HORRORS OF FAMINE
REPORTED IN GREECE MEN FIGHT WITH DOGS FOR SCRAPS. TERRIBLE DETAILS GIVEN BY TURKISH CREW. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, November 22. Famine in Athens is so bad that men who look like skeletons fight with dogs for scraps in dustbins and gutters. This was reported to the Istanbul correspondent of the “Daily Mail” by members of the crew of the Turkish food ship Kortulus, who found that conditions in Greece had deteriorated terribly since their last visit. ' ■ They said it seemed that every other person was suffering from a contagious skin disease because of the complete lack of soap. The conditions are desccribed as being as bad as in Barcelona in 1938. The Italians in northwest Greece are distributing food and treating the people comparatively well, with the object of lessening the hatred against themselves because they hope to add the north-western provincce of Greece to Albania after the war.
