STEPHENS PLEASED
WITH OUTLOOK ON
RETURNTOATLANTA
ATLANTA, Ga., June 10.—Return
ing from the annual convention of the
Georgia Bar Association held last
week at Tybee Island, Alex Stephens,
the well-known Atlanta attorney who
i s running for the court of appeals
expresses himself as highh gratified
over the many voluntary assurances, cA
support he received from fell >w at
torneys at the meeting. He believes
with their support in their respective
communities that his election to the
ccurt of appeals is definitely assureo.
He bases his candidacy on the fact
that his popular vote and county unit
•vote in the primary of 1 91C> entitled
him to a nomination for one of the
places on the court of appeals, but in
the famous political juggling which
took place at the Macon convention
he was euchered out of his rightful
place. This convention juggling, it
will be recalled, aroused so much pro
test over the state that the legisla
ture passed a primary law intended
to prevent such practices in the fu
ture.

ATLANTA INVESTORS WILL BE

SUM BEFORE CAMPAIGN (’LOSES
JUNE 28TH
ATLANTA, Ga., June 10.—Atlanta
this week is launching her drive to
sei] $5,000,000 wortli of War Saving
I Stamps, which is the local quota, on
or before June 2S, the great ‘Na
tional War Savings Day” proclaimed
by Lif Sident Wlison, on which peo
ple of the Un ted States are summoned
to attend mass meetings in their re
spective’school houses and sign sub
scriptions pledging themselves to buy
War Saving Stamps in regular instal
ments during the remainder of the
year in sufficient amount to cover the
national quota of $2,000,000,000.
To sell $5,000.(100 worth of War Sav
ing Stamps in Atlanta is a much hig
her task and a much more compli
cated problem than was presented in
the sale of Atlanta’s quota of $6,000,-
000 in the third Liberty Loan, for the
reason that Liberty Loan subscriptions
were not not limited to any amount,
and there were many subscriptions
ranging into five and six figures,
whereas the largest amount of War
Saving -Stamps which any purchaser
can buy in the name of a single pur
chaser is SI,OOO, and this means that
the campaign for W. S. S. must get
into practically every home through
out the entire community and sell at
least a part of the quota for every
family.
W. S. S. quotas are figured on a
basis of S2O per capita of population,
including men. women and children,
which means that hundreds must buy
a great deal more than the minimum
allotment to make up for those who
buy none at all.
While the campaign here is getting
underway, similar campaigns are bc
i in? launched in every city, town and
county throughout Georgia, whose
total tiuota. is $57,500,000 and State

STOCHOLM, June 10. —Joseph Shap
len, United Press correspondent here,
telegraphed his news bureau today
that the counter revolutionary move
ment in Russia is growing.
The Bolsheviki reign is living its
last day and unless the present re
gime is speedily overthrown by the
Combined efforts of the other revolu
tionary democratic parties, there will
soon be a revolution of the monarchial
parties in Moscoiw and Petrograd,
similar to that which triumphed in
Ukrania.
Russia is now threatened by foreign
imperialism on the north, west and
south. The Turks are again advanc
ing, aiming to unite Tifllis with ( the
Germans who are advancing from the
north, and with masked cunning by
friendly notes through the German
Ambassador, Count von Mirbach, Ger
many is gradually approaching the
very heart of Russia, in order to
pierce it at the desirable moment.
