YANKEE EXPLORERS I
SCALEMOLYMPUS
Country Where All Things
Feminize, Human and Ani
mal, are Rigidly Ex.
eluded.
(Corrwpondenc of The Associated Pre.)
Athens, Oct 10. An American
party, including . Secretary - White of
the Ameiio. legation and, Messrs.
Hill.JENegen and Dinsmore of the
American" "School of Af che&l&gy, have
just returned from a trip in which
Mount' Olympus, 9,754 feet, was
. scaled to its highest -summit, and
a visit was made to that most curious
of alljrepublics, a republic .of monasteries,-
grouped about the mountain
side of Mount Athos.
Climbing. Mount Olympus has long
been regarded a. difficult and danger
ous operation, for besides the rocky
ascent and the snowdrifts on the up
per heights, it was for years the home
of Greek and Turkish 'brigands and
was the scene of most of the famous
eases of brigandage. -Since' the Greek
government has been in control
brigandage has been held in check,
largely by the death penalty, though
six brigands were recently taken in
that region after a pitched battle with
the troops."
Climb of Three Days.
The American party was provided
with a guard of Seven gendarmes,
which seems to have been effective
against the outlaw element, as no
sign of it was seen. The ascent took
the hest part of three days and the
party passed .the night in the open on
the highest Summit. The descent was
made-'the following day . from the
ether side, sloping toward the Bay of
Saloniki.. ......
Mount. Athos presented an entirely
different picture, not of snowy
heights, but of beautifully wooded
hills. Here' this; monastic republic
has been carried on for the last 1,200
years, with its .independence recog
iiredy$uccessiveiy by the old Byzan
tine rulers, then by the Turks and now
by the Greeks, The mountain stands
on a long; narrow peninsula which juts
into the Aegean, sea just east of Sa
lonika There are. 20. monasteries
scattered, over the mountain, side, in
vast buildings with 500 or 630 monks
in each- establishment Each sends
a delegate t the central governing
body!. at; the capital, Carige. In all
there;.ar,e some 10,000 people in this
miniature republic.
Female Sex Excluded.
One of the odd features of the re
public is the rigidness with which all
womn,.a,nd all, animals of the female
sex, are excluded from its precincts.
Even' hens are not premitted to be
brought' within the confines of this
. comraunity( and guards are stationed
across the narrow, neck of land lead
ing to the peninsula to see that noth
ing feminine shall enter.
The only approach to the female
sex is in the wild, birds which fill the
wooded hills' It is claimed that the
only w.pRia.n.who ever , gained en
trance was'tbue dhter of the former
British ambassador at Constantinople,
, . ,'. .... i . . i j u
wno aisgUAsca nerseu rs a nuusmp
man rai)d thjis gained access , to the
place with-her lather. A Russian grand
' duchess is: also. said to have managed
to get 'inside the sacred precincts, but
this $tdry .is denied by the monks.
Rich in Treasure.
The monastic republic is - rich In
treasures which have come down to
it in unbroken line since the middle
ages, .consisting- of rare old sacred
writings on parchment, some of them
bound in gold; jeweled crowns worn
by the Byzantian rulers, and the origi
nal ofc the world-famed icon of Mos
cow. V The ' monks of the Russian
monasterv.here. copied the original
icon and sent it to Moscow, where it
attracted the .thousands of Russian
pilgrims which , now flock to worship
before' it . There are Serb. and Greek
monasteries as well as Russian, all of
them governed by the parliament they
have established at the capital, with
the Greek patriarch at Constantinople
as the final religious, authority. , .
The American party . bore letters
from the . Metropolitan of Saloniki,
which gave them tree access to the
little republic. Eleven of the 20
mountain monasteries were visited,
the ccrthniuriities showing their in
teresCbsr'hanging out American flags
and greeting the party as allies in the
entente cause. The republic has its
politicsVaseH .as its religion, and Its
strong -Russian-'Serb-Greek elements
makeVifdisclainv all pretense oi neu
trality and proclaim its position as a
firm -supporter of the entente allies.

American Senators Lay Aside Togas and,
Pajama-Clad, Witness Fire of Fierce Hun
flaid Through Frosty Air of London Night
Marvel at Coolness of English
Women, Who Calmly Discuss
the Play During Rain of
i Shrapnel.
v , '
(By Associated Press.) '
London,- - Nov. : 2. United States
Senators William S. Kenyon, of Iowa
and John B. Kendrick, of Wyoming
have passed unscathed through their
second air raid experience in London.
On the first occasion they were at
tending a dinner given at the Athen
aeum Club by the lord high chan
cellor in honor of the visiting con
gressmen and last night they were
asleep in their suite on the top floor
of a hotel when they were awakened
by the German bombardment
Awakened by Boom
Senator Kenyon was the first to be
aroused by the boom of the guns.
He jumped out of bed and hurried to
Kendrick's bed and shook him from
his slumbers with the remark: "Sen
ator, they are here."
The incessant booming made fur
ther elucidation unnecessary.
Kendrick rubbed his eyes, and
leaped up and the two pajama-clad
senators hastened to the windows
which they threw open, the better to
hear and see.
Below in the streets, the people
were merely obeying .the police by
seeking shelter. The senator: at a
great risk of injury from flying shrap
nel watched the spectacle.
It was our first air raid experience
at close quarters," Senator Kenyon
told the Associated rress, and we
welcomed it in the sense that it
nerved us for our coming visit to the
trenches in France and Belgium.
Bravely of Women
The thing that impressed me most
was the fortitud of the English peo
ple. Their coolness was nothing short
of marvelous. The bravery of their
wbmen especially excited my admira
tion. If the purpose of the Germans
is -to break the nerve of the English
people, what I have just seen con
vinces me that they have failed ut
terly. "While, we stood catching cold and
watching the bombardment I was
wondering how our people would
behave under similar circumstances.
I turned to Kendrick and remarked
that if the people of the United States
displayed the Same iron nerve, which
I am confident they would, the allied
cause is in no danger."
Discuss the Play
Senator Kendrick interrupted, re
marking that, he overheard women
folks waling through the corridors
of the hotel during the raid calmly
discussing : the theatrical perform
ances from which they had just re
turned. ' . "
From their high places which over
looked the. park the- senators had a
good view ot the gun tire, aitnougn
the moonlit sky flecked with tiny
clouds made it difficult to catch a
glimpse oi the Gothas, which were
soaring at great heights.
Back to Bed
"After we were i convinced from
what we saw of the wonderful bar
rage fire that the enemy could not get
closer to us," Senator Kendrick said,
"we went back to bed and made up
for lost sleep."
The senators were up early this
morning going into conference with
Lord Rhondda on the food supply
question. This afternoon they pro
ceeded t6 the north-of England for a
visit to the shipyards.

