town has become a jumping-off place

Thrace. Twenty-eight thousand panic

Turk that swayed the refugee crowds
in Smyrna three weeks ago.
Everybody believes the Turks are
almost at the door. and nothing can
reassure them. The general belief Is
that the kemalists will arrive stimuli

occupation, and every refugee hopes
to put a long stretch of water between
himself and Rodosto before that event

FLEE TO BULGARIA.
Edles From Thrace Complain o1
Being Robbed on Frontier.

By the Associated Press
PHILIPPOPOLIS. Bulgaria, october
1S.-Within the last six days this city
has become great refugee center.
The flood of exiles from eastern
Thrace suddenly began last Friday.
and since then the stream has been
continuous.
The arrivals are principally Ar
menians. who fled in panic at the first
news of the impending return Of the
Turks. Many were robbed en- route
by Thracian bandits. and few have
more than sufficient supplies for two
or three days. A hastily organized
relief committee, composed mainly Of
local Americans and Armenians. has
sent an urgent appeal to CONSTANT
nople for aid from the Near East Re
lief and the American Red Cross.
,, Many of the refugees complain
that they were held up by comitadjis.
or Bulgarian irregular bands, at the
frontier. where they say everything
above the value of 800 was con-
fiscated, but this difficulty apparently
has disappeared in the last two days.
The influx appears likely to con-
tinue for a considerable time. but the
plight of the outcasts is dubious, as
no employment Is available here, the
local food stocks are very low and
the city Is already greatly congested
with Russian and other refugees. The
new arrivals are being forced to live
in the open fields.

out of business.
The second building in the view was
a one story frame building used as a
real estate and insurance office. 1t
was occupied by Orrin T. WeIch and
the Pioneer Insurance company.
The next building served also as a
land office. The firm or Bartholo-

business was purchased by Daniel w.

A clothing store was housed in the
sixth building but old timers do not

Millinery rooms were conducted in
the two story frame structure next

A large clothing store using two
