have been made custodians of the pris-
oners, and it is claimed that they are
holding them in the wooded recesses of
Jeltepe, which is in Turkish territory,
about 20 miles into the mountains

version of the situation is that, be-
cause of the early and heavy fall of
snow in the mountains, the brigands.

from the mountains and are now To-
Gated near Nevrokup, which is in the
foothills of the mountains in which Jel-
tepe is located. The third report comes
