LOST CHILDREN.
SPANISH MOTHERS’ QUEST. The civil war in Spain has robbed thousands of Spanish mothers of their children, who were lost when they had to flee devastated cities. Almeria, which received 100,000 refugees from Malaga when that city fell to the rebels, is filled with mothers searching for their children. Alnwia’s one newspaper has given over half its space to advertisements like the following:—“Has anyone seen Armonia Gonzales, aged three? She was wearing a red jersey and q white bib and was last seen on a militiaman’s horse on the night that Malaga was evacuated. Mother waits at refugee offices in Almeria.” On the 100 miles trek from Malaga, countless families became separated. Many may never meet again.
