Senor Pi’ieto advises the! women to stai’t making warm clothes for the militiamen. He says: “Women are not needed at the front, where there is an abundance of man-powe'r. We lack a welloi’ganised rearguard to back up the militiamen with -supplies and clothing for the cold weathei’. ”
The fighting continues at Oviedo, where the rebels are showing a surprising resistance. Well-placed artillery and ma-chine-guns halted the miners before they w r ere able to make effective use of dynamite. If Oviedo falls, the victory will enable a thousand miners to reinforce the troops striving against the Moorish advance at Eatremadura.
