Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Dec. 13.—The United
Mates holds the key to European
peace. This is the opinion of his
imperial highness Prince Sabah Ed-
<nn, nephew of Abdul Hamid and of
the present Sultan, and leader of the
opposition at Constantinople.
In an audience granted me to-day,

in both regions.
arious* European powers.” said
his imperial highness, “are sharpen
ing their diplomatic weapons in or
der to grab all they can in the way
of concessions of territory in Asia
Minor. This state of things is bound
to keep the- country in a permanent
state of turmoil, which the Turkish
Government is utterly unable to con
trol. The only solution of the diffi
culty that I can see is for the United
States, being independent of the in
trigues of the Triple Alliance and the
Triple Entente, and a nation whose
straightforward diplomacy and liberal
views have always set an example for
1he world, to step in and take the sit
uation in hand.
New Party to Rite.
“The present Turkish Government
will not last. Our party will come
into power next. As soon as this
happens I shall call upon the United
States for help. My policy would give
America concessions of railroad mak
ing and other public services, and
there would be an economic alliance
with Turkey appealing to American
capital and civilization for modern
ideas for Hie stricken empire. In re
turn suffl%ent concessions would bo
given am*v to compensate Ameri
ca’s good offices.
“If in this way America does not
give Turkey a helping hand, the greed
of certain powers is certain to cause
an eruption which, in spite of the ef
forts of various chancelleries, will
lead to one of the worst wars the
world has ever seen.
French Are Pushing.
^ “French interests are well estab
lished at Beirut and French states
men are seeking to extend them far
ther into Asia Minor. At the same
time England and Germany are hun
gry, with their own sphere of influ
ence there, so. without American aid,
■ tlue prospect is for perpetual economic
strife in the only territory remaining
to the shattered Ottoman Empire.
This must one day result in an ex
plosion which will bring on a scourge
to which the Balkan war would be
like child's play.
^“President Wilson's attitude toward
Mexico and his consideration of the
feelings of the Mexican people lead
us to believe that the United States
!s the only nation capable of giving
strictly disinterested assistance to
Turkey in this crisis. The moment
will come for America to abandon
her policy of shutting herself up on
her otvn hemisphere, and 9he will find
that henceforth she must play a
strong part in European diplomacy
and endeavor to inspire European
powers with her own highly developed
sense of international justice and
practical and liberal ideas.”

Thief Gets Suit, but
Leaves It and Bicycle
HENRY, S. DAK., Dec. 13.—An un
identified thief, through a peculiar
oversight, lost the fruits of his pil-
ferings and at the same time lost a
bicycle which is believed to have
been his individual property. The
thief arrived in Henry after dark and
succeeded in stealing a suit of clothes
belonging to Elmer Kinkade. a busi
ness man.
The thief by mistake placed the
stolen clothing and his bicycle in the
auto of Marshall Johnson instead of
in an auto which he had engaged for
the purpose of leaving town. He did
not return to the Johnson auto for
the stolen suit and bicycle, but aban
doned them and tied from town.
A new retail store opened its doors
yesterday morning on Peachtree
street. It is a nobby little shop in
every respect, offering a full line of
high-class “hats for men.”
Miller Dismukes & Co. is the name
and Mr. Dismukes claims the distinc
tion of presenting to Atlanta its first
high-class men’s exclusive hat store.
Mr. Dismukes halls from Nashville,
where for many years he has suc
cessfully operated a similar store.
With his expirence in the hat busi
ness, together with his strong belief
in the prosperity of Atlanta and the
demands of the men in this section
for a.n establishment of this charac
ter, the Miller Dismukes company is
expected to be a permanent and fast
growing factor in the retail business
of Peachtree street.

Quits Wife for Army;
Patriot, Says Judge
SPRINGFIELD, ILL., Dec. 13.—A
married man who leaves his wife to
join the United States army is a
patriot and not a wife deserter, ac
cording to a ruling by Judge Creigh
ton, in the Sangamon County Circuit
Court.
The opinion was expressed in a
ruling by the .court that Mrs. Alice
Sidener must chance her bill of di
vorce from William F\ Sidener to
say that Sidener “left” her to Join
the army, instead of “deserted” her
for that purpose.
“A man can not be charged with
desertion because he joins the army,”
Judge Creighton observed. “That is
a patriotic act.”

What an Investment in
the Company to Develop
and Sell Silver Lake Es
tates Will Mean!
The following is reprinted from a former aunouiiceuient, for
there is no other way of telling these simple facts.
One matter, however, may be added and emphasized—the
greater part of this stock has been sold. Immediate action is
necessary if you are interested. .
Silver Lake Estates must strongly
appeal to the careful and conserva
tive investor, and to the young man
to whom safety as well ns substantial
return is an important factor.
Let us take, for the sake of illus
tration, the purchase of ten shares of
stock—though, of course, you are at
liberty to purchase as much more
than ten shares as you wish. For ten
shares, amounting to $1,000, which we
take as the unit basis, you pay $200
cash and $200 each year thereafter Tot
four years, in monthly, quarterly or
semi-annual payments. ,
Conservatively estimated, the re
turns from your $1,000 investment wllj
be <1) a land dividend, consisting of
a lot of your selection in Silver Lake
Estates worth $1,000; (2) $3,000 in
cash profits from the sale of the re
mainder of the property, and (3) the
return of your original investment,
making a total of $5,000 for your
$1,000 interest.
How can this be done, you ask?
Here is the way:
There are in Silver Lake Estates,
by actual survey, 113,500 feet of front
age. from w'hich must be deducted for
parks and playgrounds 22,000 feet,
leaving net residence frontage of 91,-
500 feet.
Purchased and developed at a total
cost to the company of $500,000, Sil
ver Lake Estates, ready for home
building, will bring on the market at
present prices a total of more than
$2,500,000, or $3 for every dollar put
into it. That it will do this can not
be questioned; we know it from ex
perience.
Tltat is the plan in a nutshell. Can
you conceive of a more satisfactory, a.
more substantial investment? Re
call, if you will, these excerpts from
Governor .Slaton's letter:
“There is no tract X know of any
where which, with the improvements
proposed, will combine more desira
ble qualities for residence purposes
than does Silver Lake
“Silver Lake Estates has in it all
the possibilities of an ideal home sec
tion, and there is no doubt many At->
Iantans will want to live there.”
This from lion. Hoke Smith:
“There is no more beautiful place
for suburban residences than the land
surrounding Silver L<ake.
“The location there of the Ogle
thorpe University should prove an
additional reason for making a so
ciety of culture and refinement.”
Many investors have already joined
us; many others are 'preparing to
come with us immediately, realizing
that but few days remain in which to
close up tills big transaction and plan
for the early development of this
property.
If you want to be with us. see us
at once,
We ask you to write us and let us mail you a SILVER LAKE
ESTATES booklet. If there is anything we have not made clear,
ask us about it; let us give you any information you may wish
about this investment, the best, in our opinion and that of many
others, that Atlanta has yet offered.