LaFollette Denounces Mob
Attack on Ohio Clergyman
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Nov. 2. Senator La Folletta made public tonight a let
ter .he had written to. the Rev. Herbert S. Bigclow, the Cincinnati
preacher, recently whipped by a mob for alleged disloyal expression.
The senator denounced the whipping as "an attack upon the liberty
of every citizen of this republic,"- and said if "as press reports indicate,"
officials charged with the. administration, of justice failed in their duty,
other means would be found to unmask and punish those who made the
attack.
San Francisco, Nov. 3. A meeting to protest against the recent horse
whipping of the Rev. H. S. Bigelow of Cincinnati is to be held here to
morrow night, it was announced today. Permission to send a wagon
through the streets calling attention to the meeting was granted by Chief
of Staff Police D. A. White.
Von Hertling Will
Take Position of
Chancellorship
Amsterdam, Nov. 2. A Berlin dis
patch says Count von Hertling has
telegraphed to King Ludwig of Ba
varia that he has accepted the Ger

War Summary
Russia is worn out by the strain of
the war and now looks to the other
allies for help. This is Premier Ker
ensky's opinion of Russia's situation
after seven months in attempting re
organization and regeneration.
But Russia is not out of the war.
Kerensky declares i began the fight
ing and is now taking an enormous
part in it. The newest republic, how
ever, claims as its right that the other
allies should shoulder the burden of
the war.
General Cadorna's forces are now
behind the Tagliamento riVer from
the Carnic Alps to the head of the
Adriatic, while the invading Austro
Germans have reached the eastern
bank. Important bridgeheads on a
front of thirty miles along the river
from Pinzano to Latisana have been
captured by the invaders.
Official statements do not indicate
that the German forces have yet
crossed the river, which is reported
to be above normal height because of
freshets; nor is it certain that the
Italian army will make a determined
stand on the eastern bank, although
that apparently is General Cadorna's
purpose, unless the northern flank
around Ampezzo and Tolmez2o' is
is turned suddenly.
In the Carnic Alps the Austro
Germans seemingly have been making
slow progress toward the upper
reaches of the Tagliamento and the
latest official communication mentions
no activity in this region.
Even should the invaders succeed
in crossing the Tagliamento in the
region of Ampezzo, the lower course
of the river would still be of great
assistance to the Italians. In their
retirement the Italians probably have
destroyed all the bridges across the
stream and small torces on tne east
ern bank might be able to hold back
the invaders while General Cadorna
prepares for a stronger stand on the
liae of the Piave river, about 25 miles
to the west of the Tagliamento, in
order to make a supreme effort to
Sfivc Venice.
The Third Italian army has carried
out its retreat to the eastern side of
the Tagliamento nearly complete ai
it left the Isonzo. The other armies
did not fare so well and 60,000 ad
ditional prisoners are claimed by Ber.
lin, bringing the total to 180,000 men
and 1,500 guns. The Italians de
stroyed great stores of materials and
ammunition in their retreat.

Germans Lose Ship;
Vessel Hits Mine
Copenhagen, Nov. 2. A German
warship has been sunk in the
Sound, according to a dispatch
from the National Tidende, from
Malmo, Sweden. It .h reported
that the vessel struck a mine.
This report is considered to con
firm a dispatch from Malmo some
time ago, saying that a torpedo boat
destroyer had run into a mine at
the southern end of the Sound and
that the bodies of German sailors
had been washed ashore at various
points.

Lovett Diverts Coal Hauls
To Relieve Shortage in East
Washington, Nov. 2. To relieve
the coal shortage in the east. Robert
S. Lovett, head of the priority ship
ments board tonight modified regula
tions for the transportation of
bituminous for the northwest via lake
ports, so as to divert eastward much
of the coal which since August 10 has
been going to meet the demands of
the west.
Tonight's order recalls from 22
railroads operating fn western Penn
sylvania and adjacent territory the or
der requiring carriers to grant pre
cedence to bituminous coal shipments
destined for trans shipment by water
to Lake Superior or Lake Michigan
ports. The original order still ob
tains in the cases of 27 roads.
At present there is a serious short
age of coal in the large steel and
munitions producing centers. The
partial diversion of fuel to the east,
will not cause another shortage in the
nrthwest, it is asserted, as demands
in that section have been provided for
amply in the last few months.
