10,000 GREEKS IN TURKISH MASSACRE

ADANA, Turkey. July 1. - Kemal
Pasha, head of the Nationalist gov-
ernment at Angora, has issued orders
that all American missionaries resident
in Cilicia discontinue their work and
leave the country immediately. The
Turks appear to be working on a de-
liberate plan to get rid of minorities
before the peace settlement in the
view of observers here. Doctor Ward
of the Near East Relief commission
confirms reports that 10,000 adult
Greeks in Asia Minor alone have been
massacred and that the relief com-
mission was not allowed to shelter
children.
Great Britain seems to be now the
center of attack by the Kemalist press.
One newspaper recently published the
following:
"It is the British who sow discord
and trouble among you, oh servants
of Christ. You should therefore know
that if the commandments of the Holy
Spirit are ten in number, the eleventh
should be hatred against England."
"And you followers of Mohammed,
every time you kill a Christian, you
are pulling down one of the corner
stones of the British empire. There-
fore for God's sake massacre, for the
love of your country massacre, in the
name of crying humanity massacre, for
the salvation of the world massacre."
