GREEKS' PLIGHT DESPERATE.
MASSACRE FEARED AT SMYRNA


(Independent Cable Association)

                           LONDON, Tuesday.
    A Paris despatch from Athens states
that the Greeks in Asia Minor are in a
desperate plight owing to the persecu-
tion and violence to which they are
subjected.
         Greek stores have been pillaged,
women insulted, and men forcibly en
-rolled in the army.
      At Sidon several Greeks have been
murdered in the streets, while in Smyr-
na the conditions are so had that a
massacre is feared.
