TURKS DEPORTING GREEKS.
Civilian Concentration Camp Victims Attacked and Despoiled.
Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES.
ATHENS, Aug. 20. (dispatch to The London Daily Chronicle.)--The Turkish authorities in the Black Sea regions are acting toward the Greeks in the same fashion as the Germans have done with regard to the civil populations of the occupied portions of northeastern France.
The Turkish authorities, acting on instructions from Constantinople, where all power is still in the hands of the Germans, are rounding up civilians in a considerable number of villages and sending them in batched to concentration camps in the interior.
This means practically a sentence of death for in large numbers they are forced to go afoot, absolutely without food. En route these pitiful caravans are attacked by Turks, who rob them of whatever they have in their possession, unhappy mothers being deprived of their children.
The deportations are on a considerable scale.
