STATE OF TERROR IN SMYRNA
Bay of Plenty Times,
8 Sep 1915, p.3.
Greek refugees from Asia Minor
state that terror reigns in Smyrna
from whence the Christians are being
forcibly removed to the interior.
The Bashi Bazouks are plundering
unrestrained and are apparently aim-
ing at the extermination of the Greek
population. Smyrna is in darkness,
and railways are interrupted through
lack of coal.
The Italian Consul-General with
his wife and members of the Consul-
ate escaped with difficulty and
reached Mitylene after teriible adven-
tures.
