Loyalists Report New German ‘Voluntéers’

HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish FronN | tier, March 26 (U. P.).—Rebel ar‘mies methodically pushed on toward Catalonia today. Government reports asserted that they were being reinforced - with thousands of additional foreign “volunteers.” Reports from the Aragon front indicated that some of the fiercest fighting of the civil war was in progress. The Rebels pushed on relentlessly, forcing the Loyalists to fall back to “last line” defenses, and bringing * the western frontier of Catalonia under Gen. Francisco Franco's guns. Heaviest fighting was reported east of Bujaraloz, on one of the most important highways leading into Catalonia and to the Mediterranean Coast. The Rebels took the city after a desperate struggle and trained their guns on the new lines to which the Loyalists fell back. The next objective was Lerida, headquarters of Gen. Sebastian Pozas, commander-in-chief of the Government forces on front. It is 43 miies directly east,

Go Over Top At 7 a. m. today the Rebels went

over the top in'a new drive south of

Caspe along the Giadalope “River. Artillery, airplanes and infantry cooperated and it was not long before the Rebels were taking key positions. Coincidentally important operations were started farther south in the Alcaniz sector, where the lines are only 40 miles from Mediterranean and where the Loyalists have most strongly resisted Gen. Franco’s drive. The battle front today extended for 120 miles and the Loyalist resistance was reported crumbling along the whole front. It was reported from Barcelona that Rebel planes had raided the cities of Tarragona, Reus and Lerida. Satisfied with the speed at which the Rebels were pushing forward, Gen. Franco returned to his fiéld headquarters in Sglémanca and presided over a special meeting of

his cabinet to map out new plans,

for conquering Catalonia. Report Reinforcements

Meafiwhile, the Loyalist Defense Ministry in Barcelona asserted that seven merchant ships, assertedly carrying new recruits from abroad for Gen. Franco's Army, had been spotted off Almeria, or: the Spanish

| Eastern Coast. The ships allegedly

were being escorted by a German cruiser and two destroyers. The Loyalists recruited every man of military age in Catalonia. Unless a man could give procf that he already had served in the Army he was loaded into a waiting truck,

given a uniform and sent to the

front. The Loyalists Cabinet: held a long meeting last night and discussed new methods of defending the capital. Premier Juan Negrin received representatives of the French Em-

United Labor Syndicates.
