, now openly expressed in the American press, that King Edward is about to marry Mrs. Simpson."

The Week sald the American attitude was based on the "curious behaviour of the English press over the stories about Mrs. Simpson...and certain disgruntled, former palace in-

RETURN TO HOUSE

London, Oct. 29: Mr. Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister, made his first appearance since his illness in the House of Commons to-day, when he wound up the debate on the non-intervention policy of the Government in connec tion with the Spanish civil war.

The Premier looked slightly pale, but he retained his vigour of expression. He declared that there had been some breaches of the Non-Intervention Pact on both sides, but these were not sufficiently important to cause any modification of the British policy.

Since the end of August, Britain had furthered her humanitarian efforts in Spain. The first appeal was rejected by the Spanish Government, and consequently it was not submitted to the Burgos authorities. Since then, Britain had pursued her action alone, with a fair measure of success.
