TURKISH VICTIMS
GIVEN HOT BATHS
AND THEN FROZEN
Said Thousands of Greeks Were
Killed Off in This Cruel,
Indirect Manner.

| New York, Aug 3.-Charges that
| Turkish officials decimated the Greek
| population along the Black sea coast,
$50 900 men, women and children living
between Sinope and Ordou, without the
shedding of blood but by ''parboiling" the
| victims in Turkish baths and turning
them half clad out to die of pneumonia
or other ills in the snow of an AnatOlian
winter, are made in a letter from DIR.
George r. White. representative of the
American committee for relief in the
near east, made public here.
Sinope was the birthplace of the phil
usopher Diogenes, DIR. White recalls, and
Ordu is just beyond Cape Jason which
is still preserved in memory of the Ar
gonauts and the Golden Fleece. The
secretary of the Greek relief committee
here. described the new method of ridding
the land of its inhabitants which. it said,
was somewhat different from that en-
ployed by the Turks against the Armen
ians.
The worst of the crimes laid to the
Turks. according to DIR. White. were
committed in the winters of 1916 and
1917 when orders were issued for the
deportation of the Greeks along the
Black sea coast. The people. he wrote.
were crowded into the steam rooms of
the baths in Chorum under the pretense
Of sanitary regulations" and after be-
ing tortured for hours were turned out
of doors into snow almost kneedeep, and
without lodging or food. Their garments,
which had been taken from them for
fumigation, were lost. ruined or stolen.
Most of the victims, ill-lad and shivering,
contracted tuberculosis and other pull
monary diseases and died in swarms"
on the way to exile, the latter declared.
DR.. White said that in the province
of Bafra. where there were more than
10000 village Greeks, now less than 13,
600 survive and every Greek settlement
has been burned. The number of or
phans, including some Armenian and
Turkish children. in the entire district,
it was said. aggregated 10000. Since
the armistice, the doctor wrote, many of
the deportees have been returning to
their ruined homes

TROOPS DID FINE
WORK IN CHASING
VILLAS BANDITS
Artillery Action Like Cl0ckwOrk
While Engineers Build Bridge
in Less Than Hour.

Washington, Aug. 3.--Official detailed
reports on the recent punitive expedition
into Jaurez to drive out Villa troops
when the battle there threatened lives
of Americans in Eel paso, give especial
praise to the work of 9th the artillery
and the cavalry.
1t is said that some of the achieve
ments of the second battalion of the S2nd
field artillery under command of Lieuten-
ant Colonel III. L. Newbold were as spec
tacular as any in the great war when
the small nature of the engagement is
taken into consideration.
The reports say Colonel Newbold had
his men and guns in so closely behind
the skirmish line that they were ready
to fire before the infantry had made
contact, and the instant the command
to fire was given, the shrapnel began
sweeping the fence corners and grand
stand of the race track, where the Villa
troops were, exactly on the target
Colonel Newbolds batteries got off
sixty-four rounds with such speed and
accuracy that observers report the action
like performance of the prize gun teams
in France which made new records with
the French 75s When the infantry
advanced, every point of vantage around
the Mexican positions was found riddled
with steel bullets.
The cavalry comes in for a full meas
ure of praise for. its rapid movement to
cut off the main rebel body while the
performance of the engineers in throw
ing across the Rio Grande in less than
an hour, pontoon bridge capable of
bearing the heaviest equipment is re-
ported as having set new records in that
line.
THE doughboys' of the infantry of
course come in for their usual share of
praise which is in no way dimmed by
the mention of the success of the engin-

Paris. Aug. BY The Associated

thru the Italian mission at Budapest has

A view of the disputed

Washington.-Among recent develop
ments in the discussion over the peace
conferences decision in awarding Shan
tung to Japan, is the statement of
Counsellor Debuchi of the japanese en-
bassy at Washington. Expressing his
personal opinion. he said he believed
Japan has firmly decided to restore to
China her sovereignty over the leased
territory of Kiao Chow. The territory
was leased to Germany by China under
pressure in 1908 for ninety mine years.
China repudiated the lease on her en-
trance into the war.
Mr.. Debuchi's statement would in
dicate that, before Japan will be in a
position to make a public declaration,
there must be tacit agreement be-
tween China and Japan. Some students
of international affairs believe that the
tacit agreement would amount to promise
Great Falls daily tribune., 1919-08-04

on China's part to sign the peace treaty
with Germany.
1t has become known from sources
close to the Chinese government that
Chinese claims, or rather the claims of
the Chinese delegation at Paris, extend
to a repudiating of the treaties and
agreements of 1915 signed by China and
Japan, under which China assigns i'm
portant rights in kiau Chau and else
where to Japan.
The peace delegation also demands
that Japan make formal promise, in
writing. to the principal allied and as
soclated governments, as well as to
China, to restore Tsingtau to China
within two years. proposal which is
declared to have been rejected by Japan
at the peace conference.
