Some OF the little forms were a.
most consumed by the blast that
swept quickly thru the portion of
the nunnery used for wounded
soldiers and for homeless children.
X-ray Was Cause
An investigation today proved that
the fire was caused when a wire
leading TO an x.ray machine came
in contact with a floor. Loss to
the building is estimated at s125 900.
Military authorities lost medical APP

When firemen arrived to battle
with the flames. soldiers were al

baby after baby to each other down

soldiers were seen TO have as many
as four children in their arms at one
time.
II was only after orders OF the
fire chief that soldiers stopped en-
