FIRE OF LATTER DAMAGES CITY | ATHENS (Via Paris), Jan. 4 Prince Andrew of Greece, brother of King Constantine, in interview today with the correspondent of the Assoclated Press, described the aerial bombardment. of the allied camp at Zeltenlik, on the outskirts ot Baloniki on December 30 an “The bombardment un? the reply of the fleets anchored in the roads of £aloniki,”” sald the prince, “was on of the most extraordinary sights 1 have ever seen. 1 was riding back from the morning's work with my regiment at about 10:3 when 1 was startled by a deafening explosion some M0 yards nway A great cloud of black smoke arose, fol lowed shortly by three more explosions at regular intervals.

Meanwhile the firing of the fleet grew thunderous Tt was impossible to hear yourself think In a short time it became evident that the fire from the fleet was more danger- ous than the bombs from the aeroplanes as some of the shells, aimed wild, wh'stled directly over the town, one nar- rowly missing Maor jMetaxas and a troop of Greek cavalry returning from exercise. “Pieces of spent shells began to dfop with frightful velocity, one even piercing | two floors of a tram station and burying | itselt in the ground cellar. The people not understanding what was happening were | greatly excited Fourth ‘Plane Drops Bomb: “Toward noon a fourth aeroplane ar- rived, folowing exactly the same course as the others, though flying lower. The black maltese crosses were plainly visible on its wings. My wife and I watched its flight from the balcony of our house. | “Riding home along King George street toward tea time, I was astounded to see French soldiers and a dense crowd of on- lookers surrounding the German consul- ate. Further along the street other con- sulates presented the same sight. The consuls were hustled through the crowd, taken to the headquarters of the French commander, General Sarrell, cross-ex- amined and then put aboard the battle- Bhip Patrie, to the accompaniment of the stares and comments of curlous crowds.” Asked whether he would return to Saloniki, the prince replied: Of course 1 shall. Why shouldn’t 1? Despite appearances, Salonikl ls still Greek.” ASQUITH DRAFT BILL IS TAKEN UP | IN THE COMMONS| (Continued from Page One.) 2300,000 men in BEngland, Scotland and | Wales enrolled themselves, but after those engaged in indispensable Indus- tries and medically unfit have been wia- nowed out about 1,100,000 available to bear arms vemain, But there are 650,000 un- married men #ho failed to come forward and the government will now attempt to redeem Premier Asquith's pledge that the married men should not be called out as long as p considerable fraction of un- married men held back. { Text of Derby's Report. In his report, which is addressed to! Earl Kitchener, secretary for war, the Earl of Derby says: { “Many difficulties have been met with, but the chief difficulty has been the un- | reliabllity of starring, as distingulshing between those who should and those who | should not be taken for the army. In-| stead of starring being an assistance, it | has been a distinct h'ndrance to the can- vass, “More cspectally is this so in the rural and semb-rural areas, owing to the fact that it was known before registration | day what branches of tho agricultural in- dustry would be starred, with the result that many men who had no right to do #0 claimed to come under these particu- lar headings. The sense of unfalrness this created and the inequality of treat ment to farmers has been most detri- mental In these areas. The farmer him self is not a starred men, but there are| numerous cases of his sons and laborers | being starred as cowmen, horsemen, etc., | though in many instances, it is known | they are not really so engaged. “It 18 essential that the starred list should be carefully Investigated and 'n cases of misdescription the star remove:l and the man made available for military service, This applies to starred men lo| all industries. ; Another Big Obstacle, “The lssue during the process of the | canvass of lists of trades which were to | be considered ‘Teserved occupations’ has also proven an obtascle. It was essential that such lists should be issued, but the | fact remains that trades other than those mentioned in those lists have been ap- plying to be included and the men en-| gaged In those trades are expecting to be treated in the way as the star- red men and have deterred from coming forward “Mahy men who would willingly serve find themselves barred from doing so by domestic, financial and business ob- ligations. This especially applies to pro- fessicnal and commercial men, who find difficulties in meeting obligations as the payment of rent, insurance premiums, interest on loans connected with thelr business and provision for their family, due to the fact that their| income 18 entirely dependent on their in-| dividual efforts and ceases when they Join the colors, separation and depen- dence allowances being quite inadequate same been such Killed at the N \ MRS, MILTON WALKER AND HER THREE CHILDR FT FATHER- LBSS A8 THE RESULT OF THI CIDENTAL DE OF - MILTON R IN A NEW MOVING P1 THEATER ON WEST FAR- NAM STREET.

Apart from the num- ber of men who have actually enlisted | | and attested, there are many who have promised to enlist when ‘so and so' also has promised to go. There may, of course, be a number of men who make this answer ag an excuse. But that it is genuine in a very large number of cases and is accentuated by bad star- ring, there is no reason to doubt “The canvass shows distinctly it fs not want. of courage that ls keeping men back, nor is there the slightest sign but that the country as a whole is deter- mined to support the prime minister in his pledge made at the Guild Hallon No- vember 9, 1914 (regarding the calling out of married men), as it ‘was when the pledge was made.
