TURKISH SAVAGERY.

MASSACRES AMD DEPORTATIONS LONDON, August 29. The Constantinople correspondent of "The Times" says 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 or deporting*. Greeks and Armenians. Many Greeks from the Black' Sea littoral have been killed, and one convoy of deportees which started 900 strong, has reached Sivas with only SfOO left. Some 5000 Turkish Amnenians, including -women and children, have been deported. Many were massacred or died on the march. The Nationalists care littjle for European or American opinion,, but they profess to respect the opinion of Moslems m India. The correspondent writes: "Is it too much to ask the responsible leaders of Indian 9 Moslems to use tneir influence at Angora to prevent a repetition of the- horrors of 1915 and 1916. No prominent Indian's voice has ■ yet . denounced the Turkish tyranny over Christians."
