SOLD TO FEARFUL BONDAGE
TURKISH WHITE SLAVES. Times and Sydney Sun Special Services. London, Mareh 17. A Constantinople court has ordered the expulsion of 50 Turkish women for practising, aiding and abetting clandestine prostitution.
Other Turkish women were found guilty of offences of a kindred nature. They had exploited the poverty and credulity of the distressed Turkish villagers in Thrace, and had sold the daughters of those people, not, as they undertook, to respectable Moslem families, but to Egyptian white slave houses. These women were, however, only sentenced to six months' imprisonment.
Constantinople is now the centre of a traffic of this nature, controlled bv Ottoman Greeks and Russian Jews.
