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.

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.

United States Must
Million Men,
General Hugh L. 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

gifts brought the regular program to
an end.
Barbecue and Vaudeville.
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.

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. . .
