TREMENIIUIJS ARMAMENTS

Huge Expenditure Re- vealed By League as Nations Feverishly Rearm.

GENEVA, Oct. 23——(AP) -- The rcarnmment race among the na- tion. of the world, League of Na- tions experts estbnated today, brought forth an expenditure of s9,205,o00,c00 in l935—$5,000.000,000 in terms of prc devaluation money.

The Irague officials made their calculation coincidental with pub- licatlon of the League's armament yearbook for i935, which showed a tremendous increase in world arma- ments but did not include detail- ed iigures for Germany. The year- book said accurate data on Ger- many was not obtainable.

The armament expenditure esti~ mated by the League experts com- pared with $7,436,000,000 ($4,400,- 000,000 pro-devaluation) in 1933 and 8281,000,000 ($4,900,000.000 pro-de- valuation) in 1934.

Increases in armaments were strikingly illustrated in the total world tonnage of navies. Warships built or being built in 1935 ag- gregated 6,l.'l0,000 tons, compared with 5,830,000 tons in 1934.

Soviet Russia's nrrned force was placed at 1,300,000, the largest oi any nation, It included army, navy and air-force. In addition, the Lea- gue publication stated, the army

ROME. Oct. 24—(Saturday) —- (AP)—Concerted action by Italy, Germany and Portugal for non- recognition of any Leftist Gov- ernment in Spain 1f the Insur- gents take Madrid was pre- dicted early today by informed persons.

The Joint move would come as the result of Portugal's sever- ance of diplomatic relations with Redrid, announced in Lisbon last night, and the conversations between Italian Foreign Min- ister Galeazzo Ciano and Ger- man officials which resulted in an Italo-German accord in Berlin, it was said.

After Rome and Berlin have Joined‘ Portugal in splitting with Madrid, informed sources de-

' clared, the three nations prob- ably will make formal declara- tions refusing to recognize any Leftist Government in Madrid as now constituted or any-

where else in Spain-for in- stance. in Barcelona.

ON MADRID BATTLEFRONTS, Oct. 23 — (AP) - Insurgent war- planes -“Blackbirds oi’ Death" — strafed terrified Madrid today.

Three times within 12 hours and a half dozen planes, in neat forma- tion. dived on the city and spattered buildings and streets with" their machine-gun bullets.

The populace, mainly women and children, dashed wildly through the streets seeking shelter in base- ments while richocheting bullets whinedpast their heads.

All able bodied men were at the front, trying to keep the swiftly moving Insurgent advance from driving closer to their homes and families. _

At Mostoles, west of Madrid, the trained Insurgents steadily were pressing the Government lines within l0 miles of the capital.

If the main purpose of the In- surgent air raid was to have in- stifled fear into the civilian pop- ulace, it was accomplished.

Urges National Baptist Body

MONTREAL, Oct._ 23 -— (GP) — Formation oi a National Baptist organization was urged upon the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec by Dr. Frank Orchard of Amherst, NS, today.

The Canadian Baptist Church was the only denomination in Canada without a Dominion bod)’ and action it took in important

matters "lacked strength" as a re- sult, he said -

first on any European capitol since the Great War-caused tension to- night among the populace as In- surgent lines tightened around the city. . The newspaper Claridad declared it believed the machine-gun at- tacks from the air were "ominous warnings of worse attacks to come" and urged the people to "stand by, for an onslaught on Madrid is imminent."

The Insurgent planes, varying in

number from two to four in the‘

assaults, swooped low over Mad- rid and poured machinegun bui- lcts on the city.

Persistent rumors criculated that the Insurgents had issued a. warn- ing they . would bombard Madrid from the air Sunday as part oi their attempt to crush Government resistance.

Government sources said they be- lieved the Insurgents hoped to ‘ake the capital before the situation con- fronting the Non-Inmrcvention Corn- mittcc in London "has had time to come to a head.”

The Insurgents occupied the town of Novas dcl Marques, about 35 miles west 0i Madrid. where an al- most isolated body of Government soldiers had been holding out.

Old men and boys not at the front attempted to fight off the planes with anti-aircraft fire. but their efforts were in vain.

No attempt was made by the at- tacking aviators to bomb the city. Observers thought their raids to- night might have been merely pre- liminary visits, and that the bomb- ing would ccme later.

Several light bombs plopped near Cuatro Vlentos airport on the out- skirts of Madrid, but did no ap- preciable damage, Government

planes housed in the hangars did not take to the air against the in- vaders.
