Commemorate Peace
Treaty With aiming
of Plenipotentidries

London. Eng. Aug. S.-One OF the
most Interesting features OF the prepar-
lions for the celebration. at the end OF
the year, OF the close Of the centenary
OF peace between Great Britain and the
United States, is an oil painting OF the
plenipotentiaries who concluded the
treaty Of Client. on December 4, 1914.
This undertaking in group pOrtraiture
has been placed in the hands OF Amedee
Forester. the AnglO-French painter.
whose work. especially as an illustrator
in black and white. is well known.
The figures OF the plenipotentiaries
have been painted from eNtant pOr-
traits in this country and America, with
the exception OF the figure OF William
Adams one OF the British representa-
tives. who in his lifetime resolutely re-
fused to have his portrait painted The
penalty OF that Obstinacy is that in,
this historical painting Mr.. Adams is
relegated TO a shaded corner IN the
background. where he might be any
body. The interior in which the pleni-
potentiaries stand is that Of the old
Cartusfon convent at Client in which
the treaty was signed

Say a Little Biz

London. Eng, Aug. S.-While the
phrase, "a little bit" is so easy for
native English speaking persons to
pronounce that It would seem to make
a weak test for sobriety, IT has been
picked out from all other tongue
twisters by Prof. Walter Rippman Of
the University Of London for foreign
ers TO practice on. ANY one who can
say "a little bit" correctly has nothing
else to fear in pronOuncing English,
Prof Rippman has told the students
for some IS foreign countries who are
here 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 "a
leel beet" or "a Ieet bid" But when
he does master 1t, the classic "prunes,
prisms and persimmons" and picked a

paratively easy.

That many tough looking men are

through Missoula. All day yesterday
the ticket venders were forced to face
men that would have made them
nervous had they been met in the mid
die of dark and lonely road
The agents are at a loss to explain
this exodus of men. The rough look
ing men are not tramps, in the rail-
road sense of that word, because they
all have money to pay their way and
some OF them offer bills of rather
large value. This class of Butte trav-
elers do not appear to be working
men; that is, they do not appear to
be the kind of men that will stay with
any one job for any length of time.
Where all this tough looking class
of travel is coming from no one seems
to know. They make no explanations

1t has been suggested that these

might attract attention, it is argued
