TO' FOREIGN LANDS
VI3TIMS OF DIPLOMACY GREEKS AND TURKS FORCED TO LEAVE HOME. DANGER OF STARVATION. By Tolayraph.—PTesa Assn.-—Copyright Australian, and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received October 11, 10.10 p.m.) LONDON October 11. The “Daily Express 1 ’ correspondent in Athens says: “Thousands of men, women, and children —Turkish subjects —throng the quays at Mitylene. The Lausanne 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 of Greeks await steamers to carry them to the Motherland that is a foreign land to them. “As I cable, four steamers are ready in the harbour. On the quays women clutch bundles of clothing,' pots and pans. Many men have pushed hand-barrows for miles. The number of victims of both nationalities involved is estimated at over half a million. Tlmir transportation must take months, out in the meantime it is feared that many will die of hunger, as little organised preparation has been made for the exodus.”
