WOUNDED FROM SPAIN
MANY REFUSED ADMISSION TO FRANCE LONG WAIT AT FRONTIER. SOME BRITISH SUBJECTS IN PARTY. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.40 p.m.) LONDON, October 31. . The “Daily Herald’s” Cerberes correspondent says acting on M. Sarraut’s orders the Mobile Guard prevented 368 wounded members of the International Brigade from Spain entering France, after they had stood without food at the station for six hours, but after a trunk call to Paris eighty-six persons,who proved to be of French nationality were allowed to cross the frontier. The Government will not bear the cost of hospital expenses. Others are being provided with travelling expenses. The remainder were ordered back to the train, those slightly wounded carrying those severely wounded on stretchers. Nine British subjects and some Americans and Canadians were among them. Frank Lewis, of Liverpool, said: “They are sending us back through Barcelona. The doctors are crazy with overwork and we have got to lie in hospital and listen to bombers overhead. I shall see that my Government gets me out.”
