ALL FRANCE TRUSTS
IN NEW ARMY HEAD
Nation Inspired With Conf
dence in Leadership of
Foch and Clemenceau

Paris, April @.--'rhe appointment of
General F'ocl was thus announced in a
French communique:
Tho British press announces that
General Foch has been appointed com.
mlnder-in-chcr on the western front.
The fact is that with a view 70 meeting
tho present situation the French and
British Governments. in agreement with
the higher command, have intrusted
General Foch with the task of co-or-
dinating the action Of the Allied troops
on the western front"
News Of the appointment had been
known in Paris for some days, but. an
nouncemcut was stopped by the French
censor The appointments results largely
from Premier Clemenceau's active con.
ycrsation with the French and British
higher command. This step had re-
markablc effect OH the confidence with
which the French regard the situation !;
not thaa they distrust the qualities of
leadership Of either Petain or Haig, but
French opinion is unanimous in seeing
the necessity of having one army and
one leader i'm these critical moments.
II is incorrect to state thac foch has
become generalissimo i'm the full, per-
mancnt sense Of that word. General
Foch represents French staff science car
ried to its highest degree of achieve
ment
The French have appreciated the po-
litical difficulties which stood in the way
of this accomplishment in England ana

France The latter objection can GER
tainly not be accepted now as valid.

Return Loads Bureau
AdODtS Truck Schedule

The executive committee of the
return loads bureau held an impor-
tant meeting on Thursday, at which
schedule for truck hauling within
radius Iof 90 miles of Omaha was
discussed at length and finally
adopted. The , committee en-
deavored to establish a schedule
that will enable the truck operator
to make fair profit on the service
rendered and at the same time not
be so high that the country mer-
chant cannot afford to route his
merchandise by auto truck.
The rate will necessarily be high
er than by railroad, but the country
merchant will be relieved of the
carriage at his end of the line, be-
cause the motor truck will deliver
his goods at his place Of business,
whereas, if he ships by rail he must
haul the goods from the railroad to
his store. He will usually get more
prompt service by auto truck from
Omaha than by railroad, particu-
larly under the present congested
conditions Of transportation.

"The Cadillac company is turning
almost its entire output over to the

Hansen. Things are at top pro-
duction and we were especially
surprised to see the number of wo-
men workers, receiving high wages,

we saw, them making caterpillar

have let yourself in for visits for
charming and persuasive statesmen

to make it run faster, slower, easier
and cheaper. And there are 322 de-

However, there's one contrivance,
not especially for this make of car
that is guaranteed to save half of
the gasoline bill and to make it
