Special Peace Negoiiator
Advocated by Willis

by the ASsOclhteC PreSS.
Senator Willis, Republican, Of In
diana believing 1t "unwise" for the
President to attend the world peace
conference in person, suggested to-
day that the Chief Executive appoint
the Secretary of State or "a COM
missioner with the same relative
position" as his representative.
AT the conference the President
is associated with men who have
greater power to speak for the gov
ernments than he has" Senator
Willis said In an interview. "They
assume he speaks with complete
authority for his Nation and he is
thus sometimes led to make COM
mitments far beyond those author
lied by our Constitution. If our
country were represented instead by
q commissioner 1t would be under
stood that any commitment made
by him would have to be ratified by
the Senate"
Senator willis said his proposal
would avert the difficulties en-
countered after the last war when
President Wilson made commitments
the Senate refused to approve.

1900 Communities
Sacked by Germans,
Greek Patriots Say
By SID FEEDER.

Associated Press War Correspondent
PATR1A, Greece, Oct. 5 Delayed)
Greek patriots estimated today
that some 1900 villages and towns
in Greece had been burned and
pillaged by the Germans during
three years of occupation and the
most brutal was the massacre of
Kalavryta."
At Kalavryta, district capital
30 miles south of here, the Ger
mans machine-gunned TOO men and
boys-the entire male population
sacked and burned the town and
only failed In cremating some 1900
women and girls because an Aus
trian soldier unlocked the doors of
the burning building in which they
had been herded. The Germans
shot him.
Fifty to 80 other towns In the
region suffered the same fate as
Kalavryta in the German reprisal
campaign of so Greeks for each
Nad killed.
Millions Made Homeless.
Just how many civilians were
killed this way throughout the
country 1t is impossible to estimate.
1t Is known that from 1,5O0,0O 10
10000 were made homeless ard
that many died because of expos
ure, disease and starvation.
The same savage treatment went
on in the large towns as well as
the small ones. This seaport of
100000 population saw several of
the Germans "50-for-1" reprisals.
On one occasion all the women
and children in the town were or
dered to dig a huge ditch near al
monastery on the outskirts of the
community The Germans then
brought so patriots to the scene
and shot them so chat their bodies
fell into the ditch. The women and
children were then ordered to cover
the bodies with dirt. Most times,
however, the Germans would not
reveal the place of execution and
families discovered the fate of their
menfolks only when lists of those
executed were posted.
The Germans had torture
chamber here. Greeks who refused
to collaborate were placed in small
cabinets, large enough to hold four
people standing up. The walls of the
cabinets were lined with glass and
nails to prevent the victims from
leaning against them.
Victims Collapsed.
Victims were made to stand erect |
until they finally collapsed from ex-
hauston.
DR.. P. A. Harris, a dentist who
graduated from the University of !
Illinois and who practiced in Chi
cagos West Side for Is years until
he returned to Greece in 1895, said
wherever the Germans went they
stole everything" and shipped 1t to
Germany.
Their favorite trick" he related, |
was to steal our furniture and
ship it home to Germany in cases
marked gifts from the Greek popu-
1ation for German victims of British
and American bombings.' >"
At Kerpine, near here, when the
Germans first arrived, they picked
80 persons at random and shot
them. a~.
Fifty others were killed at Rogoi,
and the villages of Sudena Theoto-
kos and Sudena st. Basil were
sacked. All the men were taken
prisoner and there has been no
word. of their fate. - *
