Greeks Seize
Mountain Pass
PATRAS. GREECE. Oct. 14—Sharp
lighting is already going on between
Greeks and Turks. The Greeks today
captured Maluna Pass, the chief moun
tain pass leading from Greece to Tur
key on the northern frontier. Two
Turkish blockhouses at the northern
end of the passageway were taken by
surprise and captured after a slight
resistance.
Hundreds of Greeks are being poured
into the pass to defend it from Turk
ish attack. If Greece declares war
against Turkey, Maluna Pass probably
will be considered by military experts
the strategic point on the Greece-
Turkish frontier.
Turk-Italian
Peace Arranged
PARIS. Oct. 14.—Peace between Italy
and Turkey has been concluded, ac
cording lo an announcement made to
day by a French news agency. The
markets of Europe were steadier, show
ing that the news agency dispatch was
generally accepted as authentic in the
various capitals.
Bulgarian Troops
Attack Turks
BELGRADE. SERVIA, Oct. 14.
Without waiting for Bulgaria formally
to declare war, Bulgarian soldiers have
crossed the frontier and attacked the
Turks at Egri Palanka on the railway
line between Sofia and Uskub.
A sharp fight took place there today,
but the Bulgarians were driven back,
with the loss of several killed and
wounded.
The clash took place between fron
tier patrols. The Bulgarians crossing
the line marched ten miles into Turk
ish territory.
Czar Orders
Balkan Report
ST PETERSBURG, Oct. 14.—Czar
Nicholas today summoned Premier Ko
kovsoff and Foreign Minister Savanoff
to go to Spalo to make full and com
prehensive report to him of the Balkan
crisis. The two government officials
probably will go to Spalo after the spe
cial cabinet meeting which has been
called for Thursday, when Russia’s
course toward Turkey and the Balkan
states will be outlined and the powers
will be notified of Russia's attitude to
ward the war.
JUSTICE IN OUR MIDST!
TO THE PEOPLE:
To every thoughtful mind, our political situation now in Atlanta presents
many serious features. And in passing, I will say, no voter should be intimi
dated or misled from voting his convictions and for what he conceives to be the
best interest of all our people.
The injecting of religion into this campaign is an inroad on the policy es
tablished by the fathers of our country—that Church and State should forever
be kept separated. We all know that the preservation of this principle inviolate
is one of the highest duties of American citizenship.
Undue enthusiasm and fanaticism are always dangerous. The unreasonable
course these feelings lead into, unless checkmated, are often as dangerous as any
demagogery that is practiced on our people.
Really, we are not confronted so much with a moral question, anyway, as we
are with a practical question, the solution of which should be determined in the
light of experience and common sense. It is not a question of what we had rather
have, but in what we can really expect and get. lam opposed to all bad fea
tures in our society. I am one of your citizens, lam a business man, I have
a home like you, and I am materially interested in the welfare of our city and
all of our people.
Doubtless the thought has occurred to many of our people that the over
zealous champions of Chambers’ campaign in the use of religion as a stepping
stone to make Chambers mayor are violating not only every principle of decency
and fairness in their attacks on me, but degrading the best conceptions of our re
ligion. Their attacks on me are unfair—they are wrong, they are malicious.
Now, I ask why are the Chambers’ forces spending so much money? Where
is this money coming from? Why such insane enthusiasm for my defeat?
The moral question injected into this campaign—and this is the only question
they have placed the campaign on —is being used as a “blind” to detract your at
tention from the business and material features involved. It is surface matter
being used as political clap-trap.
Chambers and his “Ring” well know that they can not control me!
I pledge you my word I will go into the workings of our city government
and report the condition to you. I will tell you how your money is being spent,
and I will see when a dollar is spent that you get a dollar’s value in return.
Why is the head of almost every department of our city government for
Chambers? It can not be said there is no “Ring” when it is common knowledge
that most of them are sheltering behind Chambers! There is some purpose in it.
There must be something “rotten in Denmark.”
It is interesting to note that on Saturday The Georgian carried 231-2 col
umns, or over three solid pages of Chambers’ advertisements. The Constitution
yesterday carried 19 columns, or nearly three solid pages. The Journal yesterday
carried 33 columns, or nearly five solid pages. The cost of political advertisements
are twice the rate of any other form of advertisements, except whisky. There
fore, the advertisements in Saturday’s Georgian and yesterday’s Journal and
Constitution cost approximately $2,200.00!
With eminent propriety it may be asked, What is the meaning of all this?
I have no ill will or distorted feeling for those of our citizens who are, hon
estly. against me. This is a fight for honesty and good government. It is the peo
pie’s battle, and the fruits of the victory will be felt for years to come in our
city.
You will never have cause to regret my election, and I now give you every
assurance that we will win the day by probably two thousand majority. I ask my
friends to be sure to go and vote. JAMES G. WOODWARD.

Montenegrins
Force Turks Back
PODGORITZA, MONTENEGRO, Oct.
14.—Although the Turkish army has
received reinforcements, it was again
driven back today while the victorious
Montenegrin army under Crown Prince
Danilo and General Martfnoviteh con
tinued its advance toward Scutari.
King Nicholas is tightening the Mon
tenegrin lines about Scutari to the
north. As his troops sweep southward
and the two wings move eastward and
westward they leave a trail of devasta
tion behind them.
