action.

the committee spread the impression
that most of the entertaining would

Colonel Tom McAdams, represent,

committee that the executive would
entertain the visitors at the mansion
on the evening OF Thursday OF the
week of December Sd, and the COM
mittee intimated that most of the rest
OF the entertainment would be done
by the city.

lated. On Tuesday the city Will en-

Friday morning there will be q

Bryan WAS made ambassador TO Eng

some handsome reward from the new

no greater war than the one at pres
