ceal the traces of their alleged

Of the property loss from the fire,
the total Of which Is estimated In
Greek quarters at one billion
francs, about $4,000. 900. at pros
emit exchange rates for the French

onies at Smyrna and notable
Americans arriving here on the
destroyer SImson which also
brought United States Consul Gen.

tron OF the American girls college

non.commissioned officer, Of the
Turkish regular army enter a
house carrying several cans of
petrol. Soon after he came out Of
the house It burst into flames.
Fire appeared in other sections
Of the town, even near the, Turk
ish quarter. This was the first
day OF Turkish occupation. A
southeasterly wind drove the
flames west, the Turkish quarter
escaping untouched.

marked by large white rock placed
by the Historical Society of Berks
