Woe in Asia Minor.
COLLAPSE of the Greek armies in
!, Asia Minor and the consequences that
, are likely to follow, gives the world
/. another tremendous object lesson of
/ the waste and terribleness of war.
This has been a little war to be
sure, which has hung ON practically
since the Paris peace conference and

< conference had done it's duty to the

: considerable Greek populations and
the imperialistic elements in Greece
t have been anxious to add these terri
: tories to the Greek empire. The Al

2 Greeks set out to build greater
Greece by war. For time the Greek
S araies prospered and large numbers
of the Greek population of the Tur-
e kish empire poined the invaders. But
Y now the Greek inhabitants of Asia
Minor are fleeing for their lives to
e coast town with range of Allied war
