NEW PREMIER Hls HARD TIME IF II
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

ATHENS, Greece, Dec. 25.-Prof Spyridon P. Lambros, the new premier of Greece, has had hard time of it since he became head of King Constan- tines cabinet. A professor of distinc- tion. one of Europe's best known say ants. Dr. Lambros has been used all his llfa to early hours and regular habits. Since he has been plunged into the po- litical whirlpool of the Balkans, five nights a week have seen him in cab met councils until three o'clock in the morning or later.
 Dr. Lambros is an Epirote, though he himself happened to be born in Corfu, in 1851. His father, however, was a na- tive of Epirus-the district in dispute between Italy and Greece-and his grandfather was hanged by Ali Pacha in 1921 when engaged in one of the many Epirotic revolts against the Turkish rule.
 Like most Greeks of the period i'm mediately following the rule of King Otho. Spyridon Lambros studied in Germany, passing his doctorate at Leipzig in 1873. For several years he pursued special historical studies at Oxford Cambridge, the British Mu scum and the University of Paris, as well as in Italy and Germany. In 1SSz, on his return to Athens, he was charged by Premier Trikoupis with the reOr ganization of the system of primary education and was finally appointed professor of history in the National University at Athens in 1887. He was never the tutor of King Constantine. as has been stated, and only came into contact with the present Greek sover leign in 1886 when the late King George made him Secretary General of the olympic Games Committee.
 Premier Lambros' only previous po ltical experience was in lyl2-l913, when he was sent to Italy upon a spe- cial mission connected with the Italian claims to North Epirus. He also fol- flowed the work of the International Committee for the delineation of the boundaries of North Epirus.
 Dr. Lambros looks the typical stu ident, a kindly, absent minded. elderly man with thick spectacles and cig- arctic constantly in his mouth. He re- iccived the Grand Gordon of the Order Iof the Redeemer of Greece for his dis itinguished services as a saVant. He le likewise commander of the Legion 0, Honor of France. Dr Lambros is "en- lerally one of Greece's representatives at International learned or scientific lcongresses, several of which he has presided. He Is the aV'nOI ol Hulitl tous historical works and the translst toi of many such works into modern Greek
 He speaks English. French, German and Italian.
 The premier's family lives very louietlv in modest house in the neigh horbood Of the University of Athens
 their means are those of the average university professors family anywhere
