YARN OF A CARGO OF HUMAN BONES

   PARIS, Dec 22, - Marseilles is excited
by a weird story of the arrival  in that
port of a ship flying the British flag
and named the Zan carrying a mysteri-
ous cargo of 400 tons of human bones
consigned to manufacturers there. The
bones are said to have been loaded at
Mudania on the Sea of Marmora and
to be the remains of the victims of mas-
sacres in Asia Minor.  In view of the
rumors  circulating  it is expected that
an inquiry will be instigated.
