WOMEN HOSTAGES

LIBERATED IN SPAIN. Success of Exchange Plans Of Red Cross. BRITISH NAVY'S PART. British Official Wireless. (Received 12.30 p.m.) RUGBY, October 12. There is considerable satisfaction in London at the news of the part played by British ships and British Consular authorities in what appears to be the first important concession to the -humanitarian feelings of the outside world yet made in the Spanish civil war. Women hostages have been released for exchange both by the insurgent authorities at Burgos and Basque authorities at Bilbao. Warships provided means of transport, and the British Consul at Bilbao was given valuable help by Dr. Junod, representative of the International Red Cross, to whose untiring efforts the successful outcome of the negotiations for exchange are almost entirely due. The Polish Government conveyed thanks to the British Government for assistance rendered by the British Navy to Polish nationals in Spain.
