LONDON, October 13.--Although the
uncovering OF the Oglethorpe vault
has not stirred popular feeling as
did the hunt for Pocohontas-doubt-
less owing TO the reverence and priv
acy observed at Cranham-there have
been many sporadic protests against
the removal of the generals body.
These have been chiefly III the form
Of letters to the newspapers. and
such signs of opposition are incrcas-
ing.
Among the points made by the OBJ
jectors is that Gen. Oglethorpe was
thoroughly an Englishman. spending
Georgia, and doubtless chose the place
of burial he and his wife preferred.
Moreover, it Is pointed out that
Georgia was founded as an English
colony, and that Gen. Oglethorpe never
would have undertaken his great prof.
ect had he suspected that some day
his colonists would rebel success
fully against England.
The Morning Post, in an editorial
today, supports the opposition to the
removal and appeals to the public TO
protest, not only on the ground of
patriotism, but of reverence for the
dead.
We are proud that an Englishman
should deserve such honors as are
suggested by the people OF Georgia,
says the newspaper. but his Iame

should cherish him"

ASHLAND, Ore, October IA
trio of amateur, but bloodthirsty
train bandits who sought to emulate
the most spectacular deeds OF the
notorious James boys of two genera
tions ago, today are being sought In
the rugged Siskyou mountains, along
the California Oregon line. in one Of
the greatest man hunts ever staged
III the west.
A great Gordon of 1900 heavily
armed men has been thrown about
the wooded mountain district where
the bandits are believed to nave taken
refuge. and is steadily closing in on
the quarry. Among the man hunters
are a half dozen typically western
sherffs with their posses. government
agents, railway detectives, national
guardsmen and Indian trailers. The
trailers were called on when II was
discovered that the desperadoes had
creosoted the soles of their shoes so
that bloodhounds were unable to keep
the scent.

A battle to the death was expected
late today, when the Gordon had
brought the fugitives to bay some

The desperadoes are heavily armed
and already have eylnced thelr
readiness to slay by killing four men
and wounding a fifth in their cleverly
planned, but abortive train hold-up.
The possemen will ask and give no
quarter.
The desperate trio are the men who
late Thursday halted Southern Pa

after wantonly shooting down the en-
sineer, his fireman and brakeman
blew the mail car to bits with dyna'
mite because a heroic mail clerk re-
fused to open the door. In setting OF
the dynamite charge the bandits Sc
riously imperiled the lives of more
than 200 passengers, including two
score women and children. That the
long tunnel where the hold-up and
explosion occurred did not cave In
and bury the train beneath thousands
of tons of earth and rock is re-
garded as almost miraculous.

CONSTANTINOPLE, October 13.-
With the cold winds of the steppes
heralding winters approach, history's
first obligatory exchange of popula-
tions began yesterday between Greece
and Turkey.
The details Of the movement in
and $4,000 Greeks were arranged by
the mixed commission of Greeks and
Turks established by treaty. which
has been sitting as arbitra tors in dis
putese.
A most striking tribute has been
paid to America, which the treaty did
not mention, but which both the
Greeks and Turks have asked TO act
in a special advisory capacity in car
rying out the exchange to assure fair
play and efficiency. Fl. c. Jaquith,
head of the Near East Relief, has ac-
cepted this role and has furnished his
experienced personnel to supervise
the operations on the spot.
Thanked BY MosIems.
Before leaving for Mitylene where
the movement began, 5000 Turks
there being exchanged against a
similar number of Samsun Greeks, Mr.
Jaquith received here a delegation of
Mitylene Moslems who came specially
to thank America for assisting, de-
claring that simply the presence of
an American-James Crutcher-on
the island increased popular conf
dence. Mr.. Jaquith expects that 40,
900 persons on each side, the Turks
from the islands and the Greeks from
Samsun, will be moved during the
winter and the remainder of the
spring.
Choice of Winter.
While a winter exchange seems
cruel, every effort has been made TO
increase the number moved before
spring, so they will be ready to plant
their crops. 1t is believed under the
circumstances that 1t is less cruel to
move the people now than to leave
them living from hand to mouth and
wintering in a hostile country.
Mr.. Jaquith hopes to get each side
to guarantee not to modest the lives
and property of those whom II is de-
cided not to exchange Immediately
The general poverty in Turkey and
Greece increases the inevitable suffer-
ing of those exchanged.

strong wind blew his machine out
to sea, the petrol pipe froze and the
pilot was forced to descend. but he
made a remarkable landing.
A wind that blew thirty-five miles
an hour got under the tail of Baron
de Lettenhove's machine while it was
still on the ground and turned it
over. The baron was unhurt.
