place, comes before the voters
this week as a candidate for Tax
Assessor Of Chickasaw county.
Mr.. Williams has served the
county in the second district both
as deputy chancery clerk and as
deputy sheriff, filling both places

ATHENS, June 5. (By mail to New
York. )-While goodly portion of the
rest OF Europe is engaged IN war, and
while even Greece herself is deciding
whether or not she shall participate,
at least one man is working over time
teaching the arts OF peace. and this
man is an American.
/. From Epirus, where the past two
and half years, Raymond Duncan,
brother Of Isadore Duncan, the revivo-
! of Greek dances, has been teaching
the poverty stricken victims of the
last two Balkan wars how to weave

call of war victims. This time it is
1.-THE Greek refugees that have been sz-
PEELED from Asia Minor by the Turks
since the beginning of the present
war Altogether they total 100000.
OF these, $4,000 are at Athens. $4,000
at Salonika and the remainder scatter
ed through different portions Of
Greece.
| Unable to cope with such gigantic
problem on any modern basis, Greece
isimply decided to give each one OF
them an allowance each day until
homes could be built for them anu
they could be settled in colonies. Dun
lean, however, came to Athens and
told the Greek government it was
wrong: he told them that charity Of
that kind was pauperizing and that
| the same amount Of money should be
used instead and giving them work.
He offered to take over the job and
the Greek government gladly turned
lover to him the $4,000 refugees at
Athens. In no time at all he had them
| all at work and at work along the
same lines they had done in Asia
Minor. There were farmers who
merely knew how to turn up the soil
and nothing more. There were soap
makers, carpenters, weavers, brick
layers and men of every trade or o,-
cupation of some kind For all OF
them he found work. He even organ
lied mills where the women and little
girls who could do nothing else, were
taught to weave wool. All of the BOYS
were organized into the first and
only messenger service that Athens

The start was made under favorable
circumstances, but the column al

weather. which continued for nine
days. Through all this time the
cars ploughed gumbo. and camp was
made almost every night in the rain.
The task Of pulling through the gum
DO and climbing the steep hills Of the
west was simple one for the eight
cylinder Cadillacs, FIVE Of this type
being included in the column.
After the rainy spell, fairly good
weather was encountered, making
the journey vastly pleasant for the
young soldiers-in-t he-making. The
column was welcomed enthusiastical-
ly into the larger towns and cities
through which it passed. At Omaha.
Denver and other points, officials and
motorists turned out to escort the
military men into the cities, and en-
tertained them later. At Sacramento,
California, they were met by the gov
errors staff and given banquet in
the evening. They were entertained
again at Stockton, and near Oakland
were met by the mayor and many
others and escorted into the city.

The column included an officers

cars; a field Kitchen: hospital car;
an armored car, mounting rapid fire
gun; quartermaster' car. with

the hero of the 1910 Glidden tour.
Colonel Davidson, the command

exclusively. Each summer he plans
tour that will demonstrate some
new phase of the automobiles useful
ness DIS an adjunct to an army in the
field. The journey just successfully
completed is the most difficult ever
attempted by his corps, and more ex-
tended than any ever before under
taken by number of military cars.
Early in the trip Lieutenant Arne-
mann said the tour was as arduous
as any in which the units of the regu-
lar army have participated.
Carrying great extra weight In the
way of guns and armament, kitchen,
hospital and wireless equipment, the
cars were put to most rigorous test,
but the entire trip was made without
