NEW RAILROAD FROM MEXICO
CITY TO OLD MT. lssPOPO.

Mexico City, Mex, Jan. "a syndicate
Of Mexico City capitalists is studying
a project for establishing an electric
railway between Mexico City. the mount
Of PopCcatepetl and the city of Puebla.
According to the proposed plan the
trip viii occupy two hours and will
cover the most interesting sections Of
country between the two cities as well
as the historic mountain of Popecate-
petl The number of tourists visiting
the capital at all seasons Of the year
has induced the promoters TO ask for
a concession and in the event of secur-
ing one, will begin construction Of the
road Immediately.
The project is backed by Dr. T. S.
Pearson and when the road is built,
it viii be possible to ride from Mexico
City to the top of Mount POpocatepetl
in two hours for So, from balmy air to
a temperature of 20 degrees below
zero in 30 minutes. Dr. Pearson said
last night that the final surveys on
the NlexicO-Puebla and Mexico-TOluca
lines had been stopped, owing to the
disturbed conditions in the country, but
that as soon as peace had been re-
stored finally the work would be con-
tfnued The construction of the Pu-
ebla route viii be started as soon as
the surveys had been finished and it
was possible that work on both lines
will be commenced at the same time.

Chihuahua, Mex, Jan. 9.-The secre-
tary Of public Instruction has cOmplet-

forced military service law in the re-
public and has sent it to president Ma
derO for his concurrence Afterwards
the president viii have 1t presented
before congress for its appreciation and
it is thought very likely that It VIII
be passed.
The plan as conceived by the secre-
tary calls for enforced military service
by all young men physically capable
The plans is fashioned almost Identical
with the national guard in the united
States. Each large city viii have ar
mOries where weekly drills VIII be
held and each year encampments at
various points in the republic VIII be
held
While this service will be obligatory,
yet it will in no way affect the 1ndi-
vidual or individuals as regards pur-
suing daily labors except in the event
Of war with a foreign country. In
other words, while it will be consid-
cred enforced service, yet from an
army standpoint, the men viii be look
ed upon as volunteers Should the plan
become law, over $780, viii be add
ed to the army.
This in no way conflicts with the
compulsory military law drawn up sew
eral weeks ago which calls for one out
Of every thousand population to serve
In the regular army. Between the Two
laws the estimated strength OF the
army viii be in the neighborhOod Of
