TURKSARE GIVEN
ALTERNATIVE OF
QUITTING EUROPE
Allies in Blunt Ultima
turn Demand Accept
ance of Terms

LONDON, July 17-(By Associat-
ed Press "A threat to drive the Turk
from Europe "once and for ALL" is
contained in the Allied reply to the
Turkish objections to the peace treaty
made public here today. Such action
might follow Turkeys refusal to sign
the treaty on her failure to give it
effect the reply states.
The time limit for Turkey to make
known her decision expires at mid
night, July 27.
The Allies have arranged to deliv-
er this reply, which takes the form of
an ultimatum, to the Turkish peace
delegation in Paris this afternoon.
The Turks are informed that they
must signify their willingness to sign
the peace treaty within ten days fail
ing which 'the Allied powers will
take such action as they may consider
necessary in the circumstances"
The Allies made some minor modi-
fications in the treaty after the Turks
had presented their protests, but it is
understood that these notifications
do not materially affect the original
draft.
The Allied reply is couched IN the
bluntest language, and says:
IF the Turkish government refuses
to sign the peace, still more if it
finds itself unable to re establish its
authority in Anatolia or give effect
to the treaty the Allies in accord
ance with the terms of the treaty,
may be driven to reconsider this ar
rangement by eiecting the Turks
from Europe once and for all"

Life On Cup Chaser Just One
Wild Careen After Another

over toward port at an angle that
seemed perilously close to As de-
grees.
In the cabin even a stranger sight
met the eye. Table-tops and lamps
arranged on the gravity system list
ed with the boat, yet kept level. To
the uninitiated the first glance at the
interior was as much of shock as
that in a maze where concave or con-
vex mirrors play pranks with ones
physique.
Suddenly the yacht came about.
Headsails which had been run up
since the start tapped in the breeze.
Indeed, the yacht seemed very like
bulldog shaking rag in his teeth.
AS little waves slapped the sloop's
bows, sailors crouching at the bow
working on tackle were drenched. 1t
was not unlike men trying to tie
a pretty bowknot under shower.
Outside the Shamrock met the
Shamrock w, which had been tow
ed out by tug. AS the two craft,
shaking out more canvas, chased each
other about, a warning flag was rals-
ed aboard the steam yacht Victoria,
Sir Thomas flagship. The apparent
lv aimless chase became even more
frantic as the rival shippers manouev-
red for the start. 1t was like moth
ing so much as a game OF tag.
Then the signal to start was gwen;
AS the Shamrock came about and
orders were given to break out the
iibtopsaiL, the crew which had even
before been milling around the de K
increased their seeming efforts to
create a scene of confusion. A man
would give a tug at one rope and
then go galloping forward to twitch
another, while his mate came tear
ing aft on the other side of the craft
Everyone seemed to be training for
sprints and the deck was mass OF
writhing ropes. Meanwhile orders
came like machine gun bullets.
But order came o1t OF seeming
chaos. AS the two craft crossed the

work for the moment done, dropped

clung to the rail-a barre almost
three inches high. Its companion
piece on the other side was later
awash.
For the moment there was g
chance to look around. 1t was q

Leslie was done by Bass, Sumerford
and r. johnson. The Leslie team Sc
cured IL hits for eighteen bases.
Sumerford, at third, made his first
error in % chances during this game.
Seven strike-outs were secured by
Clark ard three by Holland of the
Bronwood team. The score:

GAMES SET FOR
TUE, ,THURS.,AND
SATURDAY HERE
Schedule Follows Stag
ing of Brilliant 10
Contest Here

rolIoWlng Ine playing OF What
many old fans said was as interest
ing game of baseball as ever seen
by them on any field, professional
or amateur, played between Ameri-
Gus and Cordele at the playground
diamond Friday afternoon, in which
Americus won by the score of 10
in the last half of the ninth inning,
announcement was made yesterday
by Manager Alton Cogdell, of the
Americus team, that the same two
teams would meet every day this
week, alternating between Cordele
and Americas. The teams will play
in Cordele Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, and in Americas Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday.
And you can say" said Manager
Cogdell, "that there will be seats
erected in time for Tuesdays game
here"
The Americas team was strength
ened Friday by the presence in the
lineup of several Soluther Field
regular players. Manager Cogdell
is arranging for these men to play
with the Americas team regularly
for the present, and they will be in
the lineup this week. 1t is his in
tention, and that of the fans who are
active in developing a team here,
that Americas be given the best pos
sible brand of baseball at limited ex-
pense.
81 am rather newcomer here, !"
said Manager Cogdell yesterday,
''and | don't know all of the base
ball material here by any means. The
lineup Friday was the best we were
able to devise and, fortunately, we
saw good game. would like to
get in touch with any local men who
have had baseball experience, as we
want to make the team just as
strong as possible. We want to sat
isfy everybody as nearly as possible,
and believe that we can come nearer
doing that by putting up good
brand of baseball than by any other
way. We need the whole-hearted
support and cooperation of every
lover of the game in this community.
With them all pulling for only one
object-high class baseball-we will
have high class sport and amusement
here during the season."
This week is expected to see a
high revival of the old-time inter
city baseball rivalry, with the stag
ing of a week of games between
these two evenly matched teams. A
large number of fans will accompany
the Americus team to Cordele Mon
day, and an equally large aggrega-
ton of Cordele rooters is expected
to come here Tuesday.
The arrangements for the imme-
diate erection of temporary grand
stand or bleaehers at the playground
were under way Saturday, and
Manager Cogdell stated that seats
would be available in time for the
Tuesday game.

SHIPS SIRENS SOUND CODES
Whistle Blasts Give All Information
Necessary to All Whom II
May Concern.

AS ships pass In and out of port
their sirens sound a code which en-
ables all fiat is necessary to be said
to all whom 1t may concern. Two tug
boats, one concealed from the other
by the vessel they are taking to her
berth will rattle away, one telling
the other what to do and perhaps each
In turn pleading with the pilot on the
liners bridge to stop his engines, to
go ahead or astern, or do half a
dozen things.
Sirens of the big shipping liners
mostly have individual notes, and they
have calls of their own when nearing
port. The Cunarder announces her
approach by three long blasts, the
White Star and Allan liner by three,
Dominion four, while Leylands vessels
run to six sounded In three twos, with
a marked interval between each pair.
Boats of the African line have a
threefold call, one long and two short ;
JOhnsons are quite garrulous with
eight. Alexandra tugs five, and Race
tugs two long and two short, while
the Cock boats adhere to their old for
mula of Cock-a dOOdle-doo.

But America is still more French

they suggest cooler blood and less
