SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-(P)- Speaking last night at a banquet rendered at the Presidio, General Hunter Liggett, the newly appointed commander of the western depart d term of active service in France, spoke in highly laudatory terms of all branches of the military service on foreign soil during the late war. The Americans, he said, greatly dis tinguished themselves despite the many and various handicaps they suf- fered by being in a foreign land and so far away from home, further stat ing that the American fighting ma chine was undoubtedly the best of all which made their appearance on the battelfields of Europe during the late war.
 To General John J. Pershing, Gen. eral Liggett paid most glowing tribute. Black Jack" as he fondly called his superior, was the idol of every soldier of the American Ex- peditionary forces. He compared the development of Pershing as a leader of men to the development of the gigantic tank which first made it's appearance on the battlefields of France, saying that both had been tried for the first time in the late war and not found wanting, Pershing having developed into truly great soldier and the tank into one of the most terrible instruments of modern warfare.
 Great praise for the doughboys of the United States army also flowed from the lips of General Liggett as he talked. In fact he said that not only was the army collectively th| best put into France by any nation but also the best individually.

and is being deluged with tele-
grams asking that he do not sign
It.
The whole Milling Trust is
working on the job and the small
merchants and business men who
so confidingly contributed to the
expenses Of fighting the Nonpar-
tisan League are beginning to
realise that they have been used
as mere pawns in game Of which
they are not the benefactors.
The Mill bill, it will be remem-
bered, was introduced by the Lea
que in order to make the State
Elevator a paying proposition and
to avoid having the elevator
stand as a monument to the Elm

Nc KAY CUSTER
FALLS Down

Amongst the futile and child
ish things done at a session
where such activities were the
normal order of the day, perhaps
the persecution of Senator Nc
Kay stands out in bold promi-
hence.
Mckay earned the hatred of
the gang by his unflinching at
tacks upon the exploiters and
they banded themselves together
to vote against everything he in
troduced; good, bad and indiffer-
ent, on general principals. The
senator out-gencraled them sever
al times, in one case calling upon
them to appoint a committee to
have United States flag hung
in the senate chamber as at the
time there was not one there.
They did not vote against his
proposal that time.
The worst deal they tried to
hand him however, was calling
for an investigation into this war
record, so that they might find
something upon which to pin an
excuse for his expulsion from
the senate. The investi cation
committee found what everybody
knew already, that the charges
brought against the senator were
unfounded, as all such political
"Disloyal" allegations are. The
instigators of the charge, accom-
plished nothing beyond raising
Mckay in the estimation of the
public and lowering themselves.

The elevator bill was in the ma

The League is alive to this how

the complete mill-elevator is
erected at Great Falls and wher-
ever else such an institution is
needed in the state. The milling

Business men of Great Falls and

Business men Of Great Falls and
vicinity have been greatly stirred
over the action Of their represen-
tatives at Helena in voting against
the mill-elevator. This construc-
ton work would have meant
nearly a million dollars spent in
wages and construction and at
this time when business is slack
would have been god-send to
them.
This should wake them up to
the rea meaning of the various or
carnations to which they SUBJ
scribed so generously and let US
hope that that will learn a les
son bought is such a costly man
ner. It is said that they subscrib-
ed $4,000 to the campaign funds
Of the Loyalty League and GER
tainly they fought most bitterly
to defeat the Nonpartisan League
nominees at the last election,
who's election would have meant
SO much to the industry Of Great
Falls.
