THE FRONTIER CAMPS
HORDE OF REFUGEES BEHIND BARBED WIRE Received Feb. 10, 5.5 p.m. PERPIGNAN, Feb. 9. The frontier refuge camps present a spectacle of misery. Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children are spread over a huge sand dune area behind barbed wire, patrolled by Senegalese mobile guards. Here and there children are seen hobbling on improvisd crutches. Old men and many of the wounded are huddled around camp fires in the bitter cold, while others are scouring the countryisde in searen of firewood. Babies are rocked in arms of weary mothers crying for food. The badly wounded are groaning and appealing for doctors. Distraut women are searching for missing Husbands and children.
