Show WHERE HORRORS ARE ENACTED. Having proceeded to take over east-em east-em Thrace, tho civil governor under i the Turks has made an announcement, announce-ment, justifying the conduct of the! Turkish population in the provinces Where they have " organized for de-1 fense against incursions." An excuse always can be provided by those who arc persecutors. What will happen to the unhappy Greeks is thus set forth: "Tho administration of the province will observe the same rules toward the ; Greoks and Armenians ao In Asia 1 Minor, namely, tbat men of military Oge will be concentrated In prison I camps, thoBe who have been traitors! !wUl bo punished and all others, If j peaceable and honest, will be permit-ted permit-ted to continue to livo and work in absolute safety." When the men of military age are conveyed to prison camps, the women) Innrl tflrla left hehlnrl will ho hnlnleRH against tho brutality of the Turks. What percentage of the men will re- j turn no one can predict as there la ' to be a slaughter, for "traitors aro to bo punished." Tho Greoks aro to be crushed into tho dust of the earth and it Is regrettable regret-table that Europe is to take an indifferent indif-ferent attitude as to the fate of the people who are to be returned to the yoke of the Turk. With all the outrages perpetrated in tho Near East, womankind must be cheapened to tbo point of being looked upon as common property. |
