Athens, Sept. 2S. (Via London) Sept
29. The Greek government has re.
leased the sikhs and gourkas who
were survivors of the British trans.
port Ramazan which was sunk by a
submarine. They were sent immedi.
ately to Malta on the, steamer Siboni.
Many of them had no opportunity even
to obtain clothing.
There has been no previous an
nouncement of the sinking of the Ram
azan, a steamer Of 3,477 tons, although
wireless dispatch from Berlin on
September 81 stated that the Frank
furter Zeitung reported that large
British transport from Egypt for the
Dardanelles had been sunk by Ger
man submarine. This vessel could
hardly have been the Ramazan, how
ever. for the Frankfort paper said the
vessel in question was a $4,000 ton
steamer which had been sunk in the
Mediterranean W off the Island of Crete.
The Ramazan evidently was carry

GOOD THING !!

partment
This Paper Will Help Pay
Expenses of Teacher in
Event City Declines to
Ac~ Favorahlv
Ac- FavOrabIy

The Review thoroughly believes
in the proposed plan of employing
an all time teacher for civic beauty
aud home gardening for this city.
We cannot measure in dollars and
cents the magnitude of the work,
! what it will mean to the youth of
High Point and consequently the
coming generation in developing
them to the highest point of efficien-
cy from business as well as a
physical standpoint-encouraging
that thrift and industry lying dor
mant and which under the proper
care will develop into great possibi-
:lities 1t will also mean dollars and
cents to the household and much
wealth to the community, sharing
in the battle of life by the children
whose idle moments can be best
spent in good, healthy exercise and
create in them an early desire to
make and save, kind of indepen-
dence that makes work a pleasure.
We verify believe the city council
will act speedily on the matter. 1t
is not so much question of what
other things we need but should we
have this. If we stop to consider
certain conditions we will never have
Let each matter take
care of itself is fhe best plan.
The cost to the city would be only
$4,000 year more than the present
expense or $4,000 a month-a mere |
trif1e compared to the great good to
be derived.
But in the event the city fails to
act favorably way should be pro-
vided and The Review is pointing
)ut way, viz: The editor will be
one of fifty citizens who will pay
he price named for such teacher
or the first year or as long as it is
essential to the maintenance of such
4 teacher by private subscriptions.

way Announces the Appea-
rance of Cleo Madison
Friday

We beg to announce that the in
comparable Cleo Madison is billed
to appear al the Broadway Friday
A Mothers Atonemert'' A wonder
full production in three parts. Miss
Madison appears in this strong emo
tional drama, both as. mother and
daughter. In one strong situation
the mother induces the daughter to
take her first glass of wine, not
knowing her identity. AS the moth
er she appears to a handsome wo-
man of the world; somewhat blase
and hardened, but still beautiful.
AS the daughter she is simply sweet
sixteen" and the contrast is remark
able. 1t has been aptly remarked
that all the world is interested in
the actors art. This is the age of
the moving picture. The mission
of the actor is an important one and
is far reaching in it's influence. 1t
is given to him, or her, to WELD
with mighty power. Not alone can
they amuse and entertain, but they
can instruct as we'll. 1t has been
truthfully said of Miss Madison. that
she can dispell the gloom and shed
sunshine around; she can Danish
sorrow and inspire hope, she can
make misery flee and bring comfort
in it's stead, she can replace the
frowns of hate by the smiles Of love,
she can bring the laughter of joy to
the eyes that were wet with grief;
she can play the enchanter's part
and cast a bliss all around" till not
sigh or aching heart in all the
world is found. If any actress has
done anything to make this a hap
pier world to live in, that woman is
Cleo Madison, who has played more
than 10000 roles since she became
a photoplayer. Don't fail to see her
at the Broadway Friday.
