AMERICANS WILL
HONOR JENNY LIND
BANDITS ALONG BOSPHORUS,
HARASSING GREEKS AND
ENGLISHMEN ALSO.

CONSTANTINOPLE- Many Amer
leans have had narrow escapes in the
fighting which British and Greek
troops have kept up for several weeks
with the bandits which are harassing
the eastern short of the Bosphorus.
Beikos, a summer place 10 miles
north of this city reached by hourly
ferry service, has been the chief cen
ter of the fights between bands of ad-
herents of Mustapha Kennel Pasha,
Nationalist leader, and the British
Greek soldiers operating under the
artillery protection of British war
ships.
The American oil company is erect
ing two great steel tanks at Beikos,
which came we'll within the line of
fire between the rival forces. The
steel-riveters were compelled to flee
for their lives and for several days
bullets played tattoo on the tanks
which was nearly as constant as the
tune of the riveting machines. Many
Americans were in Summer camps
and cottages in the vicinity of Beikos
the night the fighting began, but
they speedily. moved to the western
short of the Bosphorus, where it was
possible for several nights to watch
the fighting on the Anatolian hills by
the light of the naval rockets and
searchlights used in directing the gun
merry. Robert College and Constan-
tinople College for Women, the two
American institutions of higher learn
ing on the Bosphorus, both commond-
ed an excellent view of the struggle
and were safely out of range of the
natinalist bullets.
Professor F. w. Kelsey, of the Uni
versity Of Michigan, was prevented by
the fighting in Anatolia from making
a survey of the famous battlefieds of
Caesar south of Samson. Professor |
Kelsey has been in Turkey for many !
weeks investigating old manuscripts /
and studying ruins of the Roman
civilization. He hoped to make the I
trip from Samsoun to Zile, about /
which one of Caesars best known
was waged, and had made
all arrangements for motor transpor-
tation. But the unsettled political
conditions and the activities of the va
rious bands forced him to abandon
the expedition.

RUSHING WORK ON
HIGHWAY AT GREER

Greer, Idaho-Work on the Greer
Bungalow state highway is progress
ing as rapidly as conditions will per-
nit, about mile and half of the
nine miles from Green to the top of
the hill being now about completed.
The work is nearly all in solid rock,
which has to be blasted out of the
highway. The work cannot be COM
pleted this year.
The village of Greer is a busy camp
at this time. Large crews of men
are making their headquarters here,
and all supplies are unloaded from
the railroad cars at this place for
the Greer-Bungalow highway.
A number of large government
trucks with canvas covers, looking
not unlike the "prairie schooners" of
other days, are now in use here.
