 LIVING IN MUD HUT
Former Monarch Eats With

Eski-Shehir. Anatola, Oct. 14.-tThe Associated Press)-When King Con- stantine departed from Athens for the Asia Minor front he left behind what ever luxuries, pleasures and diversions belong to a monarch Today, he IS living in a mud house in this ancient Turkish settlement. with only his aide de camps as companions. His living room. which Is adorned with quota tions from the Koran, was until re- gently the harem of prosperous local Turk. His bed is a modest iron affair that might be found in any American lodging house.
 The king eats the same coarse food as his soldiers. The palace cooks and chefs were left in Athens. Eski-she- hir affords little that could be called luxurious The chief diet of the 5o,- 900 inha bitants is coarse, black bread and sour milk ('yout"). This Is not Constantine's regime, but often his meals have consisted only of tho na- two Turkish bread. can of sardines and a fragment Of goats cheese. There is no wine to be had here. Tea, cof- fee and water are the universal bev- erageA
 When the king received The Asso- ciated Press correspondent he apolo- gized for the poor surroundings and expressed the hope that the reporter had found better accommodations.

This place wasn't fit for habitation when I came here first. But now after many days of sweeping. scrubbing and dis infecting. we've managed to make the rooms tolerably clean.
 Since came to Anatolia, I think I've encountered every form of insect and bug that natural history speaks of. My greatest desire is to get a real bath

The king passes much of his time perusing reports from hia army and reading American and foreign books and newspapers.
 Being soldier, Constantine doesn't seem to mind tho lack of comforts and the littN hardshops he has to contend with here. He |, essentially demo- cratic and simple in his tastes. It Is this democracy and simplicity that have cndeared him to his soldiers. That is why they call him 'patera" (our father.)
