58 PERSECUTIONS OF THE GREEKS villages of Yeni-Chehir and Biledjik. The place where they are to settle is not known exactly, because the authorities take great care that the displacements of the Greeks be carried out as quietly as possible, but I was informed to-day by a Greek soldier (serving in the Turkish Army) that a good many families from Cydonia are encamped in a plain about an hour's distance from Broussa and that they begged him to notify me that those families which are on their way to Biledjik are dying from hunger and in need of speedy assistance." " About twenty-five inhabitants of Cydonia came to me in a pitiful condition and told me their unheard of sufferings with sobs and tears. According to their narrative, the persecutions began the week before Palm Sunday; they continued the entire Holy Week and were finally intensified on Good Friday; they had been expelled in small groups and were only allowed to carry with them some clothing which they were selling on their way in order to buy bread; furthermore the gendarmes on the way had been demanding money from them. I asked them to give me information about the Bishop of Cydonia, and a woman who was a neighbor of the Bishop told me that she saw him for the last time on Good Friday in front of the Bishop's home selling his brasier to some Turks, and that he told her that he was intending to go to Magnesia, the city of his birth; I infer from this that he has been left free to select his place of residence. According to their story, the number of the deported inhabitants of Cydonia and its suburbs is from thirty-five to forty thousand; that from the time of their deportation up to to-day 120 persons of the group that has come here, have died, particularly of hunger and hardships. My informants belong to a section composed of 100 families settled in the villages of Yailadjik and Tahtali which are situated two hours distant from Broussa; they came here to ask my aid in their distress both in their own behalf and in that of the others, and
PERSECUTIONS OF THE GREEKS 59 in particular to ask me for bread because many of them had not eaten for 24 hours. I immediately procured, to the best of my ability, the bread which was needed, and I took steps with the proper authorities so that they might be provided with bread cards which are absolutely necessary in order to receive bread. It seems that they will be settled in various parts of the country and many of them will be established in the surrounding villages."
