STRIFE NOW AT DEADLOCK.
Fighting at T'batalga Has Been I'm.
decisive and Adrianople Holds
Out As Strong As Ever.

london, March 22.-The develop
ments of the past week appear to
measure the continuance of the Bal
kan war fer only a.few days longer.
Turkey has no hopes of obtaining
more money and has entered her in
terests into the good office of the
powers and the Allies have accept
ed the powers offer OF meditation.
The representatives of the powers
at Sofia today handed the Balkan
premiers the cheme embodying bar
ses for mediation,
Their plan includes two portions
to which all the Allies will object
The demand for indemnities are We
toed and the powers 'stipulate that
hostilities must cease when their pro-
jposal is acceped 1t is apparent,
however, that all will prefer to set
tie on the terms now offered
The war has practically come to a
deadlock. Fighting at Tchatalia has
been indeoisive. Adrianople seems
to be holding out as strong as ever
after five months seige and wire

AnaIev Park Car Linz

A quiet movement has been on foot
for several weeks to get a car line
through Ansley Park, and those who
are interested in the project are hop
ing for success. The idea is to ex-
tend the Piedmont avenue line, which
stops just a few hundred yards south
of the city limits, through to Polo
drive, over that thoroughfare's stone
bridge and thence to Rock Springs.
The people of the Rock Springs
section have been seeking a car line
many months, and II seems to be sim
ply a question OF which route to
choose to their neighborhood The
line, they have been assured, will be
extended to Rock Springs, either
through Ansley Park or by way of
Piedmont avenue. Realizing what
Edwin p Ansley has done for the
city, heavy owners in the Rock
Springs section have felt inclined to
pull for the Ansley Park route. The
other way, however. would make 1t
possible to widen Piedmont avenue.
"Ansley Park must soon have its
car line" declared a well-known real
estate dealer. There are too many
nickels for the street car company"

To Discuss Realty Loans.

An important meeting of the mem
bers of the Atlanta Real Estate Board
will be held Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock in room 314 of the State Cap
itol to urge the passage Of the sinking
fund investment bill, which provides
for investing State reserve funds in
real estate as a first lien as well as
in bonds
on the committee to see the proper
authorities about this legislation are
Harris G. White, president of the
board: S. B. thurman, second vice
president, and W. A. Foster, of the
Foster &, Robson Agency, and a di
rector of the board. They VIII not
only appear before Legislative COM
mittee, but will use every effort be-
tween now and Tuesday to get all
the real estate men to attend the
meeting.
Representatives Field and Smith, of
DeKalb. are the authors of the bill TO
repeal the measure of 1910 which re-
stricts such loans to bonds. Real es-
tate constitutes about SO per cent of
the taxable values in Fulton County
and about "a per cent in the State,
and because Of this it is held that
such discrimination should not exist.

steady. A leading real estate agency
has a client, for instance, who wants
to put $4,000 cash into a North Side
residence. This office had a number
of inquiries Saturday.
A citizen wants to exchange a piece
OF semi central property within the

home worth $4,000 to S16,5OO, paying
the difference.
Another agency has customers for a
ten-room home that can be used for
two families, and for a twelve-room
