Just received from J. J. Handaaker,
State director of Hie Near East Relief.
The Turks declared that all refu
gees remaining in .Smyrna Sunday,
October first, would be deported. In
spite of this threat, American relief
workers continued to transport the
Miffereri to placet of safety on Orcein
itJands and the mainland, according
to a cable received by Mr. Handsaker
October Hb Thirty six thousand
were taken away on I'riday, but on
Saturday morning another 50,900
appeared who had straggled into the
ruined city over night. Those ar
riving in the city reported hundreds
dying by the roadside of exhaustion.
Turkish bandits were robbing and
maltreating the fugitives. New born
Infants were dying in their mothers'
arms. Children separated from their!
paranta were crying in the streets. I
Among the 2;0,000 refugee are!
more than 5,000 infants, all of whom I
are suffering.
The one spot of cheer in all this'
desolation is the relief station, over
which floats, the American flag.
Sixteen hundred sacks of Hour have!
been landed at Mii.vlene for the 100,
000 refugees. A total of :i00,00o
has been appropriated More be! ft I
