THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, BREEK COLONITS - FACE STARVATION People Pershaded to Come From Caucasus Unfed i and Unclothed. BY HIRAM K. MODERWELL. P Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921. ATHENS, Greece, April 11.—American relief commissioners have learned , that the horrible conditions of the Greek colonists at their camp. Kal- amaia, near Saloniki, are still con- tinuing, though called to the atten- tion of the Greek government long ago. These people are not refugees, but colonists of the Greek race per- suaded by the Venizelos government to come from the Caucasus, which had been their home for many years, for the purpose of Hellenizing Turkish Thrace. Thirty-seven thousand Greeks have n brought into Thrace and 16,000 are now in the Kalamaia camp unfed * and unclothed. The camp contractor asserts that he cannot furnish sup- plies ‘because he has not been paid by the Greek government. Naked Children Dying. Americans saw naked children dying from starvation there and found that typhus was raging with no sanitation or segregation. There are from forty to fifty deaths daily. Col. Olds of the Red Cross protested to the Athens government, which promised to vedy the situation. but was eva- sive in_its answer. The Red Cross sent large quantities &f supplies. which were received on the promise of the government to pay freight charges, but when the goods arrived at_ Saloniki the transportation officials refused to permit them to be landed until the charges were paid. The situ- ation not remedied by the Greek * Red Cross or the Greek Patriotic So- ciety. which was incorporated for the purpose of public benevolence. The Americans hope to relieve the distress despite all difficulties. Lavish Spending in Athens. In the face of this situation money has been lavishly spent in Athens. where the government paid out sevefil hun- dred thousand drachmas for the mar- rage- ceremonies of a Greek princess and the crown prince of Rumania. She received a dowry of 300.000 drachmas (369,000) by vote of parliament. Queen received a salary of 20,000 chmas (340,000) as regent after the l-\-th of King Alexander. King Con- ‘s:antine is demanding 7,000,000 drachmas ($1,400.000) salary for the period of his exile of three and a half vears and in the future he wants a double salary, or uu.no drachams ($800,000) instead of 000 drachams ($400,000).

Brown of Whitacre, Va, when he pleaded guilty in a magistrate's court here to a war- rant charging him with assault, “for T know I was right.” Brown said he “cleaned up the whole family” of William Largent. his next-door neighbor, a week ago, because Largent's father-in- law, James Shuler, a Union war veteran. had repeatedly nounced former President Wilson in_most violent language. Brown said he had been calling at the Largent home on Sundays for a long time, and that he list- ened patiently to Shuler's op- probrious_epithets with reference to Mr. Wilson, but that on Sun- day of last weck he lost patience anl gave the old man a “genteel thrashing.” Largent and others interfered, and it soon became a free-for-all fight, during which heads were aracked and some blood spilled. Brown said he left when thought the Largent and Shuler contingent had enough- Marriage Licenses. ge licenses have been issued to the of Dayton, Ohio, and Fllnfl' B.
