With

the
date

Some
of
the
non-intervention
countries
have
made
provision
for
lon-g
Jail
terms
on
their
nationals
who
enlist
in
foreign
forces.
Ger
many
on
Saturday
passed
a
decree
refusing
to
permit
any
of
her
nationals
to
go
to
Spain.
Prior
to
the
deadline
of
the
blockade,
there
was
a
rush
of
foreign
volunteers
towards
Spian
where
there
are
known
to
be
thousands
foreigners
fighting
on
either
side.
One
.of
.these
Bert
Levy,
a
Socialist
leader
from
Windsor,
Ont.,
where
he
has
a
wife
and
16-year
old
daughter,
was
reported
Satur
day
to
have
been
taken
prisoner
by
the
rebels.
He
had
been
In
England
seeking
to
regain
his
health
and
enlisted
with
the
Spanish
loyalist
forces
as
4.truck-4Etiej,9iVarrJval
In
Spain,
however,
a
gun
was
thrust
into
his
hands
and
he
Was
sent
to
fight
in
the
field.
After
two
days
he
was
captured.
It
was
reported
Saturday

that
thousands

were
engaged
In
hand
to
hand
fighting
along
the
Madrid-Valencia
road
In
the
biggest
battle
so
far
In
the
civil
war.
A
heavy
barrage
had
almost
Isolated
the
stricken
capital
city
on
all
sides.
Casualties
are
believed
to
have
been
heavy.
Both
Insurgents
and
loyalists
report
having
made
advances
as
a
result
of
the
heavy
fighting
but
an
impartial
opinion
ls
that
neither
side
has
made
much
progress.
