 Prove Helpless

Constantinople, Aug. 24 R-A huge fire in Scutari. the Asiatic suburb of Constantinople, famous in Byzantine history as Chalcedon, "The City of the Blind" has destroy ed the most picturesque and most Turkish district on the shores of the Bosporus.
 The fire which started last night destroyed about 400 old wooden lat ticed houses and drove 2,000 refugees to the famous Scutari cem- etary, celebrated for it's expresses. where they encamped.
 The refugees took shelter amid fallen tombstones and were supplied bread and water at the order of President Mustapha Renal who watched old Turkey burn from the Doloa Bagtche palace on the oppo- site shore
 New Turkeys modern fire en- zines could not combat with high northerly wind flaming the tinder- like houses. The fire chief and his aids became excited and rushed into the thick of the flames only to be incapacitated and sent to a hos pital leaving the firemen without directors.
 A hurry call brought the Con- stantinople fire force across the Bosporus, but there was so much excitement that they forgot to bring their hatchets and pumps. Finally military caterpillar tractors were called out to roll out and smother the flames.
 The loss was estimated at 1,000,- 900 liras.
 The origin of the fire was at tributed to an old woman trying to burn out wood bugs from the lat tices in the widows of her shack.
