Andirons for duiatmaa sundartand'a Greek Premier Is , Hard Time In Delicate Task (Correepondence of The Associated Press.) Athens. Greece, Dec. 6. Prof, Spyridon P, Lambros, the new pre mier of Greece, has had a hard time of it since he became head of King Constantine's cabinet. A professor of distinction, one of Europe's best known savants, Dr. Lambros has been used all his life to early hours and regular habits. Since he has been plunged into the political whirlpool of the Balkans, five nights a week have seen him in cabinet councils until 3 o'clock in the morning or later. Dr. Lambros is an Epirote, though he himself happened to be born in Corfu, in 1851. His father, however, was a native of Epirus the district in dispute between Italy and Greece and his grandfather was hanged by Ali Pacha in 1821, when engaged in one of the many Epirotic revolts against the Turkish rule. Like most Greeks of the period im mediately following the .rule of King Otho, Spyridon Lambros studied in Germany, passing his doctorate at Leipzig in 1873. For several years he pursued special historical studies at Oxford, Cambridge, the British Mus eum an( the University of Paris, as well as in Italy and Germany. In 1882, on his return to Athens, he was charged by Premier Trikoupis with the reorganization of the system of primary education and was finally appointed professor of history in the National university at Athens in 1887. He was never the tutor of King Con stantine, as has been stated, and only came into contact with the present Greek sovereign in 1886, when the late King George made him secretary general of the Olympic games com mittee. Premier Lambros's only previous political experience was in 1912-1913, when he was sent to Italy upon a special mission connected with' the Italian claims to North Epirus. He also followed the work of the Inter national committee for the delimita tion of the boundaries of North Epirus. Dr. Lambros looks the typical stu dent, a kindly, absent-minded, elderly man with thick spectacles and a cig arette constantly in his mouth. He re ceived the Grand Gordon of the Or der of the Redeemer of Greece for his distinguished service as a savant. He is likewise commander of the Leg ion of Honor of France. Dr. Lam bros is generally one of Greece's rep resentatives at international learned or scientific congresses, several of which he has presided. He is the au thor of numerous historical works and the translator of many such works into modern Greek. He speaks1 Eng lish, French, German and Italian. The premier's family, lives very quietly in a modest house in the neighborhood of the University .of Athens; their meanS are those of the average university professor's family anywhere and the pay of a premier in Greece is not enough to conduce to great luxury. Tokio Offers Bonds For Electric Projects (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Tokio, Dec. 1. The city of Tokio has offered for public subscription bonds to 'the amount of 10,000.000 yen, or $5,000,000, to be used in the development of electric enterprises. FOES MEET ON TOP OF HIGHMOMAIK French and German Soldiers Only Tew Tarda Apart as They Shoot. TRENCH HOLD THE SUMMIT (Correspondence of The Aaeoclated Press.) On the Summit of Hartmannsweil erkopf, Alsace, Nov. 28. Deep in snow the listening posts of the French and Germans are within a few yards of each other on the slopes of the Hartmannsweilerkopf, with the French in possession of the domini nating position. For many months this part of the front has been the quietest portion of the line, although the opposing troops are in such close touch. Sometimes days pass with out a shot being fired, but just on the day when The Associated Press correspondent visited the most ad vanced line a daring raid was carried out by a French detachment. The object was to capture a German pris oner in order to discover the com position of the forces in front of the French positions. The exploit was accomplished so well that a party of fifteen prisoners was brought back and not a man of the French detach ment was. injured. The lines of the French and Ger mans on 'this height are so near to gether that the troops occasionally engage in a sharp battle with stones intermingled often with hand gre nades, and these encounters are in terspered by short artillery duels, which, without exception, conclude by the silencing of the German guns. The summit of the mountain, in the hands of the French since last Janu ary, has been mentioned probably as often as any part of the line owing to the fierceness of the fighting for its possession. It is not, however, considered of prime importance from' a stragetic point of view, although its ownership permits the troops in oc cupation to see all the surrounding country. The effect of holding it is greater for the moral value than from any other consideration. The correspondent was permitted to advance even beyond the front Ger man trench and was able to study at close hand the system' of defense introduced to meet conditions quite different from those prevailing at those sectors of the line where the fighting men face each other under normal conditions of modern warfare. Hidden Batteries. To arrive at the front line on the Hartmannsweilerkopf a long climb up sharply vending paths has to be un dertaken. Mile after mile along the edge of steep precipices and slopes, sometimes bare and sometimes cov ered thickly with pines and firs, brings one at last to the zone where the armies watch closely each other's movements. Dotted here and there are huts and shacks and battery posi tions so well hidden that their pres ence is not discernible until pointed out. When the danger zone is reached the character of the scenery changes. Much of the summit is clear of trees, which have been either felled or shot away. The ground is broken up by trenches and rocky heaps. Scattered about in sheltered positions are de tachments of troops i always on the alert. Some portions are exposed to direct fire from German batteries on other and lower summits of the sur rounding hills. When the correspondent visited the mountain in the last of November snow covered the ground to