BARRAGE OVER REBELS’ LINES

Idlers and Unemployed Are Drafted to Serve Behind Front.

I nited Press MADRID, Feb. tillery batteries on the side of Madrid laid down a terrific barrage on the Rebel trenches today.

Firing spread to all sectors. Firing began at dawn. The din was heard throughout Madrid and windows in the central part of the city shook. The firing centered in | the University City and West Park areas. | Heavy fighting aiso was reported south of the city in the San MartinMorata sector of the Jarama River front, along the Valencia road. All idlers and unemploved men in Loyalist Spain between the ages of 18 and 45 years were drafted into! war service today as the Loyalists met with stiff resistance in their bid to clear the vital Valencia road, last artery to the sea. The Loyalist high command admitted that storm troops who ves- | terday captured La Maranosa. south | of the capital in a key position, had | been driven out. Determined to enlist all manpower in the final phase of the civil war, the Government, from its emergency capital at Valencia, issued the decree by which all idlers and unemploved men will be put to work building fortifications and doing other tasks behind the lines.
