"We Will Never Submit to
Destruction of Our Nation.”
Factions Join in Saying.
ONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 24.—Mobs
n f Young Turks paraded through the
ity today, crying "On with the. war.”
Wild -xeltement was caused when
details of the demands of the Balkan
sflles in the peace conference at Lon
don were received here and the dem
onstration of Young Turke was a pro
test against any terms which will de
prive Turkey of a large part of her pos
sesions in Europe.
The terms as presented to the Turk
>h envoys In London would reduce
the sultan's possessions in Europe to
about 2.500 square miles instead of its
present area of 63,350 square miles. Th*
government will make known Its ac- I
. eptance or rejection of the terms only !
.troug.i its envoys, but the fact that I
. t have been made public here indi
ces tiiat the Porte will seize the pop
ular protest as a reason for rejecting
them.
The political bickering that has pre
vailed for many months was eliminated
today and leaders of the various parties
arranged for conferences with one ob- 1
iy-, m view—resumption of the war |
with Greece and the Balkan nations.
\ eading member of the military |
«rty said today that if the government i
■ • de to the terms proposed by the al- i
es it will sign its.own death warrant, i
The Turkish nation will never sub- t
nit to Its destruction.” he said. "We I
were beaten by the allies, but we will j
fight to the last against any terms that
practically destroy our country.
We ask only for justice and we will I
:.ave justice dr war. There is no doubt ’
that the demands of the allies were I
known to all the powers before they I
cere submitted to us. They intend to :
use the Turkish nation as a buffer and
destroy its nationality. We shall never
submit.”
Greeks Defeat
10,000 Turks
ATHENS, Dec. 24.—Ten thousand ;
Turkish soldiers marching to the relief !
us Janina have been decisively defeat
ed by the Greeks near Liaskoviki.
Official dispatches announcing th.
Greek victory caused wild jubilation
V‘ en received here today, as the Turk
ish expedition was believed to be the
final effort of the porte to save Janina.
The Turkish army lost, several hun- ;
fired men killed and Wounded, and at 1
last reports was fleeing in utter rout to i
Liaskoviki, with the Greeks in close
pursuit.

HECDRDINGREASE
OF MENIS
Contracts already made between real
estate firms and house builders and
citizens indicate that In the year 1912
there will be an Increase of ten per
cent in the number of Atlanta people
living In apartment houses. There are
at present nearly 100 apartments worth
approximately $5,000,000, Including the
sites, and capable of accommodating
approximately 5,000 persons, and the
estimate is that 500 additional tenants
will move in during 1915.* With the
exception of hotels, there has been a
greater proportionate increase in apart
ments than in any other type of public
building in the city.
M. L. Thrower announced today the
opening of the new $50,000 apartments
at the northwest corner of West Peach
tree and Peachtree place. This build
ing is three stories and built of con
crete, containing six six-room apart
ments. It is on a lot 75x175, facing on
Peachtree place, and containing front
age on West Peachtree, which will be
used for a front yard.
B. M. Grant & Co. have thrown open
the Werner apartments on Washington
street, opposite the state capitol, and
there are many’other apartment build
ings. among which the Albert Ho-well
structure at the southeast corner of
Peachtree and Ponce De I,eon stands
out as a “head-liner.” The Howell
apartments are expected to be com
pleted in the early spring. The frame
work practically is done, much of the
brick laid and some of the massive
stone pillars up in front. Apartments
will soon be built on West Catn street,
in Inmin Park and in the Ansley Park
section. Three of those planned will
cost, about a quarter of a million dol
lars.
■‘FROLICS OF 1912" AN UP-TO
THE-MINUTE HODGE PODGE
At the Lyric last night, in spite of chill
ing rain and lilting winds, a splendid
audience hade welcome to the "Frolics of
1912.” a hodge-podge of fun and songs,
with lots of music, pretty girls, and terp
sichorean revelries.
There is nothing overwhelmingly star
tling in the "frolics,” but there is a whole
lot of good, refreshing entertainment.
The company of girls and boys support
Itilbe Welch and Kitty Francis, former
stars of “The Midnight. Sons” company
talthough they need very little support),
and there are several really good song
hits. One especially, "Because It Can't
Sit Down," is well sung by Katherine
Byron, an exceptionally good member of
the cast. •
The Yalto duo, Russian dancers, fea
ture Victor Herbert’s "Kiss Waltz,” and
also perform a bit of characteristic heel
and toe work which Is appreciated.
“The Frolics of 1912" is well worth a
trip up Lyricway. and will prove a splen
did entertainment for the Christmas holi

BETTER STREETS
NOW LOOKED FOR
X
L”h ling members of council declared
today that the changes in the city con
struction department provided by coun
cil yesterday -afternoon would mean ti
marked improvement in street and sew
er work next year.
R. M. Clayton, the head, of th- de
partment, said that he was satisfied
with the action of council and expected |
improvement in his department.
Councilman Harvey Hatcher started
a stout defense of the department in
opposition to the reform measures yes
terday afternoon, but practically aban
doned the light before the special com
mittee on reorganization, whose report
Chairman Charles W. Smith was pre
senting. bad been completed.
During one of his speeches Council
man Albert Thomson interrupted him
with the remark:
"I think Councilman Hatcher is the
only man in Atlanta who does not want
to see the work of the construction de
partment done a little better.”
