Warburg Urges America
To Cast Lot With Allies

NEW YORK, June 13-(R-The
United States was urged today by
James P. Warburg, financier and
author, to cast it's lot with the
Allies by measures short of war,
or ultimately by going to war; to
prevent their defeat.
The truth is that we are in
danger" Warburg said in a speech
broadcast over a nationwide hook
un The truth is that to meet
this danger we shall have to make
sacrifices. The times has come to
recognize that anyone who tries to
blind us to this truth is either blind
himself or a traitor"
Warburg said that he, for one
would rather die in defense of
freedom, no matter how hopeless
he cause might seem, than pur-
:hase mere life at the expense of
hedom." 4

OF the Unknown Soldier and at the
Ministry of War" says a bulletin
from the National Geographic So
ciety. Glad in their stiff, white
linen or cotton skirts, short en-
broidered sleeveless jackets, long
white WOODEN hose held up by sus-
penderS, taSseled fezes and heelless
red leather pumps with pompons on
their tapering toes, these special
troops belle the apparent femininity
of their trim costumes. Selected
for his stature, looks and military
bearing, the evzonaki of the Royal
Guard enjoys much greater prestige
than the ordinary soldier.
The Hellenic kilt has been the
traditional garb of the peasants of
Northwestern Greece for centuries.
In recent years there have been
five regular regiments of evZoneS in
the Greek Army. mostly recruited
from the p-and-down section where
the costume is commonest for every
day wear. Organized as light in
fantry rifle units, the evzones excel
at the type of guerrilla warfare
which has been raging in the rug
ged terrain of the Albanian frontier
since the Italian invasion began.
Trained snipers, these independ-
ent mountaineerS know every
strategic nook and Granny in their
rough native land. Their instinc-
tive use of whatever scrap of cover
the country may afford is partly a
hangover from days when bandit
groups roamed the region. Years
of shepherding their flocks in the
highlands have made them familiar
with the ways of woodcraft and out
door life under all conditions.
For dress wear and in summer
the white fustanella, made of At
triangular double pieces of fabric
gathered to broad girdle, is worn
alone. But in winter. for campaign
ing in wet and snowy weather, a
heavy blue or khaki overcoat or
tunic kilt, tightly belted and with
a short, f1aring skirt, is worn over
the fuStanella and, in fact, looks
like a more businesslike. version of
the voluminous white 'petticoat.'
of course, the Greek Army as a
whole is predominantly dressed in
conventional type of military uni
form"
