NEAR EAST NEEDS FRIEND 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.

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.
