THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Saloniki’s Present and Past—Few ci- ties which have been storm centdrs in the present European war have had a more tumultuous history than wa- loniki, now the focal point of war events with the Entente Allies in pos:. session. A condensed yet graphic re- cital of the powers and peoples whiciy have held sway over the seaport is given in a communication to the Na- tional Geographic Society from H. G. Dwight, a part of which has been is- sued in the war geography of the so- ciety. Mr. Dwight says: “‘Compared to its two great neigh- bors, Athens and Constantinople, Sa- loniki is relatively a modern ity Founded originally as an Ionian cui- ony, the place was first known as Therma, from the hot springs which still exist in that eastern district of the bay. It fell into the hands of th Persians in 512 B. C., when Darius overran Scythia and Thrace; and Xerxes reassembied his own forces there preparatory to his invasion of Greece, “During the great days of the Mac edonian empire the city played no no- table role, for Philip and Alexander tae Great held their court at Pella, in the hills beyond the Vardar. The present town was founded about 3i5 B. C., by King Kassander of Macedon, and amed after his wife Thessalonike, na.£ er to Alexander the Great. ‘The adjoining peninsula of Kassandra takes its name from the king himsalf, who founded another city on its shore. “Under the Romans, Saloniki grew greatly in importance. Made a iree city, the capital of the surrounding ra- gion, it became the home of many Roman colonists, and not a few famot's names associate themselves th the town. Cicere lived there for a timec in le, St. Paul was another tempor- ary resident, whose epistles to the Thessalonians we still preserve. “The emperor Nero decorated the city with a colonnade, a few of whose battered caryatides were visible there until a few years ago, under the jic- turesque name of las encantadas— the Enchanted Women. They are now in the Louvre. Trajan®erected a ro- tunda in honor of the Cabiri; for tiey, with Aphrodite of the Baths, were patrons of pagan Saloniki. Galerius, one of the associates of Diocletian in the purple, made Saloniki his head- quarters. Licinius, coemperor with Constantine the Great, died or was put to death there in 324 by his su:- cessful rival. Theodosius the Great also lived there, in 380, in order to keep his eyes on’ the Goths. “After his retirement to Milan, 1,- 000 of the Thessalonians were butca- ered in the circus, in punishment f:r insulting the emperor's licutenant. St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, thundred from the pulpit against the imperil murderer, and Theodosius eventual made a most humiliating public par- ance. “During the Byzantine period Salon- iki became the second city of the eiu- pire. Its situation made it the con- mercial capital of the Balkan penin- sula, and it rivalled Constantinople as a port of traffic between eastern Eu- rope and Alexandria. But its wealth and its comparative remoteness also made it a frequent object of attaclk. Avars, Goths, and Huns came (ime and again to its gates. The Sarac captured and sacked it in 904, The Normans descended upon it in 1185. “And it is not uninteresting to rc- call that among the most assiduons of these redoubtable Visitors were {lLe Serbs, and . espec the Bulgars. These neighbors ow much to Sajon- iki, from whom they took their faith, and incidentally their alphabet; for it was from Saloniki that St. Cyril and St. Methodius went forth to convert and to civilize the hardy mountainza:s of the Balkans. The hardy moun- taincers, however, 108t no opportunity to take more merchantable loot frar Saloniki, though the city itself they never took for lons. “After the conquest of Constanti- nople in 1204 by the Franks and Ven- etians of the Fourth Crusade, Salon- iki fell to the lot of Boniface, Mac- quis of Montferrat, who made it the capital of an imaginary kingdom. In 1222 King Demetrius, son of Boniface, was driven out with his Lombard no- bles by a Byzantine prince of Epirus, The ensuing 200 years were the most pnhappy in the troubled history of the hessalonians, who were fought o7er and bandied about by Greeks, Bulgars, Serbs, Catalans, Venetians, and Turks. “The Turks first appeared upon tho scene in 1380. They did not definitely take possession, however, until 1130. Then Sultan Mourad II, father of ths conqueror of Constantinople, capturad the town from the Venetians, gavs it over to sack and massacre, carried off 7,000 of the inhabitants into slavery, and changed many of the churchcs into mosques or tore them down for use in his own comstruction. Sume of the marbles of Saloniki were ca“- ried as far afaw as Adrianople. “For nearly 500 years the Turls re- mained in undisturbed possession..Yet it is perhaps not quite accurate to describe their possession as undis- turbed; for during the latter part of that period the frontiers of the em- DIAMOND RINGS Qur Special DIAMOND RINGS at $25 to. $50 can | ywhere in the city for the price. §§nglfi'om_315.!o$l50.
