GREEK WOMEN
FALL VICTIMS TO
BRUITISH TURKS
DRUMRIGHT HAS-
A PLACE NOW
where you can enjoy a lunch
or meal served in a clean and
tasty manner.
Athens, Greece, Oct. 2G.—'Greek
authorities have received information
which convinces them that not alone
the Turk but his German ariv < r
were responsible the deportation
of Greeks from h dominion , a.s
a consequent ich 700,000 have
suffered persei . .1 or death.
It is asserted that the Greek lega-
tion at Constantinople protest -d to
the then King Constantino of Greece
from the beginning of the deporta-
tions but received no assistance or en-
couragement from him. The legation
then lodged a protest with Talaat
Bey, the Turkish grand vizier.
His reply, as shown by official pa-
pers, was that "these measures are
taken by advice of our German ad-
visors." The Greek legation then
took up the subject with the Ge rman
general, Lim-in von Sanders, who i>
declared to have replied that the pres-
ence of the Greek communities within
the Ottoman empire was dangerous to
military operations and that he was
"only executing the orders of the
German general staff."
An account of the prosecution of
the Greeks which has been given to
the Associated Press states:
"The method of depopulation
adopted has been very very similar to
the method adopted with regard \> the
Armenian races. During the night,
armed irregular troops of the Turkish
army would form a cordon around
the doomed district. The inhabitant
would be awakened by means of bells
and ordered to evacuate the village
in ten minutes, for miliary reasons.
No extension of time was allowed,
one object being that the victims
should not be able to take anything
with them, either food or goods. In
the event of delay, the troops drove
forth the terrified people at the point
of the bayonet.
"The moment that the people had
gone, hordes of bapdits and irre gular
soldiery poured into the empty vil-
lages and looted and burned the
houses in a frenzy of destruction,
while the inhabitants, old men, women
and children, as well as the aide-
bodied, were on ths march.
"Soon after the march began, the
process of extermination began to be
put into effect Men were separated
from their women and children, and
parties were made up for a trek to
various places, usually locations in
far-distant parts of Asia Minor.
Needless to say, few of these parti*
ever reached their destination, beiiu
gradually killed off by exposure or
starvation. Thousands died in bar
ren desert lands. Without food or
drink, and poorly clad, a speedy death
at the hands of the soldier would
have been welcomed by many. The
soldiers, however, seldom attempted
direct killings at this stage, except
of refugees who attempted o .-ape, the
soldiery generally being content to
let hunger and thrist and exposure do
the work of extermination foT them.
"The lot of the women and
children was the usual one, which has
been described many times in accounts
of the Armenia deportaitons. Being
defenseless, they fell a prey to the
first passer-by. Any Turk along tin-
way who fanci< hild or a youn.
woman, mer k posession, and
thousands o air Gre ks are now
interned in Mussulman villages, for-
cibly 'converted' to Islam and forced
to live as servants or concubine - of
the Turkish peasantry.
"In the neighborhood of Constanti-
nople many of the deportees managed
to return and appeared in the streets
of the capital, starving, begging and
sleeping in the back .streets and : 1 -
leys. To abate this csandal the Turk-
ish government had the police collect
hundreds of these wretched persons
and concentrated them at Pan aldi,
where their fate is not yet known."
It is declared that, as a result of
these deportations, all Greek commu-
nities have been eliminated in the
Thracian regions of Demotica, Sufli.
Istranja and Eregli, from the coast
of the sea of Marmora from the pe-
ninsula of Artaki, from all the vil-
lages along the Bosphorus and from
the coast of the Black sea.

BOYS' AND CIRLS' CLUBS
It may be of interest to the read-
ers of this paper to know what is
being done in the way of organiza-
iton aomng the boys and girls of the
ounty.
We will say to begin with that
wherever we have visited the schools
the pupils from 10 to 18 years are
very much interested in the organiza-
tion of boys' and girls' clubs.
Miss Price, the woman agent, and
myself with S. O. Henshaw and Mr.
i:. B. Shotwell, field agent, visited
. Jiools and organized clubs at the
following locations:
Wyatt sc hool, Olive school, Depew
school, Newby school, Picket Prairie
tchool and Lake Side school. The
total number of members enrolled
was 91.
The enrollment cards have been
?nt out to the boys and girls who
will check the clubs they wish to work
with and return them to us to be re
ported to Stillwater.
The boys may join the corn, cotton,
peanut, crop rotation, wheat and the
fattening or breeding phase of th
Calf and Pig clubs, and the Poultry
lub. The girls may join the Better
Bread club, Canning club, and the
Poultry club.
We would like very much to have
the parents who have boys or girls
f membership age (between 10 and
!8 years), make a study of the club
work and take an interest in its de
\ elopment in Creek county.
One of the objects of the club work
is to make the farm life more inter-
esting to the boys and girls so they
will want to stay on the farm instead
of flocking to the town and cities
Another reason for the efforts put
forth in the club work is the education
of the boy in scientific farming, stock
aising and home economics. Th
ommunity will be benefitted by the
•fforts in raising registered stock
better corn, cotton or ohickens.
We nsk the co-operation of every
breeder of registered stock and pure
seed corn, cotton, etc., to the end
hat the standard of quality produced
in Creek county will be raised from
year to year.
We wi! lbe glad to organize a club
in any ce>mmunity where we can nave
nough members to make a success
and where we can be a benefit in any
way. J. W. RILEY,
County Agent.
