Paris, April 1.-The French gOVs
ernment has decided to accede to the
desire expressed by General Pershing
in the name of the United States goV-
ernment," says an official note deal+
ing with the operation of American
troops with the French and British.

With the American Army in France,
April AL the American troops have
been turned over to the allies for such
use as they see fit to make of them.
American troops may soon be fighting
side by side with their British and
French allies in the battle which IS
raging in northern France.
It is enough to say that great activ-
ity of many sorts is in progress in the
entire American zone. Miles of motor
trucks loaded with Americans have
passed through the towns, some going
in one direction, some in another.
Yankee Troops Sing.
Through a driving rain the motor
trucks ploWed their way along muddy
roads, the Americans singing. Many
Of the trucks had American flags fas-
tened to their tailboards.
On other roads mile after mile or
marching Americans splashed through
the mud, which came over their
ankles The horses were steaming
from the work they had to do.
All the men are working as hard as
possible, with the realization that they
are to be of service in the comOn
cause and used in the present conflict.
News Thrills Washington.
Washington, April 1.-The fOregO~

the fighting lines to take places be-
side their hard-pressed British and
French allies sent q thrill throughout
the national capital.
The sending of General PerShing'S
fighting troops to places in the Brit
French line has been expected by
military experts to follow the creation
of unified command under the
French chief of staff, General FOch,
and General Pershing's formal offer
of all the available American re-
sources.

ABLE ADDRESS BY GOV. HANLEY

Frank Hanley, former governor of
Indiana, gave the closing address in the
dry campaign in Mineral Point, in the
Municipal Theatre on Sunday afternoon.

who has the interests Of the country at
heart. He said that the fight for dry
nation has only begun, and that it will
end in victory for those who oppose the
liquor traffic.

CLEAN UP MINERAL POIN I

Clean up the town. This is not slang.
Declare war on filth, dirt, and rubbish.
People are often judged by the clothes
they wear, until known for their true
worth or unworthiness.
A stranger will always judge town
by it's looks. Dirty streets, alleys and
yards full of rubbish, and fence and
building corners full of weeds indicate a
lax, slovenly citizenship and great lack
of home pride.
Now is the time to put on the muni-
cipal spring dress, now the time to
clean up the winters accumulation of
fire ana disease germ breeding rubbish
and debris, wherever found, in base
ments, attics, closets, yards, area ways,
sheds and barns.
927p, some city councils have already
decided on spring clean up, and to
remove ashes and rubbish, placed on
the street sides, at public expense.
Let there be clean up campaign
along this line in Mineral Point, desig
mating the first week in May as Clean
Up Week.
A clean town means health, it means
saving of property from fire, it means
saving of lives from the ravages of
disease and fire, it means dollars and
cents, it means satisfaction with your
surroundings.
Let the house and shop keepers thor
oughly clean up all rubbish in and on
their respective premises.
Let health officers, fire chiefs,
women's clubs, and other civic bodies
aid IN planning and carrying ont this
clean. up work.
Let the school children be organized
as clean-u up squads.
Let everybody work and boost for a
clean town.
Use caution in burning leaves and
rubbish. Too many careless children
are burned at such fires, and often
such fires, left unattended, spread to
buildings and destroy them.
This is no time for needless sacrifice
Of life or property through preVentable
fires or diseases. Such sacrifices must
be made across the seas, combating
liquid fire, poisonous gases and disease
germs of rampant autOcracy.
When your back yard is cleaned up,
spade it up to it's every corner, and
raise much needed food instead of un
slightly weeds.
Replacing dry, moss covered shingle
roofs and defective chimney tops, clos
ing up needless wall openings. using
paint literally, and tilling and beau
tifying your home grounds and build
ings, will help to make a city beautiful
and safe.
Let there be no civic slackers.
This is your home town, so work and
help to make it the best and cleanest
town in the state.
Cleanup, paint up, spade up, and
plant food, plant manhood, plant civic
pride, secure safety.
You try it, it is catching.

