Are The Indians Turks?

Bowling Green Times Journal
An important chronological discovery
has been made by the students Of the
University of Campeche, that the
language of the Uampeche Indians and
that OF the Turks rs almost identical.
Turks coming directly from their
country to Mexico find no difficulty
in making their wants known to the
Indians. and within few weeks are
able to talk the language fluently.
Ethnologists of the City of Mexico
will attempt to establish the relation
between these Indians and the Turks,
but it would seem TO be as difficult-a
problem as to explain the meaning of
the discovery In the State of Ooxaca