a depth of nearly a foot. He and his com panions with guides the party was made as small as possible owing to the risk involved made their way cautiously toward the front trench. From this the German line could easily be distinguished and stretching away for miles on either side could be seen the tops of the posts support ing a field of barbed wire entangle ments buried partly in snow, which in the -bright sunshine took on a reddish color. Men Like .Warfare. In spite of the hardships brought about by the cold and wind ia the hills, together with the arduous work of making roads and bringing up sup plies over the rocky hillsides, many of the officers and men have become so accustomed to their surroundings that they decline to be relieved and sent to the rear to enjoy the rare pe riods of rest accorded to the fighting forces. The men in the front line, like their comrades at other, parts of the front stretching from Switzerland to the North Sea, have to content themselves with the shelter afforded by dugouts. There they keep warm by means of heavy clothing, as there is peril in lighting fires even under cover. The conformation of the ground, however, permits the approach of supply de tails and under most circumstances at least one hot meal daily is provided. The cold is so piercing that it has been found necessary to shorten the period of duty in t'.ie open. Even the hardy mountaineers composing the troops employed here cannot resist the sharp frosts while standing rigid ly on . guard for many hours at a time. The new system of quick re liefs has been found to work very well and there is astonishingly little suffering and no complaint on the part of the men. Further down the' hill slopes, in the second and third lines the men are well housed in comfortable shacks, which they find a way of heating. Here the men gather when their daily duty of building roads, digging trenches and transporting supplies is finished and they contrive to make themselves quite at home. The chaplain with the regiment now on duty in ;hc front line has been on the mountain side and sum mit four months without once de scending to the valley. He has started, for the benefit of the men a co-operative store which he has es tablished in a hole in the rock. Here the men are able to purchase at cost price almost anything in the way of inner comfort and around it they gather to read their newspapers and letters and to exchange opinions on the news of the day. Close by is a small open-air chapel, where the chaplain holds a daily service. When fighting is proceeding the ' chaplain always goes into the front line with the men, with whom he is a great favorite. Bad Cough r FoTorlah? Orlppy?

Scott, chief of the general staff, and General Leonard A. Wood, commander of the Department of the East, impressed upon the sen ate committee on military affairs the necessity for compulsory military training on the hearing of the Cham berlain bill. General Scott declared that 3,000.000 fully trained troops should be available within ninety days after the outbreak of any war involv ing this country. Both General Scott and General Wood confessed the Na tional Guard had been a failure in the most recent test. General Wood as serted that the exhibit of the national militia had been nothing short of "tragic." , General Scott supported General Wood, saying that from all of the reports he had received from officers on the border the National Guard is not a proper reliance in time of peril. UNIQUE CHRISTMAS IN PERSHING'S CAMP Athletic Events Precede Light ing; of Gigantic Christmas Tree, 7,500 Presents. BIO CHORUS, MANY BANDS Field Headquarters, American Puni tive Expedition, Mexico (By Wireless to Columbus, N. M.), Dec. 25. Every man in the .punitive expedition, from mule driver to major general, received a present today, the 285th day the troops have spent in Mexico. The folks "at home" forgot nobody and Christinas was celebrated in a fashion that carried out General J. J. Per shing's' wish that the day might never be forgotteti by those held through unimaginable hardships in pursuit of the Columbus raiders from Et Valle, San Buenaventura on the extreme southern point of the line to Colum bus, on the border. At every lonely water hole and pass where troops are stationed, gifts were presented and the day observed in true holiday style. More than 10,000 packages were distributed, their value averaging, according to the Christmas committee, between $2 and $3 each. It was at field headquarters, where the greatest number of troops are camped, that the most elaborate cele bration was held from early morning, when the bands played carols, instead of the bugles sounding reveille, until taps, when the throng about the Christmas tree began to break up. There was not a moment wasted when the men lacked for amusement. The daylight program was given over to athletic events and the troops, freed from ordinary duties since Saturday, gathered to witness the polo and foot ball games, the pony express, slow mule and shoe races, and the scramble for an agile, greased pig. Dinner, which the cooks had been preparing for days, was a feast not to be re garded lightly. Oiant Christmas Tree. Around the Christmas tree, which towered sixty-five feet in the air from the center of the camp, the climax of the celebration took place shortly before 7 a. m., tonight. The various organizations marched to assigned places some distance from the tree to be in readiness for signal that would summon them to their stations around the huge cone of green, there was scarcely a sound save low voiced commands and the sounds of the chill mountain winds as the thou sands of khaki clad men awaited the signal. Except for the stars that seemed fairly to snap in a clear sky, no gleam of light brightened the camp. Suddenly there was a dull boom, a stream of sparks and the camp was illuminated by a huge ball of fire which seemed to fall from the sky, while the trench flare blazed its way toward earth and others struck on standards around the tree and "gave a lustre like noon-day." The regiments marched to points around "the star of Bethlehem" that surrounded the tree. When all had