OUTRAGES IN SMYRNA.
People who have arrived at Mytilini from
Smyrna state that a reign of terror pre-
vails in the city. The Turks are de-
spoiling the remainder of the populace,
and sufferers include Europeans. Even
large buildings guarded by French marines
are being pillaged. Many Greeks have
thrown themselves into the sea in order
to escape the fury of the Turks. Several
of these Greeks were rescued by Allied
warships.
Refugees from Smyrna who have reached
Athens recount even more terrible stories
of Turkish ferocity. They say that imme-
diately after entering the city the Kema-
list soldiers massacred and robbed the citi-
zens, and that the quays are littered with
corpses.
