known to have lost their lives in the
fire that swept through the west wing
of the Grey Nun ASYLUM here
Firemen have taken 4B blackened
little bodies from the ruins Twelve
more have been sighted.
1t is feared that the death list will
reach at least 20, for the work of

not been completed.
The wing was occupied partly by
returned wounded soldiers and partly
by the orphaned children. All of the
soldiers, about 200, are believed to
have escaped the flames Inmates of
the other parts of the building, includ-
ing nuns. aged, sick or crippled men
and women to the number of more
than thousand were saved.
Cut of by Flames.
The children were housed in that
section of the building where the fire
started and the flames spread so rap
idly It was impossible to rescue
them.
When the flames were discovered
in the west wing the alarm was
quickly given and all those able to
help themselves fed to places Of
safety. The heroic nuns and nursing
sisters strove valiantly to save the
sick and wounded as well as the in
fants under their charge.
The ages of the inmates of the
nunnery ranged from two or three
days to almost a hundred years.
Many of the infants who died in the
fire and smoke were only few days
or a few weeks old.
The elderly inmates were housed
in another section of the nunnery,
and were not Immediately menaced
by the flames.