Besides providing for more stiict
specifications for contractors, the new
ordinance requires all public utility
corporations to prepare for street im
provements by such times as the chief
of construction shall specify. The pro
vision is intended to prevent such de
lays as occurred in the Peachtree and
Marietta. streets work.
An arrangement is to be made with
the trolley company to transport con
victs and crushed rock by trolley cars
instead of by wagons. This will save a
great deal of time and money.
All appointments of inspectors in the
department must be approved by the
streets committee.
~ AT THE THEATERS
“THE SIREN” CAPTIVATES
BIG ATLANTA AUDIENCE
"I he Siren," presented at the Atlanta
last night with Donald Brian and Carroll
McComas, is a unique and beautiful per
formance. The appeal to popular ap
proval, contrary to most shows, lies not
j ,n Die scenery, the costumes, the showy
beauty of girla, nor even in the music,
though "The Siren" displays n-« lack of
either or all of these usual attractions.
It is only that the exquisite dancen which
i break the progress of the play at shorn
intervals offer so strong and so notel
an appeal to interest the other excellences
or the play are forgotten.
These dances are given not only by
Donald Brian, the most graceful dancer
on the stage of the so-called ball room
dances, but by various members of the
cast and the chorus, each of whom seems
to have been-«elected with a special view
to terpsichorean talents. "The Siren”
Serves to present a series of beautiful
and graceful dances, without resemblance
to the faddist dancing of the period, nor
of the ballet, nor of the Interpretative
dancing of the Russian*. The numbers
include waltzes, with wonderful "varia
tions:’’ polka measures, a. glorified two
step. an<i last but not least, a Cohan
esque exhibition by Donald Brian, in the
last act. The scenery is hut a back
ground for this graceful art; the story
but an excuse for its Introduction; the
tnen and women hut charming and grace
ful dancers; the songs and music only
lilting measures for the tap of graceful
feet.
Os the several men who made a repu
tation as "Merry Widowers,” Donald
Brian excelled them all in dancing, as
did George Damerel in whimsical love
making and Charles Meacham in his por
trayal of the joy of life. "The Siren’’
was skillfully built to give Donald Brian
full scope in the art wherein he excels,
and his company was selected to enhance
the effect rather than to diminish it, for
Brian is too good to fear rivalry in Ids
dancing.
It may be mentioned also that Donald
Brian sings well, and has several pleas
ing numbers, which would leave a strong
er impress had not his dancing taken up
so much of one’s attention.
The company with Brian is excellent.
Miss McComas is winsome and graceful.
Miss Ethel Cadman is splendid and has
the strongest voice of his company. Har
ry T. Delf does some fine dancing him
self, more in the Cohan style than Brian.
Cyril Blddulph furnishes the h‘gh comedy,
and Will West the low- the very low.
"The Siren” was presented to the most
brilliant audience of the season last
night, when the members of the Cotillion
club occupied the entire middle section
of seats.
GRAND BILL THIS WEEK
IDEAL HOLIDAY OFFERING
Very diversified and uniformly good, the
Grand bill of vaudeville presents an ideal
holiday offering. It runs the gamut of
entertainment, beginning with an equili
brist, followed by a good music and
"patter" team, a poseur, a blackface
artist, a sketch, a quartet and a juggling
quintet.
There are no high lights—no act which
could be considered so much better than
the others as to deserve especial praise.
In fact, if you are not too critical you
could easily call It a bill of headliners—
or feature acts, at least —and not be far
wrong
'Dinkelsplel's Christmas" is in the
proper spirit of the season, and is Hobart
at his best, well interpreted by Bernard
A. Reinold, a splendid German interpreter,
and a very capable company. It Is full
of quiet, even penetrating, humor, and
each of the five characters is well handled.
Probably the best act on the bill is the
Empire Comedy Four, featuring a Ger
.man comedian Joe Jenny - who is a mu
sical comedy in himself. The singing of
this quartet is far above the average
and the comedy Is on a par with the
music
Fred Jarvis and Frederica Harrison, in
a song, dance and "patter" sketch, proved
a delightful quarter of an hour, and.
though occupying second place on the bill
and working while a rain-belated audi
ence was getting settled, they "made
good" in fine style Jarvis has a most
infectious laugh which he uses to good ad
vantage.
Miss Robbie Gordone, In statuary re
productions, was well received, as was
Edgar Berger, the gymnast; Lew Haw
kins. in blackface comedy, and the Jug
gling Normans.
All in all. the Christmas week offering
at the Grand is excellent.
EMMA BUNTING AND COMPANY
“COME BACK” AFTER A REST
Little Emma Hunting and her players,
after a week's rest, return to business at
the Forsyth, opening the week's engage
ment last night in Channing Pollock’s
"The Little Gray Ijuiy.' and a splendid
crowd greeted the return. The play is
one without a hero, but tills does not
necessarily mean there are no heroic fig
ures In the unfolding of the story.
Each of the members is well placed in
the oast, abd Miss Bunting has a role en
tirely suited to her George Whitaker
has a part which fits him splendidly, and
the work of the entire company last
night was greted with enthusiasm
The Little Gray Lady" will be pre
sented at matinee today. Christmas day.
