WILL GIVE WILLARD POTTS
MEMORIAL TO THIS CITY.

Capt. and Mrs. j. +. Stephenson, Of
Canada, who were beneficiaries under
the will of the late Willard Potts,
former Mayor Of Mexico to the ex-H
tent Of $4,000 are arranging to make
win leaving $4,000 for some mem
olfal to the City of Mexico which
would be something Mr.. Potts would
have wanted Mexico to have. They
have been visiting in this city several
weeks.
Mayor ]. W Gallaher has suggested
that the money be left the City Of
Mexico as trustee for sThe Willard
Potts Charity Fund" the income from
which would be used TO pay for a
Social Service nurse to handle the or
5ganized charity Of Mexico.
The money, properly invested,
would bring an income Of from $1,000
to $14O0 year. This would be suf-
ficient to employ community nurse.
Willard Potts was noted for his out
standing interest in charity and es-
pecially organized charity. Nothing
that could be done toward q memorial
for him according to his friends,
would be more gratifying to him thar
such charity fund as his memorial
The people Of Mexico viii be glad
to hear that this plan is being ser.
iously considered. Not only because
it would be fitting memorial but i
would materially advance the charity
work Of the city and make the distri'
button of the city's charity funds
more efficient.

CABINET IS

BERLIN, May ia new German
cabinet has been formed to take the
place Of the cabinet which recently

The new cabinet is regarded as a
makeshift and is not considered rep
resentative. 1t is thought it will last
but short time by many of the lead
ers.
Germany accepting the Allied rep
aration ultimatum means that Berlin
