INCREDIBLE HARDSHIPS
GREEKS IN THE DODECANESE DIABOLICAL FASCISTS (Received December 13, 1 p.m.) LONDON, December 12. Reference to the incredible hardships suffered by the Greeks in the Dodecanese Islands was made in a statement issued by the Greek Dodecanese Committee.
"The Italians arrested all the mala Greeks and herded them into moats and trenches, where they were made to sleep on muddy ground and were given rotten food in very small quantities," it was stated. "The gaolers removed the dead and dying daily. The Italians requisitioned all the cattle and foodstuffs and compelled many Greeks to subsist on herbs. Those still alive were more like ghosts than living persons. We proclaim before God and man that civilisation has known no more diabolical enemy than Fascist Italy."
