In the midst of this desert of ashes the stern realities of the war incessant activity and alongsidecompel the ruin is the roar of the vast preparation of the army of the orient one of the vital links in the chain encircling the central powers The report circulated in America that Saloniki was set on fire by the enemy as a military maneuver against General Sarrall's army Is groundless The fire started in a small way from using coal oil In a stove In the poor quarter A fierce gale did the rest scattering cinders over the town until It was ablaze from end to end Will Slay Ilarned The indications are Saloniki will stay burned until after the war There is talk that the Americans are coming to rebuild It The city accepts the report as true and is talking of what American money and enterprise will do The proprietor of the Continental lioteL which has been burned told me the contract had been signed for American reconstruction But Consul General Horton says It is all talk so far nnl has assumed no definite form The Greek government expects to do the rebuilding but lacks the money for such a task Meantime a great army headquarters must be carried on amid the ashes and the
