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, a - \ ri , nce * x P lal ned the situation in Asia Minor and the similar conditions in Mexico by saying anarchy reigns 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.” Miller Dismukes Co.

" 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.
