ATHENS LIFE 1
NOT CHANGED
BY THE WAR:
I
— i
ATHENS, Jan. 9.—(Correspondence !
of the Associated Press.)—Few large
cities of the country that were en- 1
gaged in the war have been less affect
ed by it than the ancient capital of :
Greece. Free entirely from the men
ace of air raids and hostile bombard
ment, and participating actively in the
war for comparatively only a short
time, Athens is today in all essential
features exactly as it was in the pre
war days.
There is scarcely any outward sign
that the country ever waa in the
great world conflict. During the en
tire progress of the war, all the stores,
theaters, cafes, museums and places ]
of amusement in the Greek metropolis
were doing business as usual and the
inhabitants felt only remotely the ef
fects of the war. Prices of food and
clothing were much higher than in
peace times but the people suffered
from no 3uch scarcity of these and
othef necessaries of life as did the
populations of London, Paris and
other continental cities.
The tourist, who at on® time was
one of the most abundant sources of
revenue, however, disappeared en
entirely during the war.
The passing years appear on the
whole to have made little change in
the Athenian capital. If the visitor
who knew Athens well in the days
long ago could pay another pilgrim
age to the historic city, he would see
still the same quaint sights that have
always made Athens appear to the
foreigner rustic and unsiphisticated,
in the midst of all its cosmopolitan
ism. He would see a number of milch
goats roaming down one of the main
streetB, picking up orange peel and
paper bags in the gutter, while their
owner drew the sweet warm milk
from them to fill the bottles and pitch
ers bf the busy Greek housewives who
emerged from their homes in response
to the tinkle of the goats’ bells and the
hawging cry of the fustanella-clad
herdsman. He would see also the
countless little Greek gamins, dirty
and ragged, that are so much a part of
the life of the capital and who shine
• shoes and sell lottery tockets.
Another familiar sight would be the
old women, thin, tanned, and bent
with years, with black handkerchiefs
tied under their chins, and carrying
on their backs dilapidated hampers
of wild herbs and salad leaves, which
they dispose of to the abstemious
Greek householders of the neighbor
hood for about 25 lepta (5 cents) a
quart. Greek funeral processions, in
which the body of the deceased is
carried in an open hearse, fully ex
posed and without coffin or covering,
are familiar sights.
Other cities change with time, but
Athens seems as immutable today as
it was in the centuries that have gone.
Three wars within a decade have
altered only slightly the life, char
acteristics and institutions of the
ancient city of Hellas.

AUSTRALIA TO REBUILD
DEVASTATED VILLAGE
* -
MELBOURNE, Jan. 2. (By Mail.)—
The visit here of General Pau and
the French War Mission which he
headed has resulted in a movement
to raise funds in Australia to rebuild
the French village of Pozieres. It
was at this place that Australian
troops were first engaged upop a large
scale on the western front and it is
said that more Australia’s sons lie
there than anywhere else on French
soil.
General Pau charged himself while
here with the formation in France of
„ a permanent committee to identify,
preserve and adorn the graves of
Australian soldiers in France.
The mission has inquired into the
possibilities of trade between France
and Australia and also endeavored to
discover whether Australia could
provide any methods which might be
applied in the sociological reconstruc
tion of France by way of New Zea
land. Two Socialist members of the
French mission, Paul, Thompson and
Adolf Hodee, who were delayed,
arrived at Sydney, bringing greetings
from the French Socialists and to in
vestigate Australian social legislation.

IEFUSED TO AWARD
MEDAL TO ARCHDUKE
VIENNA, Jan. 5.—(Correspondence
f the Associated Press.)—On how
ittle importance and significance
vere some of the orders and decora
ions bestowed upon princes and
lobles during the war is indicated by
i little story now going the rounds in
/ienna. It concerns Albrecht, the son
>f Archduke Friedrich.
He was assigned to the front with
i Tyrol Kaiser regiment, but with in
structions to the colonel and com
nander that he must never be en
langered. In 1917 the regiment had
i strenuous battle with the Italians at
Schluderbach and suffered heavy
osses.
When the authorities looked over
die list of recommendations for dec
irations after the battle it wa3 noticed
sbat Archduke Albrecht’s name was
rot present. It was learned that he
lad been three kilometers behind the
line duri g the fighting. The colonel
leclared he could not cite him as one
if his bravest, since it would make
ill-feeling among the soldiers and was
not justifiable.
An order then was issued command
ing the colonel to recommend Albrecht
for the golden medal for bravery, and
when the officer refused he was re
lieved from his command.
