' Y W CRUELTIES OF BULGARS Optometrists naturally attach more importance to what you want when yonr eyre trouble you—which is com fort and satisfaction and quality and service. Only Quarter of Population In Seres After Two Years' Occupation. When Seres, In Greek Macedonia, was occupied by the Bulgarians in De cember, 1916, the inhabitants num bered 24,000. Since that time 5,000 of these have died. 11,000 have been de ported, and 2,000 men and boys have been put to work on the construction of roads. Today the population Is be tween 5,000 and <1,000. Bulgarian documents which have been found in the Macedonian towns show that large numbers of deaths were due to the indifference of the Bulgarian authorities to the condition of the civilian population. Wholesale deportations were made and cruelties Inflicted which were not justified by the necessities of war. Not only were the military authorities Involved In this work, but the civil officers were tyrannous toward the people. Ch nr ch cs were looted and private houses were stripped of their furni ture, which was placed In officers' quarters. The Interment of bodies in the cemeteries were made in a hap hazard way. nnd no Inscriptions were placed over the graves, so that surviv ing relatives do not know the resting places of their loved ones.
