There are no bans on children

quick relief without injury from con-

ATHENS REMAINS ALMOST
UNCHANGED BY WAR

Athens, Feb. 22-Few large cities
of the countries. that were engaged
in the war have been less affected by
it than the ancient capital of Greece
Free entirely from the menace of air
raids and hostile bombardment, and
participating actively in the war for
comparatively only short time,
Athens is today in all essential fea-
lures exactly as it was in pre-war
days.
There is scarcely any outward
sign that the country ever was
in the great world conflict. Dur
ing the entire progress of the war,
all the stores, theatres, cafes, mu-
seums and places of amusement in
the Greek metropolis were doing bus
mess as usual and the inhabitants felt
only remotely the effects Of the war.
Prices of food and clothing were
much higher than in peace times but
the people suffered from no such
scarcity of these and other necessa.
ries of life as did the populations OF
London, Paris and other continental
cities.
The tourist, who at one time was
one of the most abundant sources OF
revenue, however, disappeared en-
tirely 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 we'll in days Ions
ago could pay another pilgrimage K
the historic city, he would see still
the same quaint sights that have al
, ways made Athens appear to the fol
eigner rustic and unsophisticated, il
the midst of all its cosmopolitanism
He would see & number of mile
