"REFUGEES FLEE INTO FRANCE. -- These are the first photographs -- by air yesterday -- of the great army of Spanish refugees that is pouring over the Pyrenees frontier into France. While Franco troops continue their advance, men, women, and children are thronging every road -- on foot, in mule carts, wagons, and lorries. Troops and Mobile Guards have been sent to marshal them and provide them with food. "
