This IA Authentic Estiinate' of Massacres Organized Under German Rule
 in Country

New York, December I.-At least l,- 00O, 900 Greeks, men, women and children, have perished as the result of organized messacres and deportations by the Turco-Teutons' in Asiatic Turkey, ac- cording to a statement by Lazaros George Macrides, son of a leading mer- chant of Trebizond, made public through the Armenian and Syrian relief commit tee here today
 Macrides, who recently arrived here. said he was one of a party of 20oo Greeks, which was reoued by the Rus sian fleet that bombarded the town of Ordeu late last Adgust, and took the refugees aboard. He had been taken to Ordou, he said, when the Turks raided Treibizond and seized his fathers store along with those of other Greek mer- chants.
 Those of us who were between the ages of Is and 50 were drafted into the Turkish army said Macrides. Gu,
 women and children and the older men were placed temporarily in homes and orphanages until the opportunity offered to dispose of them in the approved
 Turco-Teuton fashion. which in this in.
 stance turned out to be by wholesalt drowning.
 The unfortunate survivors of de. poration were lowed out for several miles into the Black sea and then calmly dumped overheard just like st much garbage. None of them survived German efficiency has simply organized the natural brutality of the Turk ant made 1t many times more effective thar ever before. should think that a the most conservative estimate, at ieasi 100000 of my fellow countrymen have perished miserably through the organ. ized cruelty of this Teutonic al liance. The only hope of the future lies in America"

ARMY ORDER MEANS. IN | RE FL E CT|ON UPON ALABAM|ANS
War Department Explains Sending of CoI0nels and Lieutenant Col0nels to
 Training Camps
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington. December M.-(special. } Orders putting colonels and lieutenant colonels of the Alabama brigade of the Dixie division stationed at Camp Wheel CT, in training schools and supplanting them by officers of the regular army. carry no reflection on Alabamians, ac- cording to official statement of the war department today
 Because of such orders. certain Ala. bamians of high military rank and Gov ernor Henderson wired Senators Bank head and Underwood The idea seemed to prevail that the supplanting of the Alabamians by regular army officers would result in Alabama troops entering French trenches headed. by men other than those with whom they had trained and such resimental army officers re- ceiying credit for the gallantry which Alabama troops promise to display in battle
 x The war department, when asked for explanation by Senator Underwood de- clared that Alabama colonels and lieu tenant colonels had been ordered to training schools not as reflection on their ability. but for the good of the servicc. IL was stated that it was not the inten- tion oS the war department to relieve any Alabama officer of command save for inefficiency. Such information was forwarded Governor Hesderson.
 I The governor in his letter declares that Alahama troops had been organized and trained by Alabama officers and Stat Alabama was Willing to risk tits honor and tradition" in the hands Of those troops commanded by their own officers. The governor is anxious that Alabama troops retain their identity. and he ii |jotned by the Governors of Georgia and Floxida in expressing desire that the divielon at Camp Wheeler be always known as the Dixie division.

WAR TIME ECONOMY PLEA IS ISSUED BY THE BANKING BOARD
People of Country Arc Asked to Save and Aid in Winning Great
 Conflict
ny tic Associated Pres.

Washington December 31 A New Years plea for wal time economy to assist the United States in financing it. self and the allies was issued tonight by the federal reserve board in the form of a sugges- tion to banks to promote thrif! campaigns in their communi- ties.
 Let the public realize,. says the statement, 1that it is more respect able in such war times as confront us to be seen in old clothes than in new ones.
 The banks are urged to teach in their districts the meaning and the necessity of saving and it's relation to the success ful financing of the war, to tell the city merchant and the country storekeeper that this is not the time to buy and stock up. especially with luxuries.
 Let the people everywhere be encour- aged to consume fewer things and let those be the simple and substantial things that are necessary to health and strength.
 NO TIME TO SPEND
 Let the banks tell the people of their communities and their authorities the mayors and governors. that this Is moi the time for cities to be spending money on public works; rather should they be considering the Suspension of existing work with the view of releasing men and material for the use of the government and so as not to compete with the gov ernment for the savings of the people thereby weakening the ability of the gov ernment to place it's loans. Fully as important as economy oi goods is economy of credit and it's iirni tation as far as possible to essentials ol the war, the board declares.
