THE UNSPEAKABLE TURK
ATROCITIES IN ARMENIA.
Pitiable plight of Greeks.


      The condition of the Greeks on the Black
Sea coast is described in a message from
Athens as deplorable.  The Turks, owing
to the Russian advance in Armenia, are
clearing the inhabitants out of the vil-
lages and sending them on foot to concentra-
tion camps in the interior.
     The unfortunate Greeks are almost food-
less, yet the Turks rob these pitiful cara-
vans of every  possession.  The Greek chil-
dren are being taken from the villages and
converted to Islamism.
     To add to the horrors which the Greeks
are suffering, Turkish soldiers are commit-
ting brutalities on the women and girls.
