GREEK ARMIES
EVACUATE ASIA
minor SPEEDILY
Officers Appealed to Allies
to Arrange ArmiStice and
Assist in r ~emoving
Christians.

LONDON.-News of the successive
reverse suffered by the Greeks at the
hands of the Turkish nationalists in
Asia Minor is believed here to forecast
early evacuation of the entire area by
the Greek army
The evacuation has already begun, ac-
oording to the Daily Mail, which quotes
Greek official circles in London de-
claring the army win be out of the
country within three weeks. The news
paper attributes to its Greek official
informan the statement that the
army is worn out with fighting.
The Daily Telegraph's diplomatic cor
respondent says the Greek government
notified Great Britain on Saturday of
its decision to evacuate Asia Minor,
including the Smyrna enclave, and ask
ed the assistance Of the allies in ar
ranging an armistice. II announced its
inability longer to guarantee the SAT
ETY. of the Christian communities,
throughout the country or the allied ma
tionals in Smyrna and subsequently put
forward the idea that evacuation of all
the Christian covilians as well as the
Greek troops would be necessary.
The safety of these Thousands OF
Christians now seems to be the chief
concern Of the allies, whose warships
alone. il Is said, stand between them
and possible annihiation. hat degree
of protection can he given, especially
If the Turks reach Smyrna in their
pursuit Of the Greeks is matter for
speculation.

of it,
But there were moments when he al
most had il = and then turned away
from il. He had seen more of life than
Bill, but he had never seen murder be-
fore, and this which was in his mind
now, and to which he was afraid to
listen was not just the hotblooded kill
ing which any man may come to II he
lose control. 1t was something much
more horrible. Too horrible TO be true,
Then let him look again for the truth.
He looked again-but it was all out of
focus.
CHAPTER XIV
Bill had come back, and had reported,
rather breathlessly that Cayley was
still at the pond. They stood In front OF

He flashed his torch up again. There
was a handhold of iron. a sort Of larg,

them.

effort he came out OF his thoughts and

Antony's head shot up suddenly.
"Why that was what Mark said" he
cried.
"Mark?"
Yes What Elsie heard him say"
"Oh, that"
"Yes suppose she couldn't have

Bill nodded and walked off in the di-

"All right. III just go down TO the
bottom of the steps and back. Stay

The light shone down by his feet. His
head began disappearing. For little
while Bill. craning down the opening,
could still see faint splashes OF light
and could hear slow uncertain footsteps;
for q little longer he could fancy that
he saw and heard them; then he was
alone
Well. not quite alone. There was
sudden voice in the hall outside.
Good Lord" said Bill, turning round
with a start, "Cayley."
If he was not so quick in thought as
Antony he was quick enough In ac'
ton. Thought was not demanded now.
TO close the secret door safely but noise
lessly. to make sure that the books were
in the right places. to move away to
another row of shelves--the difficulty
was not to decide what to do, but to do
all this in five seconds rather than six.
"Ah, there you are said Cayley
from the doorway.
Halo" said Bill, in surprise, looking
up from the fourth volume of 1.-THE
Life and Works of Samuel Taylor Cole
ridge" Have they finished?'
Finished what?"

he was reading Coleridge on such a
fine afternoon. Desperately he tried
to think of a good reason veri

Antony-that would do. But what quo
