ATHENS (Via TarlM. Jan. 4.
Prlnea Andrew of Greece, brotbfr ot
King Constantlnc. in an interview
today with the correspondent of the
Associated Tress, described tho
aerial bombardment of the allied
camp at Zeltenllk. on the outskirts
of BaloniM on December no.
"The bombardment nr..' tiie reply of
the fleets anchored In tin roads of
falontkl," said tup rlmo, "was on;
of the most extraorillnnry ftiKhts I have
ever en. 1 was fining '...irk from the
morning's work with my regiment at
bout lrt:V when I was startled by n
deafening ex plnt'tnn some yards n.vay.
A great cloud of black smoke arose, fol
lowed shortly by three more explosions
at regular intervals. Then followed a
rocket-like sound vt a a'-ell passing
through the sir. -evidently fired by one
of the warships in the harbor.
"Naturally, my first thought was that
for some reason tho fleet n bombard
ing Palonlkl. Therefore, I rode straight
to the nearest British post, which hap
pened to be a hospital not tar from the
Ureek camp.
"'Why are you bombarding the city?
I asked the officers.
ftomba Dropped Into Cam p.
"Then for the first time I looked up
and saw three machines fully 3.010 feet
high flying in line from the northeast
and turning Just over tho harbor town r J
the northwest,' In which direction they
finally disappeared.
"The bombs dropped with the a-reatest
precision, one after another, killing and
wounding a number of the allies' soldiers',
but not touching the city. Meanwhile
the firing of the fleet grew thunderous.
It was Impossible to hear yourself think.
In a short time it became evident that
the fire from the fleet was more danger
ous than the bombs from the aeroplanes,
as some of the shells, aimed wild,
wh'stled directly over the town, one nar
rowly missing Maor JMetaxaa and a
troop of Greek cavalry returning from
exercise
"Piece of spent shells began to drop
with frightful velocity, one even piercing
two floors of a tram station and burying
Itself in the ground cellar. The people not
understanding what was happening were
greatly excited.
Fourth 'Plane Drops Domba.
"Toward noon a fourth aeroplane ar
rived, folowlng exactly the same course
as tho others, though flying lower. The
black maltese crosses were plainly visible
on its wings. My wife and I watched its
flight from the balcony of our house.
"Riding home along King George street
toward tea time, I was astounded to see
French soldiers and a dense crowd of on
lookers surrounding the German consul
ate. Further along the street other con
sulates presented the same sight. The
consuls were hustled through the crowd,
taken to the headquarters of tha French
commander, General Barrel), cross-examined
and then put aboard the battle
ship Patrle, to the accompaniment of the
. stares and comments of curious crowds."
' Asked whether he would return to
Salonikl, the prince replied:
Of course I shall. Why shouldn't I?
Despite appearances, Salonikl ia still
Greek."

ASQUITH DRAFT
BILL IS TAKEN UP
INTHECOMMONS
(Continued from Page One.)
2,MO,UOU men in England, Scotland and
Wales enrolled themselves, but after
those engaged In indispensable Indus
tries and medically unfit have been win
nowed out about 1,100,000 available to bear
arms remain. But there are 650,000 un
married men who failed to come forward
and the government will now attempt to
it-deem Premier ASquith'a pledge that the
married men should not be called out
as long aa a considerable fraction of un
married men held back.
Teat of Derby's Heoort.
In his report, which Is addressed tn
Earl Kitchener, secretary for war, the
Earl of Derby Bays:
"Many difficulties have been met with,
but the chief difficulty has been the un
reliability of starring, as distinguishing
between those who should and those who
should not be taken for the army. In
stead of starring being an assistance. It
baa been a dUtinct h'ndrance to the can
vass. "More especially Is this so In the rural
and semi-rural areas, owing to the fact
' that It was known before registration
day what branches of tho agricultural In
dustry would be starred, with the result
that many men who had no right to do
so claimed to como under these particu
lar headings. The sense of unfairness,
thia created and the inequality of treat
ment to farmers has been most detri
mental In these areas. The farmer him
self Is not a starred men, but there nre
numerous cases of his sons and laborers
being starred aa cowmen, horsemen, etc.,
though In many instances. It Is known
tt.ty are not really so engaged.
"It la essential that the starred list
should be carefully Investigated and '.n
cases of misdescription the star removed
and the man made available for military
service. This applies to starred men lo
all Industries.
Aaotber Bl Obstacle.
The isue during the process of the
, canvass of lists of trades which were to
be considered 'reserved occupations' has
also proven an obtascle. It was essential
that such lits should be Issued, but the
' fact remains that trades other than those
mentioned In those lists have been ap
plying to be included and the men en
gaged In those trades are expecting to
be treated In the same way as the star
red men and have been deterred from
coming forward.
"Many men who would willingly serve
find themaelves barred from doing so
. by domestic, financial and business ob
ligations. This enneriall.v applies to pro
fesaional and commercial men, who find
difficulties In meeting such obligations
as the payment of rent, insurance
premiums. Interest on loans connected
with their butdnetts and provision for
- their family, due to the fact that their
Income la entirely dependent on their In
dividual efforts and ceasea when they
loin the color. sep&iaUun and depen
dent allowances bclii quite Inadequate
to meet those obligations. This applies
not only to married men, but also to
single men in mtiny caes.
I'nrqunt Treatment of Men.
"Another obstacle to recruiting hss been
the unequal trentment of Individuals
Parents and relations, especially, cannot
understand why their sons, husbands or
brothers should Join whlfo other young
men hold back and secure lucrative em
ployment at home. Apart from the num
ber of men who have actually enlisted
and attested, there are many who have
promised to enlist when 'so and so' also
has promised to go. There may, of
course, be a number of men who make
this answer aa an excuse. But that it
Is genuine In a very largo number of
cases and Is accentuated by bad star
ring, there Is no reason to doubt.
"The canvass shows distinctly it Is
not want of courage that Is keeping men
back, nor is thero the slightest sign but
that the country as a whole Is deter
mined to Bupport the jirlme minister In
his pledge made at the Guild Hall on No
vember 9. 1914 (regarding the calling out
of married men), aa it was when the
pledge was made. There is an abun
dance of evidence of determination to
see the war through to a successful con
clusion. DERBY."

Drug Proof?
If there ever was a human being who was not in
some way susceptible to drugs he's never been heard
of. Yet in spite of the warnings of reputable physicians
many persons with whom coffee disagrees continue its
use and take into their systems the drug, caffeine.
The 2Vii grains of this drug, in the average cup of
coffee, taken regularly is often the cause of headaches,
nervousness, biliousness, heart flutter and many other
ailments.
The sure, easy way out of coffee troubles is to
quit the coffee and use
POSTUM
the pure food-drink
Made of wheat and a bit of molasses, Postum has
a delicious flavour much like mild .lava coffee, but con
tains no drug or other harmful element.
Postum comes in two forms: The original Postum
Cereal must bo boiled. Instant Postum is a soluble
powder. A level teaspoonful in a cup of boiling water
makes a delicious drink instantly. Both kinds are
equally delicious and the cost per cup is about the same.
The l'tter health that follows freedom from cof
fee drinking shows
"There's a Reason"
for POSTUM
