LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE lot of the
British officers who have now Joined
the new Turkish gendarmerie is not
particularly happy The headquarters
of their division is in Smyrna. Like
Englishmen, they made themselves
comfortable, and took a large house
outside the town. But before long the
increase of brigandage in the hills
round Smyrna drove them in from their
nice dwelling.
Turkish brigands are not slow to
seize good opportunities. BrigandaGe
has always been rife round Smyrna,
and the brigands have taken advan-
tage of the interval before the gen.
darmerie was sufficiently trained to
deal with them One of the most COM
mon methods in the Smyrna district
is for the peasants to train their fierce
big sheep-dog to hold up every Eu-
ropean they meet outside the town,
and the shooting of few of the fe-
rocious brutes has not improved rela-
tions between the brigands and the
