COMMISSION DISCUSSES
THE SHREVEPORT C,Sy.

''S fslOtT CANE,
In discussing the Shreveport case. the
commission says: We call to mind once
more the fact previously noted that
TINS commission has not reached out
III any spirit OF aggression to lay its
hahds on situations involving the
principle Of the Shreveport case
"hi!e we have decided over nifty Of
such cases. and more are being pre-
sen'cd to us from time to time We
have dealt with them in the regular
line OF official duty. We handle md
dispose Of these cases in the same
manner as all other cases. in accord
an"e with law and in obedience TO our
official oath.
"Gcncrally speaking, such situations
represent rate questions and economic
problems. rather than legal cOntro-
rersies and constitutional issues We
believe that every such case can. as
practical matter. be disposed of with
out challenge of these principles Of
government"
II concludes with the statement that
IL makes this recommendation with
the ldea mat economic changes in this
country are rapid, that the act to
regulate commerce must continue TO be
subject TO amendment. and that this
change is not suggested to he more

PLANNING A GRAND REVIEW
Whole Border Guard May Be coneen-
trated at FL Paso and March
Before President

Ell Paso, Tex, Sept. 14.-With the
arrival of the last contingent of Ohio
troops here late yesterday. the largest
body of troops gathered in this coun-
try since the close of the Civil War
is under canvas in the wide-flung
camps near Fort Bliss-39, 900 men, of
whom $4,000 are national guardsmen
according to figures announced by
Gen. George Bell. jr.
Tentative plans are under way in
Washington, it is reported here, for a
gigantic review of all the troops in
this district by President Wilson in
October to demonstrate the effective
ness of the mobilization as a prepared
ness move. The President is sched-
uled to speak at the dedication of the
Elephant Butte irrigation project near
here, October IA.
At that time, it is said. the thousands
of national guardsmen from the entire
2,000-mile stretch of border will be
brought to Ell Paso to participate in
the largest and most impressive mill
tary maneuver ever held in the United
States. After that. if the plans are
carried out. the guard will be with
drawn from the border.

SPAN OF BIG BRIDGE FALLS
Ninety Men Carried Into ST. Law
renee River in Second Accident
to Canadian Structure.

Quebec, Canada, Sept. 1.-THE CEN
trail span of the worlds greatest
bridge collapsed and fell into the ST.
Lawrence river at 10 o'clock today
with loss of life variously estimated
at from three to twenty-five.
The company erecting the structure
placed the number of deaths at the
larger figure, but H. p Borden,
member of the Quebec Bridge Com
mission, declared that only three per-
sons were lost.
Several hours after the accident
happened a special train into Quebec
brought twenty men who had been in
jured.
Nine years ago, August 90, 1907,
similar accident at the same spot took
toll of seventy lives. Today ninety
men were carried into the river when
the 5,000-ton span, being raised from
pontoons in an engineering feat, fell
into the water and sank 200 feet, per-
haps never to be recovered. The span
was GAO feet long.
The bridge was being constructed
at cost of II million dollars in or
der to shorten the railway journey
from Halifax to the Canadian North
west by two hundred miles.

SWEDEN sTIRs THE BRITISH
Seizure of English Mail While Passing
Through Country Causes Sharp
Exchange of Notes

London, Sept 11.-There has been a
further and rather sharp exchange of
notes between Great Britain and
Sweden in regard to the difficulties
brought about by the Entente Allied
blockade and Sweden's retaliatory
seizure of mails in transit between
England and Russia. No solution of
the problem is in sight The British
foreign secretary, Viscount Grey, in
sists that as a condition to submit
ting the matter to arbitration Sweden
must promise not to interfere again
with English parcels post matter in
transit across Sweden. The Swedish
government apparently is determined
not to make such an engagement.
1t is notable that until now the cor
respondence has been conducted al
most wholly between Viscount Grey
and the Swedish minister in London.
But Viscount Grey's latest note TO
Count WrangeI says the counts COM.
munication is not understood, and that
the British minister at Stockholm is
being directed to present the matter
to the Swedish government. Count
Wrangel now has gone to the Cont
nent and it is announced he will stay
for several weeks.
Count WrangePs letter, given out
today, says Sweden shares the hopes
expressed by Viscount Grey that the
correspondence may bring definite So
luton of the questions at issue, and
that Sweden would warmly congratu-
late itself on the application of the
fertile principle of international arbi-
tration.'
The count says further he is glad
the British government appears to
recognize it is an impossibility for the
Swedish government Ito renounce in
advance the right to take measures
which regrettable circumstances might
render necessary"
In reply, Viscount Grey says the
meaning of this communication is not
clear, and that he had instructed the
British minister at Stockholm to point
out to the Swedish government that
Great Britain must, as a condition
precedent to any arrangement involv-
ing recourse to arbitration. have as
surance that the Swedish government
ment will definitely cease to interfere
with the transit of parcels to and from
the United Kingdom across Sweden"
