TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS ATLANTA GREEK BALKAN HERD; SAVED FUG John Mahos, Waiter, who An swered Call to Colors, Badly Wounded in Thrilling Dash. Members of Atlanta’s Greek colony Monday told a Georgian reporter sto ries of remarkable heroism and thrilling tragedy concerning their fel lows who returned home to fight in the Balkan war. They are stories of individual acts and experience not re lated in the press dispatches. Nick Mahos, one of the proprietors of the Manhattan Cafe, on Marietta street, has a brother lying in a hos pital in Tepelene, suffering from three bullet wounds. He is John Mahos, and had many acquaintances in Atlanta a few months ago when he was serv ing ham and eggs and club sandwiches in the cafe. In the Greek army he was given the rank of sergeant soon after enlisting He was stationed at Tepe- lcr>e, near the Albanian border, when his first opportunity came. In a let ter to his brother here he tells of it. Rescues Country’s Flag. The Albanians in a small village took possession of the military head quarters and replaced the Greek flag with the colors of Albania. Mahos’ commander ordered him with a de tachment to rescue the flag. He obeyed like a soldier and re raised the flag. But half his men were killed and he was wounded three times. George Phelis, at one time one of the proprietors of the Manhattan Cafe, has been active in the Balkan service and has written some thrill ing accounts of inside conflicts. He was in Salonika when King George Was assassinated and was well ac quainted with the soldier that cap tured the assassin. How Brave Brothers Fell. Phelis lias narrated the experiences of two Marcos brothers which throbs with the action of the old Greek classics. The oldest boy. Leonidas, was sent to his father, and an uncle who had prospered in America took the young er, Aristos*. Aristos forgot his Greek and be came a fully educated American citi zen. Leonidas heard but little of his brother, but grew to be a loyal sub ject of King George. It was a strange fate that brought them together in the Balkan war. Two volunteers had been asked for to deliver a message through the Turkish line to a general 25 miles away. "Leonidas Marcos,” answered a young man who held up his band. Aristos, hearing the name, said he, too, would go. Aristos could speak but little Greek and Leonidas could say less English. But they discovered they were brothers. Because of the importance of the journey they were made to swear to do their duty. Leonidas swore by the flag of Greece. Aristos swore by the Stars and Stripes. Each was given a flag of his country. They went. But when they re turned they falteringly told that the general could not be found. Killed by the Turks. Angry, their commander threatened to shoot them as cowards. But they plead that they had been true to their trust and finally were sent the sec ond time to deliver the message. •Their mutilated bodies were found a few days later by the general they were trying to reach. They had been captured by the Turks. Their hands and feet had been cut off. The general whom they had sought explained to the commander of the brave young men that he had changed his position about twenty miles and was beyond reach. Leonidas and Aristos were given a burial with every ceremony. Phelis writes that their heroism is as great as any of the war. How is Business? Apologizes in Papers For Posting His Wife NEW LONDON, July 21.—Jonathan L. Beckwith, a prosperous young contractor of Niantic, surprised his fellow-townsmen last week when he inserted a notice in New London pa pers forbidding anyone to harbor or trust his wife. While the notice was being printed, Mrs. Beckwith trans ferred a vanload of furniture to her father’s house. To-day the New London papers had the following announcement: "I acknowledge being a little hasty in posting my wife, as I find no rea son for same.—Jno. L. Beckwith, Niantic, Conn.” Cardinal Gibbons, 79, Says Life Is Ebbing BALTIMORE. July 21.—“On Wed nesday I shall be seventy-nine years old,” said Cardinal Gibbons, as he wit in his study to-day. And then he added, in a gentle voice: “I do not think I will live much longer. My life is* nearly spent. “I will soon be an octogenarian,” said the Cardinal, smilingly, “and na ture must take its course. Almighty God has blessed me with a long life, and I am ready to answer whenever he sees fit to call me to render an ac count of my stewardship.” No Key to Woman's Mind, Says Alienist WASHINGTON, July 21.—Dr. B. R. Logie, Government alienist for the District of Columbia, came-right out in a courtroom and said: "All the ordinary tests fail. No one on earth has ever been able to solve the psychology of the feminine mind.” Dr. Logie was*a witness in the legal battle between Mrs. Emma Prall Knorr and Mrs. Elizabeth C. Prali, sisters-in-law, who have been in con troversy for ten years over a large estate. IliTF OFFER IS TO BE IDE Pony Contestants Took Advantage of Club Bonus—Nine Days of Race Remain. Within a few days fifteen more ponies will arrive for the boys and girls in The Georgian and American contest. This means but one thing— the end of the contest draws near. Another epoch in the competition ended Saturday night, when the bo nus offer for clubs of $35, $25 and $15 closed. Almost every contestant took advantage of this generous allowance of extra votes and managed to get at least one club. Another bonus offer will be an nounced at once, but those, if any, whu have been "holding back" with the idea that the final bonus offer would be as much help to them as those preceding will be disappointed, for the reason that it would be unfair to give the tardy workers an even chance with those who "got busy” earlier in the game. Monday over, but nine days re main in the contest—nine working days—a week and a half These con cluding days must be filled w’ith en deavor by every contestant, for there is not one in the lot who is a sure winner—that much is certain. No boy or girl can count with as surance on a pony. It is anyone’s race as yet. Which is just as it should be from all points of view ex cept the lazy boy’s. Wants Divorce From ‘Silver-Spoon’ Wife PITTSBURG, July 21.—Declaring that his wife had been born with a j silver spoon in her mouth, and that j he had ’grown tired trying to keep j it there,” F. W. .Lego, a prominent j merchant here, brought suit to-day! for an absolute divorce against Mary ! Wendel Lego. Trip for Columbus’ Bones Is Suggested WASHINGTON, July 2i.—Assistant j Seorctai-y of State Osborne, as the i result of his visit to the Dominican Republic and Hayti, suggests that ; the bone.s of Christopher Columbus which are at Santo Domingo City, be placed aboard the first ship to go j through the Panama Canal. UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGIST The Old Joke About “Some thing Just as Good,’’ Doesn’t Apply to This Drug Store. You have probably heard dozens of times the old story that a drug store was a place to "get some thing just as good.” There at least one druggist in the world that you can’t say this about. It is certain that an inferior ar ticle will never be substituted for a guaranteed one by any dealer. Take for instance a safe, reliable remedy for constipation and liver trouble like Dodson’s Liver Tone. This harmless vegetable liquid has proved so satisfactory a liver stim ulant and reliever of biliousness, and to entirely take the place of calomel without any danger or re striction of habits ‘or diet, that there are dozens of preparations springing up with imitations of its claims. But Dodson’s Liver Tone ie guaranteed to do all that is claimed for it, and if you are not satisfied with it your druggist will hand your money back with a smile. Any person going to a drug store for a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone will be sure of getting a large bot tle of this genuine remedy in ex change for his half dollar. r I V A small ad in thft Business Guide of the “Want Ad” Section will build up your trade.
