PROOFS OF ATROCITIES
BY GREEKS PUBLISHED.
Letters In Captured Mail Bag Avow
Assassination and Arson.

In order to prove that Greek soldiers
Were responsible for a number of
atrocities against the Bulgarians in the
fighting last July between Bulgaria
and her former allies, Greece, Servia
and Montenegro, there has been made
public in Sofia extracts from letters
written by Greek soldiers and officers
to friends at home. These letters were
captured in a mail bag of the Nine
teenth regiment of the Seventh Greek
division by Bulgarian troops in the
vicinits of RaZlog. They have been
given out by the Bulgarian telegraphic
agency in pamphlet form. Each letter
is printed i'll facsimile of the original
Greek, followed by a translation in
French. which gives the dates and the
names signed to each communication.
The first letter in the pamphlet is
dated July II and the last July Il.
Extracts from some of these commu-
nications of Greek soldiers and officers
follow:
Eve have burned all the villages
abandoned by the Bulgarians. They
burned the Greek villages and we the
Bulgarian villages. They massacre,
we massacre, and the Mannlicher has
operated against every member of this
dishonest nation who has fallen into
our hands. Out of 200 prisoners that
we took at Nigrita only forty-one re
| manned in prison. and everywhere we
went we have left no root of this race.
Another letter from a sergeant says;
eve burned the two villages of Dou-
| till and BantiZa and put everything Il
| the bayonet or the flame, making eX
ception only Of women, children and
| old people and churches. We did al
this without pity and without grace"
| 4 very brief extract is given from
! the letter Nico Theophilatos sent Il
Demetre Chr Tsigaridi, at Mexiata
under date of July II. Nico writes
They gave me sixteen prisoners tC
take to division headquarters. and
| turned in only two. The others were
lost in the darkness, massacred by my
self"
This last letter bears the seal of til,
Nineteenth regiment. .#

NEW GEM AMONG JEWELS.
Experts Declare the HeIiodor Ranks
With Ruby and Emerald.

a new gem, given the name of "heli-
odor'' and found in German South At
RIGA has taken its place among the
jewels, says the Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The German kaiser recent
ly presented one of the new stones to
the kaiserin. This discovery Of the
new stone was made by the governor
and director of the German Colonial
society while he was travelling in Ger
man South Africa. In the sand near
the railway between Swakopmund and
Windkuk he found a large crystal,
rough and unpromising in appearance
He carried it with him to Germany
and had it cut and polished in 4 dia-
mond cutting factory. The result was
a surprisingly clear, pale aquamarine
Of great brilliance.
The German colonial office immedi-
ately took possession of the ground
upon which the crystal was found, and
4 great number of the crystals are now
making their appearance upon the
German market. Experts agree that
the new gem is entitled to rank with
the ruby and emerald.
Heliodor is a golden yellow stone in
the daylight and turns green at night
under artificial light.

HELPFUL WAYS.
Kerosene an Excellent Cleanser-care
of Gas Stove.

of Gas Stove.
A housekeeper who prides herself on
her excellent management gives the
following secret of busting: She always
dips her busters In paraffin oil after
washing them and says it is really .
astonishing to find how much more eff. \
fective they are.
This is only one of the numerous
uses to which she puts kerosene. A
Kerosene soaked rag removes all of the
grease from the kitchen sink an
leaves it bright and shining In the
same way her stove Is kept clean.
In speaking of stoves 1t is worth
mentioning here that vaseline is con-
sidered an excellent substitute for
blackening for the gas range. After
work on the range has been finished
for the day a rag creased with vase
line should be rubbed over the range
inside and out. If this is done while
1t is still warm, the gas having been
turned Off, the effect Is most satisfac.

Valuable Laundry Hints.
Never put things out of hot starch
through rubber wringers. 1t Injuries the
rollers.
A new stiff brush makes the best
sprinkler for dampening clothes-better
even than a tin salt sprinkler.
Before washing lace curtains tack a
strip Of muslin along their outer edges
and let it remain until they are dry,
and you will thus avoid the usual trou-
BILE of sagging. Rubber rollers may be
cleaned by rubbing them with a rag
dipped in parrafin.
The water in which rice has been
boiled may be saved and used to stiffen
small articles. This is worth noting
by the bachelor girl who does her own
cooking and also washes her own mus
lin collars. etc. These muslin collars
she should also remember. must be
thoroughly dried before being put
away or they will turn limp again. TIC
these may be added many scraps OF
valuable information for use in the
kitchen.

for Miss Mary Ammons and DR.. John

to the families of the two young peo-
pie, who are to be married soon, and

tic taste and the gracious hospitality
of one of the most popular Atlanta

The table, with covers for twelve,
was decorated in pink and white. A
long white basket filled with pink En-
chantress carnations and sprays Of
white spirea, stood in the center, the
long handle tied with pink tulle,
through the loops of which were thrust
sprays of the spirea, At either end Of
the table were vases of the carnations
and spirea. and silver candlesticks were
tipped with pink shades Festoons Of
smilax encireled the base of the bas-
ket, the vases and the candlesticks,
making a veritable floral bed of the
table, with room only for the places of
the guests, which were marked with
little Cupids holding pink bouquets
Details of the menu suggested the APP
preaching wedding, with the Ices as
pink turtledoves and the cakes and
CONNECTIONS pink hearts.
The dinner party included, besides
the bride and bridegroom elect, the
latter being a brother of the hostess,
DR.. and Mrs. C. B. Wilmer. the brides
PARENTS Mrs. Phillips, her grandmoth-
err: Miss Ruth Wing, MI Howell Pee
