Oct. 14,—Sharp fighting 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 to 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.

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 Xicholas 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 out 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 23 1-2 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 111 L ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. .MONDAY. OCTOBER 14, 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 Martinovitch 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 the Turkish, lines or tp 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 Bielopolie 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 AJuko vitch's soldiers crossed the Bor and Schlich mountains and fell upon the Turkish fort at Gusinje, 45 miles west of Bielopolie 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 So wounded since the war broke out. The Turks are believed" to have lost three times that number. SPENT FORTUNE; DECREE FOR 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, and 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 arrtst. His 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.

X . . -• ' ■ 1”G - 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. (Aflvt.. 11
