REVOLT CHANGES LOYALIST SPAIN Hotels and Clubs in Cities Separated From Fighting Requisitioned. This is the eleventh and last of @ series of uncensored dispatches on under-surface conditions in Spain, written by a famous foreign correspondent after traveling for several weeks in the war-torn prov- inces of Catalonia, Aragon and New Castile. In three succeeding dis- patches from Paris, Mr. Duranty will discuss the international aspects of the Spanish situation. BY WALTER DURANTY. By Wireless to The Star. TOULON, France, September 24.— | Although conditions in Barcelona, Valencia;! Madrid and other sections | of lovalist Spain where there is no actual fighting may be described as normal, the revolution already has introduced many changes, some strik- | ing and some less apparent but no | less real. Shops everywhere are open, with business going on much as usual. The | public utilities function on a scale | that is reduced but little and people &it in the cafes and stroll on the bou- levards as before, but the so-called fashionable people and their smart clubs or rendezvous have disappeared. ‘The leading hotels and social clubs have been requisitioned as offices or | dwelling quarters for workers’ organi- | pations or as feeding centers for children. And in this hot cqpntry neither men nor women wear headgear of any kind, except soldiers, street car offi- | cials and policemen. T was told that | this had become a masculine fashion | in recent years, but in the case of the women there is an obvious "pmtective assimilation” with proletarian usage, and a similar absence of smart frocks, furs or stockings. Rash of Flags. Another striking change is the rash | of flags that has broken out on almost | every building and on all motor cars | save doctors’ automobiles, which con= tent themselves with white-lettered placards bearing the word “Medico” or its Catalan synonym, ‘“Metg Only doctors’ cars and those of foi eigners which carry their national flags. as do foreign buildings, have | not been commandeered. The flags | are rivaled by long streamers of bunt- ing across house fronts, bearing th letters or names of new workers' or- ganizations in lurid colors. | At the doors of banks, exchange offices, big hotels and many other establishments or_homes of members of the former privileged class, there are groups of militia men armed with rifles, and the streets are full of armed soldiers. Several times daily traffic | is interrupted by parades of militia £0ing off to the front amid an uproar | —— — | MUSICAL INSTRUCTION | HART’S MUSIC STUDIO, | 1918 CALVERT ST.

Apart from such manifestations, the streets are quiet and orderly and there is little sign of excitement or nervousness, although the Madrid streets are darkened after 11 because of enemy air ralds. At night, too, there are militia patrols at the prin- cipal squares and crossroads, not only in the towns and cities, but in the country villages as well. Few Signs of Destruction. There are few signs of destruction or damage, although here and there street barricades still are partially un- removed and often the doors of churches are broken or torn out, the interiors demolished and the facades blackened by smoke. Outside the churches, too, there are dark patches on the pavement to mark bonfires, primed with gasoline, which destroyed religious images amd vestments and, alas, priceless pictures and -carved wood. In the apartment houses and tene- | ments, there is little change, save where wealthy tenants fled or have been arrested. Rents have been re- duced, and mansions, in many cases, have been requisitioned as hospitals| tion as a matter of state necessity. or children's homes, but there is no| housing shortage, as in the Soviet cities, and consequently there is lit- tle influx of the poorer sections of the population into the better class dwell- ings. In the workers' quarters, house committees are being formed on the | Russian model, but in other sections the tenants mostly ccatinue to pay rent to the concierge, as in France, and he still transmits it to the pro- prietor unless notified that the state |~ or municipality has taken over the building. Small stores and petty businesses | function naturally, but the larger stores and big business establishments | and industries are either run or con- | trolled by employes’ committees, with the assistance of the trade unions to which the employes belong. Different from Soviet Revolt. THE EVENING nesses—bosses who had family, social or economic connections with the Fas- cists—who fled or were arrested, and the rest of the organizations remained untouched. In Russia it was a rebel- lion of the bottom and upper and middle sections that refused to co- operate with the “lower depths.” In Spain it was a rebellion of the top. Save for the directors and heads of departments, practically all the white- collar employes, the engineers, book- keepers, silesmen and other “techni- cians” saw no reason to abandor. their jobs because their boss was shot &s the brother of a rebel colonel or be- cause he contributed funds to the Fascist cause, More perhaps than any other factor, this contributes to “normalcy” and calm. In the case of enterprises owned or managed by foreigners, there has been little interference, unless the foreign- ers bolted, as many did, which brings their enterprises into much the same category as those of bolted or arrested | | Pascists, and although foreign enter- prises have been subjected to a certain measure of trade ynion control, the | authorities have promised them pro- | tection and freedom of action and | compensation for damage or requisi- | Sees Unnecessary Panic. With due allowance for national alarm in the first stages of the re- bellion, it is hard to avoid the con- | clusion that many foreigners became | unnecessarily panicky, and it may be added that their diplomatic and con- stop them; in fact, quite the contrary.

A salient instance is the Interna- tional Telephone & Telegraph Co., the biggest foreign company in Spain, whose managing director, Col. Sos- thenes Behn, happened to be in Ma- drid when the rebellion broke, owing to the gudden death of the firm's Americant manager for Spain. Instead of following the example of most for- eign business men—and diplomats, too, {or that matter—Col. Behn stayed on in Madrid, and, far from reducing his American personnel, he has brought in & dozen men. As a result, he won the respect of Spaniards, from' the moderates to the extreme left, and not only helped to safeguard his com- pany’s interests, but vastly enhanced American prestige.
