interesting Description of the city
of Salonika, where Canadians
have been quartered
•
The modern city of Salonika has
in peace times a population of 100,,
000, .(and is, as many readere will
know the Thessaloniki of the Bible
At the present time there is a isome-
what greater population due of cour-
se to the War,
For 500 years ;prior to :the; ;Balkan.
war of 1912, Salonika was in the
Turkish Empire. 'Reface 'that period
the Greeks were the rulers, as they
have been since 1912.
!What the city is, like in peace
times, one can only conjecture. It has
a beautiful situation on the harbour
of the same name. The harbour :is.
of great extent and is land -locked
except,, of course, silt its • junction
with the Agean Sea. Like many other
things in Salonika the harbour has
been neglected of recent years, since
with a little attention it could be
made a herbal. of hundreds of
vessels. 1/4

the tucks captured the city, five hun-
dred years ago, they temporality des-

ques, by plastering over the inlay

restored to the ,Greeks they have.
removed a good deal of this plaster
and the work ds still going'' ono -Un-
fortunately the original beauty of
the arch:tee:ure has been impaired: as
a result of these processes.
The streets of Salonika are for the
most part, e_:trcmely narrow. In the
best residental sections, streets of
average widths are to be found, while
the portion of ublonastir •Road with-
in the city (lini:ts, is also of fair width
One of the best known thorough-
fares is Rue Venizelos, and on and
about this street are found the best
shops. Like many other eastern ;city
Solonika boasts a bazaar, ,which is
nothing ,more than roofed streets,the
shapes ;being all sorts and sizes,sonie
of them on the side streett& being no
more than six or eight feet wide, and

The ;types of articles for sale are
numerous if not more so, than the dif
ferent shops. Turkish lrubga, old and
new and probably some that have nev
er seen Turkey, hand worked table
covers, etc., of the various shapes
and colors, • brass and copper aware,
old altd new, are in profusion.

be prepared, (except in a few of the

Polog by assault and the whole of
Culse hill.
`After the Serbian success of Fri-
day
in the Tehake (Chuke) range,"
says Router's Salonica correspondent,
"the Bulgars, reinforced by fresh
troops, counter -attacked Friday
night and Saturday morning. The
Serbians easily stemmed the counter-
attacks, completed the capture of
Polog and made further progress
northward, pursuing the enemy and
capturing a thousand fresh prison-
ers including some Germans, and
eight howitzers, several machine
guns and a quantity of material.
"Since October 14 a total of 56
guns, including trench mortars,
were captured from the Bulgar-Ger-
inans."
Tice. French official report of Sat-
urday concerning operations on the
Macedonian front reads:
"Eastern army: On the left bank
of the +Cerna, the Serbians, taking,
the offensive, vigorously in the moun-
tainous region of Chuke, north of
Skochivir, attacked Bulgarian
forces and drove them back, not-
withstanding fierce resistance from
strongly fortified positions. Up to
now 500 prisoners, including ten of-
ficers, ten guns, and ten machine
guns,
shsae fallen into the hands of
our allies.
"On our left wing a lively artil-
lery duel continues. We repulsed
several enemy attempts at different ;
points on our front."
Negroes for France.
CAPE TOWN, Nov. 14. - Ten
thousand blacks have been recruited
for Iabor service in Europe, and are
about ready to depart. Their organ-
ization is to be a strictly military
one, and they will be subjected to
military discipline, although they
will not under any circumstances be
employed as a fighting force. They
have been formed into five battalions
of 2,000 men each, and will be under
the direct control of officers of the
Union of South Africa. They will be
housed in closed compounds, which
will be provided with everything re-
quisite for their comfort and well-
being. Native chaplains will be at-
tached to each battalion. The fiat
rate of pay for privates will be $15 a
month, with higher rates for those
of higher rank. While all the com-
missioned officers are, of course,
white, the sergeants, corporals, and
lance - corporals are chosen from
among the men themselves. Specifi-
cally, they will be employed in clock
labor at French ports. They will re-
ceive one-third of their pay while(
abroad, the balance to be handed to
them on their return to Cape Town.
