Mr. Hunter’s life was kindly an Jtionatist lines to keep back reinforce-
ments struggling along the roads to the front- reportedly Italians. Loyalist leaders were confident, “The enemy in the last 24 hours has thrown the cream of his troops against us and has been pressed back," a high military source told the United Press. “It is doubtful whether they will redeem their los-
ses.”
The Loyalists figured that every time a counter-attack was thrown back, the Nationalist morale was lessened. The fighting was on a scale not equalled even in the attack that began the siege of Madrid. Losses were frightful on both sides. Every man in the battle knew that the whole war might hinge on it. Six Loyalist tri-motored planes heavily bombed Insurgent positions in the outskirts of Madrid at 12:45 p. m. Buildings in central Madrid trembled after each detonation. There were about 40 explosions. It appeared that the Insurgents were massing to thrust against the Loyalists on the Estamadura road. Sources close to the general staff estimated that between 5.000 and 7.000 men of both armies were wounded or killed yesterday. The Unite i States Volunteers of the Abraham Lincoln and George Washington battalions, who a year ago wore clerks, Undents, workers of every sort back home and today are hardened veterans, were thrown into
