After raging furiously for over a fortnight the "Battle of Madrid" simmered down last week to a peevish interchange of inconsequent bombardments. The great Leftist offensive launched "to raise the Siege of Madrid" (TIME, July 26 et seq.) had been broken by the Rightists at Brunete and not a single structure stood last week in that shattered spearhead of the Madrid defenders' advance. As pretty, Polish Mile. Gerda Taro, 25, was taking pictures for LIFE and footage for the MARCH OF TIME of the retreat from Brunete she was killed...
...British Protectorate. The suzerainty of Turkey over Egypt is thus terminated." After the War the British puppetized on the throne of Egypt as "Sultan" the father of today's Boy-King, His Late Majesty Fuad I, who in his declining years was styled "King" (TIME, May 11, 1936 et ante). Last week, however, big-boned, fair and six-foot-tall Farouk I was correctly hailed by Egyptian dignitaries representing his 16,000,000 subjects as "The first Sovereign invested as King of modern Egypt, the Senior Arab Kingdom...
...treaty granted Egypt the status of an "Independent Sovereign State." excepting that the Sudan was entirely reserved to Britain, and her garrisons remained quartered throughout Egypt.

Toothy Mr. Yin, who looks most of the time like a startled rabbit, is a Chinese with a potent Japanese in-law who became a "general" overnight by so styling himself, and by the grace of Japanese bayonets. He was ruling uneventfully last week in his strategic bailiwick which...
Like California, many U. S. States permit a paying passenger to recover for auto injuries caused by a driver's negligence, but limit non-paying passenger or guest recoveries to cases where the driver was grossly negligent or drunk. In both Walker v. Adamson and McCann v. Hoffman et al, the injured passengers had shared or were expected to share in the expenses of the trip. But, said California's Supreme Court, where the parties are ''engaged on a business venture for their mutual advantage," then sharing expenses makes a guest a paying passenger; whereas, when...
