Gossips seized at once on Mrs. Simpson's intention to go abroad as a possible indication that her friendship with the King was waning. It was believed this gossip was inspired by personts who desire to end the friendship. The King and Mrs. Simpson remain the closest of friends, and the King continues to say it with flowers. Loads of gardenias, carnations and shaggy chrysanthemums as big as one’s head are delivered at Mrs. Simpson's house daily. Further, since her divorce the King has taken every opportunity to see Mrs. Simpson, if only for a few minutes, sometimes at Bucking-

Friends of the King and Mrs. Simpson insist that they have no idea of marriage; have never considered it. Particularly, they say that Mrs. Simpson, who is known for her tact and understanding, realizes the constitutional and dynastic obstacles to a marriage between the King of Great Britain and Emperor of India and a commoner who is not even a British subject, and that she is too good a friend of the King to want to sub- | Ject him to embarrassment, or to consent to do so.

Force of 1000 Rebels Caught in Trap.

. (Copyright, 1936, by United Press) MADRID, Nov. 12—A heavy artillery barrage rocked Madrid and its environs today as government and rebel batteries resumed 2 fierce cannonade. With rain and poor visibility preventing the powerful aviation forces of either side from operating, the loyal artillery began shelling the rebel positions on.almost the entire Madrid front. - The rebels quickly responding, concentrating on the government batteries. Loyalist militiamen trapped 1000 picked rebel storm troops in the

western part of the city today and:

expected to annihilate them. ; Moors and Foreign Legionnaires, the rebel soldiers, tried a desperate sortie into the heart of the city." In the night they filtered through the upper slopes of the Casa Del Campo Park on Madrid's West Side and managed to cross the Manzanares River near the Franceses bridge. A secretly strengthened militia line was ‘electrified to find the enemy approaching. Militiamen began ‘a quiet enveloping movement and,’ opening fire, stopped the rebels. ‘ The Moors and Legionnaires tried to retreat and apparently got back across the bridge into the park. But here, it was asserted, they were surrounded and it was believed all were doomed.
