GREEKS RESORT
TO BARBARISM
IN ASIA MINOR
LONDON, July 14 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—The Greek
army of occupation which landed at
Smyrna a few months ago murdered
and pillaged the Turks, according to
a letter published by Marmaduke
Pickthal, a well-known writer on
Eastern affairs. The writer of the
letter was described by Mr. Pick
hall as a “reliable correspondent,”
but his identity was not disclosed
The writer asserts that when the
Greek army landed at Smyrna, Turk
ish troops had been ordered by the
Turkish authorities to remain in
their barracks and that they did so;
but that the Greeks broke into places
where Turkish officers were collected
and shot down all who would not
shout “Long live Venizelos.” Many
were thus shot down, according to
the writer, who adds:
“The governor of Smyrna was
dragged along the wharf and carried
aboard a Greek ship. His wife was
wounded and his house looted. The
Turkish chief of staff was bayoneted
in the face and thrown into the
hold of the Greek cattle ship among
the animals. The senior doctor of
the Turkish army corps was mur
dered and his body mutilated.
Fingers of Turkish men and women
who wore rings were cut off whole
sale. Houses were looted, women
robbed of all their jewels.
“This was supposed to be an ab
solutely peaceful occupation in the
interests of law and order. Greece
had not even been at war with Tur
key. In no case did the Turks show
fight until they were attacked by the
Greeks. The civilian Greeks joined
with the invading soldiery in the
work of murder and pillage. And
the allied fleet acquiesced in these
proceedings, which were made possi
ble only by its presence.”
A member of the house of com
mons recently asked the government
representatives whether it was true
that the Greeks had massacred their
prisoners in Smyrna in full sight of
the allied war ships. Sir Cecil H.
Harmsworth, now secretary of for
eign affairs, replied that numerous
Turkish officers and men lost their
lives in that way but the Greek gov
ernment, he said, regretted the af
fair, and it was engaging the atten
tion of the British minister to Paris.
MACHINE THAT WEAVES
REED AND FIBER GOODS
TO AID WAR CRIPPLES
--
MENOMINEE, Mich., Aug. 14 (by
Special to Daily Times).—One million
dollars was refused here recently by
Marshall B. Lloyd for his new method
of producing reed and fiber goods,
and his machine for -weaving the fa
brics.
A group of American men interest
ed in the manufacture of baby car
riages, furniture and baskets, inspect
ed the device in Mr. Lloyd’s factory
and saw, for the first time in the his
tory of the world, a machine that
would weave reed fiber. Up to the
• -
present time this costly operation has
been done by hand. The Lloyd loom,
however, will weave the fabric thirty
times as fast as the most expert
hand-worker can, and with far greater
superiority.
A “jack pot” of $1,000,000 was
made up by the manufacturers during
the noon hour and offered Mr. Lloyd.
He turned it down. A short while
ago the Australian government pur
chased rights to Mr. Lloyd’s inven
tions for $250,000 in order to give in
dustrial assistance to returned wound
ed soldiers. The sight of a one
armed man operating the machine in
the Lloyd plant here convinced the
Hon. G. M. S. Manifold, member of
the Australian parliament, that his
country needed the machine to help
out its returned and crippled heroes.
One million dollars has been raised
here for the erection of a factory in
Menominee in which the Lloyd meth
od of production and loom will be
used. Construction of a plant that
will employ 800 men and women is
now well under way. When complet
ed it will be the largest baby carriage
and woven furniture factory in the
world.
BRUTAL PUNISHMENT
INFLICTED BY JAPANESE
ON KOREAN PRISONERS
TOKIO, July 3 (Correspondence of
Associated Press).—Japanese officials
in Korea, in discussing the punish
ment administered to Koreans in the
independence movement there, say
that the old Korean custom of flog
ging has been continued by the Jap
anese authorities. One reason given
by the Japanese for this was that the
prisons were insufficient to lodge
the large number of prisoners arrest
ed in the revolutionary movement.
The Japanese officials also declared
that the Koreans, themselves, some
times preferred flogging to paying a
fine.
Foreign newspapers have published
statements from foreigners in Korea
alleging that several Korean men
who were flogged in pursuance of
court sentences, were afterwards in
serious physical condition. Mention
was particularly made of five men
who had entered a local hospital at
Seoul, who had received for three
consecutive days thirty blows each.
r" --—-—■—■-■■■—■■---r- -~t
It is decided that the flesh was ter
ribly swollen and discolored and that
gangrene had set in.
One of the officials showed the
Associated Press correspondent the
instrument with which flogging is
done under the orders of the court.
It consists of two slender pieces of
wood tightly bound with hemp twine.
The convicted person is tied to a
wooden bench which is built some
thing in the form of a cross.
MODEST NEWSBOY HERO
RETURNS TO HIS BEAT
DES MOINES, Aug. 8 (by mail).—
Pat Ryan, a newsboy, has returned
to his old corner after an absence of
many months overseas. He wears
the Croix de Guerre.
“How did I get it? Oh, the big
chief gave me some papers to deliver
to another fellow,” he said. The rec
ords show that Corporal Ryan, Com
pany B. 168th Infantry, went deliber
ately through German barrages and
machine gun fire to deliver important
orders, and that his conduct was an
inspiration to his comrades.
Ryan also introduced American
newspaper enterprise in Paris, wfiiere
in a single day he sold 2,000 copies
of the Stars and Stripes. Then he
was made circulation manager of the
paper.
Now Pat is back at his old corner
here.
No one should be without an elec
tric plate, especially the kind with 3
