Details were still meagre here as to how the keystone in the 1min‘- gent threat to Madrid's coastal communicntlotis was tlnally taken.

What the victory tncaut. at the outset of o. winter which ts likely to halt major fighting for several months to come, is best judged from Terriers geographic location. The city lies at. the southernmost point of what was fonnerly a deep Insurgent salient into Government territory, 140 miles due east of Madrid and only 65 miles from the Mediterranean.
