OWHTHEM! TURKS Cm IN UNISON ■. ■ - "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.

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 days Here nightly all week ami with mati nees today, tomorrow. Thurrdttt ami Sat urday 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. Thursday and Saturday, and every night all the week. “THERMOMETERS” The Xmas gift all can enjoy. The most interesting ornament of the household. Jno. L.
