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

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.
