Insurgents Still Checked at

LOYALISTS REPORT SUCCESSES DURING LERIDA OPERATION

Franco's Armies Trying To Sever Communication Between Key Centres

London, Apr. 13,

The Insurgent advance towards the east coast of the Mediterranean is at present slowed down by the strong Government resistance along the Insurgents' original line of advance near Tortosa, which the Loyalists are still vigorously defending.

A Loyalist communique from Barcelona states that their troops are meeting with success near Lerida, where the Government forces are staging counter-attacks.

The Insurgents are now attempting to break through to the Mediterranean coast further north of Tortosa. Should they succeed that will be able to cut the line of communications between Barcelona and Valencia.— Reuter Bulletin.
