installed in quarters at Portland was
brought up at the informal talk in the
gathering of members of the Bath In

Says Many Greeks Were
"ParbOiled" Without
Shedding Blood
WORST CRIMES
IN 1916 AND 1917
People Were Tortured
Hours Under Pretense
Of Sanitation
Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 3O-Charees
that Turkish officials decimated the
Greek population along the Black Sea
Coast, 250,000 men, women and chill
dren 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 letter from DIR. George E.
White, representative of the Ameri-
can Committee for Relief in the Near
East, made public today.
Sinope was the birthplace of the
philosopher Diogenes, DR.. White re-
calls, and Ordou is just beyond Cape
Jason which is still preserved in mem
ory of the Argonauts and the Golden
Fleece The letter, written to Pro-
fessor j. p. Xenides, secretary of the
Green Relief Committee here desert
bed the new method of ridding the
land of it's inhabitants which, it said,
was somewhat different from that
employed by the Turks against the
Armenians.
The worst of the crimes laid to the
Turks, according to DIR. White, were
committed in the Winters of 1916
and 1877 when orders were issued for
the deportation of the Greeks along
the Black Sea coast. The people, he
intn no tna IN
rooms of the baths in Chorum under
the pretense of sanitary regula-
tions" and after being tortured foE
hours were turned out of doors into
snow almost knee-deep, and without
lodging or food. Their garments
which had been taken from them for
fumigation, were lost, ruined or stol-
en-. Most of the victims, ill-clad and
shivering, contracted tuberculosis and
other pulmonary diseases and "died
in swarms' on the way to exile, the
letter declared.
Dr. White said in the province OF
Bafra, where there were more than
$4,000 village Greeks, now less than
1900 survive and every Greek set
tlement has been burned. The mum.
Der of orphans including some Ar
menian and Turkish children, in the
entire district, it was said, aggregated
10000. Since the armistice, the doc
tor wrote, many Of the depOrtees
have been returning to their ruined
homes.

Many Children Born
Blind In Poland
Associated Press

WARSAW, POLAND, July 30-The
abnormal number of children born
blind in this country during the past
three years despite the fact that their
parents were healthy is due mainly
to the malnutrition of mothers, ac-
cording to a report issued today by
the American Red Cross.
The increasing amount Of blindness
among children at birth was thought
at first to herald the advent Of some
new war disease. But investigation
by American experts proved that the
famished condition of the mothers
reacted on the eye~sight of their in
fants.
