Towns Laid Waste.
Leninikan and twelve other cities nearby are described as a scene of utter ruin, with the financial loss called inestimable.
Leninikan and, twelve other cities in the neighborhood of this Armenian town of some 40,000 inhabitants presents a scene of utter ruin. Hardly a human habitation remains standing. The financial loss is inestimable.
Buildings occupied by the Near East reilef and housing hundreds of orphans were wrecked, but it is reported that both the children and the attendants of the institution reached safety. The first shock came Friday during the night, wrecking the gas mains and electric conduits and leaving the inhabitants to face the terrifying earth movements in darkness. The shocks recurred with increasing intensity thruout the night. They were felt as far south as Erivan, the Armenian capital, but the area suffering the greatest damage was approximately 100 square miles in the vicinity of Leninikan.
