KING WITHOUT COUNTRY LEADS GHOSTLY LEGIONS I'cler of Serbia in Exile, Going Blind and Deaf, Plans Now Campaigns Aedypsos. Eubea, Greece. April 14. —(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) -The spot wnere Kins Peter of Serbia is "gathering strength to march at the head of his men," as he puts it. might be one of the Greek church monasteries on ML Athos. fori ;<ll the touch it has with the rest of the world. Never easy of access. Aedypsos in winter is completely cut off sa\e by the intermittent services; of a Greek government tug which! runs from Stvlis, on the mainland op-1 posite. to Aedypsos on the Island of 1 Eubea. Occasionally smaller coasting steam ers visiting the tiny ports of the Gulf of Eubea and bound from Pireus or I Chalcis to Volo, stop at the wharf in j front of King Peter's hotel. Now and —then a French or British destroyer the shore, long enough to dis embark a messenger, or a British mine-seeker anchors for an hour or i two while its commander gets a whisky and soda In the deserted sum- 1 tner hotel. Nothing could be lonelier than the life of the King without a country. ; His suite consists of three of his countrymen, big, genial Colonel Todorovitch. his aid de camp; black boarded. silent Captain Jukanovitch. his secretary, and jolly old Dr. Simon- i ov itch, the royal physician, in addi- ! tion. there are, on behalf of the' Sreek government. Lieutenant Kolo kotronis and Sergeant Koressi and twenty Greek policemen. And that is all. The little collection of summer villas and summer hotels grouped around the hot springs of Aedypsos' are empty. Their windows are board- j ed up. They have that forlorn air i jt houses really lived in—like Coney Island in midwinter. The routine of each of the King's .lays is in deadly monotony. Regular ly. as punctual as any clock, he rises \ at half past three every morning, i lakes his alkaline bath, and returns to bed until half past four. At five his day begins—"the habits of a cam paigner." he says apologetically. "I suppose I am too old to change;" He goes over the newspapers and reports that are sent to him, answers letters when theie are any to answer, and reads such communiques of the pro gress of the war as reach him by telegraph. "I wish people wouldn't write so legibly: - ' he complains. "Their let ters are so quickly read!" When the morning post Is over (and as the post arrives only at rare j uncertain intervals it is often over be- j fore it is begun), out come the various maps of the theaters of the world war. and the King without a country who is also a general with out an army, and Colonel Todorovitch and Captain Jukanovitch pore over the hills and rivers and plains of Prance and Belgium and Poland and Armenia and the Trentino, following the armies step by step. But the maps of Serbia are in a heap at one side. No one unfolds them. There are no military move ments to follow in Serbia. Serbia's battles are all fought. Finally every advance and retreat and engagement, great and small, recounted in the communiques has been marked out and discussed. A silence falls on the three men who sir about the chart - covered table, as »f it were the staff table at army headquarters, the night before a battle. The old King clears his throat and slowly rises. Leaning on his cane, he hobbles to the trunk j on which the maps of his country lie piled. Ills trembling, eager fingers unfold them, and spread them out one by one. above the others, covering over, blotting out the maps of all the rest of the world. Serbia? " —ah—T was Just thinking last night about that little skirmish at '"upri.ia—you remember, Berislav?" he says to I'olonel Todorovitch. "There was a hill over there, and the road went up this way." But he does look at the map. And his blind ('ild eyes could not make it out if he did. He needs no map—it is all there in his head, every battle, every regiment, every shape of ground or turn of waterway the very names of the men who fought and the vil lages they came from. Adroitly he i leads the others into a discussion that regenerates the long row of days o 1 triumph and despair that have made his life. , ' Slow'ly he leads the talk around , from the past to the future. "Now. ! vou see." he says, "we could send twenty thousand men up there and ' two divisions over here, from this di- i rectlon. The French could send six divisions and eight batteries of Ihree- ' inch guns from here to here.

The coior comes in his high-boned j checks; his strident voice—the voice of a deaf man, who shouts always— I; echoes through the empty rooms and corridors of the hotel. Outside, the Greek policemen, pacing up and down in the warm winter sun. stops under the open windows and listens. "Pn conquereil!" he says to himself, shortly. And he presents arms. HOW CAN CARNIVAL FUND BE COLLECTED? [Continued From First Page.] partment offices as the time and the place. While the committee will tentatively outline its whole program at Friday's meeting, the water carnival problem j will be one of the chief topics under . consideration. Just how necessary ! money can be raised for the purpose Is a serious question and it is expected | that the feasibility of asking council's assistance in the matter will be dis cussed. At any rate the Chamber of Com ! meroe and kindred organizations will i be urged to co-operate in solving the problem, and if it be found that the! municipality cannot legally appropri , ate any money for the purpose, it is quite likely that the Chamber of Com i merce and other organizations will be asked to help financially. The Cham ber was a big factor in making last year's municipal improvement cele bration a success and it is the hope of the water sport enthusiasts to plan a carnival this summer that will surpass anything of the kind ever attempted in ! Harrisburg. While the committee now numbers •fifteen it is probable that the number will be augmented by the addition of other names. Subcommittees on the various branches of river sports in time, must be named, and in order that every phase of the river problem j can be boosted to the best advantage, jthe general committee must neces j sarily be enlarged.

The President kept in touch with Secretary Lansing during the day and was informed of the contents of the affidavits received on the St. Paul.
