SWEDEN TAKES STEPS AS RE,
PRISAL FOR BLOCKADE.
Action Following Seizure of Food
Ship, Heavy Blow at British
Newspapers.

London, Eng.-Sweden seems de-
termined to set the pace for neutrals
i'll regard to reprisals, for with the
holding up by the British of the liner
Stockholm from New York and the
seizures of 1000 tons of her cargo
which is still being ~unloaded, Swe,
den has prohibited the export of wood
pulp, whether wet or dry.
This will affect the British paper
industry seriously, as it is estimated
nine-tenths of the pulp used here is
imported from Sweden. While some
concerns have a large stock, a con
tinuance of the embargo would create
future embarrassment, it is said.
"The action of Sweden" says the
Westminster Gazette, lis a reminder
tc those who have been urging a com
plete blockade of neutrals that these
powers have power of retaliation
which may be even more inconvcn-
lent to us than the loss of our supplies
of paper"
Many provincial newspapers have
been forced to discontinue publication
in recent months.
According to Lloyds, who are the
greatest paper manufacturers in The
country, there is only sufficient pulp
in the country to meet normal re-
quirements until March l.

DEATH TO AMERICANS is CRY

Washington.-Death to Americans
in Mexico and destruction of their
property, as well as war to a finish
against Carranza was determined up
on, it became known here at a formal
convention of Mexican revolutionary
leaders held in November at a ranch
near Cordoba. Present and joining in
the agreement are said to have been
representatives of Villa, Zapata, Ar
gumedo, EIiginio Aguilar, the Cedillo
brothers, and many lesser chieftains.
Meager reports of this gathering
came to the state department long
ago, but they were not made public
and few people in Washington knew
that there was a general conspiracy
against Americans or even that the
various rebel factions in the field in
Mexico had effected any kind of an
agreement for concerted activities
against the de facto government.

POPE TO HOLD G0ASsTOM EMBARGO ON WOOD pulp
CONVocATIoN TO TAKE PLACE
IN MARCH.
Belief Is That Pontiff Summons Car
dinaIs to Get Additional Peace
Data.

Rome, Italy.-The utmost import
ance was attached to the Vatican an
nouncement that the pope will hold
another consistory early in March. 1t
is understood the cardinals will be
summoned into ~conclave as another
step in the pontiff's program for an
early peace.
Ostensibly, the consistory has been
called in order that Pope Benedict
may impose the red hat upon MGR.
Scapanelli, Fapal Nunzio at Vienna,
and Mgr. Fruhwirth, 'Nunzio at Mu-
mich, who were created cardinals in
December, but who did not come to
Rome.
In reality, diplomats believe the
pope wants to inform himself of the
precise conditions and possibilities of
peace in Vienna and the feeling in
the kingdom of Bavaria.
The visits of the Austrian and Ba.
varian prelates to Rome will follow
closely the pontiff's audiences with
Cardinal Hartmann of Cologne and
Cardinal MERCER of Belgium, who are
reported to have delivered unofficial
peace messages to his holiness.
Diplomats of the allies here view
with open concern the arrival of the
two new cardinals, who will relin.
quish their posts and take up per
manent residence in Rome as curia
cardinals. They will become the pom
tiff's closest advisers and further
more will give the Austro-German
cardinals numerical superiority at the
vatican.

state Deficit Grows Larger.

It is now admitted in official cir
cles in Jefferson City that there will
be nearly $780, 900 in unpaid APP
preparations made by the Forty
eighth general assembly at the end
Of the biennial period of 1915 and
1916.
An official who would not permit
the use of his lame said that not
enough money can be gotten togeth-
er to pay many of the a~ppropria-
tons made and that they can not
be paid.
The legislature which was given
an estimate of $11,500,000 by the
state auditor as the total of expect
ed revenues from all sources for the
biennial period, appropriated a total
of $16,47S, 275, OF a sum s~4.973,275 in
excess of the estimated receipts into
the revenue fund. !.
The total receipts into the revenue
from which the governor approved
appropriations in the sum Of S14, 244,-
539, during the year 1915, were 3d.
3S6,251. If no more is collected in
the coming year than last year the
revenues for the period. will be about
$10,S0O,O00 or 100000 less than the
expected revenue. This would boost
the state deficit for this year to over
$4,000, 900.
The expenditures for the year are
S. 40. 57S, or $355,327 more that the
amount of revenue.
Counting in $~919,627.40 due the pub
lie schools the outstanding debts and
obligations of the state on December
81, 1915, were more than ST. 900.
OF the $919,627.4O, $334,1S9.31 was
the amount the supreme court or
dered the auditor to apportion in adj
dition to the regular school fund, and
the balance was the amount to which
the schools were entitled of the rev
enues collected since July 1, 1915.
Before July 1, 1916, the state must
raise for the public schools alone
to give them what they lost last
year, the sum of $~2,274,189.
The new jobs created, increased
salaries and the Confederate open
sions boosted expenditures nearly
$1,000,000 for 1915 and 1916.

Jefferson CITY.

Jefferson City.
The year 1916 finds Missouri with
fewer retail liquor dealers than has
been the case for many years, but
there + still 1929 in the state,
chiefly in the larger towns.
This was a falling off in a year of
1,544 thirst parlors," there having
been s,S43 in Missouri at the COM
mencement of 1915.
This is from an information bulle-
tin issued by the office Of the state
labor commissioner, John T. Fitzpat-
rick. At the beginning Of 1916 there
were approximately 42,304 Missouri
corporations, companies and firms
VINO paid special taxes to the United
States as compared with 1873 at
the commencement of 1915, this in
crease being due to the additional
burden placed on the country by the
present European war. Internal rev.
enue receipts from Missouri increas-
ed for 1915 to ~$14,S74,945 from S13,
S31,51S for 1914, a gain of $1,543,327
in 70 months.
The falling off in the numbers of
retail liquor dealers was chiefly due
to a ruling of the supreme court in
early 1915 requiring that clubs which
sold liquor to members had to take
out state, county and city licenses.
Most of such organizations as the
Elk, Moose, Eagles, Owls and a few
others to escape the decision install
ed private locker systems, whereby
each member has his own supply of
refreshments.
Altogether, including rectifyers,
wholesalers, retailers and manufact-
urers of liquors there are now 1909
in the state, consisting of rs rectifv-
ers, TIA wholesale dealers in dis
titled spirits, 6,935 retailers, 40 brew
cries and 364 retail and 315 wholesale
dealers in malt liquors.
