GREEKS ARE
  BEHEADED IN
     ASIA MINOR


   Athens,  Greece  -  Official inform-
ation from Smyrna is to the effect
that, the Greek Governor of Sokia
reports that five Greeks, who es-
caped from Geronta (in the interior
of Asia Minor), brought tidings
that the whole Greek population in
that part of the country has been
deported towards the furthest in-
terior, most probably to Mougla.
On the way they are being gradu-
ally massacred.  The women and
the children are herded together in
a few houses and there left to die of
starvation. Prior to this the women
are forced to dance for the amuse-
ment of the Turkish rabble, and
the violation of women, girls and
young boys is carried on in the
most abominable manner.
