The Chicago Tribune published Jay Allen‘s famous account of the Massacre of Badajoz. “Eighteen hundred men – there were women too – were mowed down there in some twelve hours”, Allen reported. “There is more blood than you would think in 1,800 bodies.”

USS Kane (DD-235)

The destroyer USS Kane which was in Spanish waters assisting in the evacuation of American nationals, was attacked by an unidentified aircraft. A total of six bombs were dropped which landed near the ship but did no damage, and the Kanereplied with anti-aircraft fire in the direction of the plane. The United States sent protests to both sides in the civil war. The U.S. State Department said the altercation was probably a case of mistaken identity, even though the Kane was clearly flying the American flag.

President Roosevelt made one of his few foreign policy statements of the election campaign in Chautauqua, New York. “We shun political commitments which might entangle us in foreign wars”, the president said. “We avoid connection with the political activities of the League of Nations … I hate war.

Have a ride with Mr. Moore (Payton Meat Co.) to Van Horn this afternoon. Am reading ‘Goya” by Schneider – Rather like it.  Finished ‘Winding Lane’ by Phillip Gibbs and A Story of Henry VIII ‘The King Rides’ or something like that, last week.  Have discovered I like P.E. Wadehouse better than Benchley as a steady diet.  Got home about 6 p.m. The family was expecting me on the train – Fooled ’em!

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today

Two days before the Summer Olympics were set to start in Berlin, Ernest L. Jahncke of the United States became the first person ever expelled from the International Olympic Committee. He was removed for his outspoken opposition to holding the Olympics in Germany.

Twelve Italian bomber planes, their markings and numbers painted over, took off from Sardinia heading for Spanish Morocco where they were to join the Nationalist side under the banner of the Spanish Legion. Nine completed the flight but one crashed at sea and two were forced down on the French side of the Moroccan border. Italian military markings still visible under the fresh paint, as well as documentation that French authorities found aboard the planes, exposed the Italian scheme. The next day, newspapers around the world published the revelation that Italy was providing military assistance to the rebels.
