AMERICUS. GA., MONDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 18. 1922. MAYOR ISSUES CHARTER CALL Announces That Election Will Take Place Sept. 27—About 300 Can Vote Mayor J. E. Sheppard Monday ad vertised the fact that the election to ' determine the fate of the city man- I ager charter will take place Septem ber 27 in this -city. There has been some doubt as to whether the election would be held or not, owing to the fact that sup porters of the plan were willing to pass the present charter by until a more representative vote could be had. The members of the Old Charter club have, however, insisted that the law is an act of the Legislature and only the Legislature can repeal it, therefore it ’ is incumbent upon the mayor to call the election. faking this stand Mayor Sheppard has called for the election, as pro vided for in the charter as passed by ti ■ last Legislature and on Sep tember 27 approximately 300 voters "f the city will vote on the question of a change in government for this city.

NAVAL FORCE IN EUROPE The total of Uncle Sam’s naval forces in European waters on Sept. 15 was as follows: Battleship Utah, at Cherbourg, j France. Destroyer McCormick, at Gi braltcr. Destroyers Parrott, Lawrence and Litchfield, at Smyrna. Destroyers Edsall and Simp- ! son, at Constantinople. Destroyer McLeish at Sam run, Turkey. Destroyer Bulmer, at Odessa. I Station Ship Scorpion, at Con stantinople. Submarine f baser 96,. at Mu- I dania, Turkey. Submarine Chaser 338, at Corfstantinople. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 18.— Diplomacy, rather than force, is America’s chief dependency in the . boiling Turkish situation. Five thousand Americans in the ; nciw vrar zone depend for protection on the small naval force under com- . I mand of Rear Admiral Mark L. Bristol--and upon Bristol’s 4M'°" macy in his capacity of American high commisisoner to Turkey. Admiral Bristol, alone of the for . eign representative here, has the full ; confidence of the Turkish authori ties. I Meanwhile there has been much : distrust among British, French and Italians in this region. For a long j time they were at loggerheads, in- ■ dividuals and cliques playing secret games, politically, commercially and ! ' financially. Whispers of violations of neutrali ty have been heard from time to ' time. America’s position has been strong, for she is regarded as the I only power which wants no special ! I favors. i Uncle Sam’s naval forces in Eu- ; i ropean waters are at a minimum. Only one battleship—the Utah —is | in European waters and she is far : away at Cherbourg. Seven destroy- | ers, one station ship and two little : submarine chasers constitute the to- I tai naval force of this government within reaching distance of the j scene of trouble. No Force to Protect Property. These vessels carry no landing j forces of marines, to protect prop erty. A small force of marines sta . tioned as a consular guard at C.on ( stantinople and Smyrna is the ex- ■ tgnt of American land forces. In addition to the lives of moj'e ■ than 5000 Americans, much vajtiable American property is endangered/ i : by the present uprising. -j I Among the- interests Uncle Sam must safeguard is the welfare of the ■ representatives of American Relief > Administration, the Near East Relief, i Roberts college, Constantinople col ; j lege, the American Girl’s College, Red Crdss, American Foreign Trade ■ corporation, Shipping Board, Stan . dard Oil company, American Tobae- I eo company, and the Guarantee , I rust company, which has a branch . there, and many others.
