FIRST PEACE EASTER

UNUSUAL DISPLAY OF RELIGIOUS
FEELING MARKS OBSERVANCE
IN ATLANTA-MoTHERS WOR-
SHIP WITH SOLDIERS SONS.

Atlanta, Ga. April 21.-With the
flags of all the nations flying above
the main thoroughfafes, with streets
full of men in uniform and with
churches packed so full that in many
CT them the minister requested that
members of the congregation come
on the pulpit rostrum and seat them
selves on the steps. Atlanta celebrat-
ed yesterday the first peace Easter
following the signing of the armistice.
The day was marked by an unusual
display of religious feeling. The
churches were packed and damned
and leading ministers preached with
Il new and altogether spontaneous
note of earnestness indeed, there was
a certain tensity of feeling in the
churches that could literally be felt.
SO many mothers were sitting with
glad faces and with their arms inter-
locked with those of their soldier
sons just returned home safely, while
some of the men from overseas frank
ly laid caressing and affectionate
arms across the shoulders of their
loved ones during the services.
Sadder persons, who listened to the
message of the resurrection with a
thought of what it meant to them and
to those who sleep the long sleep in
France, wept softly as the Easter mu-
sic rose triumphantly after the ser
mon.
A new atmosphere was felt even in
the streets, which were thronged
later in the day with people. The
parks, too, were filled with Sunshine
seekers as Easter this year, for the
first time in several years, was
bright and warm and full of spring
cheer.

MAYOR OF ATLANTA
SEVERELY REBUKED
CHARGES ARE MADE THAT HIS
ANiMOSITIES HAVE BECOME

REACT AGAINST ADMlNlSTRA-

Atlanta, Ga, April 21.-One prOmi-
nent citizen has publicly called the
hand of Atlanta's mayor on his ami
mostly toward the street railway
com any. which for some time has
been a noticeable and regrettabe fea-
ture of his administration. Forrest
Adair, known throughout the south
as one of the leading real estate men
Of the country, charges in public
statement that Mayor Keys animos-
ity toward the Georgia Railway &
Power Company has become an abb
session with him, a mania that is
getting the best of his judgement
and reacting against his public
career and against him personally
Mr. Adair, who is one of AtIanta's
most constructive citizens and who
has always taken a leading part in
all activities connected with Atlanta's
growth and development, says further
illdI vi Nty has dliONVN IliS VIZ
session to so far get the better of
him that he seems to think that the
only thing he has to do as mayor is
to fight the power company. He has
lost his poise and all idea Of balance
in administering the affairs of the
city, say Mr.. Adair in his statement,
and he has gone so far in his bitter
ness and animosity that few people
attach the slightest importance to any
thing he says in connectio nwith the
company.
Mayor Key has ether trouble on his
hand, too, because he is being severe
ly criticised also by the housewives of
the city who ridicule his position on
the question of the company's right to
furnish cooking gas to them, which
of course they have used since the
gas company was built, the mayor
averring that the company has no
such right; and local engineers also
are having their fling at the mayor
