BRITISH Chief SENDS
ULT|NATUN TO TURKS
English Forces Throwing Up En-
trenchments and Preparing
to Fight
BRITISH ARE CONFIDENT
Officers Claim They/Can Keep Enemy
Out Of Constantinople

Constantinople, Sept. 26.-(By the
Associated Press. 1.-The British Cen
eral Sir Charles Harrington, comman-
der-ln-chicf of the Allied forces hore
has ordered the Turks out of the neu-
tral zone around the Dardanelles. He
has sent an ultimatum to Mustapha
Kemal Pasha at Smyrna, allowing
forty-eight hours for withdrawal of
the Nationalist cavalry detachments
which have occupied Kun Kaleh, at
the entrance to the Dardanelles, as
we'll as Eren Keur, to the southwest
of Chanak and Bigha.
This action was taken by Gen. Har-
rington after several requests had
been made by the British commanders
in the areas mentioned that the Tur-
kish forces Withdraw, and after the
Turks had begun to entrench. The
British troops are throwing up en-
trenchmcnts and making every pre-
paration for both defensive and Of
fensivc movements if that becomes
necessary.
Civilians Leaving
Yesterday it was announced that
the wives and families of the Allied
authorities would remain in Constan-
tlnople but today some of them had
been sent out Of the city and others
were preparing to depart. Precau-
tions to prevent disorder have been re-
doubled but some relief is felt over the
arrival at Chanak Of British reinforce
ments and the announcement that ad-
ditional naval units were on the way
to Constantinople from Malta.
The statement by Major, Gen.
| Maurice the British military expert
who is usually a severe critic, that
the British forces would hold Chanak,
the key position of the Dardanclles,
against any Nationalist attempt is
highly encouraging and accepted here
as voicinC the opinion of the officers
in general.
owe are prepared" he said. "We
can prevent the Turk from cross
ing the straits and invading Thrace
and can SUCCESSFULLY keep him out
of Constantinople."

SHORTAGE IS CHARGED

Walterboro, s. c., Sept. 28.-The
grand jury this afternoon found a
true bill against w. B. Ackerman,
sheriff of Colleton county, charged
with malfeasance in office: 1t is al
legged that sheriff is short $2,3O7.78 in
his accounts. The alleged shortage
was reported as result of recent
audit Of the books Of all county off,
cials by expert accountants. The
amount involved is said to be involved

Presentment of Grand Jury

Fall term of court, 1922.
To his Honor, j. W. Devore, Presid-
ing Judge:
We have reported on all indictments
handed us by the Solicitor.
The committee on schools report
that the schools in the County are
about $15,000.00 behind on account of
non-collection Of taxes. All of the
ual and spirit of optimism is said
to prevail among the school officials.
The Chain gang committee has in
spected both gangs and report the
camps in a good sanitary condition
and we'll kept. The prisoners are
we'll clothed and only one was sick at
the time of the committees visit.
It Is, Of course. impossible for our
committee on Finance to make a COM
plete audit Of the books Of the various
officers of the County: We have ex-
amined the books Of the Magistrates
quired into the condition of the Of
ficers Of the Treasurer, Auditor, Sup
erintendent of Education and Super
visor. We are informed that the
books Of each Of these officers have
been audited by State Official and
found correct.
Our Jail committee reports that the
repairs recommended at former
term of court are now being made
and when these repairs are complet-
ed, we can see no reason why the Jail
should not be kept in good sanitary
condition. We recommend that as
soon as the present repairs are COM
pleted, that the iail be screened
against flies and mosquitoes.
We find that there is practically no
bed covering at all for the use of
prisoners this winter and we recon-
mend that sufficient supply Of blan-
kets be purchased at once.
We thank your honor and court Of
ficials for all courtesies extended to
G. r. Sprott,
Foreman.

Turks Entrenchinp

Constantinople, Sept 26.-(By the
Associated Press) 1T is reported
that the Turkish Nationalist troops
are entrenching in the neutral zone of
the Dardanelles.
The Turks declare they will hold
their present position. Kemalat
forces also occupied the town Of
Bigha. British representations against
this were not needed.
The region from Pandik to va
rinje, along the Anatolian Railway,
has been proclaimed zone Of opera
tions by the British. The civilian pop
ulation of the villages within the zone
have been ordered to leave, and the
British are digging three lines of
trenches.
Anxiety Expressed ,
London, Sept. 26.-r(By the Asso-
icated Press )-Anxiety is renewed
owing to the evident reluctance Of
the Kemalistic officers to order the
withdrawal of the Turkish cavalry
from the Chanak zone in the Dardane-
lies. Instead Of withdrawing, another
detachment Of 1000 has crossed the
border.
1t is stated in extenuation that these
movements ordered before receipt OF
the Allied joint note and the British
authorities therefore are making
every prudent allowance for the diff
ficulties Of communication and the
possibility that Mustapha Kema is
not directly responsible for the re-
fusal of the local commanders to or
der retireemnt. Gen. Harrington,
British commander of the Allied forces
in Constantinople, has stipulated
time limit of forty-eight hours for
withdrawal but allows the period to
date from the receipt of his wireless
dispatch.
No formal cabinet councils are
being held here, but the ministers
and defense experts are meeting
daily at the colonial office, dealing
with military questions and arrange
ments for moving refugees from
Smyrna.
