100,000, REFUGEES ON FLIGHT FROM TERROR OF MALAGA EYE-WITNESS TELLS OF HORROR

The bombing of Almeria, Spain, and the terrible 100-mile flight of 100,000 refugees from besieged Malaga before it fell to the Spanish rebels are described vividly in the following despatch written exclusively for the United Press by the first He is witness of both avents to come out of the war zone. Dr. Norman Bethune, Montreal surgeon and head of the Spanish-American Blood Transfusion Instituto in Madrid.

By Dr. Norman Bethune

Paris, Mar. 5.

One hundred thousand refugees fled Malaga to Almeria, Spain, only to be bombed by rebel planes in an attack that was, in my opinion, a deliberate attempt to slaughter a defenceless population.

As if the terrible torture of their exodus was not enough, they were treated to the most horrible experience conceivable, Ten thousand children under 10 years old had been removed from Malaga. Hundreds died from hunger and cold during the long flight. Thousands crept forward ahead of a fleeing army with bloody rags on their feet;

Amidst this confusion and terrible overcrowding, the rebels bombed the

city.

"The planes roared over at 7:30 pn., when the exhausted refugees were attempting to rest. There was a loyal cruiser in the harbour and large troop detachment holding the barracks. But the huge warplanes disregarded these milltary objectives and droned toward the heart of the elly.

30 SECONDS WARNING

I estimated there were at least 10,000 children under 10 among the refugees.

Men, women and children were in- sane from fear. They had been shelled from the sea and bombed from the air for three days, having left Malaga only the day before its occupation.

Why did the refugees dee Malaga? That bombing was one of the rea- cons. The people knew what to ex- pect. I talked with hundreds during those days and all told me that when rebels entered any town they shot all males between 10 and 60 with out distinction. They insisted that news of court trials preceding execu- tions was pure fabrication. They said they had seen their own families and shot down by Moors, Italians Germans.

DESERTED CITY Malaga was deserted when the rebels marched in.

Everyone walking had feet swollen to double their normal size. The old had given up and lay along the road in complete exhaustion, awalting death. Some children unable to walk by mothers or men. were carried Others luy inert by the road.

Antiseptic

DENTIFRICE and MOUTH WASH

On your brush Vince looks and is used like any other dentifrice. But in your mouth in contact with moisture, thousands of tiny bubbles, of oxygen are released in a pleasant, antiseptic cleansing action which reaches every part of your mouth.

For a mouth wash and gargle, about a teaspoonful of Vince is placed in a glass of lukewarm water. Rinsing the mouth vigorously and gargling with this solution aids in clearing away accumulations of sticky mucus and the fine bubbles of oxygen act as deodorizing agent, leaving the mouth in truly clean,, sweet and hygienic condition.
