FAMINE IN MACEDONIA,
PEOPLE DYING RAPIDLY
Consul Geig Calls Attention to Mis-
cry in Monastir Due to
War of 1912.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 15.-Dispatches re-
ceived from British Consul Greig at
Monastir, Macedonia, indicate that the
situation of the refugee population in
that district is very serious.
80 many people have succumbed to
the effects of exposure and starvation
says Mr.. Greig, "and the crop pros
poets are SO bad. that despair has
quenched all initiative. Everywhere the
distress is increased by the enormous
prices of foodstuffs, by the lack of med
ical assistance, by the need Of cloth
ing and housing. The situation Is
equally precarious for Christian and
Moslem population.
Acute distress of a peculiarly horri-
BILE character prevails among the civil
ian population of the districts of
Ochrida. Dibra, Kirchevo and Perlepe.
The chief sufferers are refugees from
villages destroyed in 1912 when cattle,
grain, agricultural implements and all
household effects of hundreds of fami-
lies were looted or destroyed. The sur
towns-especially Monastir - destitute
of the necessaries of life. Since then it
has been impossible for them to do any
thing toward retrieving their fortunes
or to earn farthlng. Ihelr only re-
sources had been agriculture, which
they could have resumed only II their
homes and barns could have been gra-
tuitously rebuilt, and if oxen. seed and
agricultural implements could have
been provided. That was impossible.
because the events Of 1912-were follow
ed by other wars and urgent appeals to
charity on every side. No other means
of earning living has been opened to
them, as there has been no demand for
labor owing to economical conditions.
In Monastir alone there are some g.
900 persons, including refugees from
more than thirty villages. Many of
them are suffering from illness caused
by two and half years of semi-starva-
ton, while large numbers are in a
state of extreme debility. which. fail
ing relief. can only end in lingering
death. There are whole streets of fam
lilies in this condition. They have part
ed with everything salable. Women
reduced to skin and bone. are feeding
their infants on dry bread got by beg
ging. Hundreds of these families have
recently been visited and scarcely
house has been found in which there is
an atom of food beyond scraps of dry
bread and, here and there, a few hand
fuls of flour. No family possessed
meat. eggs, butter. cheese. oil, salt. tea,
coffee and rice"
