Of this description, it is seen thad 815 prospering communities have been totally ruined, all the Greek villages with their schools plundered and i|34 churches and 960 burnt, fortunes won by 500 years hard labours, remounting to more than 2 milliards of francs have been stolen and carried off and a Population of 303238 men has been exterminated by the fire and the steel. Many of them have been hanget or died by the cold. The massacres near Kavak, Djoomboosh han, Selamelik and Kiz Alan and the slaughter of ^da, Karapertchine, Teke keuy, Merzifoun, the inhabitans of the last city having been exterminated in the building of the French School, and the numerous, hangings of Amassia serve as an underniable proof of this extermination. These monstruous deeds assassinations, violations, robberies, sequestrations, arbitrary confiscations of fortunes, and every kind of unheard of atrocities committed by the Turks whether Unionists or Kemalists are much more horrible than the massacres of Armen ians in 1915. De ce tableau il ressort que 815 communautes grecques florissantes ont ete totalement detruites, tons les villages grecs avec leurs 1134 eglises et 960 ecoles sont pilles et mis en feu, des propriet^s acquises depuis 500 ans et s' elevant a des milliards furent enlevees et volees et toute une population de 303238 personnes a ete extermin6e par le feu et le fer, le coup de fusil et la pendaison, la faim et le froid et k cet extermination servent des temoignages irrefutables les massacres en masse pres de Cavak, Djimbouch han, Selamelik etSllz alan et les holocaustes 4 Ada, Carapertchine, Tekk6 keuy et Merzifoun, dans I'etablissement meme de 1' ecole Fran^aise et les pendaisons innombrables d' Amassia, etc. Devant ces actos :

monstrueux, assassinats, viols, vols, sequestrations et confiscations arbitraires de biens et toutes sortes d'atrocites inoiues

commises par les Turcs, Unionistes ou K6malistes, surpassent de beaucoup en horreur les massacres Arm^niens de 1915.

It is impossible to describe the orgies commit ted against the virgins and children. While they were performing these cruelties, they shouted ad their victims; «Where ara now your English, your Americans, and your Ghrist to help you?» At Baffra, having extorted from every man, from 50 to 2000 pounds, they deported the male population and near the town they killed in a week's time 200 of them. Once the expatriation completed the soldiers together mercilessly killed, or thrown back into the

fire,

with the Turkish inhabitants plundered the houses and establishments of the

Greeks. The pillage lasted for several days. The women and children who escaped from the massacre, are lacking of everything, even of their daily br«ad. Illnesses and hunger complete the total annihilation. All the Greek village? around Samsoun were laid in ashes; the fortunes of the Greeks robbed, the rirgins and young boys dishonoured, and driven to the mountains. Many of the latter ones, in order to avoid the disgrace in the hands of the Turks, committed suicide. Por the same reason, many parents killed their owi; daughters and children. These are some of the starements, told by ocular witnesses, to the Cen tral Council of the

it is prohibited to sell feread or any other food to the Christians. Thus these miserables are condemned to the terrible •death from starvation. In vain they supplicate for a iiece of bread, offering whatever precious they still possess. In vain they implored in the streets tke chariry ofthe Turks. The latter assisted with pleassure and satisfaction to tke death of their victims.

Under pain

of

imprisonment

In the orphanage of Baffra 17 orphans who died from starvation remained unburied for several days, as the burial was prohibited. Finalh", as through the discomposition of the corpses the bad smell grew intolerable, the Turkish authorities permitted the interment of all of them together im a ditch sf the Greek cemetery. The bodies of the poor little martyrs were previously dragged along the streets with stings round their necks.

The inhabitants of the Greek village Mooamli, three hoars from Baffra, were all, 250 in number, shut in the house of Dzigalouglou and burnt alive. The same fate aw aited the villages vSourmeli, Ak konney, kizi-giol &Ada in the district of Amisos. Such was the horror of

many Turkish soldiers fainted, but when revived, were forced again by their officers to continue their duty. Many Greek peasants, who by miracle escaped death were seen at Baffra hopelessly insane. The Government pretended to be indifferent because, as it was proved afterwards, the same fate awaited the town of Baffra. The Greeks of Baffra no longer hoping to save the villages triedif possible to save those in the town. Witk this object in view they promised big ransom to Zemil Bey, under-Governor of Baffra, and to other officials. Zemil Bey gave assurances on his word of honour that Baffra ran no danger, tjnfortunately in this case as in numerous others before, it was proved that honour and Turkish nature are incompathese savage scenes that

Perhaps nothing in History ever occured qo tragic as the funeral ser%dce and the appropriate sermon by the priest Papayanni in anticipation of the fate which awaited them. After the massacre of the seven ptiests, the troops and the armed peasants climbed the walls of the Church and fired from there, then the bayonet and the axe were utilised. One of the martyrs, named Nicolas Jordanoglou offered his last Ltq. 300 for the privilege of being shot instead of any other kind of death. Four wounded, the only ones who miraculously escaped and fled by night to Nepien (mount) the centre of the Greek refugies marrated the above verbation. priests

Second convoy This included 500 Baifrian Greeks, two of them being the well known merchants George Kouzloo and Kyriako Solomonoglou. Kouzloo killed on the way and his head was taken to the under-Governor of Baffra. All the others were shut in the Church of the village Selamelfk & burned aleve except a few who escaped and reported the fact. Meantime researches within the town were carried on more assiduously. Buildings were demolished in search of refugies. But none were discovered except those who surrendered from panic. The under-Governor repeatedly invited with threats all the escaped male population to surrender immediately to the local authorities but without effect. Many men perceiving the danger of remaining longer in the town ran during the night through the military zone which closely encicled the town and reached with deranged minds their companions at Nepien. The narrator of this tragical record is one of the first wbo evScaped. During the exit many men were killed, but about 5oo women and children were saved by the help of forthcoming companions from Nepien. At this unexpected turn of things the Governor in order to be more sure of its object conceived the plan of dividing the remainder of the male population into two categories-the one comprising men subject to military service and the other men to be exiled. It was then proclaimed that those who were
