The Daily Express’ Smyrna correspondent relates a tragic story of the Greek occupation of Smyrna. Greek troops provoked the Turkish soldiers to firo a few shots. Then a horrible man hunt followed, Greek civilians joining in with the troops.

Tho Turk's who surrendered to the Crock troops were bayoneted, clubbed, and flung into the,sea, oven when unarmed and under escort. Turkish houses and shops were raided. When the news of the Smyrna happenings wore known, similar man-hunts took place in the .surrounding villages, Greek troops handing rifles and bayonets to civilians, including boys from 12 to 16.

The Turks appeal to Britain and France not to hand over Turkey to their enemies.—Ans.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
