SENIORS NAIL FLAGS
 TOP. H. J. TOPMAsTS

Two perfectly good and new senior pennants are flying from the mizzen top mast of the Phoenix Union High school this morning. They were not there last evening. All of which is in tended to convey the information to the juniors that their glory in having swung their banner to the breezes, is short lived
 In order to effect the ascent to the top of the poles, the seniors secured the loan of one of the most active gOr- iilas carried by Ringing Brothers to climb skyward and permanently affix the emblem of the class that expects to make history for the high school the ensuing term. The seniors declare that it will take habeas corpus proceedings to remove the pennants from their lofty OoSitionS

 Nj. Granting criticized the attempts of the Swedish foreign office to defend and excuse itself in the LuXburg af- fair by the issuance of diplomatic doe uments of the weakest possible char acter, with which the nation could not be satisfied. He declared the parallel which the foreign minister had at tempted to draw between the LuXburg telegram and the communications for warded on behalf of the American gov ernment was faulty and misleading. He condemned the failure to protest against the abuse of Sweden's good of fees and the way in which Sweden had been dra gged into the affair

made any similar expression of regret to the British government.
 We have been expecting a state ment from Admiral Lindman along these lines, said a foreign office off cial, but we expected it would come in an official way. An expression of regret along these lines, if made in formal way, would do much to smooth relations. But thus far Sweden has not officially expressed any regret or of fered any explanation.
 "The foreign minister's statement to the Associated Press covers the ground quite broadly and We should be very glad if he sees fit to repeat it in sub stance in a formal communication to US.
 We hope that the Associated Press interview is the precursor of an off cial explanation which will form basis for the removal of any cloud on the relations between Great Britain and Sweden.
 In the statement referred to, For eign Minister Lindman admitted that Sweden realized the seriousness of the situation created by the recent eE posures at Washington regarding the transmission of German despatches by the Swedish legation and declared that the Swedish government was minded to do everything possible to settle the problem. He added that the trans mission of dispatches on behalf of Ger many had been stopped absolutely; that the government had no knowledge of the nature of the dispatches in ques- tiOn, that strong representations had been made to the German government on the abuse of the privilege and that conditions would be remedied.

IRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, Sept 17.-An important de- bate is expected tomorrow when the new cabinet, headed by Professor Painleve, appears before the chamber of deputies A discussion of general policies, the conduct of the war and the bread supply will come up.
 The government has decided to make no reply to the interpellations of Dep uty Louis Turmel, in whose locker at the chamber of deputies were found twentyfive Swiss 1000- franc bills, unless M. Turmel in the meantime shall have verified the source of that money. The deputy gave notice that he would ask the government to eX- plain the refusal of the French author ities at the frontier to allow him to cross into Switzerland the day before yesterday for the ostensible purpose of collecting evidence to clear up the matter.
 An official statement issued from the chamber of deputies regarding the Turmel affair says:
 M Deschanel president of the chamber), questioned regarding the sum of money found in the locker room of the chamber, replied that on July 10 he was informed by one of the Qua Esters that an employe had found the day before in the part of the locker room assigned to Deputy Turmel an open envelop containing 25,000 francs in Swiss bank bills. Soon afterward another Qua Ester informed M. De schanel that a suspicious individual came occasionally to the chamber and conferred with Deputy Turmel in the lobby. The Qua Ester asked that the minister of the interior be informed. watched "a inquiry continued.
 During the preliminary recess Dep uty Tunnel had left Paris July and had not returned when he was sum moned by officials of the chamber. Under the circumstances it was de- cided to continue the inquiry"
 Another communication given out at the office of the president of the cham Der reads:
 Deputy Turmel was asked to call at the office of the president of the chamber this morning. In the pres ence of the Qua Esters he was pressed lengthily and closely to make known the origin of the sum found in the locker room as well as the names of the firms which paid it. He refused and recorded his refusal in writing. He then retired, but a quarter of an iiChA ietNtl Neiiilt DdCh anu SOllClleQ an other audience in the course of which he wrote the following letter to the president and the Qua Esters of the chamber:
 Payment was made by the Swiss federal bank and the object of the pay ment was advice given with a view of assuring the benefit of fiscal and sim liar receipts in France
 "(Signed) T. TURMEL.' "
 The minister of justice has ordered a judicial inquiry into the affair. NJ. Gilbert, an examining magistrate. has been charged with an inquiry into con tracts made in 19l6-17 by a business house in a neutral country covering several thousand head of beef cattle which It Is supposed were destined for Germany.

New Railroad a Boon
To Straits Settlements

By the linking up Of the Federated
Malay States railways. which now ex-
tend northward to the Siamese border,
with the southern railway system OF
Siam, through rail communication has
been established from Singapore to
Bangkok. a distance of nearly Eve hun
dred miles.
AT present" writes Edwin ~ Gun
saulus. American Consul General at
Singapore, certain sections Of the track
are adapted only to the running OF
construction trains, and a few OF the
bridges are OF temporary construction.
but these are being rapidly replaced
by permanent structures. II is pro-
posed to open the line for through
passenger and freight traffic in April
Of next year, this length OF time be-
ing required for perfecting the road
bed and securing the necessary rolling
stock. which has been unobtainable
owing TO war conditions. Passengers
will then be able to make continuous
trip by rail between the capita and
chief port of the Straits Settlements
and tine capital Of Siam. thus efTectng
a considerable saving in distance and
time over the sea route, which requires
at present from three to four days be-
tween Singapore and Bangkok.
Not only is the completion Of this
line an important event in establish
ing through rail communication be
tween these cities. but it also marks
an epoch for both the Malay Peninsula
and Siam in railway construction, in
that il opens UP TO settlement and in
creased trade and commercial oppor-
tunitics vast sections Of country whose
development and progress have been
held in check By lack Of adequate rail
way facilities and proper market out
lets for agricultural and other prod
ucts. the output and value Of which
are bound to be greatly stimulated by
the construction of this road
