Wledncmlay, Auk. 1. (ieneral Peish-
InK Rave the American expeditionary
force an example of the Htrenuous life
by sweeping thru nearly a dozen vil
lages where United States soldiers are
living In France and visiting nearly
nil training centers which have been
established from America's first great
contribution for the war for democ
racy.
Not Cursory Iiikihm'Moii.
It was not a cursory Inspection. Ho
went Into mlmito lelails all along the
line, questioned private soldiers, com
jiany cooks and various other ruiika as
to how things were going and what,
If nyuthlng, could ho done to Improve
the situation.
The general is also Inspecting vari
ous places suggested for his field
headquarters for ho cxpocts before
very long to remove from Paris near
the troops in training. He will return
to Paris late tomorrow.
At the end of the first duy's inspec
tion General Pershing said:
"Our principal concern Just now, of
course. Is to perfect (lie army organiz
ation. This is a 1lg tusk, hut II Is
moving along smoothly and ill a most
satisfactory manner.
Work Well I'mler i'ay.
"Tlio work at certain ports of dis
embarkation is well stnrted. Rall
road'mutorlal Is coming over as rap
idly aB can be arranged. The progress
wo hnve made thus far with the ns
ulstanco of the French Is a source of
great satisfaction to me. IlllletB and
training ground for men are as well
located as could be expected at this
time of the year when space Is limited
by crops In tho fields.
"After those are moved, we will
have plenty oj space for lodging and
training tho divisions Hint are to
come. Some of the places vhero men
a ro now sleeping are not nil that
could be desired, but this soon will he
remedied by the construction of port
able barracks. Training is progress
ing very well with the assistance of
(ho Kronen."

They are doing remarkably well,
but being plunged Into actual war

have neglected some smaller details
that would seem unimportant to the
uninitiated, but that go a long way
toward establishing anil maintaining
the morale of an army.

ltl'TTK, Mont., Aug. 2. Attorney
Oeneral Ford of Helena and County
Attorney Jackson held n conference
this morning with n view to determ
ining upon a course of action in re
siled to the lynching of Frank II
Little, chairman of the general ex
ecutive hoard of the I. W. W. na
tional organization, who was hanged
by masked men on the outskirts of
this city early yesterday morning. So
far as has been given out, there are
no developments. The police mid
sheriff are completely at sea and
without clews thus far to the iden
tity of the lynchers. Despite the
fact that William Sullivan, counsel
for the Melnl Mine Workers' union,
(leclures he known the identity of five
of the men, Ihe authorities do not
credit the ileclarulion.
Mine union officials agree with
itv and county olticials that no
outbreak, except from possible out
siders not connected with labor trou
hies ill liny way, is likely to occur in
Mu 1 1 u now. .
Two companies of the Second
Montana infantry nre here to main
tain order.
Claims l.yniliem Known.
In a bulletin issued by the Metal
Mine Workers' union today the state
ment is mnde that the names of five
of the lynching party nre known.
Two of these men, it is declared,
"are 'gunmen' mid one is connected
with law euforccment in the city."
The bulletin ndds:
"Threats have already been made
Hint if wo succeed in proving who
committed this crime, wo will never
live lo tell it. We wunt to inform
I hem that three copies of every hit
of information we have are deposited
in Ihreii different places, In he used
in case they succeed in gelling liny
of us. We know already that alibis
were prepared in ndvnnco for every
one of tin murderers, yet we have
evidence thai will break ovcy alibi
eouiplelcly, nnd when we finish, some
very prominent murderers will he
headed for Ihe gallows or Hcer
Lodge."
Lawyer Keeps Secret.
William (!. Sullivan,, lawyer re
tained by the union, who in the past
lias written Ihe union's bulletins and
received pay for Ihe work, would
lint disclose Ihe names today. Sheriff
OMtoiirkc interviewed Sullivan lint
obtained no informalioii from him.
County Attorney Jackson has been
making an earnest effort lo reach
Sullivan willi a view to asking him
lor inl'onnaliiin or other evidence,
bill up lo noon had not located him.
The etninly ultoruev snid, however.
Ihal if Sullivan did not come to
his office in response (o a reiitcst,
an oflicer would he sent for him and
thai steps would be taken to find
out what he knew about the lynching,
if anything. Sheriff O'Uourke said
that he did not believe Sullivan had
any di-fiuite inloiinaliou in respect
lo the idcnlily of Ihe lynchers.

