While the phrase "a little bit" is so
easy for native English speaking per-
sons to pronounce that it would seem
to make weak test for sobriety, it
has been picked out from all other
tongue twisters by Prof. Walter Ripp.
man of the University of London for
foreigners to practise on. Anyone
who can say "a little bit" correctly
has nothing else to fear In pronounc-
ing English, Prof. Rippman has told
the students from some eighteen
foreign countries who are at the uni
versity to take the special summer
course of lectures arranged for their
benefit. The beginner in English
usually gets no closer to "a little bit"
than ga leel beet" or "a leet bid"
But when he does master it, the
classic "prunes, prisms and persim-
mons" and picked peck Of picked
peppers" come comparatively easy.

United states to keep clear OF en-
tanglements. II Japan, under the
guise of, assisting England, should, by
the opportunity such assistance would
afford. proceed to establish herself in
China in way that would threaten

nations now at war among themselves

TWENTIETH CENTURY civiLi-
ZATiON

There is war in Germany, IN
Belgium, in France, in Austria, in
Russia, In Servia, in Mexico and in
Haiti. England is at war, Portugal
is at war, Japan is next door to war
and Italy is apt to be drawn into the
fray. Holland Is mobilfzing in ex.
pectation Of war, Denmark, Sweden
and Norway are fearful lest they be
dragged from their position of neu-
trality, and the Swiss army is pre-.
pairing to preserve neutrality. Canada,
Australia, India, and the numerous
British colonies Of the world are max,
ing warlike preparations to aid the
mother country. The countries OF
South America pass from one revolu-
ton to another so quickly that it is
hard to keep track Of the trend OF
events, and China has internal wars
in progress all the time.
This is the boosted civilization OF
the twentieth century.
