FAMOUS HILL GO.
EXCAVATIONS IN VICINITY. NO CHANCE OF DESECRATION. (Received September 18. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 17. Major-General Sir Fabian Ware, permanent vicc-chairrntfn of the Imperial W;jr Graves Corn mission, after a visit fo Belgium says there is no danger of Hill 60 being desecrated by the excavations being carried out in that vicinity. They are confined to an adjacent property belonging to a Belgian farmer. A cablegram from London on September 12 stated Workmen at Ypres, on behalf of a group of people who arc anxious to boom the tourist traffic, have begun to open up the famous Hill 60, which was the scene of some of the fiercest fighting in the Great War. They have exposed subterranean galleries which still are full of equipment. The project is resented by relatives of British soldiers who were killed and buried on' the hill.
