!, One refugee declared to the corre-
that at one time there were
more than so deaths a day among the
refugee colony In Debrudja from mall
nutrition, exhaustion and exposure.
In certain sections, he said, the
Greeks were forced to live largely on
the rinds Of watermelons which the
soldiers threw in the
streets.
The older residents Of this refugee
suburb" of Saloniki, most of whom
had fed from different parts Of Asia
Minor during the Wholesale massacres
there in 1914, have bitter experiences
TO relate about their treatment by the
Turks. Some OF those people lived in
the city of Phocis. where the whole
Christian population either had been
driven out or were killed by the Turks.
The women wept as they told about
the outfagss of the Moslems. The
worst story was that told by an intelli-
gent peasant woman, who declared
that in a butcher shop opposite her
home in -Phocis, she saw the Turks
a young girl who was considered
the most attractive in. town and cut
her body into pieces. They hung the
pieces on. neat hooks and offered
them for public sale, she said. to
show the Turks contempt for Greek
Christians.
What most impresses the eye Of the
visitor in speaking with these I'M
fortunate people is their sad, wan
and furrowed faces. They have been
driven about by the invading foe IN

POETRY IN CITY STREETS.

In tribute to Joyce Kilmer after
the latter's death. Cecil Chesterton
spoke Of wandering along Broadway
with him at night and says: "There
are some in England, perhaps also
in America, who will think such
connection inappropriate to the
memory Of poet. But know that
Kilmer would not have thought so.
He was a true American in his love
Of his own city, which is, indeed, one
of the most genuinely poetic in the
world. 1t was, | believe, his cem-
panionship that did most to teach
me to feel the fascination of those
astounding streets. and to under
stand how half century ago Poe
had walked them and dreamed Of
topping cities dancing with the
madness of an opium dream"
Chesterton, who was in the Brit
ish service, died Of pneumonia short
ly after Kilmer's death.
