EVZONES ‘SKIRT SOLDIERS PROVE

SAVAGE IN WAR

Short Tunics, Light Shoes

* "To Chase Italians.

By JAN YINDRICH United Press Staff Correspondent ATHENS, Nov. 14—The battle cry” “Aera” rings over | the snowy slopes of the Pindus | Mountains where Greece's crack | highlander troops—the skirted Evzones — are fighting the Italian invader. In polite Greek “Aera” means “make room.” In battle, it means *get the hell out of here.” The Evzones are natives of the mountains and a wounded Evzone sergeant, his bullet-riddled leg in a bed sling, told me of a a fighting spirit.

Send for Assistance

“We had been surprised by the first attack of the Besaglieri who had driven up a ravine,” he said. “The eommanding officer sent runners for help to headquarters and three hours later word arrived that help was coming up through the

ed to see hundreds of old men and boys armed with hunting guns and blunderbuses, many of | them left over from the Turkish| War, and begged us to let them fight because they wanted to revenge| the 17 in their village who had been killed by Italian bombing planes. | “Those peasants with the long barreled guns were wonderful. They didn't waste a single shot. The shepherds used their sling shots to throw grenades. They were throwing at Alpine mule teams bringing up mountain guns. The| Bersaglieri tried to scale the sides of the ravine when the grenading got hot, and we used our bayonets | while the peasants used their knives.”

Evzones Outnumbered

The bearded Evzone in the next bed listened to this with| eyes twinkling through the me sa

pass. “We were amazed and ne

“Our c¢ompany,” he said, “didn’t have a chance in a straight fight because we were outnumbered. We sniped at them all day and that night heard such terrific firing in the valley that we thought some of our troops were attacking. The next morning we found the Italians had retreated, leaving two machine guns and their rifles. The only victims of their intense fire had been 11 wild pigs, part of a herd that, frighténed by gun fire, had run into the Italians, causing panic.” The Evzones won their fame and made “Aera” resound’ through Southeastern Europe in the Balkan

formed in 1821 at the time of the Greek Revolution and are composed exdlusively of peasants, villagers, mountaineers and shepherds from the mountain provinces. They have preserved their native costume which consists of a beret, flared tunie, resembling a skirt, tights, black garters and light leather shoes for mountain climbing. In battle, they wear khaki berets and khaki tunic-skirts, flared to leave the knees clear—like ballet skirts or kilts—and khaki tights underneath. This costume facilitates climbing mountain peaks and: rocks. ‘The Evzones mount guard at the Royal Palace where they wear a ceremonial uniform consisting of a blue beret, blue flared tunic, white tights, and light slippers on which are huge red pompoms. The Evzones are the most physically fit in the Greek Army because of the hardy life they lead.

PROGRAM URGED BY MOTOR GLUB

Members for Vote Before Legislature Meets.

The Hoosier Motor Club today issued its tentative legislative program to ke presented to the 1941 Legislature. The proposals will be presented to club members in ballot form in the November issue of the Hoosier Motorist, according to Todd Stoops, secretary manager, Mr. Stoops said nine of the proposals are left over from the 1939 legislative program. “Most of these proposals were favored overwhelmingly by Hoosier Motor Club members, but were not looked upon with favor by members of the General Assembly,” he commented.

The 20-Point Program

The tentative 20-point program follows: * 1. Return the $2,000,000 taken from the Highway Fund in 1932 and legalized by the General Assembly
