MADRID, July 22—(C.P.-Havas)—The Spanish gov- ernment, fighting desperately on all fronts to prevent re- bel troops from reaching this capital, announced tonight that loyal forces had recaptured La Linea, near Gibraltar, and had ousted all insurgents from the vicinity of Madrid.

to “liberate Spain.”)

A serious shortage of gasoline in the capital was re- vealed tonight when the newly organized trade union committee practically commandeered the entire supply for use of the fighting forces.

Rumors that Guadalajara had been completely destroyed in heavy fighting were officially denied here. The civil governor of the city, imprisoned by rebels, was freed when the city was recap- tured, it was stated.

—- CANAL DU NOIID —

When Canada's 6,000 pilgrims, en route to Virny Ridge arrive over this week-end at Arras ihey will be at the gateway of. an area hallowed by the mem- ory of great and brave deeds.‘ Should they travel for 16 miles south-east down the road which loads as straight as an arrow from Arras to Cambrai, they will come to the Canal du Nord; and there memory will compel a halt, for it was at this waterway Canadians achieved one o.‘ the most brilliant tests of the Great War. on Bept. 2'7, i918. In that and sulbsequont actions leading up to the cap- ture of Cambrai, nine Canadians won the Victoria Cross.

The days of open warfare had come: attacking troops moved on distant dbjectives and not infrequently small groups operated on their own. isolated from their larger commands. In two such operations Lieut. G. T. Lyali. lodnd (Central (xi- tario) Baiinlion achieved the extraoridnary feats of captur- ing not is: than three officers. 1 other ranks, 28 machine guns and one field gim. They were not singlehanded actions. but

in them Lyall led his small and somewhat isolated command with such magnificent dash that this amazing result was accomplished.

All through the piece there was a certain similarity about the affrays in which Canadian youths stood out from their fellows, actions to perform which demanded the suprenie in physical and moral bravery. Lieut. M. F. Gregg, Th-e Royal Canadian Regiment, dragging his seriously-wounded body from shell hole to shell hole. organizing resistance and at- tack, eliminating assailants and capturing others; Sargent W. Merrlfleld, 4th (Central Ontario) Battalion standing on B'ec0'urt Ridge, north of Cmnbrni, with his Lewis gun, facing alone the advancing hordes, such are the stories of there epic days.

Lleut. 3. L. Honey, lath (Manitoba) Battalion; Irieut. G. F. Kerr, aid (Toronto) Battalion-, Capt. J. 0. Mac- Clregor. and Canadian Mounted miles; Capt. C. N. Mitchell, mi Canadian Engineers; Lieut. W. L. Algis, aotn (Central Ontario) Battalion; and sergt. Hugh Cairns, Adih (8a.sl:otch- swan) Battalion were all heroes whose names were added to the simoll of the Victoria cross in the last Hundred Days oi the war.

YESTERDAY

Instructive Papers On “Adult Education” and “Rural Prob- lems and Projects” Delivered By Dr. Murphy and Dr. Croteau.

Education was the “intelligent solution” to Prince Edward Island's many peculiar and pressing prob- lems, Rev. Dr. J. A. Murphy, rec- tor of St. Dunstan’s Univernty. Gharlotietown, told a. rural parish rally yesterday.

The province's immediate need was education, the speaker said, be- cause practically all problems could be solved by "educating the people to meet them with understanding and optimism."

Dr. Murphy continued:

"'lkie great majority of people re- gard education as a sort of episode in a man's life, an episode that ter- minates when he has garduated from school or college or university. This notion is entirely erroneous."

The university head stated that

whether education was regarded fncm the point of View of earning a living or of enjoying the better things of life, it had to be sustain- ed if it were to be a life-long suc- cue. The rally yesterday was held in two sections, one at at. Peter's Bay and one at Tignish, with a large attendance of rural parishioners at both centres.

Bishop J. A. O'Sullivan oi Char- lottetown celebrated high mass at st. Peter's yesterday. marking the opening of the rally. A sermon was preached by Rev. A. L. sinnott. Rollo Bay.

At a conference on parish activi- ties, presided over by Rev. A. Mc- Aulay. St. Peter's, a report on dis- trict Cathechlsm was submitted by Rev. M. J. Rooney of Cardigan. Reports of Haly Name Society acti- vities were furnished by W. 3. Mc- Intyre, st. Coluinba; H. J. Hynm, Montague; and J. A. MacDonald. Gleniln-nan.

Roosevelt All i: hors In Tuskot River

By D. Harold Oliver, Associated Press Stair Writer (By Gu.ardlan’s special Wire)

ABOARD SCHOONER. LIBERTY, oil wedgeport, N. 5., July 21-A 30- mile run that required eight hours of sailing from lower Wood Harbor brought President Roosevelt to a sheltered anchorage aboard the schooner Sewanna tonight in the Tusket River off Wedgeport, south- west Nova scotia.

Favored by wind and tide, the sturdy little vacation craft with the President, three sons and a brother- in-law aboard, made the first half of the joumey along the eastern shore of the Bay of Fundy in two hours.

Then the wind died down and the Sewaiina was practically becalmed. It Just leafed along the rest of the way.

On the way up the Tusket River between a group of small islands, the Scwanna and her escort craft passed a little fishing vessel which had just hauled in a 100-pound tuna. The President was anxious to catch one himself; but he prob- ably will wait until he gets off Yar- mouth before utilizing his deep-sea tackle.
