New Nationalist Drive

Hendaye, Oct. 14.

A new Nationalist drive appeared probable today as General Francisco Franco moved strong new forces to ihe Ebro-Segre front.

Fifteen thousand fighting Moors arrived from Africa last week to join the Nationalist leader, it was learned from authoritative sources. Nationalist officials, however, refused to comment on the reports of the arrival of the Moors.

The Republicans apparently mee not concerned over the reports and said they forced the Nationalists farther into the hills, taking several important fortifications in counterattacks. The Nationalist, however, re futed this, saying that they had capiwret several important points in the hills in a long battle fought in intense heat and that they had also killed 350 Republicans.—United Press.
