XEW YORK, Aug., 18— Charges
that Turkish officials decimated the
Greek population along tin* Rlack So:;
Coa t, 2f»0,00l) men, women and child
ren living between# Sinope and Ordou,
without the shedding of blood but by
‘‘parboiling” the victims in Turkish
hath: and turning them half clad out
! to die of pneumonia or other ills in the
snow of an Anatolian winter, are mad *
in a letter from Dr. Geoige E. White,
representative of the American Com
mittee for Relief in the Near East, j
made public here today.
Sinone was the birthplace of the
philosopher Diogenes, Dr. White re
calls, and Ordou is just beyond Cup'' i
Jason which is still preserved in mem
ory of tho Argonauts and the Golden
Kloeee. The letter, written to Profes
sor J. P. Xenides, secretary of the ■
Greek Relief Committee here, describ- j
ed th • new method of lidding the land
of its inhabitants which, it said, was
somewhat different from‘that employ
ed by the Turks against the Armen
ians.
Tlie wor.st of the climes laid to tin*
Turks, according to l)r. White, were
committed in the Winters of 11)10 and
! *»1T when orders were issued for th*-*
Importation of the* Greeks along the
P.laclc Sea coast. The people, he wrote
were crowded into the steam room •
of the baths in Chorum under the pre
tense of “santitary regulations” and
iftop being tortured for hours were
turned out of doors into siiow almo .
1 nee-deep. and without lodging or
food. Their garments, which had bemi
taken from them for fumigation. w«»re
lost, ruined or stolen. Most of the vie
tims, ill-clad and shivering, contracted
tuberculosis and other pulmonary di
seases and “died in swarms' on tls
way to exile, the letter declared.
Dr. White said that in the province
>f Bafra, where there were more than
*0,000 village Greeks, now less than
13,000 survive and ev(»rv Greek settle
•nont has been burned. The number of
orphans, including some Armenian am
Turkish children, in the entire di*
•rid. it was said, aggregated 60.000.
-Since the*armistice, the doctor wrote,
many of the deportees have been re
!i ning to their ruined homes.
