MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS
BY THE TURKS

        SOFIA, 30 January.
(A.P.) - A young female with a
child in her arms fleeing from   
Rum Burgaz [Kumburgaz] yesterday 
narrates how Turkish soldiers locked
all the male Christian population 
in a school and massacred them
starting with the religious clergy.
They then proceeded to slaughter 
the women and children. All the
young women and girl s were
transfered to ships. These inhumane 
acts were repeated in the villages
Kestinta and Oklali.
