Where East Meets West. A view of the port of Salonica, one of the most polygot cities of the world today. Here the Allied armies of the Orient are gathered and here also have fled thousands of refugee from every land in the Near East. During the war a $100,000,000 fire devastated half the city and brought about an indescribable condition of crowding and disease. By nature of its geographic position it was chosen by the American Red Cross as a base for its Balkan operations but the American Relief Organization found no greater need for its services than right here in this city
