WOMEN AND CHILDREN MASSACRED
(Received Last Night, 7.20 o'clock.)
SOFIA, May 18.
According to official reports, the
persecution of Greeks in Eastern
Thrace have been renewed with ex-
treme vigor.
Crowds of Greek peasants from De-
motica have arrived at Dedeagatch,
and they report that their wives and
children were massacred.
Others crossed the Marimza River
in boats, with Turks firing on
them. Many were drowned.
