(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT)
Milan, Jan. 11.
Public irritation against the Central Empires
has been increased by accounts of the persecu-
tion of Greeks in Turkey related by an American
missionary who has arrived in Athens. He
states that flogging, torture and massacre are
the order of the day. Enormous numbers of
Greeks who have been deported to the interior
of Turkey have died of hunger and infectious
diseases; 36,000 Greeks have been deported
from Brusa, 40,000 from the Dardanelles, and
45,000 from the European shores of the Black
Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
