BACKGROUND— Great loss of life and property destruction has marked the Span- ish revolution which began more than § months ago, with the in- surgent Pascists no nearer capture of Madrid than when the siege of the capital city began nearly 9 weeks ago. By the Associated Press. MADRID, December 21.—Socialist troops took up strong positions west of the capital today, consolidating a hotly-fought victory on the Fascist left flank. At Poguelo, Villaneuva, Delpardillo and Valdemorielo the Spanish de- fenders strengthened their lines for 12 miles along the strategic El Es- corial high®ay to the snow-capped Guadarrama Mountains. ‘The Fascists were repulsed with heavy losses in two charges, Jaunched simultaneously against the north- western first line of defense, the gov- ernment reported. After the bitter fighting the So- cialists rushed troops to their new positions. The Socialists captured six tanks, which they proudly dragged into the city as spoils of war, Gen. Francisco Franco, the insur- gent commander, appeared to be bringing up reserves to strengthen his left wing in readiness for a drive on the El Escorial highway. A victory there would open the road from the Guadarramas to the insur- gent forces that have been blocked at the mountain passes since the first few weeks of the war. Artillery threw tons of shells on the Fascist concentrations throughout the day, seeking to delay the potential danger which the government recog- nizes in that direction. The government took advantage of the after-the-battle lull to prepare an assault on the insurgent right flank south of the city. Gen. Franco’s position now lies roughly in the angle formed by the Madrid-El Escorial road on the north- west and the Madrid-Aranjues road almost due south. An insurgent cavalry charge near Aranjuez yesterday, the government said, was repulsed. It was reported from Barcelona the Fascist cruiser Canarias shelled the small town of Culera on the Catalan coast, but the range was poor and the explosives fell into the nearby mountains without doing any damage. Four insurgent planes also were said to have taken part in the attack on Culera as well as Port Bou, near the French border. The reports said sev- eral bombs fell 2 miles within French territory. China (Continued From First Page.) in the other Western provinces, in- cluding Shensi, seat of the uprising, had reported their safety. Shigeru Kawagoe, the Japanese Am- bassador, arrived from Shanghai to be closer to the seat of government dur- ing the crisis. : It was reported he carried word from his government Japan was deeply concerned over any terms of settlement that might be reached and, N | if they were detrimental to Japanese interests, Tokio would be compelled to act. Troops of the Nanking government pressed their attack on Sianfu to within 25 miles of Marshal Chang’s stronghold, capturing two mutinous battalions. The military, convinced by Chang’s ignoring of the central government's ultimatum to. free the generalissimo that it was time to “quit talking” and use force, were pushing the retreating rebels back on Sianfu. Hope for Peace Persists. Despite the reports of the revolt's spread and the determined show of armed atrength, hope still persisted that a peaceful solution could be found for the crisis. Government officials, however, point- ed out that Dr. Soong was acting “on his personal fhitiative” and “as a fam- iy _;!’&rmnhuu." g - government,” a spokesman insisted, “will not participate in such degrading negotiations.” Reports persisted that Marshal Chang was willing to free the captive generalissimo and exile himself from China if his personal safety were guaranteed. “Informal” eonversations, such as that Dr. S8oong was undertaking, were represented as being the best hope for an end to the impasse at the pres- ent stage. But while the conversations went on, the erack divisions the generalis- simo had trained himself were pledged to fight for his freedom. It was only 25 miles southwest of Sianfu that the two battalions were captured in the first officially an- no:::ee!g battle of the civil war. ul Cl ' dhaun. hang’s mn was Reports at Variance. Reports of the Lanchow revolt were at variance with previous reports, which said that Gen. Yu had been captured on December 12 with Chiang. Gen. Yu, former governor of Hopel Province, is a bitter enemy of Japan and was forced from his Hopel posi- tion by the demands of Japanese military authorities in North China. One of Marshal Chang’s original demands before he would free Chiang was for & promise of war against the Japanese and consolidation of Com- munist elements in the national gov- ernment. son of Jersey City, N.

This is for parents only. If the doors are locked and the shades drawn against inquisitive youngsters, we'll discuss Santa Claus. You'll have to decide for yourself if the children should be told the truth about the jolly old saint, but if you want to tell them, there are at least three ways to do it, the United States Office of Education said today: s 1. .The brutal way. The weary parent says, “Son, brace yourself. This is going to hurt me as much as it hurts you. But there isn't any Santa Claus.” No guarantee of re- sults accompanies this method. 2. The demonstration method. This costs money, but modern visual edu- cation theories commend it. Daddy dresses up in the red garb of Santa, XMAS GIFT CARTON frolics with his children, and un- masks to show them who Santa is or isn't. This method is guaranteed to disillusion children, but whether they get disillusioned about Santa or daddy is open to argument. 3. The legend method. Mother had better take over this one. She picks a cozy overstuffed chair be- fore a fireplace. The lights are dim. In her most soothing story-telling voice, she tells her trusting offspring Christmas legends. She relates the story of St. Nicholas and gently ex- plains Santa is & beautiful myth, but that his spirit of generosity is the real thing. This procedure rates high, but depends on mother's narrative ahbjlity. Now, all you have to do is decide wt;:ther the children ought to be told.
