ANOTHER OFFENSIVE LAUNCHED BY INSURGENTS
Halted by Heavy Rain EXTENDED ADVANCE REPORTED By Telegraph—Press Association.—Copyright. (Recd This Day, 12.20 p.m.) BURGOS, May 18. After a partial lull for three weeks, the insurgents again launched an attack between Teruel and the sea and claim that they have made advances dominating Mosqueruela and gaining 62 square miles of territory since May 15. The Republicans claim that they have recaptured Corbalan. MANY ITALIAN CASUALTIES. BELIEVED TO BE HAMPERING FRANCO. (Recd This Day, 12.20 p.m.) LONDON, May 18. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Barcelona correspondent says the insurgents blame the weather for slowing up their advance on Castellon, but the delays are believed to be due to the difficulty of replacing casualties. It is admitted that many hundreds of Italians have been killed, and as the average of dead to wounded is one to five, the Italian losses must have hampered General Franco.
