Disinterested Power Must Step in
or Eruption Will Exceed Balkan
War, He Says.
- By C. F. BERTELLI.
Special Cable to The American.
• PARIS, Dec. 13.—The United
States holds the key to European
peace. This is the opinion of his
imperial highness Prince Sabah Ed-
<lin, nephew of Abdul Hamid and of
the present Sultan, and leader of the
opposition at Constantinople.
In an audience granted me to-day,
tlK* Prince explained the situation in
Asia Minor and the similar conditions
in Mexico by saying anarchy reigns
in both regions.
“Various European powers.” said
bis 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 th€i 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
the world, to step in and take the sit
uation in hand.
New Party to Rise.
“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 the 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 hapd, 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,
Tii|* prospect is for perpetual economic
strife in the only territory remaining
to the shattered Ottoman Empire.
This mu$t 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 c'ome for America to abandon
Tier policy of shutting herself up on
her own hemisphere, and she will And
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-
.terings 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 fled from town.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 13.—When he
found the picture of the “other man”
and love letters tucked away in the
family Bible, which lie seldom look
ed at, Eugene Martineau, Jr., ice
cream manufacturer, says in his di-
virce petition, he decided it was time
for them to part company.
Letters, which Martineau declares
he found with the photograph, are
alleged to have been written by a
salesman twenty years Mrs. Marti-
neau’s senior. Mrs. Martineau works
in her husband’s office.
"He may talk all he cares to,” she
said, pointing iq Mr. Martineau, who
was busy at another desk. “1 do not
care to answer him at present.”
Each day the husband and wife
appear at their desks and take up
their respective duties as if nothin?
had happened.
When one desires to consult the
other on a matter that demands the
combined wisdom of the firm, an of
fice boy is called, and he conveys th"
questions and answers.

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

Court.
The opinion was expressed in a
ruling by the.court that Mrs. A’ice
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.”
