WHITE CALLED TAFT DOWN
AND TAFT GOT EVEN?
AMUSING REASON FOR THE
RETIREMENT OF ANBASSA-
DOR IS PRINTED IN A PARIS
NEWSPAPER.
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
PARIS, Dec. 3.-Upon the ar
rival here of Robert Bacon, to as
sumo his duties as American am.
bassador to France, a Paris news
paper prints the following anus
ing reason" for the retirement of
Henry s. White from the post as
summed by Bacon:
When White was ambassador
to the court of st. James," the
journal states. ''the man who now
is in the presidential chair at
Washington was only a mere rep
resen,ative in congress"
The American residents of Paris
are glad to hear of this hitherto
undiscovered honor won by Taft
before he emerged into interna-
tional prominence.
The article refers to him as
Congressman Taft" and says
that during his service in the ma
tional legislature he found him
self in London one day.
The congressman" wished 10
attend a gala performance OF the
opera at which the royalty was to
be present. Accordingly he sought
the necessary ticket at the Ameri-
can embassy.
The Congressman" thereupon,
according to the Paris paper, was
informed that his clothes were
not of the sort that would look
we'll at the opera.
1T is then stated that to this
day the slight has rangled in 81
certain large bosom" and that the
offer of a complimentary ticket to
the London zoo" did not in the
least lessen the disappointment.

MORE MINES CLOSED

Including the miners who we're

OF the closing of the Boston

The distressing conditions pre-
vailing among the miners threat
ems to extend to other industries
throughout the state unless i'm
mediate relief from the curtail'
ment of transportation facilities
is forthcoming. The immense
plant OF the Royal FIGURING Mills
of Great Falls was compelled to
suspend operations late yesterday
and it's scores of employees are in
