The Frankfort Crescent News .-lays: "A lalated me.sBape from Mnnaiilir. Mareilonia, receivefl by Stephen and Jame.-i Terninas, who operate the American Shinniir I'arlt'rs in this city, told how their father and sister had oeri.'hed at the hands of the llerman soldiers during the Herman occupation

r:f Monastir several nonths aro. The 'etltr, written hv other relatives in .Monastir, was dispatched five months ago. Although large portions had been deleted by censors, the tale of -utfering contam d in the message ivas heart rending for the two young r.rceWs heir. "The letter was forv.-irrVil by Peter 'i.

When resi.:ance was offer--d it meant (lr:uh a, the hands of the Teuton soldkrs who :hot their victims, or niutil ited them with bayonets. "The news w at all the more tragic because of the fact that the Terpinas hoy:-, had 1" nn making plans for two years to bring their father and sister 'o Ametira. Kight months ago they -;ent funds to Monastir to nay for their 't aosportaiion to this country. No word was received yet the young men have daily expected word from theii pint Ives. The w ord, ghastly and horrifying, came at last. "The letter tore news that resident: of Monastir were starving to death. Hundreds of (irvrk and Serbian people were perishing.) Some have money hut can buy ro food. Other? live on grasses, raisins and rice. The fields have been ruined and the orrhnrds lostroyed.
