WAR PRONOUNCED
OVER WEEK-END
(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED, July 26th—The government’s Spanish
armies retreated on two fronts in the face of powerful
Insurgent attacks from the West of Madrid, and shifted
to Viilaneuva after Miajas’ loyal forces were driven
from Brunete. Both sides had massed more men and
more gun powder there than for any scrap since the
start of the^war.
The government defeat at Viilaneuva, might lay
Madrid open to a new frontal attack._ It is the key to
the communication lines within the wedge the govern
ment forces had driven into the Insurgent lines.
General Franco claimed to have taken more than
forty miles in the Albarracin sector and the Turttel
front East of Madrid.
