—When King ( onstantine d •pa»‘e !
from Athens for the Asia Mmol
front he lift behind whatever lux
uries pleasures and diversions !>«*-
long 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
quotations from the Koran was un-
til recently the harem of a prosper-
ous 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 ns his soldier- The palace
cooks and chefs were left in Athens.
Eski-Shehir affords littJe that could
be called luxurious- The chief diet
of the 50000 inhabitants is coarse
black bread and sour milk (' vout")
This is not Constantine’s regimen
but often hia. meals hare consisted
only of the h»tovc Turkish bread a
ean of sardines and a fragment of
goat’s cheese.7*There is no wine to
he bad here; * Tea. coffee and water
are the universal beverage*.
When the King received The As-
sociated Press correspondent he apol
ogirej for the poor surrounding; and
expressed the hope that the report-
er had found better accommodations.
“I suppose we mu.* t expect some
discomforts and inconveniences in a
country like Aria” ss.id Constantine
indulgently “but I woul In’t mind

wasn’t fit for habitation when I
canie here first. But now after
many days of sweeping scrubbing
and disinfecting we’ve managed to
make the rooms tolerably clean.
“Since 1 come to Anatolia 4 think
I’ve encountered every form of in-
sect and hug tigit natural history
speaks of. My' jffeatc.it desite is to
gel a real hath.”
Apart frotn the rather severe liv-
ing conditions lhat confront the
King he has few cr no diversions.
He seldom ventures outside the walls
of bis homely Turkish domicile. It
probably would he unsafe to do so.
Except for Officers of the army he
he has few or :u> visitors llis per-
sonal admirers and the Habitues of
the court of course remained in
Athens. The King passes much of
his time perusing reports from his
army and reading American and fo-
reign hooks and iev. p; }>• rs.
Being a soldier. fonstantinc
doesn’t seem to mind the lack of
comforts and the little hardship*-
he la- to eo it end with he e. H<* is
essentially demo* -atie and simple
in his taste*. It is this democracy
and simplicity thrt have endeared
him to his soldier*. That is why
they call him “patera” (our father!
The King’s health has not permit
ted him to take active command in
the field. He still has traces of his
old pleural trouble.
