FIGHT FOR

MADRID IN

FOURTH DAY Rebels Break Through At Several Points

BUT PRINCIPAL GOVERNMENT POSITIONS STILL HELD

Cuatrovientos, Nov. 10.

The close of the third day of the battle for Madrid, in which the defenders were subjected to very hot all- day air and artillery bombardment, the heaviest experienced hitherto, left the insurgents still west of the Manzanares River, though they have advanced at some points. They are not yet inside Madrid proper.

The Government troops' resistance continues stubborn, despite a fearful pounding from high- explosive during this most confused action. The defenders are reported to have dynamited the Segovia bridge and continue to command its approaches with machine-guns posted in houses on the Madrid side of the river.

Militiamen still hold buildings east of the river near the Talavera road, which have been subjected to a ceaseless pounding by insurgent six-inch batteries, firing a shell every minute.

Kagged Front Line

The front is a mast ragged line, so though the Government troops still, hold many positions on the side of the river fürtner from Madrid, in other sector they have already re- treated to lactory buildings on the Madrid side, whence they will try to make it imposable for the insurgents to cross-the Alunzanares,

BALDWIN SPEAKS AT LORD MAYOR'S ENTERTAINMENT

London, Nov. 9,

Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, the former Prime Minister, collapsed in a faint at Mansion House to-night, during speeches at the Lord Mayor's banquet,

He received nitention from Lord Dawson of Penn, and there- after was able to walk to his car leaning on the arm of a policeman, and to drive to his home.

'Lord Mayor's Traditional magnificence characterised the banquet. Loud cheers were given for Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the Prime Minister, as he made his way through the brilliantly uniformed crowd of guests.

In a speech after dinner Mr. Baldwin said that Great Britain would support all altempts made to reduce the obstacles in the way of international trade. She had already made a contribution to this end by undertaking not to indulge in competitive devaluation and by her non-exclusive imports policy.
