New York Times 100 years ago today, July 16, 1913:
American So Describes the Flight Following Bulgars' Looting.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Wednesday, July 16.— The Daily Telegraph's Salonika correspondent, speaking of the Bulgarians' looting of Seres and the burning of the American Tobacco Company's factory, says that an American who escaped on foot to Salonika describes the flight with a few thousands of persons as "a picture of hell, with sobs and moans of women, cries of the weaker dropping and being helped up and dragged along by friends, and in the background the cracking of rifles, the explosion of shells, the roaring of flames, and a black canopy of smoke over the whole countryside."