New Rules Adopted
Effective AT Once

This newspaper has always con-
tributed literally to everything that
has come up. We have made cash
donations to every movement inau-
gurated in the city. Especially has
this been true of all patriotic move
ments. Our space is the same to US
as flour and sugar is to your grocery
man. Our people have no more right
to expect US to give ouhspace than
they have to expect the groceryman
to give his flour and sugar. We have
been liberal, considering our limited
means, and for this reason we are
forced to adopt certain rules here.
after by which we will be enabled to
realize something for the space in
our newspaper, and this applies to
both The Daily and weekly Sun.
In the future we will make
charge of lc word for all notecis
calling attention to entertainments,
ice cream suppers, district meetings,
school entertainments, etc. With the
increased expenses falling upon us
daily, this step has been absolutely
necessary. The rate announced is d
most reasonable one, and by counting
the words in the notice before it is
sent to the office you can tell lust
what it will cost.
We will also be forced to adopt
the cash in advance rule on this class
of work, as it would be unsatisfac-
tory to have to open up accounts for
such small amounts.
We hope that we have made ii
clear to everyone and that we may
not be embarrassed or be forced to
embarrass anyone hereafter by de-
handing pay for these notices that
should have been paid for all these
years.

EAGER TO GET AT 1T.

The determination of the American people to throw
the nations full power into the struggle in order to
bring the war to an end speedily possible is re-

the midsummer vacation and proceed at once with con-
sderaton Of the new seective draft bill. Leaders Of

Scores Attend Impressive Services
at First Presbyterian Church.
City Plunged in Grief.

BRISTOL, Aug. 15.-Funeral SER
vices for N. B. Remine, prominent
Journalist and secretary Of the Bris-
toll Board of Trade, who died Tues
day morning at his home here, were
conducted from the First Presby-
terrain church yesterday afternoon at
5 o'clock, by the pastor, DR.. c. c..
Carson. A large number of people
were present at the impressive SER
vices to pay their last respects to the
memory of their late friend and fell
low citizen.
The pall-bearers were Jno. H.
Caldwell, R. M. Crumley, Sam L.
King, E. W. King, H. H.. Haynes
and w. B. st. John. The flower
bearers were A. ]. Roller, S. G. KEEL
Ter, Matt st. John, Jno. A. Mahoney,
j. W. Norvell and W. V. Nuckolls.
DR.. Carson paid high tribute to
the career Of the deceased and point
ed to those qualities and ideals of
his life which distinguished him as
citizen of the highest character and
as a husband and father of faithful
love and devotion, who at all times
felt deep sense of responsibility
for the best interests Of his family
and friends and for the betterment
and uplifting Of the entire community
in which he lived.
A mixed quartette with piano ac-
compartment rendered most beauti-
fully "Going Down the Valley" and
other selections and DR.. Carson read
impressively the 23rd Psalm, which
he said was particularly appealing to
the deceased. He also read excerpts
from articles concerning his useful
life, and one especially from the pen
of the deceased, written while in an
eastern hospital, bore evidence of
the keen intelligence and high char
acter Of the man. "In the passing of
N. B. Remine," he said, "the city has
lost a useful and leading citizen and
this entire community has indeed
suffered an irreparable loss" 1
Many beautiful floral tributes indi-
Gated the esteem in which the de-
ceased was held. Following the SER
vices, the body was inferred in East
Hill cemetery.

Expressions of deep regret over
Mr.. Remine's death are heard on ev-

In union there is strength You may have heard that
before 1t is being well illustrated by the allied
tons in France The plan Of placing all the armies I'M
der head doubtless is irritating to ambitious
military men, but it is bringing the answer The vast
armies move as one; Marshal FOch them he has
need and if he is permitted to retain this command he
will make the war shorter by many months than it will
be if the armies independently Of each other
United we stand and cannot be downed Divided we
might be able to stand but it would be dangerous to try
the experiment. Why try it? There is glory enough
go around and though but FOch gets glory
out of the war; STILL to win it is the greatest thing
We might have preferred that the supreme command
should have fallen to of this country had that
been possible-which it wasn't England might have
preferred that General Hag should have had the glory
but when these two great countries put aside ambition
and united with France under the leadership of General
FOch then the doom of the Hun was settled They cannot
be defeated.
