crescent-shape across the fair Puritan
city by the second worst fire in New

ago was city, made their way among
piles of cruinpled brick ami catacombs

Perhaps the most extraordinary
part of this confagration is that only
six are so far reported dead. In some
almost miraculous way, he SICK,
crippled, and infrm seem to have
saved themselves from the fire as it
jumped first one way, then another,

The total property loss is set at
jS12 100000 and insurance company's
loss at s1O,OOO,0OO in today's Stand

fire. There has been confusion even
panic, but not the slightest sugges-
ton of rioting or lawlessness.

Constantnople had protested was re

thought that Ambassador Morgenthau

no instructions to protest, so it was sug-
