Thousands of Fascist and Carl- ist reserves poured into the front lines of the insurgent army, indicating a desperate attempt would be made to capture the city today.

The insurgent high command said the early bombardment of the city was the prelude to one of the biggest battles of the civil war. Four Fascist columns were aimed at the city, each assigned to cap- t'lre or.o ofcthe four' bridges giving access to the capital. A Socialist army, estimated at 25,000 strong, failed in an attempt to block a Fascist assault on the northwestern side of the capital. The raw "workers' army" broke and ran in a wild confused flight. The bark of rifle and revolver fire punctuated the roar of aerial and artillery bombardments of the capital where insurgent planes and guns dropped shells and bombs into the populated districts.

Military circles, laboring to hold the city from the Fascist assaults, said the bombardment was the heaviest of any capital in history.

Individual members who wish to take part probably will do so, but no plans had been made or will be made for Legion cooperation in the demonstration, he pointed out.

The Legion would be prevented from participating as a body in the demonstration, not only by the fact that it has been the custom in years past for the Legion to hold an informal ceremony and social gathering the evening of Armistice Day, but also because the parade, first organized as a political demonstration and later developed into a community observance, might retain enough of a political complexion to conflict with the strict principle of the Legion, not to participate in any political activities the local commander said. Saturday morning, it was announced that tentative plans for a Victory parade, following last Tuesday's election, had been altered to permit the procession to be transformed into a community ArmUtice Day parade in hojior of local veterans and that local groups had been invited to join. Plans for the parade call for the appearance of five local musical organizations, floats, mummers and marching groups from various parts of the county. The procession is set for 8 p. m.

The American Legion program at the Legion Home Wednesday evening will be informal, Mr. Shaffer said today. The program may include an Armistice Day address, the interchange of wartime reminiscence and a social evening.

Meanwhile, a delegation from the local Legion Post will attend a district membership rally at the Williamsport High School, when Homer L. Chiallaux, National Americanism chairman, will head the list of speakers, according to an announcement by Fred E. McEntire, district commander. Walter Kress, state commander, and Mark Tingley, central vice commander, will also attend, as well as delegations of Legion members from the posts of the 16th district.

MIXUP IN NAMES CAUSES LITTLE GIRL TO GET LOST Joan Cupp, 5, Clearfteld, now knows there are two Betty Full- mers in Lock Haven. Little Miss Cupp, visiting Miss Betty Fullmer, of Church Street, went to the drug store to get some candy. Becoming bewildered, she asked to be taken to the home of Betty Fullmer. She was directed to the residence of Miss Elizabeth Fullmer, West Main Street. On arrival the young miss declared this was not the right house because the place she was visiting had a swing on the porch.

Miss Fullmer, who is a teacher at Avis, at first thought her visitor might be a child from Avis, but on questioning Joan said she was from Clearfield. Finally, after police had been called, it was learned there was another Miss Betty Fullmer living on Church Street and the police returned the little girl to the right home.
