Aid Planned for 70000 Saloniki War Sufferers by U S Red Cross
The American Red Cross and allied forces operate large relief camps near Saloniki sheltering 70000 war victims. Dr Edward W Ryan started soup kitchens during the fire and within hours fed 2500 people. Nurses and boy scouts care for infants and the camps report very low sickness and no child deaths. The winter risk looms as tents prove uninhabitable. Nearby Lancaster counts obituaries for Ada Tinsley Preston Hannum and Sarah Keller with brief death notes.
