FRANCE DEMANDS
STRICT NEUTRALITY
Orders Her Agents to Seek to Secure
Retirement of Turks from
Neutral Zone.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Paris = France stands firmly by her
decision, taken with England and Italy
last Saturday, to insist upon Turkish
recognition of the neutrality Of the
zones, of the straits and while there is
no question at the moment of military
force to back up this attitude the
French government will exert it's full
est influence to induce the Turks to
withdraw.
This was the view in official circles
today, following the British demand
for the retirement of the Turkish ma
tionalists from the Chanak area.
France does not take as critical a
view of the situation as does Great
Britain, the belief being expressed that
strained relations between the Turks
and the British in the Chanak zone
can be settled without recourse to arm
ed conflict. There is no effort how
ever, to minimize the serious posi-
bilities of the present developments
and the government has telegraphed
its representatives in the Near East
to use the full force Of French in
fluence upon Mustapha Renal Pasha
in order to affect immediate evacua-
ton of the invaded zone.

available any time the county board
sees fit to draw on it. Meantime nice
little sum is being earned every month

TO BUY KENOSHA HOME
Shows Faith in Kenosha by
Sending Word that He Will
Locate Home Here.

to welcome its new city manager, C.
M. Osborn, sooner than was at first
anticipated. Word received this
morning by w. H. Afford president
of the city council from the prospect
i've 'big boss of Keposha' brought the
good news that the latter had received
his release from the duties Of city
manager of East Cleveland in time
to allow him to report in Kenosha
for duty on October 9Th, instead of the
18th as he had at first calculated
The council has everything in readi-
ness for him to enter the former
mayors office and assume the duties
of his new position. His advent in
Kenosha will be an advent of real in
terest throughout all Wisconsin as it
will mark the opening of the first reg.
ular city manager form of government
in the Badger state.
To Buy Home Here.
The, word from City Manager Os-
born also declared that he intended
to come to Kenosha to make his home
and that upon reaching Kenosha one
of his first personal interests would
be to purchase home in this city.
His family will come to Kenosha with
him on or about the 9th.
"The fact that the new city man
ager plans to buy home here i'm
mediately is significant" declared
President Afford in discussing the
note. at means that he has conf
dence in his own ability to direct the
affairs of tire city and in the city man
ager form of government. 1t has con-
firmed the city council in their belief

the coming of the new city manager,

disguise that we have not been able
to find the man we wanted until sew
eral months have passed." declared
one of the commissioners. at has
made it imperative that the five COM
missioners study the situation for
themselves and we have done this.
During this half year of application
we have learned many things that will
be of value to US in supervising the
work of the city manager. There
has been in Kenosha, as in many 9TH
er cities, much waste and we now
know where much of this waste lay.
81 believe we are now on the way te
make Kenosha the big splendid city
that it should be. We are starting on
a clean page, letting bygones be by
cones. Our new city manager will
start his work here with that under
standing. Our intention is and the
city manager will be, SC instructed, to
give Kenosha the best, and start it on
the lines of the best development and
yet have an economic administration.
"But five men cannot do much IN.
less the city lends it's support. We
are here not as dictators but as rep
resentatives of the people. The OPP
position is anxious to make this adj
ministration fail. We have seen this
already It is really up to the people
to make this administration, their adj
ministration, a success"
