SPAIN CELEBRATES
END (IF THE CIVIL WAR STREET PARADE OF QUAINT EFFIGIES. RELIEF FOR DEMOBILISED MEN. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day. 9.55 a.m.) BURGOS. May 18. Two days’ celebrations, officially marking the end of the civil war, began this morning in all the provinces. Rocket-firing at 2 a.m. announced that the public holiday was here, after which, following a Spanish custom, quaint effigies, representing Ferdinand II and Isabella and the peoples of their dominions, paraded in carnival fashion through the streets, headed by dancers in period costume. A State “Gazette” publishes a decree providing relief for ex-service men and their families in the interval between demobilisation and the resumption of work.
