The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-06-27

When the war in Europe broke out last August a number of Confederate veterans in Birmingham grew highly indignant over the attitude of the younger generation, which informed them that they knew nothing of war as it is fought in 1915, and declined Ito give their words that veneration to which they, in their own estimation, were entitled
 However there are men in Birmingham who know what war under modern con- ditions means; who have stood on a hill- side and seen as far as the eye could reach the woodsides belching steel and spouting death. Early in 1913, when the Balkan states suddenly decided to put the Turk out of Europe or die trying. a de- voted little band left Birmingham to do their share.
 IT. 1914. when the second conflict was OCT. they returned to Birmingham. Not all of them. for some slept on the plains of Macedonia and on the hillsdes around Janina. Those who returned took up their former occupations as of yore, but their trip to Europe and their participation in the fighting had quickened their love for their country and had sharpened their perception of the significance of events at home
 Consequently, when the present conflict
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-06-27

broke out and spread, every Creek
 American in Birmingham stood ready to
 answer another call to arms and fight a
 third time for the glory of Greece. Some
 of them have grown impatient of the waiting and are longing for the time
 when Greece shall take her place along
 side Italy, Great Britain, France and
 Russia and join in the struggle. It is not that there is any great enmity gainst the Germans for this is not true. But the Germans have allies, the Turks,
 and against these the hatred of Grecians is undying. Every soldier who shouldeerd a rifle in 1913 longs to do so again Among the number is P. A. Papa george of the Creek American Produce company. one of the best known Creek Americans in Birmingham. This man didn't look like soldier when the writer
 saw him. He was peaceably occupied with his pencil in his place of business. Nor did his figure suggest the warrior. He is bit heavy for marching, but there is latent strength about him, a sug- gestion of authority that still clings from his soldier days.
 It is not until he looks at you that you
 know he is of fighting blood .iie has the cold eye of the fighter and the level glance of the man unafraid. Albeit, he also possesses q kindred virtue for he is , modest.
 The writer asked him to tell something
 of his life in the Greek army and what Birmingham Greeks had done against the Turk. He dismissed the request with a
 wave of his arm and indicated his pref erence to discuss the future of Greece. We Greeks of Birmingham are heart
 and soul with ex-Premier Venizelos, he said. and learned with delight of his complete victory at the voting Sunday a week ago. The people of Greece are with him. and it is only a question of time until Greece enters the war. Premier operations of the Greek army after mobilization had been completed would be against the Dardanelles and in Minor Asia That is the point too, where we are most needed.
 l "The British and French will never | take the Dardanelles. They haven't the men to spare for the operation. It will require land force of at least half a million men to reduce the defences of Constantinople, and this force Greece | could spare.
 1 By calling to the colors men up to fl years of age, Greece could put at least 1 600 men in the field ready for instant l operations Remember we would not 1 have to learn how to fight, as so many of the countries have had to do. We l learned our lesson in the Balkan wars and the general staff has been busily I engaged since that conflict in profiting | from the lessons learned then.
 .'The addition of such force to the armies operating against the Dardanelles I at the present time would prove invalu-
 able. While sending sufficient number
 of men operations could be undertaken on
 the Asiatic side of the straits in Asia
 Minor and force the diversioni of con
 siderable force. l Greeks in Birmingham are watching events at home very closely at the pres

 The large picture above was taken at the McCary Mineral wells at East Lake, where picnic was recently given by the Veterans of the Balkan War. To the delight of the older heads and the amuse-
 ment of the younger, many of whom have
 not seen the land of their forebears, the veterans executed several military maneu- vers and Greek dances, which are known for their individual figures in contrast to those known to the younger Creeks The
 veterans themselves apparently derived
 as much pleasure from their dancing as
 did the younger contingent The commit tee in charge of the entertainment was composed of Pete A. Papageorge, Nick Mitchell and Paul G. Papageorge

Its utmost extent. Said he:
II am glad that you people are taking
our meat and corn, and that, as time
goes on, we will have a more varied
exchange of commodities AS it is now.
YOU are furnishing the most of our
agricultural MACHINERY. and we are In

and whether there existed any Jealousy
in regard to the United States. The
president replied:
"If there is jealousy l am not aware

sources, and it is growing SO fast that
it has not time to be jealous of any

Lord has given it in the way of re-

Upon this l asked as to the Argen-
tines future. His excellency replied
that his country was just beginning to
grow, and that it would continue to
grow in population and wealth for
generations to come. He said that the
nation would eventually be one of small
farmers instead of large ones. and that
the great estancias would be divided
and time of intensive cultivation
would come. Said he:
The country could easily support ten
times its present population, and IT
would then have only 10O,00O,000. 1t
would then have only about as many
as your country has now"
His excellency spoke of the Panama
canal. saying that although it might
benefit the western part of Argentina.
its chief value would be to the west
coast of this continent. He referred to
the San Francisco exposition, saying
good as the country can furnish, but
that it seemed to him like carrying

of the Argentine to the United States.

he did not think so. and doubted that
