REBEL ADVANCE
4.30 O’CLOCK EDITION
THE WAR IN SPAIN CLAIMS BY THE REPUBLICANS HEAVY ITALIAN CASUALTIES United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright (Received May 19, 3.15 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 advances dominating Mosqueruela and gaining 62 square miles of territory since May 15. Heavy rain brought the offensive to a standstill to-day. The Republicans claim that they recaptured Corbalan. LONDON, May 18 The Barcelona correspondent of the Dally Telegraph says the insurgents blaine the weather for slowing up the advance on Sastellon, 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.
