the firemen.
Several firemen responded by raising
"A ladder against the side OF the build

He had succeeded in lifting Mrs.
Blake through the window. and was
holding her by the dress at her waist.
when he lost his grip and she fell to
the sidewalk. She was unconscious
when picked up.
Meantime a policeman from the
Alexander avenue station. just across
the street, ran up the ladder and car

The fireman who had attempted the
rescue of Mrs. Blake was too unncrved

RATTLESNAKE CLUB
CRITICIZES ACTION

Members of the Rattlesnake
Country club at an adjourned
meeting last night passed rcso-
luton severely criticizing the ac-
ton taken by Deer Lodge in re-
fusing 10 allow Miss Jeanette
Rankin TO speak in that city.
The resolution was introduced hy
+. T. Gross and was passed by Il
small majority after a bitter dis
cussion. The opposition was led
by Mrs. l.. f. Tucker.
The resolution follows:
I'VE have been informed through
the daily press that MAS Jeanette
Rankin. member Of congress from
this state. has been denied tho right
to speak in behalf OF the third
Liberty loan ut Deer Lodge. The
excuse Offered for this denial was.
that she had associated with labor
leaders. We believe this TO he a
serious abridgoment of the right of
free speech that is the very found :
dation upon which our government
rests.
II II be in the power OF a few
men to take the law into their own
hands and constitute themselves "A
judge. jury and cNccutioucr and
who shall say who shall speak and
who shall not, then mob law will
have been enthrcned and our libcr-
ty lost.
we demand Of the proper au-
thoritics that they take legal action
against those who prevented Miss
Rankin from speaking and bring
them before the proper tribunal for
trial and Imprisonment. For in this
way only can true democracy be
made safe in the nation Failure
to do this we will be branded as
hypocrites before the world TAX

Italian Troops to France,

An interesting dispatch tells of the
moving of Italian troops to France.
This would point to one Of two develop
ments. Either the Italian front is in no
particular danger at the present mo-
ment, or else General Foch is calling
every available man to swell the army
that he will hurl at the foe when the
moment for battle arrives. 1t is posi-
bic, however, that the force of Italians
en- route to the French front is com
paratively small.

The above Is very misleading and is
undoubtedly based upon misapprehen-

ganization, city or county official, or
citizen to request a permit for a pa
radc, stating the date on which it Is to
be held and under what auspices or in
connection with what celebration, and
the permit will be issued for the DEM

SOUND BUSINESS METHODS

business concern which can increase it's
turnover $500 per cent, in twelve months,
without radical changes in method, would seem
to be pretty sound organization.
Amid all the expansion of Government activ-
ities due to war; with far-reaching changes in
methods of conducting business, reorganizations,
increase in personnel and addition of wholly new
departments, one big business agency of the
government has not changed at all, except in
magnitude.
That agency is the Bureau of Supplies and
Accounts of the navy, which purchases prac-
tically everything required by the navy except
armor plate, guns and shells. 1t feeds and
clothes the navy, buys its steel, metals, lumber,
textiles, and chemicals, provides transportation
for the navys supplies, Goals its ships, and pays
it's officers and men.
|. During the last year this bureau has been
greatly enlarged by the addition of new officers,
technical experts from civil life, and clerical
workers, but its organization and methods have
fully met all tests of war and have practically
required no change.
Gently declared this great business office of the
navy to be notable for efficiency, well as one
of the biggest business enterprises in the United
States.

The entente allies have great opportunity for
combined diplomatic offensive with view to
explaining to Russia and the Austrian Slavs
what an allied victory will mean for them, in the
opinion of the Daily Express of London. The
newspaper calls upon the allies to translate vague
references to self-determination into concrete
terms and to let their pronouncement appear
above the signature of the United States, as
well as the European allies. "These reflections
are suggested by the present conditions in
russia and Austria" it continues.