Montenegrin troops have burned the
Mohammedan village of Krania, driv
ing off the surviving inhabitants to seek
shelter and food within th’e Turkish
lines or to perish of starvation and ex
posure in the mountains. More than
sixty little children perished in the
burning of the village. Through the
capture Saturday of the Bielopolle by
General Vukovitch, the Montenegrins
now control a strip of European terri
tory lying between Montenegro and
servia westward of the Okra moun
tains. This piece of territory' is 175
miles long and about 50 wide at its
widest point. Its westward boundary is
Bosnia.
Fight Reported to King.
King Nicholas today received an of
ficial report of the battle. The Monte
negrin infantry, under cover of heavy’
artillery, fire-crossed the river Lim and
stormed the Turkish fortifications pro
tecting the town.
After carrying the outer works the
Montenegrins met no further resistance
and entered the town at 4 o’clock Sat
urday afternoon.
After leaving a detachment of soldiers
to man the barracks and establish a
hospital. General Vukovitch, who is one
of the most indomitable of the Monte
negrin generals, again had his army on
the move.
After a forced march. General Vuko
vitch’s soldiers crossed the Bor and
Schlich mountains and fell upon the
Turkish fort at Gusinje. 45 miles west
of Bielopolle and 45 miles northeast of
Scutari.
The capture of this hill was a difficult
undertaking. The Turks fought stout
ly and half of the garrison had been
killed and many others wounded be
fore they surrendered.
After capturing this fort the Monte
negrins without waiting to rest stormed
two other Turkish works dominating
the town of Gusinje.' They’ took pos
session of the town last night. General
Vukovitch seized a great quantity of
armaments, provisions and medical
supplies which he is sending to head
quarters here.
In an official statement from Monte
negrin headquarters today it was said
that Montenegrins have lost 256 killed
and 80 wounded since the war broke
out. The Turks are believed to have
lost three times that number.
SPENT FORTUNE;
DECREE FOB WIFE
San Franciscan Squanders
$45,000 on Woman—She
Ends Life—Divorce Given.
SAN JOSE, CALIF., Oct. 14.—Awarded
half of a $90,000 legacy' and the custody
of their minor child, Mrs. Elva Becar, of
San Francisco, secured a decree of di
vorce from her husband, Noah F. Becar,
on statutory grounds.
A broken home, suicide and a squan
dered fortune are all features of the Be
cars' unhayyp married life.
The Becars were married in San Fran
cisco June 20, 1893, and lived happily until
Becar was left a legacy of SIOO,OOO.
He went East in February. 1911, to se
cure the money left by a grandparent, ami
after settling the estate he had $90,000.
He then, according to his wife, became
infatuated with another woman and trav
eled about the country, representing her
as his wife.
Mrs. Becar declares she traced her hus
band by hotel registers in nearly every
city on the coast from San Francisco to
Seattle and finally she brought suit for
divorce.
Mrs. Becar says her husband had gone
to Salt Lake with his woman companion
and there squandered all his half of the
legacy. Becar’s companion then was re
ported to have committed suicide and Be
car was placed under arrest. Ills wife
gave him SB,OOO to get out of jail.
Mrs Becar says since her husband
was released from prison he spent the re
maining portion of the money she gave
him and was penniless.

HERE IT IS
WITHOUT A
SINGLE CHANGE
This campaign is simply an issue of decency against indecency and
involves merely the question of whether a common blackguard, who
will stoop to any unscrupulous slander, and who has adopted such
methods in his race for mayor as to almost frighten any decent man
from entering a race against him, shall be placed by this city at the
head of its government, and thus advertise to the world that a ma
jority of her people are of the Woodward type.
(Signed) ALDINE CHAMBERS.
Unfortunately for Atlanta much of Mr. Wood
ward’s unfortunate career and record, as Mayor of
this city, has been given wide publicity throughout
the country. Newspapers from Maine to California
and from the Lakes to the Gulf have printed, from
time to time, articles which reflected not alone on
the man who was then our Mayor but on Atlanta as
well.
Mr. Woodward is known not only at home, but
he is known abroad—he has been advertised-he is
known from reputation.
But the voters of Atlanta are not known. As in
dividuals, as citizens, they have had no such free,
but unenviable, advertising as has been accorded
Mr. Woodward.
Mr. Chambers knows, and he has repeatedly
said, that many good men have been misled in their
support of Mr. Woodward—men honest in their
convictions—men with only the best interests of
Atlanta at heart—clean men—-but they are either
misinformed or misled by statements from the “Mys
terious Woodward Campaign Committee.”
Mr. Chambers says—read it close—if you elect
Mr. Woodward you will ADVERTISE TO THE
WORLD that a majority of her people are of the
Woodward type.
That’s the impression the world would naturally
get-—because they know Mr. Woodward—they have
kept up with his record.
But the world don’t know you, Mr. Voter, and
while you may be ever so honest, ever so moral,
ever so clean—just as Mr. Chambers knows many of
you to be—yet, the election of Mr. Woodward would
picture you in the minds of the world as of the type
of man you supported—which we know you are
NOT.
We have purposely refrained from annoying you
by reprinting many of the ADVERTISEMENTS
which we have in our possession—-clippings from
papers about Mr. Woodward’s conductabroad. That’s
the kind of ADVERTISING we mean. But since
the “Mysterious Woodward Campaign Committee”
has seen fit to misconstrue and misrepresent what
was said, we felt that you were entitled to the cor
rect construction.
Next!
J. R. SMITH,
Chairman Chambers Campaign Committee.
