VISITORS REPLY WITH

103 FOR LOSS OF 3

AUSTRALIA WERE ALL OUT FOR 604 IN THE TEST MATCH AT MELBOURNE THIS MORNING, AND AFTER BEING 65 FOR 1 AT LUNCH ENGLAND HAD SCORED 130 FOR 3 AT THE TEA INTERVAL.

Australia added only eleven runs this morning to their overnight score, their innings closing at 604. This is the highest score made by an Australian XI in Test match in Australia, the next best having been 600.

When England had scored 38 runs, Barnett was snapped up behind the wicket by Oldfield after making 18, and at the lunch interval Worthington and Hardstaff took the score to 65. Soon after lunch, another English wicket fell, with the score 96 for 2. Slight rain fell during the interval, and this may possibly affect the wicket.

Paris, March 1.

Russia to-day warned the Non-Intervention Committee members that "a certain power" was using submarines to maintain secret contact with the rebels in Spain.

Simultaneously, the Paris Communist newspaper, Humanite, declared that Italy was using camouflaged submarines to transport Italian troops, aviators and tanks to Spain. It charged that from December 26 to February 26, Italy had despatched 45,000 volunteers, including nine regiments of artillery. The paper says that additional artillerymen are encamped at Gaeta Spezie ready to proceed to Spain.

Meanwhile, Britain, France, Germany and Italy have given final instructions to their fleets regarding the patrol duties along the Spanish coast. However, they are not empowered to halt ships which refuse to display their papers. Such refusal would be reported to London when the Non-Intervention Committee would protest to the nation guilty of the violation.-United Press.
