TRYING TO STOP GREEK
EXODUS FROM TARP0N

Greek business men of Tarpon
Springs are taking steps to stop the
exodus of their countrymen from
here to City Point, Va, where many
of them have gone recently to work
in big powder mill In undertaking
this work, the leaders are making
special efforts to guard against err
roneous reports being established in
the minds of the remaining Greeks
or in the opinion of the rest of the
state.
From data secured from the rail-
road officers of the city, the Greek
leaders estimate that only about $50
of their countrymen have gone to
City Point. OF this number % are
said to have bought round trip tick
cts. so that they evidently intend tc
return.
AS to the wages paid the Greeks
at the powder mills, numerous let

yet ii was a very heavy heart that he
carried with him into the little motion
picture theater. where he sought q
few moments of relaxation later on in
the evening. He and Madge had often
gone there in the days when he be-

YEARLY he made his way to the cor

always sat. The house was lighted
up, and he was conspicuous as he sat
there, but he did not pay any atten-
ton to the audience after q sweeping
glance over it had told him that Madge
was not there.
Without interest, he gazed at a
thrilling Indian story, not caring In
the least If every white settler on the
film was wiped out by the bloodthirsty
savages. What was the misery of
people long ago gone, if indeed they
ever existed, to his, deprived of his
faith in his love?
Listlessly he followed the story of
the next film. There was the usual
quarrel between two lovers, although
he reflected bitterly that neither had
his cause. Suddenly he Strengthened
up. The lover received letter from
the girl with whom he had quarreled
and it was photographed on the film

but he also understood that it was

thought famed through him that there
must be some heart-healing explana

when in the seat by his side where
she had sat so often was-Madge!
Instinctively his hand reached TO
hers, and in the tender pressure Civ

As Jack crossed the office on his
way to his desk, his eyes dwelt ten
derby on Madge's nimble fingers as
they traced what he felt sure was a
note to him. Thinking to surprise
her, he drew nearer, and suddenly the
large writing on the sheet seemed to
rise up and assail his eyes. With hurt
horror he read:

fly us from all brutality, so that, in
this hour of savage hate, our prayer
may rise to Thee pure as that of our
children.

Joined forces with the strong to at
tack the weak. No ambition of en-
pire excites us to exterminate. We
do not wish to sack and burn the
lands of others. But the lands OF
Italy are made for us. Thou hast
given them to us. Our fathers made
them free from the ancient yoke at
the price of their blood. And in the
day when we have to fight for them
in whatever quarter, bless o Lord
our arms and our King, scion of he
roes and of saints.
And give us victory, and give III
an olive branch, for our children
for our wives, for the tombs of ou
fathers"
The prayer is printed on card
on one side of which is pictured al
encampment of soldiers, with the Re
deemers head appearing in the SIX