reached their posts the flares faded and the tree itself sprang into the light, its branches dotted with hun dreds of incandescent lamps and the American flag waving twenty feet above the topmost branch illuminated by rays from the headlights of a score of motor, trucks posted on ad jacent positions. The tree itself stood in the center of a six-pointed star formed by a hedge of fire branches. Chorus of Four Hundred. At each cornor of the star there stood a small tree. When the troops had assembled, a chorus of 400 which had been practicing for weeks began the program by singing "Joy to the World," to the accompaniment of the massed bands. Chaplin J. M. Moor of the Seventh cavalry then delivered a brief soldierly prayer, the concourse led by the band and chorus, chanted the Lord's prayer, the 7,500 voices rising and falling in a great diapason of sounds, the "Rattle Hymn of the Republic"- and "America." in which cveryhodv joined with intense spirit, then "1'ancho Villa," the expedition ary song describing the chaos of the bandit by the chorus, brought I he musical numbers to a close. Two dozen grotesquely costumed Santa Clauses then escorted llic big gest "Saint Kick" of all into the clear space under the tree and took their places at the corners of the star, while Sergeant Ole Larson of the Thir teenth cavalry, noted for the quality of his voice, presented the key of Doberville. a six-foot, image to Ihe "patron saint of the ceremony." After completion of the sergeant's address distribution of the presents was begun. Openings in the hedge forming the star were made at six points and the soldiers filed through. Those doubters who had expected a flimsy gift, were agreeably disap pointed. Each of the 7,500 big paper bags distributed contained what many at home would have been delighted to receive. The principal present generally war one of the thousands of comfort bags, the various chapters of the Red Cross had sent. To this was added a few of the 41,000 cigars and some of the 11,000 pounds of candy and other dainties that had been received. For each officer there was a book which, when read, was supposed to be given to his command. Presentation of the I Have Three Army Heads Say a . 1 . 1 3 -V ABOVE - MAJ-OEU HUGH SCOTT.

The troops were then ordered to fall out and the various amusements featured that had been arranged got into full swing around the glowing Eits of coals, where two beeves had een barbecued. There soon -gathered a throng, each with his piece of hardtack. At other points were, sta tioned motor trucks, each a miniature stage. Opposite each truck with its headlights illuminating the stage was another truck. There were dancers i on one truck, on others vaudeville I contortionists, quartets, monologists and singers. Japanese Protest British Ban Upon Knitted Imports (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Tokio, Dec. 10. Great Britain's war ban on importation of knitted goods will probably prove to be a great blow to the Japanese knitting industry. During the ten months endjng October 31 the total value of this line of goods exported to Great Britain reached $9,000,000. In addi tion contracts entered into call for delivery of additional goods up to next June, amounting to $6,000,000. Exporters have held conferences urging the Japanese government to strive, tor the rescinding ot the order. It is claimed that the ordef is not a friendly measure of an allied nation and that it will injure the friendship between the two countries. It is also feared here that similar bans will af fect other lines of Japanese manu facture. The immediate effect of the Brit ish order will be the suspension of many factories and the throwing out of employment of thousands ot work men.!. - As a result of the Japanese repre sentations the British government has announced that the enforcement of the prohibition order would be postponed until January f. The press is expressing hope that, the author! ties will further be persuaded to take into consideration the situation lac ing the manufacturers and workers in laoan and see whether there is not some way of permanently modifying absolute prohibition. German Women Go After Work in Large lumbers Berlin. Dec. 8. The number of women applying at employment agcn cies increased notably during the fiscal year 1915-16. While the num ber of male work seekers dropped no tably, there were 206,980 men who sought work of the so-called "Central Employment agency," the largest in Berlin, while 157,514 women were reg istered as looking for jobs. That is a decrease of 121,466 men and an in crease of about 26,000 women ap plicants Give your Want Ad a chance to make good. Run it in 1 he Uee. DOES RHEUMATISM MP YOU? Many Doctors Use Musterole .

JAPANESE THINK ' U.SJSON GUARD Believe War With This Country " Illusory, but Say Prepar edness Important. MORE IRON FOUNDRIES (rnrrpontlmce of The Assm'lstad Press.)- Tokio, Nov. 30. The American naval expansion program was the sub ject of a lecture delivered recently be fore the National Defense association by Commander Sosaburo Takahashi, a member of the naval staff board. The newspapers quote Commauder Takahashi as expressing the opinion that the much-talked-of American-Japanese war was illusory and a matter of impossibility, but as holding that it , was a greater illusion to take an op timistic view of America's policy of preparedness. The speaker thought it , dangerous to take ai easy view of American naval expansion arid em phatically laid stress on the import ance of the expansion of the imperial navy with a view to keep in pace with " American preparedness. Commander Takahashi dwelt upon the speedy construction of American warships and the activity of American, shipbuilders. He referred to the posi tive defense measures being elabor ately worked out by the United States in the Pacific, the Philippines, to gether with an extensive plan to" com plete communications between the American possessions in the Pacific. Other speakers recommended the establishment of additional iron foun dries in Japan, pointing out how the lack of them had been keenly felt by the belligerent nations since the outbreak of the war. . .
