GREEKS OF ATLANTA ARE PREPARING TO GO HOME TO WAR Young Greeks in Atlanta are ready to go to war. Already the railroad passenger agents are being asked ques tions as to rates to Athens byway of New York, and at the coffee houses where Atlanta Greeks congregate at night the smoke clouds are picturing visions of fighting.

They are ready to go, even though they must leave their property behind The rest of us will look after their holdings If necessary.

I A capable man in public office is a rarity. t Therefore, a man who is both honest and capable and is running for office should have the vote; of honest and capa ble men. Because a woman has no vote she must not think that she has no part in rhea Hairs of government. Every woman should study the political situation and the needs of the country and the city in which she lives. Otherwise she will be unfitted to cast a ballot when she shall be called on to do it. You know what Mr. Woodward stands for. You know he stands for the things Atlanta needs. You know that no man has ever accused him of breaking a promise. You know he is competent. You know he is honest. It is your duty to impress these facts on your hus bands. your brothers, your sons and your friends.
