SURPRISE ATTACK
SUDDEN THRUST BY SPANISH REBELS PROGRESS ON ESTREMADURA FRONT. REPORTS REGARDING EBRO IN CONFLICT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) Copyright. SARAGOSSA, August 23. A rapid surprise advance by General Franco’s forces broke the Republican line along a 15-mile front in Estremadura today, which had hitherto been a tranquil sector, 30 miles southwest of Talavera de la Reina,, and penetrated 11 miles toward Campillos. The Nationalists also claim that they captured important positions on the Ebro front, including an entire Republican regiment and much war material. A Republican communique, however, records that the Ebro front is still unbroken, and that Franco’s forces were repulsed with incalculable losses. The Republicans claim that they captured four tanks with Italian crows.
