MILNER INDORSES UNITY
British Minister Says Foch's Value
Is Recognized by All
Nations

Paris, April 2O.-Viscount Miner,
British Minister of War, in an interview
in the Temps, said; ITO manifest our
sentiments toward France we would do
nothing more significant than to place
our forces under the authority of
French commander
I'VE have not waited until today,
either to understand the utility of a
single command or to recognize General
Foch's value" he added. Every coali-
ton has its weakness, but do not think
that there is an example in history of
an alliance carried out with so much
loyalty and devotion as ours. Now the
hour has come to be more united than
ever and we are and will remain So"
Visoount Milner said the Importance
OF Germany's aim in this great battle
may be measured by the violence of its
blow.
our fighters are worthy of the trial
they are facing" he said. Attacked by
divisions far more numerous than ours,
they make up for lack of numbers by
the courage with which they repulse
their assailants."

The opening of the cotton market was
firm this morning, with prices to %
points higher on cold weather in the
Southwest and the probability that no
cotton price fixing will be attempted
in Congress and quite general covering.
Later the tone improved further in
sympathy with strength at New Orleans
on buying from that quarter and fur
ther support from trade interests. At
the end Of the first fifteen minutes
prices were about 40 points higher than
last nights close.
Influences, in the main. were con-
1cting, but on the whole probably Of
a less bearish average than recently.
The news from the western battle fronr
was looked upon as better Weekly
statistics made the most favorable show
ing from bullish standpoint in many

big losses for the period, while takings
by spinners were large.

FOUNTAIN REMOVED
FROM WEST MAIN STREET

The city council committee appoint
ed to select a new site for the Lewis
drinking fountain decided that it be
removed from it's present place to
more suitable place to be decided later.
This committees report was adopted
after long discussion. All the alder
men representing the west side con-
stituents opposed the move of adopt
ing this report. "NOw that we have
decorated the Indian with red lights
that can be seen blocks away at night
and thus doing away with all danger,
we ought to keep the fountain where
it is" Alderman Otto Bayer said.
Alderman Beuhaus followed up by
saying that the council did not author
ize the installing of the red lights on
the fountain, Alderman Cebell, one of
the members on the committee, and
Mayor Mulberger were in favor of re-
moving the fountain and each cited
examples where their cars almost ran
down children at the corner a num-
Der of years ago.
about three years ago 1 was just
driving past the Fountain the mayor
said, when a little tot started to run
back to the sidewalk from the drink
ing fountain and I just missed killing
her" The mayor said that if the foun-
tain were left where it is, that some
one would be killed at that point
eventually.
The aldermen who are in favor of
the removal say that if only the drink
ing parts on the structure were re-
moved they would be perfectly salts
| fed to leave it remain where it is.
i Sealer Edward Gnatzig addressed the
council members on the project Of
bringing a United States employment
service office to this city. He said
that he would consent to be placed as
the superintendent, necessitating \the
removal of his present office in the
city hall to ground floor office,
where he claims better service could
be rendered as a sealer.
