the Boardwalk to Overlooking.

Atlantic City, July Gone hundred and
| eighty thousand men. women and children

States and from every walk OF life, in
Guiding the millionaire and the hobo, en-

United their patriotism TO get the better

merchant in bathing, and they at once

Greek battalion. They called off hostili-

Wooden Way crowd Then they began
pelting the Turk again. They were finally
arrested and hailed TO the Central Station,
| still attired I'm their bathing suits, where
