Spanish rebel planes bombed Loyalist cities today as the

front. The warplanes raided Barcelona while workmen were 
hurrying toward their jobs. The government said most of the 
bombs hit in the river without causing any damage. 
Warplanes bombed the suburbs of Valencia for an hour before 
anti-aircraft guns drove them away. The bombs destroyed 
several buildings. The rebels reported an advance of several 
miles on the Tereul Sagunto front. Tanks, airplanes, artillery 
and infantry took part in the insurgent drive.

Manchukuo and Siberia meet and are bounded on the other side 
by the Pacific Ocean.

off a tour of Western Europe in order to handle negotiations 
concerning the border dispute. 
Japanese army officers threatened to attack the Red army 
detachment unless the Soviet government compelled the men to 
retire. The Tokyo government denied, however, that any ulti

army v/as moving up artillery to resist any attack by Japan 
or Manchukuo. One Japanese border patrolman was shot and 
killed when he approached the Russian fortifications
