SIORY OF INF FIGI1T
IN CITY OF ATHENS
The result of fifteen months’ diplo
matic delay in dealing with King Con
stantine, who showed his hand when
he dismissed M. Y’enizelos in October.
1 PIhas been the sacrifice of British
lives in the treacherous attack made
by the Creeks upon Allied landing
parties in Athens.
Mr. J. M. N. Jeffries, our special
correspondent in Athens, sends the
following account of the lighting in
the Creek capital. Further news will
be found in our War Diary.
Piraeus, December o.— 0:o0 p. m.—
The following tre the exact facts ol
what befell the British forces at
Athens on Friday:
Nearly «>tH) men were landed. The\
arrived at Athens without incident
early in the morning. Two hundred#
remained at the Zappeion. near the
royal palace, and others went to oc
cupy the munition factory about two
miles away. There they found a de
tachment of Creek Regulars, who
seem to have been most correct in
their behaviour, the colonel command
ing saying that he would not offer
resistance. He asked the British of
ficers on their part not to proceed to
hostile measures.
The British officer agreed, and his
troops began to eat their lunch quiet
ly. An order came soon after, when
the meal was nearly finished, for the
Briti>h troops to return to the Zappe
ion. The Greek commander was in
formed of this, and while the troops
were leaving their lunch and prepar
ing to get into marching order, sud
denly from all sides an utterly un
provoked fire was opened on them by
Greeks.
Half of our men were then with
drawn to I’haleron (on the coast) and
half held the munition factory against
the enemy’s tire till the agreement
was come to in the evening to cease
hostilities.
It was durnig this resistance that
the episode of the men being taken
through the wall (rei'erred to in the
telegram which appears below) oc
curred. 1 learn that tho e who re
mained outside were occupying posi
tions under order that the hole had tv
be battered because the ordinary en
trance wa» impracticable owing to the
Greek tire. Our men were quite cool
m
throughout.
The bodies of eight of our dead are
at the Russian hospital at the Pir
aeus. Thirty British were severely
wounded and ten wounded.
1 saw a pile of rough coffins in
which were being placed the dead
French sailors and officers. A young
ensign of the flagship, with a terrible
wound in his head, was being laid,

clad in his uniform, on a bier. Some
of these French, an ollicer told me,
were found stripped where they had
fallen, and two brave fellows were
brought out as 1 watched with rough
robes round them to replace their lost
uniforms.
A chaplain who accompanied the
French detachment to Filopappus
gave me a clear account of. what hap
pened. "We were marching along'
quietly, he said, “and had almost
reached the foot of the hill. The
carts containing our transport follow
ed. Our men's rilles were not even
loaded, strict orders having been
given to that effect. Suddenly uni
formed ilreek soldiers appeared on
both sides of the road and seized the
carts. 1 was with the rear of the
company, and we fell back^to release
the transport. V\e demanded back
our carts hud told the 0recks that
wc had come only to occupy positions <
and not to attack them in any way.
“Speaknig good French, the com
manding ollicer said, ‘No, you can t
have them; ycu shall not have them
back till you give back all you have
seized from us.’ Our lieutenant, true
to his orders not to open hostilities
sent messengers forward to other iTe-;
tachments which were now well ad
vanced. None of these messengers
came back.
"Meanwhile we saw Greek troops
approaching on every side and we
were in danger of being surrounded.
Our lieutenant ordered the men to lie
down along the road and to spread
out to avoid encirclement if possible.
The Greeks were also lying down im
mediately facing us lot) yards away.
Hut as no messengers returned and
more and more forces began to man
oeuvre around us. the lieutenant or
dered the men to rOe and charge with
their rifles.
“They had hardly started when a
fusillade opened and our sailors were
falling on every side. It was not war,
it was massacre. Those who escaped
replied to the fire nad retreated by
the electric railway track up the hill
side to rejoin the main body.”—Ton-)
