With the quashing of the Anarchist riots and the formation of the more efficient Negrin Government at Valencia, a drastic effort was made to get Barcelona to bear its share of the fighting. Up from Valencia to take control of Barcelona's military came greying, hard-bitten General Sebastian Pozas, ordered to instill a little efficiency into the Barcelona Government and to try to get a few Catalan soldiers into the trenches. Last week came startling news: General Pozas had finally taken the field at the head of a new army of 200,000 Catalans, and some...

Once again the Leftists launched counteroffensives of some consequence, and the one against Rightist positions in Huesca was still battering away last week. Anarchists at last had a Spanish war legend worthy of the highest traditions of Anarchism.
