GERMANS DESTROY
GREEK COMMUNITY

The story Of the burning Of the
Greek village of Mikron Horizon,
Karpenission, by Germans troops,
and the subsequent arrest and slay-
ing by Italians of 10 inhabitants
of that town and of Megalon Horizon
following a guerrilla attack on a
German staff car in 1912, was re-
lated in a letter received yester-
Gay by Peter Compos Of Kure S
Beach, president of the Uaion of
Mikrohorition.
Compos had written the Greek
government to leara the where
abouts of his brother who had lived
iasMikron Horizon. The communica-
ton, describing the torture and
Killing of the Greek citizenry by
German and italian troops. was
channeled from the Kingdom of
Greece, Maritime Court in Great
Britain, through Herbert Pell, L.
Sd representative on the United
Nations Commission for the Inves-
t:gation of War Crimes, London.
CompoS brother was not among
the village persons listed as killed
by Italian troops.
The Greek government announc-
ed that German troops burned
great part of Mikron Horton on
Feb. 4, 1912, and that on Nov. "a,
1912 ''outside the same village a
German staff car was attacked by
guerillas, who took prisoner some
German officers. among them a
major. Some days later, about
Christmas, 1912, Italian troops ar.
rested, tortured and put to death
by fire. 10 inhabitants of Mikron
Horizon and Megalon Horizon.
The government communication
said that the clergyman in the
group had his eyes gouged out
and the police officer his fingers
cut off before being put to death.
The Italians burned also 60 houses
of Mikron Horizon and Is houses
or Megalon Horizon
:Pell declared 1.-The case is hor-
rible but by no means unusual
Similar things have taken place
M only in Greece, but in most
of the occupied countirc. 1t is
toTbe hoped that the people of the
United States will insist on punish
nIent for these offenses, at least
adequate to prevent their repeti-
ton in the course of a few years."
