ing:
In September, 1917, the inhabi-
tants of Seres were 26,693, Of which
1888 were Greeks, 1925 Turks and
730 Israelites. In September, 1918, aft

Greeks thrown in wells by the Bull
garians.
"A commission Of the Red Cross,
upon request of Mr.. Venizelos, visited
eastern Macedonia and witnessed the
destruction Of towns and villages as
well as other horrible crimes. English
prisoners arriving from Bulgaria in
Saloniki relate the martyrdoms suffer-
ed during their captivity. An English
officer tells how he saw a Greek priest
hanged by the feet and roasted in a
small fire. The representative of the
American Tobacco fund communicates
that the Bulgarians, fleeing from Ca
valla, carried with them 10000 cat
tie.
The Archbishop of London. who
arrived in Athens after visit to
Macedonia, communicates that the
American legation in Sofia is trans
formed into a hospital. The Bulgarians
maltreated the Greek and Serbian
prisoners. He was told much of the
Bulgarian atrocities and the des.ruc-
ton of the property of the Greek pop
ulation, and was a witness himself to
inhuman acts. Lieutenant Man
thrakis, a prisoner of war, relates that
he was interned, together with Eng
taish and French officers, in a cage
naked and without food. The Bul-
garians stole from the English officer
his gold artificial teeth"
