GREEK VICTIMS
ARE PARBOILED
BY OPPRESSORS
NEW YORK, Aug. 8 (by Associated
Press).—Charges that Turkish offi
cials decimated the Greek population
along the Black Sea coast, 250,000
men, women and children living be
tween Sinope and Ordou, without the
shedding of blood but by "par
boiling” the victims in Turkish baths
and turning them half clad out to die
of pneumonia or other ills in the snow
of an Anatolian winter, are made in
a letter from Dr. George E. White,
representative of the American Com
mittee for relief in the Near East,
made public here today.
Sinope was the birthplace of the
philosopher Diogenes, Dr. White re
calls, and Ordou is just beyond Cape
Jason which is still preserved in mem
ory of the Argonauts and the Golden
Fleece. The letter written to Pro
fessor J. P. Xenides, secretary of the
Greek Relief Committee here, des
cribes the new method of ridding the
land of its inhabitants which, it is
said, was somewhat different from
that employed by the Turks against
the Armenians.
The worst of the crimes laid to the
Turks, according to Dr. White, were
committed in the winters of 1916 and
1917, when orders were issued for the
deportation of the Greeks along the
Black Sea coast. The people, he
wrote, were crowded into the steam
rooms of the baths in Chorum under
the pretense of "sanitary regula
tions,” and after being tortured for
hours were turned out of doors into
snow almost knee deep, and without
lodging or food. Their garments,
which had been taken from them for
fumigation, were lost, ruined or stol
en. Most of the victims, ill clad and
shivering, contracted tuberculosis and
ether pulmonary diseases and “died in
swarms” on the way to exile, the let
ter declared.
Dr. White said that in the province
of Bafra, where there were more than
29.000 villages, Greeks, now less than
13.000 survive, and every Greek set
tlement has been burned. The num
ber of orphans, including some Ar
menian and Turkish children, in the
entire district, it was said, aggregated
60,000. Since the armistice, the doc
tor wrote, many of the deporters
have been returning to their ruined
homes.
KOREA SEEKS REFORMS

Correspondence).—Several prominent

CONGRESSIONAL
PARTY CANCELS
ALASKAN TRIP
SEATTLE, Aug. 8 (by Associated
Press).—J. L. McPherson, who is in
Washington in the interest of Alaska
legislation at the instance of the Se
attle Chamber of Commerce, wired to
day that the proposed Alaska trip of
congressmen and other officials had
been canceled. He gave no reasons,
but it is believed here that the can
cellation of the proposed trip was be
cause of the fact that congress had
decided to remain in session to con
sider the high cost of living instead
of taking a recess.
The Alaska engineering commission
has been officially notified that the
congressional party has abandoned the
Alaska trip, and Purchasing Agent
Dole has been directed to cancel the
steamship and hotel reservations
made for the members of the party.
It is believed that Colonel Mears
and W. A. Ryan will be passengers
for the North on board the Alameda,
leaving Seattle August 13.

NEW FORESTRY
SUPERVISOR IS
CONSTRUCTIVE
“My policy as supervisor of the na
tional forests in Alaska shall be to
learn the needs of the Territory, the
wishes of the people, the proper
means of development, complete co
operation with those who are working
for the best interests of the country,
and to help in pointing out to the
department at Washington the man
ner in which the federal government
could and should give aid.”
The foregoing is a statement of
Charles H. Flory, the new supervisor
of the national forests in Alaska who
has arrived in Ketchikan to take up
his duties. And in keeping with the
policy outlined he is now on a trip
over all of the southeastern part of
the Territory.
“In our department,” said Mr.
Flory, “ am sure we will be able
to do a great deal of good in the de
velopment of the resources and I will
be glad to have suggestions at any
time, or corferences with persons who
have constructive suggestions to
make. It will be necessary for all who
are working to the proper develop
ment of the country to work together
and I shall be ready to do my part.”
Several years ago Mr. Flory spent
some months in Alaska, and during a
number of, years while connected with !
the Portland office of the forestry
service he became familliar with the
affairs of the department in Alaska.
He has not, however, the first hand
information which he wishes and will
not start making any recommenda
tions for changes in laws or regula
tions until he has an opportunity to
study conditions thoroughly.
“One thing is certain,’ he went on,
“and that is that conservation and
reservation are two different things.
To conserve doesn’t mean to tie up
resources, it means to use them prop
erly without waste, in this generation
and not in years to come. We must
conserve here, but not reserve. We
must find means of developing the
great resources.”
Mr. Flory has been in the forestry
service for 13 years and the greater
part of his time has been spent on the
Pacific coast. During that period he
found many people of the Northwest
working under difficulties similar to
those which are not retarding the de
velopment of Alaska, and saw many
of the troubles overcome. And he
hopes to be even more successful
here.

ACQUISITION OF GERMAN
FIRMS BY AMERICANS
LONDON, July 7 (by mail).—Politi
cally the British government does not
view with disfavor the reported ac
quisition of German firms by Ameri
cans. Asked in the house of commons
if he had any official information that
such transactions had taken place, Sir
Auckland Geddes, president of the
Board of Trade, said that the govern
ment had not, but that he was “in
clined to regard the action suggested
as by no means improbable, not only
with regard to Americans, but also
as to British firms and firms of all
allied nations.”
