At the present time hundred* of
thousands of refugees are crowd
ed into Salontiti, Macedonia and
western Thrace, dependent upbn
government doles and what feed
ing can be given by British and
American relief organizations. The
immediate purpose of the commis

isclentlc estimate of the nature of
the soils, the division of the (ref

assignment to various districts and
the providing of houses, bams,
livestock, implements and seeds
which will enable them to get Into

-The commission will follow the
Russian system of building villa

Each settlement will consist ol
about 2,000 acres. Houses will be
