FRANCE is DRAFTING DEMANDS
Cabinet Outlining Nations Position
in Moroccan Affair.
IN NATURE OF AN ULTIMATUM
Both France and Germany Are Carry
ing on war Preparations, Doubt
less ~ . Diplomatic
Maneuver.

PARIS, Aug IA cabinet council was
held today, when the course OF the French
negotiations with Germany over the Mo-
roccan dispute we're unanimously approved
as were the instructions to Jules Cambon
the French ambassador TO Germany, as
drawn up by NJ. De Selves, the minister Of
foreign affairs, and Ambassador Cambon,
after long conferences, in which Premier
Caillaux. NJ. lie Brun, the minister of
colonies, and NJ. CruppL the minister Of
justice, participated.
The instructions TO NJ. Cambon contain,
according to an earlier announcement, the
maximum terms which France will offer
to Germany in order to reach a settlement,
The council convened at 10 o'clock under
the presidency Of the premier, and imme-
diatey began a consideration of the in
structions which had been submitted by
President Fathers at Rambouillet yester-
day by the premier.
The ministers entered the cabinet room
at the ministry of the interior in a spirit
of much gravity for 1t had been felt
throughout the week that the decision Of
the cabinet today would have q serious i'm
port for France.
The session Of the council lasted two and
one-half hours a portion Of the sitting
being occupied with other matters.
The council adjourned to meet on Au-
gust 81 at Rambouillet under the presi-
dency Of President Fallieres. Although the
Instructions cannot be regarded as sug-
costing an ultimatum, yet an important
step has been taken toward a rupture or
an accord, depending on how the German
government receives the proposals.
Both France and Germany are carrying
on war preparations and each power ap-
pears willing that the other should know it.
Doubtless as a diplomatic maneuver there
is a little rafting OF the saber to show
mutual earnestness.
Nevertheless in a time OF tension such as
this war must be among the contingencies
considered by craftsmanship. The word
war" is used more frequently this week
in the conversation OF serious Frenchmen
than II has heen used in any previous
period since 1906.
Generally 1t is used interrosatively in
the sense that Can II be possible that we
must fight? and rs Germany pushing
us into war;"

RULING IN SEWARD CASE
state Railway Commission Decides
One Phone EXCHANGE Should BE
Unit OF Service.
FROM a staff Correspondence

CFrom a starr Correspondent
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 1.--(special)--1n
the matter Of complaint against the
Seward County Telephone company the
State Railway commission has given out
a ruling which is Of some Importance 70
the different systems over the state. The
contention was made that the Seward
county company gave county service tt
subscribers entitled TO have only city ser
vice. according to telephone rentals PAID
by them. The charge for the residenc'
telephone in the city was 81 ana for TIT
business phone $3.50 With the addition O.
80 cents to the residence phones and =:
to the business phones the patrons were
given the chance to have country servic,
without further payment.
Pertinent points in the ruling, which Il
not TO be construed as an order, are as
follows
Under the blanket rate the comnnis sior
has not been able to devise any plar
whereby a telephone company can be pro
tected from abuses OF the privilege, con
sequently, we believe that the solution Q
this problem is that one exchange should
be the unit Of exchange service (until sucf
time as all telephone service 10 placed or
measured basis), and that all other ser
vice should be covered by toll charg
which should be remunerative but not bur
densome.
Conditions are so varied and practices
of giving added exchange free, are 90 prev
alent in this state at the present time, tina
we believe an attempt to eliminate free
service or the practice OF giving added ex
change service on a fiat rate would Sc
dlsorganize the telephone business as tC
almost create a chaotic condition. How
ever. we believe II is TO the interests OF
both the telephone companies and theii
tees, and in the future. discourage tbs
establishment OF this service. thus making
IT possible for the commission to issue ar
order covering the same without injusticC
