BELGIUM. Oct. 18. (By the Associated
Press.) The speed with which -the Ger
man armies are retreating from Bel
gium and Northern France makes it ap
pear that they are twice as anxious to
get out now as they were to get in
four years ago. The country, freed
from the Huns, today is wild with
Joy.
In Lille the population celebrated
thruugn last night, shooting fireworks
and dancing in the streets, while
streams of old and young women and
elderly men paraded around arm in

always been regarded as one of the
most pitiful events in history. In these
outbursts of fanaticism about 60,000
people were killed. In the massacre of
St. Bartholomew about 30.000 human
beings lost their lives. The Sicilian
Vespers, which has always figured as
one of the most fiendish outbursts of
this kind, caused the destruction of
8000. Volumes have been written about
the Spanish Inquisition under Torque-
mada. yet In the 18 years of his admin
Istration only a little more than 8000
heretics were done to death. Perhaps
the one event in history that most re
sembles the Armenian deportations was
the expulsion of the Jews from Spain
by Ferdinand and Isabella. According
to Prescott 1(0.000 were uprooted from
their homes and scattered broadcast
over Africa and Europe.
Yet all these previous persecutions
and m'cre certain would come sooner or
lairr.
Flowers plucked from nearby fields
and roses from gardens were thrown
into automobiles and pressed upon
every man wearing the British uni
form. The fighting British troops did
not sweep through the city, but passed
on either side of it in hot pursuit of
the Germans, the last of whom cleared
out at S o'clock yesterday morning
after blowing up the bridges on the
other side of the town. This was a
Useless proceeding, because the Brit
ish troops did not need them. They
went outside the city because they had
no desire to give the Germans the
slightest excuse for bombarding it
after they were forced to leave.
Residests Retara to Homes.

repeatel everywhere over the vast
stretches of territory wrested from the
Germans. All the roads in the rear
now contain the familiar carts of refu

ons looked strange. The men, women
and children with them are laughing
and smiling as they hurry to get back
to their home-. The last time they
traveled these roads they were going
in the other direction, fleeing in terror
from the enemy.
Many of these refugees living In
lone seared by war will not find their
homes at all.

the war correspondent of the Petit
Journal.

Undoubtedly religious fanaticism was
an Impelling motive with the Turkish
and Kurdish rabble who slew Arme
nians as a service to Allah, but the
men who really conceived the crime
had no such motive. Practically all of
them were atheists, with no more re
spect for Mohammedanism than for
Christianity, and with them the one
motive was cold-blooded, calculating
state policy.
Greeks Also Deported.
The Armenians are not the only sub
ject people in Turkey which have suf
fered from this policy of making Tur
key exclusively the country of the
Turks. The story which I have told
about the Armenians I couli also tell
with certain modifications about the
Greeks and the Syrians. Indeed the
Greeks were the first victims of this
nationalizing idea. I have already de
scribed how, in the few months pre
ceding the European war, the Ottoman
government began deporting Its Greek
subjects along the coast of Asia Minor.
These outrages aroused little Interest
in Europe or the United States, yet in
the space of three or four months about
400,000 Greeks were taken from their
age-long homes in the Mediterranean
litoral and removed to the Greek Islands
in the Aegean Sea. For the larger part
these were bona-tide deportations: that
is, the Greek inhabitants were actually
removed to new places and were not
The martyrdom of the Greeks there
fore comprised two periods, that ante
dating the war and that which began
In the early part of 1915. The first
affected the Greeks living on the sea
coast of Asia Minor. The second af
fected those living in Thrace and in the
territories surrounding the Sea of Mar
mora, the Dardanelles, the Bosporus
and the coast of the Black Sea.
Greeks Die ky Thousands.
These latter, to the extent of several
hundred thousand, were sent to the in
terior of Asia Minor. The Turks adopt
ed almost identically the same pro
cedure against the Greeks is that which
they bad adopted against the Ar
menians. They began by incorporating
the Greeks into the Ottoman army and
then transforming them into labor bat
talions, using them to build roads in
the Caucasus and other scenes of action.
These Greek soldiers, just like the
Armenians, died by thousands from
cold, hunger and other privations. The
same house-to-house searches for hid
den weapons took place in the Greek
villages and Greek men and women
were beaten and tortured just as were
their fellow Armenians. The Greeks
had to submit to the same forced requi
sitions, which amounted in their case,
as in the case of the Armenians, merely
to plundering on a wholesale scale.
The Turks attempted to . force the
Greek subjects to become Mohamme
dans; Greek girls, just like Armenian
girls, were stolen and taken to Turkish
harems and Greek boys were kidnaped
and placed in Moslem households. The
Greeks, just like the Armenians, were
accused of disloyalty to the Ottoman
government; the Turks accused them
of furnishing supplies to the English
submarines in the Marmora and also of
acting as spies. The Turks also de
clared that the Greeeks were not loyal
to the Ottoman government and that
they also looked forward to the day
when the Greeks inside of Turkey
would become part of Greece.

