ly Kept at the Business of
Building Up ARMY.

ATHENS, Greece. Dec. 9.-Should
Greece enter the European war arena
some interesting military figures will
be added to those already in the
martial limelight. for Greece has seen
quite a few wars since the middle
nineties-indeed. she has seen little
else, and these has grown up among
a certain class OF the Greek people
n strong military tradition.
To the average Greek the great
military figure of his country is Con-
stantine l.. the king of Greeks. But
his greatness rests rather on the
tenacity and enthusiasm with which
he has constantly kept at the bust
ness Of building up Greek army
and the personal courage with which
he has taken the active command
OF his country's troops in the last
two successful wars. That he is n
military genius in any sense. none OF
the real military men OF the coun-
Try pretend. The real military
genius Of Greece in the as yet merely
Balkan sphere of his activities, is
General Victor Dousmanis, general of
brigade. chief OF the general staff
OF Greece. In Greece only the king
is a field marshal-and Constantine
! is field marshal not only OF Greece
but Prussia as well.
Rapid Strides.
For his age. General Dousmanis
has made rapid strides to arrive at
the supreme effective command of
the army of $4,000 men in time of
peace and, roughly. $4,000 men in
time Of war. He was born on August
20, Greek calendar-Septembe 2 our
calendar-1S61. on the island OF
Corfu. He has been a professional
soldier all his life graduating from
the military school and entering the
regular army at once as a second
lieutenant in 1883. where he had a
rapid rise in the engineering branch
Of the service.
When the disastrous war with
Turkey was undertaken in 1897,
Dousmanis had already been a
captain seven years. He was attach.

crown prince, now the king. A
