Children In SalonikI Buried In Ruins.
Soldiers Die In Barracks

Athens, April 2O.--(By A. Pad
vices from Salonika today report great
loss of life as result of an explosion
Of war material stored 200 meters from
the Saloniki railway station. Hundreds
Of children were buried in the ruins
Of a church on which shells fell, and
1t was believed 1900 soldiers were buried
in the ruins of their barracks which
were demolished.
The disaster occurred Mt noon ycster-
day. Details of the damage and the
number Of victims are lacking, but the
despatch received here said 1t was
known that the death toll was large.
The soldiers were having dinner when
their barracks were destroyed, and
large number are known to have been
killed. The railway station was de-
molished. Fires Immediately broke out
in several places, and the Inhabitants
fled in panic as the entire town was
endangered.
The similarity of the foregoiong
despatch to one from Belgrade yester.
day, which reported IN explosion at
Monastir, in the Southern part of Old
Siberia, when an ammunition dump
blew up. makes it seem possible that
both relate to the same disaster. Mon
astir is about eighty miles northwest