Judge L. S. I'enlz has received the
following letter from his son, L. B.
I'enlz, u petty officer uhonrd the
Cruiser Charleston. The letter is
(luted at New York, July 24:
"We nre buck in the states ugain
after a ;!o-day trip to France. My
ship was part of a convoy escorting
troop ships across to France. Our
trip was without much excitement,
ultho a couple of torpedoes wore
li red u t us.
"Our port in Franco was St. Nn
.aire, nt tho mouth of the Loire river.
Xante is 40 miles up the river and
I spent a 48-hour liberty up there,
enjoying; it immensely, us yon can
imagine.
"The most vivid reminder of the
war was the hordes of German pris
oners. Of course there nre soldiers
of nil nntionnlities. The American
sailors made a hit because of Ihe way
they spend their money. French
sailors only get $8 a month we draw
from ifsiti up mid in the eyes of the
natives are little less than million-
ii i res mid little more tlinn fools for
spending it so recklessly. I will en
close you n French '2-cent piece.
"Pur western trip wns even less
exciting than going over. We were
delayed by engine trouble nnd bad
wealher. I think we will be in tho
slates some little time us we expect
lo go into dry dock.
"We have no chaplain on this bout
altho one may he attached now. I
hnve n good 'stand-in' with my divis
ion officer nnd so far have remained
'especial first elass' in deportment.
Quite a number have been 'kicked
out' since I came on hoard. Four
teen were 'put on the beach' when
we Arrived here nnd more nre to fol
low. The discipline is pretty strict."

ing to the Vienna Allgemeinc Zti
1 1 i icr. Dr. Von Seydler, the Austrian
premier, has informed the leaders in
parliament Hint he will be entrusted
with ihe formtition of a permanent
cabinet.
Warning
We are informed that at some cafes, restaurants
and gardens beer and strong drinks have been
sold under the guise of the popular soft drink
Bevo.
These reports have been confirmed sufficiently to
compel us to take action.
The beverage Bevo enjoys the protection of both
federal and state authority. In preparing it for
sale and in marketing it, we adopt every possible
precaution to protect the public against imposi
tion and to prevent evasion cf the law. Bevo is
sold in bottles only, we bottle all of it ourselves,
and we have adopted a kind of bottle, crown and
seals designed to prevent imitation.
We shall omit no measure within our power to
defend the authority under which Bevo is
manufactured and scld, to protect the public from
imposition, and to safeguard the good name cf this
Association.
We therefore give fair warning that we shall refuse
to sell our products to those- who are found guilty
of the above offense.
ANHEUSER-BUSCH BRENC ASSOCIATION
OF FRUIT EASY
nctween thirty and forty fruit
growers gathered at the cold' storage
plant of the local Fruit and Produce
association Tuesday afternoon and
were treated to a very Interesting
demonstration of the new roller con
veyor for distributing fruit boxes
without labor.
The new device worked perfectly
and aside from Its practical value is
a very Interesting mechanism to
watch. The boxes are first raised
from the truck by a chain elevator to
the top floor of the cold storage plant.
This operation Is usually performed at
night. The roller conveyor is built
In sections, can be moved about, curv
ed here and there, and brought to any
part of a building as easily as a hose,
so at night it Is tacked to the elevator
and leads to any section of the pack
ing tables desired. Each consignment
of fruit is placed in the same place
ready for the packers In the morning.
The fruit Is then packed, the box
nailed and placed on the roller con
veyor which proceeds to shoot It down
to tho cold storage floor through a
circular sheet Iron drop, and thence
to any cold storage room desired.
The Interesting feature of the ap
paratus is that there Is nothing to
hold the box on the track and the
roller track Itself has no motive pow
er. The boxes glide along by gravity
from one roller to another, the track
being built on a slight decline, and
the weight of the box with the perfect
adjustment of the track and Iron
guards at the curves, preventing any
mishap.
This new device eliminates the
work of six to eight men, does the
work better with less danger of dam
age, and is worth $450 to $500 i
month in saving of labor alone. The
roller system moreover has an unllm
ited capacity. Where increased ton
nage under the old system necessitat
ed hiring more men, the new system
works 24 hours in the day and carries
as many boxes as it is possible to pile
on.
