BRADMAN IN GERMAN "BLOCKADE" REBEL RAIDERS

FINE FORM Australia Piling Up Enormous Lead

Bradman and Fingleton are placing Australia in an impregnable position in the third Test match, being played at Melbourne. At the lunch interval, they had taken the score to 252 for 5, Bradman being only four short of his century, whilst Fingleton had 57 to his credit. Soon after the resumption, Bradman reached his century. He is now 103, whilst Fingleton is 59, the score being 261 for 5. Both batsmen continue to defy the English bowlers.

When the match was resumed this morning, Aus- tralia were 194 for 5, and shortly after the lunch interval they were 385 ahead of England, with five good wickets still in hand.'

Bradman is in fine form, and only the splendid fielding of the English team is keeping down the rate of his scoring.

The departure of these 20 armed craft have brought grave fears of serious incidents. It is noteworthy that the insurgent Northern Fleet is concentrated at Zumaya and Pasajes, while there are British and

German warships at present in the Gulf of Gascony.

Meanwhile, General Francisco Franco, rebel commander-in-chief, has ordered his Biscay fleet to shell any suspected ship failing to halt and submit its papers to examination, and has instructed three rebel cruisers to refuel at Ceuta and prepare for immediate departure under sealed orders.-United Press.

STRIKE LOSING GROUND MOVE TO DEFEAT JOSEPH CURRAN

New York, Jan. 4. Several sources, including strike leaders and shipowners as well as striking seamen, to-day said that the strikers had begun a movement to overthrow Mr. Joseph Curran, the Chairman of the Seamen's Defence Committee, and permit the strikers to return to work.

They are unanimously agreed that the strike is rapidly losing ground, while their funds are exhausted.

The fundamental causes of the Pope's illness are described as a con- dition of arteria schlerosis, with pre- valent miocardice localisations and a disturbance of the rhythm of the heart.
