 These frequent assaults are giving the army authorities much concern, as they haven't sufficient troops to leave in the rear to cope with these highwaymen.
 These "bad men of the East as they are called, are continually cut ting the Greek army's telephone lines and hindering the transport of mu- nitions.
 While it is clear that these Chetas are not actively connected with ke- malls army, the Greek authorities as- sert that they have the sanction and cooperation of the Turkish leader. Many of the members of the tribe who have been caught by the Greeks have acknowledged that they were once in the Turkish Nationalist army. Indeed, it has been said that Mustapha Kemal's army had it's or igin largely in the Cheta bands.
 The depredations of the Chetas are not confined to one area, but extend all over Asia Minor. At Idmid re gently, they pillaged Il villages ant then burned them. An official o the Bagdad railroad told the Associ ated Press correspondent that he hat lost 19 relatives at the hands of these brigands.
