Squabble Over Light
Plant at Broken Bow
Council Revokes Franchise of Com
pany Because of Alleged Viola
tons of It.

BROKEN BOW. Neb. March n-(spe-
cial)-The city council and electric light
people are still making faces at each other,
neither party having as yet exhibited any
signs Of displaying the olive branch. The
council claims that the light company has
repeatedly violated its agreements with the
city and at the last meeting held by that
body the franchise was revoked.
Manager Steen declares there was no
notification OF a council meeting given
him when the present action was taken
and he proposes to go ahead with the
work as though nothing had happened. He
says lights will be turned on between
the 18th and the last part Of the month. c.
S. Martin ,one OF the leading men OF the
company, further states that the plant
will be put in operation even though his
own residence be the only house in town
lighted with electricity.
According to statements made by some OF
the councilmen the city has been sparring
for some time with the light people in
order to make them concede certain points
that would be to the city's interests and
this latest mode Of procedure was adopted
in order to bring them to time.

LONDON, March 11.-(Special Cable
gram Prom the concentration of Ameri-
can troops and war ships at points con-
tinguous to the Mexican border, Europe is
drawing an extremely broad conclusion,
and one that cannot be modified easily by
diplomatic notes. Summed up in SEN
tence 1t is this:
The United States is entering upon a
new stage of national life on the southern
frontier just as II is endeavoring to enter
upon a new stage in the northern frontier
agreement.
Drawn with complacency in certain
parts of Europe, the deduction is distinctly
unwelcome In other. The general feeling
is that all Europe is affected profoundly
by the plans for the "msnoeuvers,' no less
than by the proposed revision of fiscal
arrangements.
1t is taken for granted that the Wash
ington policy in both matters, as in all
others, will be no step backward and no
sidestepping."
