A LOST CLAN?

A correspondent writes to the|

"I had a mast curious ea- perience in the Caucasus in 1917. One evening in a little Bohemian cafe at Tillis I met a well-known Armenian litterateur, a man who delighted in grubbing among Ancient histories and musty manuscripts. We got on to the į subject of the local tribes inhabit- | ing the Caurasoa. *** You are: Scotch he asked suddenly. Without waiting for an answer.) he proceeded to tell mɔ of a tribe which had settled in the Caucasus in the 15th ar 16th century who ware reputed to have come from Scotland. They. landed at Trebizond, worked their way inland and northward, settling in a spall mountainous area and in the neighbourhood of Batum. Why they left Scotland, and how, exactly. they reached Trebizond my friend had Devor been able to ascertain.| The fact remained that they spoke a curious language greatly resembling the Gaelic one hears in the North of Scotland. They also used peculiar wind instru ments and played wild Caucasian airs reminiscent of the national music of Scotland. They likewise wore skirs, like women, only shorter. and had a peculiar habit of wearing a cariou Etrangement of horsehair in the form of a kind of stomacher.

Davigation at the Peace Con- ference, was issued last July and published in The Times of July i 23. when. however, it was pointed out that the document had not been formally approved by the Sopreme Council A prefatory note to the presen: publication states that the differences between the final Convention and that printed in July are dar to revision by the general Drafting Com Imittee of the Peace Conference. The majority of the alterations are changes of wording, mainly of an editorial character, sad in serted from a legal standpoint.
