Refugees Leave Constantinople
The authorities are doing their best
to rid the capital as quickly as pos
sible of the influx of refugees. They
are being dispatched at the rate of sew
eral thousand daily to the ports of
Ghemlik and Moudania. or by rail TO
Konieh. The active interest of the au-
thorities. however, ends with the re-
noval of the poor eXiles and absolutely
no provision has been made for food
supplies The refugees are simply
dumped into the towns on the coast or
in the interior and are left to find for
age for themselves.
Fortunately the Moslem population is
naturally charitable and will share the
last crust with the wandering fugitives.
