Oinahaii Returns
After Escaping
Greek War Draft
John Rogers, Confectioner
Here, Tickled to Bp Back
Reports Steve Abriotes
Married in Greece.
John Rogers, proprietor of the
Rogers confectionary, Xwenty-fourth
and Farnam street., arrived in Oma
ha yesterday after nearly being
drafted into the Greek army while
visiting his native land to close up
the estate of his father. After
establishing his" rights to exempfon
on account of his American citizen
ship Rogers waited for three months
heforc he was able to book passage
to the United States, so crowded
arc the liners running from Europe.
When Rogers finally succeeded in
petting aboard a boat lie found that
men rated as millionaires were con
gratulating themselves on getting
on board as steerage passengers, he
said.
Abriotes Is Married.
Rogers brought back word that
Steye Abriotes, one of the pro
prietors of the Olympia candy
kitclu-n here, who crossed over with
him, has married a doctors pretty
daughter he met while visiting rela-
tives in the town of his birth. Abri
otes was married in October and is
expected in Omaha within a month
or so.
George Scletos, proprietor of the
Palace pool hall on Douglas street,
the third of Rogers' fellow voyagers
en route to Greece, visited his par
ents and other relatives in Greece
and is expected to return to Omaha
. with Abriotes and his bride.
Cost of Living High.
Rogers found the cost of living in
Greece higher than in the United
, States. A meal costs lSdrachmas
or about $3, while an ordinary suit
of clothes costs 550 drachmas or
$18.1, he said.
Rogers declared that it is a case
of "every man for himself" in Greece,
but that holshcvism is not apparently
a serious menace. Wages of labor
arc very high and for this reason
there is very little building, he said.
Nearly Drafted., .
Rogers and- his two companions
w-tre nearly drafted into the army
in Greece under an arrangement, be
tween England and the United States
and Greece, whereby Greeks who
have taken out naturalization papers
since 1913 may be put into the army
on return to Greece. The three
Omahans established the fact that
they had been American citizens for
longer .periods than this and thus
escaped service.
Greece,' especially Athens, is
crowded with a foreign floating pop
ulation, including many members of
the nobility from Russia and Tur
key, and refugees from other coun
tries such as Serbia, Rogers said.
Motors Through Naples.
Rogers spent a day motoring
through Naples while stopping at
t'-at port after sailing frorrt. Tiraeus,
the seaport of Athens, September
M. Here there was every evidence
of want and near starvation, he said.
The people on the streets looked
haggard and hungry and there was
an atmosphere of depression every
where. Rogers landed in New ork after a
stormy yoyage of 27 days.
"Gosh, but jhis country rooks good
to me!" he exclaimed thankfully yes
terday. -
Rogers brought his brother, Theo
dore, with him. . Theodore knows no
English. ; He will take up a course
at the Y.': M. C. A.
Rogers lias grown a mustache. His
little boy,- Michael John, 4, failed
to recognize him on his return.

Retreat of Anti-Red Leader
Planned, Embassy Asserts
Paris, Nov. 3. The south Russian
embassy here asserted that the re-
treat now being carried out by Gen

formity with a preconcerted strate-
gical plan by which he purposed to
concentrate his forces in the lower

1 gions, the embassy said, would serve
as the base of new operations, which
- circumstances might make necessary.
