given.

Paris, France.-The French gov

of Stockholm to join with the other

friendly but firm note to Sweden in
regard to its policy of neutrality. The
note takes issue with the position
of Sweden in distinguishing between
submarines for wal and those for
commerce which the French govern
ment affirms has ian effect contrary
to neutrality, since the Swedish ma
val forces would hesitate to attack a
German submarine in Sweden waters
under the pretext that it might be a
commercial submarine, whereas there
| would be no similar hesitation in deal
ing with a submarine of the allies
because they have no commercial sub
marines"
"The attitude adopted by the Swed-
ish government" the note says, sis
at variance in obvious respects with
an attitude which is compatible with
the duties of a loyal and impartial

First Chief Plans to Place Nation

Mexico City, Mexico.-Mexico is
now about to resume her place
among the republics of the Western
Hemisphere after four years Of revo-
lutionary disturbances. A decree is
sued by Carranza on the eve of the
celebration of the anniversary of the
Mexican independence prepares the
way for the present de facto govern
ment to be replaced by a substantial
constitutional government.
The decree calls for a revision of
several articles of the plan of Qua
dalupe, drawn up on Dec. II, 1914,
and makes provision for the election
of members of a national congress.
Another decree will be issued to-
day, calling for the election of a con-
stitutional congress on Oct. Is.
The first session of the new con
gress will be held Nov rs, probably
at Coyoacan, a suburb of Mexico
City
The decree provides that each state
and territory shall elect a deputy to
congress and a s%ubdeputy for every
10000 Inhabitants, and an additional
deputy If the fraction above 10000
exceeds tw~o-sevenths of that mum
Der.
Any state or territory not having
10000 inhabitants is entitled to elect
a deputy and a subdeputy
The eligibility requirements are
the same as those provided in the
election of 1857. Those to opposed
the constitutional government with
arms will be ineligible to hold office

Proceeds Against Union Pacific.

The state public service commits
sion directed it's counsel to institute
proceedings in the circuit court Of
Jackson county against the Union
Pacific Railroad Company with a
view to forcing the latter to submit
a proposed bond issue to the commits
sion for approval or rejection before
proceeding to issue the securities.
This is but one feature of a prolonged
legal controversy between the road
and the commission. The railroad has
but one-half mile of track in this
state, but the commission contends,
and it has the Endorsement of the
supreme court, that although but this
small part Of the 1000 miles of road
of the company is in Missouri, yet
its bond issues must be approved by
the commission as covering the en-
tire property.
