FRISCO SOON TO
GET HOUCK ROAD
Advertisement Calls For Stock
In Cape Road Under Re-
organization Plan.

When the Frisco railroad is reor-
ganized, the Cape Giradeau and
Northern will be taken over by the
Frisco, according to information which
is considered authentic in this city.
An advertisement, which has been
published in st. Louis newspapers and
publications in the East, requests the
stockholders in the Frisco railroad and
all of its subsidiary organizations to
turn their stock into the reorganizers.
In the schedule Of stock wanted is
listed the Chester, Perryville and Ste.
Genevieve Railway Co., which is the
Cape Girardeau and Northern. This
is the railroad which the Frisco agreed
to take over several years ago. Louis
Houck has been suing to compel the
Frisco to carry out its part Of the COLI
tract for several years.
The Federal Court a few months
ago held that the contract made be-
tween the Frisco and the owners Of
the Cape Girardcau and Northern was
binding. 1t is said that Mr.. Houck
will get approximately $1,000,G00
when he gets his settlement with the
Frisco.
The transfers of the outstanding
stock of the Frisco and the concerns
affiliated with it must be made by
April 9, under the terms Of the adver-
tisement. The reorganization plan is
expected to be completed about the
middle Of April, if rumors that have
been received in this city are true.

been acknowledged by the United

In addition to setting forth all rea-
sons for the decree that armed ships
shall be sunk without warning, the
memorandum renews the suggestion
that concessions by the allies regard
ing the arming Of merchant vessels
might modify the German order.
The suggestion is taken TO indicate
that Germany hopes the United
States may resume her efforts toward

"a blockade contrary to internation-
al law" to keep neutral trade from
German ports and to make German
exports impossible
THE hampering Of trade between
neutral countries through the extend
