A DOUBLE EXILE
EXCHANGE OF TURKS AND GREEKS
PAINFUL RESULT OF TREATY.
LONDON, 11th October. The "Daily Express>" Athens correspondent says: "Thousands of men, women, and children, Turkish subjects, throng the quays of Mitylene. The Lauranne Treaty decrees that they must be transported from Greek soil to Asia Minor, a land most of them have never seen. Simultaneously in Asia Minor thousands Greeks await steamers to carry them to their Motherland, which is a foreign land to them. As I cable, four steamers are ready in the harbour. On the quays women clutch bundles of children's clothing-, pots, and pans. Many men have pushed hand-barrows forlmiles. The number of victims of both nationalities involved is estimated at over half a million. The transportation must take months. . In the meantime, it is* feared that many will die of hunger, as little organised preparation has been made for the exodus."
