This marks the most important Rightist advance since the rebels reached Madrid, inasmuch as their wider front now minimizes the danger of Leftist flanking movements through counter-attacks.

It is reported that 80 per cent. of the dead on the battlefielda during the past two days have been foreigners. The majority of prisoners are trained foreign troops.
