The camp bound British Tommy. like every one else. Is forced to bargain for his purchases from the sidewalk, a pro ceeding which does not improve the already badly jumbled traffic arrange. ments, At the bakeries there is all ways mob of clamoring humanity struggling for the chance to buy the round. fiat loaves of black bread made with fourth grade four, the only flour available. of which there is never enough to supply the current daily needs of the inhabitants of Saloniki. the refugees and the Greek army. The foreigners bring their own food with them. If they did not they would run serious risks of starvation.
 At every crossroad the returning Tommy loses himself in a dense crowd of Greek soldiers. so slight in compari- son with the stocky. deep chested French. so diminutive in comparison with the tall. wiry British. The Greeks seem to bc gathered just where the foreign soldiers must pass in going to and from camp Whether the purpose be to give the Greeks an object lesson in soldierly bearing or to impress the allies with the number of Greeks Is not clear.

Content to Leave Gallipoli.

Whatever they are. they are beyond
 any doubt content to leave Gallipoli The climate of Saloniki is nothing to beast of Ut this season. It rains every day. The rough, badly paved streets are muddy and full of chuck holes The roads-such as they are-are knee deep in mud Flour is scarce. and the food is bad and dear. The price of ev- erything has gone up three times since tAe arrival of the foreign troops. A litish sovereign, for tue first time in lts life in bankrupt country like ! Greece is worth less than Its face val ue in local money. While French is fairly current as language. English
 not spoken at all. Yet. despite all
 of these material drawbacks. the Brit kh Tommy in his camp outside Saloni- kl Is SC delighted to escape the thirst and the stenches of Gallipoli that he

Unending Acres of Tents.

Unendlng Acres of Tents.
 Finally the tent city appears, seem ing to cover intending acres of hill tops. The road and stream separate the French from the British Along the stream tue British Tommies kneel, washing their clothes against the rocks as any French washwoman might. Where the stream trickles over five foot rock. making meager waterfall, number of men, stark in the chill air. are bathing Halfway up a slope squad of signalmen are doing drill. The Tapping of their flags in the sharp wind can be heard in the valley like volley of faraway rife shots. Be low them company is lined up for in- spection, each mans roll spread out on the grass, while the sergeant goes through the equipment to see that all is there, for the Greeks say that thirsty Tommy sometimes parts with his water bottle or his extra pair of shoes fin return for refreshments.
 Against the sky on the hilltop a squad of men are going through the exercises ''to keep the beggars fit," the officer says. Down valley between two knolls swings a company return ing from route march. They might be at Aldershot. They turn out to pass a hollow where half dozen men are cursing earnestly over the vagaries of four sheet iron boxes cunningly put to- gcther in n compact square to form a very successful stove. whence comes the smell of roasting mutton. Near at hand, before the butchers tent, line of new killed hogs, hung up by the heels, are dripping still.
 From time to time smart officers, with red tabs on their collars, to in. dicate that they belong to the staff. plunge over the edge of a miniature cliff toward the camp stable, where the horses are picketed in the open. As they ride off toward the outlying hills they pass through cloud of acrid smoke coming from sort of cairn in which the camp refuse is burning.
 Red Cross Hospital.
 Atop of one bill is fagpole with the flag of the Red Cross, the camp hospital, presided over by a gray med ical colonel of gentle manners and an air of wonder and bewilderment at finding himself so far away from Eng land in so strange n land. His baili wick is marked out by line of stones in rows on the hillside, as children playing at housekeeping mark the walls of the rooms. Within these bounds arc medical tents, hospital tents, dispensary. operating tents-all the paraphernalia of caring for the sick and wounded.
 On the opposite hill are the staff tents. with a stamp on the canvas that shows them to be from India. If there are not enough benches for officers and guest some one sits on an upturned box. The food is largely tinned-the their own soldiers, much less the for, eisner on their soil.
 Every day more transports arrive. pouring ou, their soldiers-Greek French. British. Horses. kicking help lessly. are lifted bodily from the en. trails of the ship. Wagons, cannon. ammunition cases. stores-all clutter the quays.
