COUNTRY AFLAME.
Rebels Checked or Forced Back.
Press Association—Copyright. Received 2.15 p.m. London, Feb. 19. The Madrid correspondent of the Times says that the war strain is beginning to tell on the populace. The food problem is going from bad to worse. The whole of the south-eas-tern Madrid battlefront is aflame. Loyalists are launching persistent counter-attacks. Everywhere on the Southern front the rebel advance has been checked or forced back. A tribunal of the Popular Front acquitted 83 persons captured in a raid on Ange Mountain, accepting them as Socialists who had to fight against their wills. The public cheerd the verdict and the accused joined the Popular Front after one of them had broadcast the result of the trial to the front telling their comrades they would be treated with equal clemency if they surrendered.
