Better Weather May Lead To Resumed Fighting Saragossa, Oct. 30.
After a week of rain, which temporarily quenched General Franco's offensive, sunshine returned today on the Ebro front, and conditions are now again more favourable for operations. The Ebro battle has now lasted three months, and the Nationalists calculate {that the Republican casualty list is nearing 90,000.
The only activity last week occurred south of Madrid, where both sides accused each other of having taken the offensive and having been repulsed.
The Nationalists attribute this fighting partly to the desire of the Republicans to test the opposing strength in certain sectors and partly to nervousness caused by a series of Nationalist communiques which usually heralded large-scale offensives.—Reuter.
