FRENCH SEE HUNS
DEFEAT AT REIMS
AS GOOD AUGURY

Paris, June 20.-The sanguinary
defeat suffered by the Germans be-
fore Reims is pointed to by the
morning newspapers as an excel
lent augury for the allies in the OPP
erations TO come. The military ex-
perts. the Havas Agency notes, are
displaying particular satisfaction
over the outcome, regarding it as
further proof Of the exhaustion of
the crown princes army, which IS
showing itself incapable Of pro-
longed efforts.
The commentators, however, do
not seek to minimize the ability
displayed by the defenders, and
point particularly to the remark
able artillery barrage, the notable
resistance of the infantry, and the
irresistible counter attacks of the
colonial troops under General Gou-
raud.
Never did so important an at
tack fail so completely" the Petit
journal remarks.

John E. Morgan, formerly Of Mo-
line, but listed in the casualty list
as from Carthage, Ill, has died Of
wounds received in action. 1t is
thought that he probably made the

While living in Moline Morgan
was employed at the Republic Iron
& Steel company, where for a time
he was night superintendent. Two
months after the United States en-
tered the war he enlisted at the
local marine corps recruiting office
and after a period of training in
this country was sent overseas.

NEW PLAN WOULD
CUT DOWN PRICE
OF ICE HE SAYS

Increase in cost Of labor and the
expense Of maintaining horses en-
tirely justifies the raise in price Of
90 cents a thousand pounds, states
J. P. Pearson. president OF the Mo
line Consumers company. He goes
on TO say that he is willing to dis
pose of all his teams and sell ice
from his platform at 81 a thousand
pounds. Another of his plans is to
retain a few teams. delivering only
10 those who cannot call for their
ice Under this system those de-
liveTed TO would be charged the
present price of SIS and those OBJ
tanning the product at the platform
$3.50. The maintaining of the few
teams under this plan would cause
the increase of so cents at the plat
form, he states. Other ice concerns
probably Will agree to follow the
same plan. says Mr.. Pearson.
