contracts are I'm most cases so distributed

comfort Monday to the thousands of home
less ones there who made shift to shelter
themselves amid the ruins of their homes or
bivouacked in empty freight cars. But all
are struggling hopefully to better their sad
condition.
It is still too soon for any thought of re-
building the homes of the island poor. The
devastation was so terrible and complete
that this cannot come for some time, but
the business interests which have capital
behind them are on their feet and working
with all their might. This is manifest. and
somewhat relieves the otherwise forlorn
aspect of the situation.
