Saloniki, Greece, Nov. 30—The cadhp of the Bri Mediterranean Expeditionary Force lies to the west of Saloniki—or Thesaloniki the Greeks have it—amerg the ' rolling foothills of Mount Kortchou. - Al though a very comsiderable force has already left for Doiran, on the Serbo- Bulgarian frontier, there are still some 11,000 men gathered in the camp. The first lot of British troops landed in Greece were Irisk, as the command- ing officers, General Bryan Mahan, is Irish. They were what was left of the Irish division sent out to Galli- poli, whence they came on to Salon- iki- But, as the general told The As- 1S sociated Press. as they were.” “Not,” she added, “that they are any less Irish— only there are fewer of them.” For a great many were killed, wounded and tak- en prisaners in Gallipoli, and have been replaced by what material was at hand. Rain Every Day. Whatever they are, they are beyond any doubt content to leave Gallipoli. The climate of Saloniki is nothing to boast of at this season. It rains every day. The rough, badly paved streets are muddy and full of chuck holes. The roads—such as they are—are knee-deep in mud. Flour is scarce and the food is bad and dear. The price of everyvthing has gone up thre times since the rival of the foreign troops. A British sovereign, for the first time in its life in a bank- rupt country like Greece, is worth Jess than its face value in local money. While French is fairly current as a language, English is not spoken at all. | material | | fooa Yet despite all of these drawbacks, the British Tommy in his ¢ camp-bound {always a mob of clamoring humanity | round, | only camp outside Saloniki is so delighted | to escape the heat, the flies, the un- slated thirst and the stenches of Gal- lipoli that he finds Macedonia a sort of paradise by comparison.

As they ride off toward the outlying hills they pass through a clout of acrid smoke coming from & sort of cairn in which the camp rifuse is burning. A top of one hill is a flag pole with the flag of the Red Cross—the camp hospital, presided over by a gray medi- cal colonel of gentle manners and an air of wonder and bewilderment finding himself so far away Ingland in so strange a land. His bailiwick is marked out by a line of stones in rows on the hillside, as chil- dren playing at housekeeping, mark the walls of the rooms. Within bounds, are medical tents, hos- pital tents, dispensary, operating tents | —all the paraphernalia of caring for | the sick and wounded. Staff Tents From India. On the opopsite hill are the staff | tents, with a stamp on the canvas that | shows them to bhe from India. If | there are not enough benches for offi- | cers and guest, someone sits on one upturned box. The food is largely tinned—the Greeks have scarcely enough to supply their own soldiers, much less the forcigner on their sofl. Every day more transports arrive pouring out their soldiers—Greek French, British. Horses, kicking help- | trails of the ships. ammunition cases, Wagons, cannon, stores—all clutter at | trom | the railway line to the front, before one can realize that they have arrived. This camp does not grow much. But the British camp for all the departures in the direction of Doiran and the Bulgarian frontier is still populous, the men still training—‘"keeping the beggars fit.”” For companies regiments, and divisions have to be reformed, brought up to strength by the injection of new blood. Complete Co-operation. Between the French and the British there is the completest working co- operation. The French have the p dominant force and they have taken the major burden of the Expedition. General Serrail is bevond question the ablest officer in the Balkan field on the side of the Entente at least up scarcely I\\'hllo the British and French armies independent one of the other, the practical method of pro- ceedure is for General Serrail to sug- gest to General Sir Bryan Mahan a certain movement in co-operation with his own movements. The sug- gestion is promptly taken in the best of part, and both armies move to gether like well regulated clock- work. Along the road hundreds of itin- erant vendors of everything portable set up improvised stands in the fields, Neckties, hot chestnuts, suspendors, writing paper, raw shrimps, socks, sweetmeats, fortunes told, photo- graphs taken—and bang goes Tom- my's pay.
