 that he had been connected with the general staff of the Germans, NJ. Tchernoff, resigned as socialist minis ter of agriculture. Efforts to strength en the Russian cabinet by the inclu- sion of constitutional democrats seem ingly have failed and Premier Kerens- ky will attempt to rule the country with the aid of the socialist and radi- cal parties.
 General Erdelli, recently appointed military governor of Petrograd, is re- ported to have been assassinated. Still In Retreat.
 Between the Dniester and the Pruth the Russians have not halted in their retreat toward the border. Bukowina is almost entirely in the hands of the Teutons again. Czernowitz, the cap ital, has been occupied by the Ger mans and Kimpolung, an important town several miles south of the Rus sian border, has been evacuated by the Russians. The German advance in Galicia and Bukowina seemingly is aimed at Kamnetz Podolosky, forty six miles south of the Dniester and in the direction of Odessa, Russia's great port on the Baltic Sea.
 Germany Needs Men.
 British Headquarters in France and Belgium.-August 3.-German officers captured in the battle in Flanders have discussed quite freely both the military and political situation as it affects the fatherland. Germany's loss in man-power they admit to be serious.
 The interesting inforamtion has been volunteered by these prisoners that the entire class of 1918 recruits now is in the field. and what is more significant, it is said. small elements of the 1919 class are already at the front although it is claimed they are serving oniy as volunteers. This is the first time any German officer has admitted that any men of the 1919 class were on the battle front.
 The whole trend of the statements made by these captive officers is that they are beginning to fear they may lose the war. More depressing than anything else is the fear that there may be another winter campaign. Peace without annexation or indem. mites is endorsed by all the officers who have discussed the question. but most of them have indicated that they savor the annexation of eastern Bel gium and a part of the coast of Elan iers, if such thing possibly could De done

 M Tchernoff has been one of the central figures in the present cabinet troubles in Russia. Negotiations for the reconstruction of the cabinet have been in progress for several weeks.

GREEKS SUFFER TORTURE FROM
 TURKS
(By Associated Press)

| NEW YORK, Oct. 16.--Not satisfied , by the slaughter of hundreds of thou. sands of Armenians and Syrians, the Turk has also turned against the Greek Christians in his dominions and more than 100000 have fallen a victim to persecution in the form of death. suffering or deportation; it was de- clared here today by Frank W. Jack son, of this city, chairman of the re- I lief committee for Greeks of Asia Min or. He said the real details of these new Turkish atrocities were just be- ginning to leak out.
 "The story of the Greek deportation is not yet generally known" said Mir Igackson. Quietly and gradually the same treatment is being meted out to the Greeks as to the Armenians. AL though closely guarded, certain echoes of these horrors come out from time to time.
 There were some two or three mil aAch III ADid NlluOI dl tue OuI- break of the war in 1914, subject to Turkish rule. According to the latest reliable and authoritative accounts, some seven to eight hundred thousand have been deported, mainly from the coast regions into the interior of Asia Minor
 'The Greeks of Asia Minor always have been law-abiding and perfectly loyal to the Turkish government. Un. der Abdul Hamid they were we'll treat ed, but his successors adopted a pro. gram to crush them.
 "At the declaration of the present war all prosecutions were stopped, but the spring of 1915 brought to the stage | a tragic, novel drama, unique in the history of the world as to its horrors and destructiveness, that is the Ar menian deportation; under that inno- cent name the eXtermination of a Christian race was started.
 Along with the Armenians most of | the Greeks of the Marmora regions and Thrace have been deported on the pretext that they gave information to the enemy. Along the Aegean coast Aivalik stands out as the worst suf. ferer. According to one report some 10000 Greeks there have been de.

| ported toward Koria and beyond. Al last 1000 have been slaughtered. The Greek bishop of Aivalik committed suicide in despair.
 The latest account from Trebizond shows the towns along the Black sea are being emptied of their Greek popu. lation. From Lyndon S. Crawford missionary of the American board at Trebizond, we have letter, dated July IA. 1917, in which he says the following order came from Turkish army headquarters at Sheishehie: By 12:25 o'clock July let no Greek man over 16 and under 50 be found in Or. dou. Send all such on into the inter. for. AS for the families, We will send further orders later
 "Mr. Crawford also wrote: First let us express once more our thank. fitness to God for the deliverance He has sent us by the great, grand Rus. sian army and people We are more and more appreciating what the Rus. sians have done for this region. I'm. mediately after the Russian occupa- ton of this province in April. 1916. hundreds of Armenians began to come out of their hiding places.'
 From the Greek minister to the United States. Georges Rousses. I have letter of September 21, 1917. in which he says:
 Backed by the Germans the Turks nave put into execution and even or ganized their wildness. They have decided to exterminate the Greek ele. ment, which is the most important and most numerous in Asia Minor.
 Under pretext of necessities of war entire populations have been de ported. Members of families have been separated. The old, the men un- fit for military service, and the wo- men were sent into the interior coun- try, abandoned without the slightest help and exposed to all sorts of de- privations. The men fit for military service were taken by force into the army despite the fact of having pal l for exemption; some of the wealthiest have been called on to pay this exemp. tion fee three times over.''
 The relief committee for Greeks of Asia Minor. MT. Jackson said, has been organized for non-potitical and purely humanitarian purposes, and aims at securing means ,o aid these Greeks reduced by sudden prosecutions tn q state of want.
