turned here last Saturday and tells a
very Interesting story of the war an.l
the battles in which he took part.
Paul states that the laws of hi.?
government compels all natives tc re
turn home in time of war, it matters
not in what country they may be, ani
those failing to meet these lequlre-
mcnts of the law are not allowed to
return to Greece at any time, under
any circumstances, and on this ac
count he answered the call to arms
During the time he was in service
he engaged In seven battles, one with
the Turks and six with the Bulgar
ians, and Paul spoke of the battle with
the Turks at Gean«na as the flerciest
of the entire war, lasting for two days
and nights with the loss of many sol
diers on both sides. The small com
mand of which he was a member lost
two hundred men. Paul added that
during that combat the soldiers had
neither food nor water, and near the
close he had almost seen death from
,t>unger and thrist, staring him In the
face, hardly being able to stand upon
liis feet. He spoke of the other battles
as being not quite so severe, but bad
enough sufficiently to amuse him.
Paul told of the cold winter they ex
perienced in 1913 when for hours and
hours his company would be compelled
to stand on guard duty in snow almost
to their knees, and that many would
suffer for weeks with cold-bitten feet.
He tells that he had five cousins ir.
the same company with him, and that
Jn the very first battle, being with the
Bulgarians, one of his kinsmen waj
shot seven times, almost at an in
stant which proved fatal, but he with
the remaining four cousins escaped
through the war without a scratch.
It was especially interesting to hear
him tell of a gun used by the Bulgar
ians that after being loaded, the press
ing of a button would discharge it.