Admiral . Keyes Welcomed by
Excited Residents.
BELGIAN M0NARCHS ARRIVE
King and Queen Hurry Into City,
Where They Are Greeted With
Great Joy by All People.
LONDON, Oct 18. Admiral Keyes'
entry into Ostend was made in the
course of operations designed to clear
up the military situation between Nieu
port and Ostend, which was obscure, the
Admiralty announced today. The naval
force withdrew when the Germans, who
were not clear of the town, oegan
shelling the warships.
The withdrawal was for the purpose
of saving the lives of civilians and also
avoiding further bombardment of the
town by the Germans, as German shells
were falling close to a crowd of ex
cited inhabitants.
The text of the Admiralty state
ment reads:
"Admiral Keyes reports that on the
morning of Thursday the military
situation between Nieuport and Ostend
was obscure. It seemed uncertain
whether the enemy had withdrawn
from the coast. Up to then no fires
had been started by him either in Mid
dlekerke or Ostend.
British Are Welcomed.
'A division of destroyers surrounded
the coast, assisted by aircraft. They
arrived off Ostend at 11. o'clock, at
which hour one of our aircraft landed
on the beach, where large crowds of
the inhabitants had assembled.
'I proceeded into the harbor on
whaler and landed about 11:30, meet
ing with a great reception. The enemy
at the time was not clear of the town
and a light battery at Le Coq opened
fire at the ships. Two shells, falling
on the beach close to a crowd, ex.
These latter chareres were unaues I cited the inhabitants.

tionably true; that the Greeks, after
suffering for five centuries the most un
speakable outrages at the hands of the
Turks, should look longingly to the day
when their territory should be part of
he fatherland, was to be expected. The
Turks, as in the case of the Armenians,
seised upon this as an excuse for a vio
lent onslaught on the .whole race.
Everywhere the Greeks were gathered
in groups and, under the so-called pro
tection of Turkish gendarmes, they
were transported, the larger part on
foot, into the interior. Just how many
were scattered in this fashion is no
eflnitely known, the estimates vary-
ng anywhere from 200,000 up to 1.000.-
000.
These caravans suffered great priva
tions, but they were not submitted to
general massacre as were the Ar
menians, and this Is probably the rea
son why the outside world has not
heard so much about them. The Turks
showed them this greater consideration
not from any motive of pity. The
Greeks, unlike the Armenians, had i
government which was vitally Interest
ed in their welfare. At this time there
was a general apprehension among the
Teutonic allies that Greece would enter
the war on the side of the entente, and
a wholesale massacre of Greeks in Asia
Minor would unquestionably have pro
duced such a state of mind in Greece
that its pro-German King would have
been unable longer to keep his country
out of the war.
It was only a matter of state policy,
therefore, that saved those Greek sub
jects of Turkey from all the horrors
that befell the Armenians, nut their
sufferings are still terrible and consti
tute another chapter in the long story
of crimes for which civilization will
hold the Turk responsible.

Daily Telegraph In referring to the
German withdrawal from the channel

U-boat campaign and the threat to
Great Britain. The evacuation of these
places, it adds, is doubly humiliating
and morally ruinous for the authors of
the war.

similar evidence is being obtained con

Cavalry division, which bad been dis

that the spirit of the men was broken
principally because instead of getting
rest after their hard fighting they
had again been sent into battle. .
Peace talk is also said to be having
a demoralizing effect on the .morale of
the men. gradually breaking down their
