Athens.-King Constantine has sent
the following message to the ~reek
minister of foreign affairs:
"The commander of the sixth divi-
sion reports that Bulgarian soldiers,
carrying out the orders of their cap
tain, gathered together in the court
yard of the school at Demirhissar two
priests and owe 100 notables, whom
they massacred. The bodies have
been disinterred in order to prove the
crime. Bulgarian soldiers violated
girls, one of whom, resisting, was cut
to pieces.
Protest in my name to the repre-
s~entatives of the civilized powers
against the acts of these monsters in
human form. Protest also to the en-
tire civilized world and say that, to
my regret, l see myself compelled to
wreak vengeance in order to inspire
these monsters with terror and make
them reflect before committing more
outrages of this sort.
"The Bulgarians have surpassed all
the horrors of barbaric times and have
proved that they no longer have a
right to be reckoned among civilized
people"
Murdered in Their Homes.
The commander of the seventh divi.
sion reports that the town of Sores has
been burned with the exception of the
Jewish and Mussulman quarters. Many
men, women and children were found
murdered or burned in their homes
Twenty thousand persons are without
shelter.
A long statement issued by the min.
lister of war gives details of crimes
alleged to have been committed by the
Bulgarian troops while fleeing from
the Greek army.
Priests, old men, women and chill
dren," says the statement, suffered
martyrdom after being subjected t.
unspeakable treatment. I~ncendiarisn
was the order of the day. Not a single
church was respected and the savings
of many people were stolen by Bull
garian officers and soldiers"
