MASSACRES IN ANATOLIA.
GREEKS AND ARMENIANS SUFFER.
By Telegraph.—-Press Assn.—Copyright, Received August 30, 10.30 p.m. Constantinople, August 29.
Disquieting news comes from the interior of Anatolia. There is no doubt that the Nationalist authorities have revived the policy of the Committee of Union and Progress of massacring and deporting Greeks and Armenians. Many Greeks from the Black Sea litteral have been killed, and one convoy of 900 deportees reached Sivas with only 200 left. Some five thousand Turkish Armenians, including women and children, were deported, and many were massacred or died on the march. The Nationalists care little for European or American opinion, but they profess to respect the opinion of the Moslems in India. A correspondent writes: “It is too much to ask the responsible leaders of Indian Moslem to use their influence at Angora to prevent a repetition of the horrors of 1915 and 191 G. No prominent Indian voice has yet denounced Turkish tyranny over Christians.”—Times Service.
