Greek Reverses
Are Blamed On
W%Profiteers

New YORK, May 6. - Old sec
ond-hand war material dumped
into Greece after the armistice
upon which profiteers made for
tune is the cause OF the reverses
lately suffered by the Greek army
in Asia Minor, according to DR..
Barton w. Brush, of Elmhurst, L.
l., who has just returned from
service behind the Greek : front
with the Near East Relief.
"All the leftover war supplies
for which the European countries
had no further use after 1918,
seem to have been sold to the
Greeks in the last three years, and
that is all the Greek army has to
fight with" DR.. Brush declared.
"In the last three years vast
fortunes have been made in Greece
out of army supplies, and now the
Greek soldiers are paying for 1t.
There are no hospitals, no hospi
tai equipment, no ambulances
worth the name, and the wounded
have little chance except for such
care as the American Near East
Relief can give them" ng
According to DR.. Brush, the
Greek people were wildly enthusi-
astic about the war, and eager to
drive the Turks out of Smyrna,
for good.
