VERY CRITICAL
Turkey and Greece Reported
Nearing Break.
PROMISES ARE NOT KEPT

In Spite OF Diplomatic Assurances
Greek Residents of Asia Minor Arc
Forced to Abandon Homes and Flee
From the Country.
Athens, July S0.-The relations OF
Greece and Turkey have become criti-
cal. Contrary to diplomatic assur-
ances given by them the Turks con-
tinue to force Greek Christians in
Smyrna, Vyrla, Adramyti and other
Asia Minor towns to abandon their
homes and property and fee from the
country.
Refugees are arriving at Mitylene
by boatloads daily, bringing nothing
but tales of terrible hardships and
persecution Wednesday there ar
rived at Mitylene two small sailing
vessels with eighty-six women and
children, whose fathers and husbands
had been seized and sent to the war
zone to dig trenches The party had
been afoat forty hours without food
or water
1t is asserted here the Turkish plan
to exterminate the Greeks on the Asia
Minor seaboard is encouraged by the
Germans for military reasons. The
Turks fear the allies intend to make
a big invasion of Asia Minor and they
think the Greeks would give informa-
tion to the enemy.
Turkey evidently is acting on the
assumption that Greece's fear of Bull
garia will prevent 1t from protesting
4 too vigorously Many here credit the
/ report that treaty has been entered
/ into by which Turkey cedes to Bul
garia the territory enclosed by the
/ Dedeagatch territory.
