MADRID BOMBARDMENT
APPEAL BY LOYALISTS ANNIVERSARY RECALLED LONDON, May 3. The bombardment of Madrid continues daily. Loyalist airmen yesterday dropped leaflets over the rebel lines, warning Spaniards against serving foreign invaders. "To-day is the anniversary of May 2, 1808, when Madrid repelled the invasion of Napoleon's army," stated the leaflets. "Madrid's defenders are, in our camp. Dp with your hands. We await you."
ATTACK ON GUERNICA
ARMS TRADE CENTRE LEGITIMATE OBJECTIVE LONDON, May 3. Major Hugh Pollard, sporting editor of Country Life, in a letter to The Times, contends that the bombing of Guernica was not an attack on an unimportant civilian town. Guernica, he says, is almost as great ,a centre for the manufacture of small arms as Hibar. Small works outside the numerous main factories make arms, manufacturing the dominant industry of Vizcaya. Thus Eibar and Guernica were the legitimate objectives.
SINKING OF CRUISER POSSIBILITY OF MINE LONDON, May 3. The Vittoriu insurgent naval staff declares that the cruiser Espana was sunk by a mine, one of the many laid by rebel minelayers. The Times adds that information which has reached London indicates the possibility of the Espana striking a mine is not ruled out.
