TURKISH ATROCITIES.
DILATORY BRITISH.
(The "Times" Cables)
LONDON, July 28.
The correspondent of the "Times" at
Constantinople reports that the Nation-
alists have massacred hundreds of Greeks
and Armenian civilians at Geive, and
there have been numerous murders else-
where. These crimes were quite unpro-
voked.
The conduct of the Greek troops has
been exemplary, but they will be diff-
icult to restrain if they find more but-
chered Christians. The British Govern-
ment is blamed for dilatoriness in try-
ing the Turks interned at Malta who are
charged in connection with massacres.
These were invariably authorised from
above. So far only one man has been
hanged. If a few more of the more highly
placed Turks know they risked their own
necks the massacres would probably
cease.
