GERMAN NOTES
GET FRENCH 0. K.
Disarmament Letter De-
mands Obedience to
Treaty Provisions
(By The Associated Press.)

PARIS, May 12.-The French cabinet
today unanimously approved Foreign
Minister Brands two notes, one re-
plying to the German disarmament be-
fore Cologne shall be evacuated
The disarmament >note which will be
submitted to the allies, is proposed as
the text the allied council of ambass-
adors should send to Germany as a long
deferred summons to disarm in compli-
ance with the treaty Of Versailles. It's
terms have not been made public and it
is known to be a compromise between
the French and British views
The British are said to have con-
ceded that the date of the Cologne
evacuation should remain unfixed, but
be independent upon the manner in
which the Germans observe the dis
armament requirements. The French
agreed to limit the requirements to the
principal items of the report submitted
by the inter-allied military control mis-
sion, passing over the numerous small
er violations Of the treaty provisions
in this respect.

lines in Texas, as stating that
formal application for such per-
mission already has been filed
with the interstate commerce
commission.
The Houston newspapers state only
in a general way that the Southern Pa
cific proposes to extend to the Valley.
The dispatch from Mercedes to The
if the application is granted, will extend
south from Falfurrias to a point be-
tween McAllen and Samfordyce. At
that point it is the intention of the
Southern Pacific, according to the Mer-
cedes information, to cross the Rio
Grande into Mexico.
August Is, 1903, the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass Railway Company amend
ed its charter to provide for the extern
sion of it's line from Alice into the Rio
Grande Valley and during that year the
line was actually constructed from Alice
to Falfurrias, a distance of about 81
miles Grading was carried beyond Fal-
furrias and it was then expected that
the line would enter the Rio Grande
Valley during the year following the
amendment to the charter.
The company, however, was overtaken
by misfortune, financial and otherwise,
and. the construction of the track was
stopped at Falfurrias, which has ever
since remained the southern terminus
Of the line. The company has always
hoped and intended to resume construc-
tion, but has been unable to do SO until
the present time.
March 25, 1925, the interstate COM
merce commission authorized the lease
of the properties of the San Antonio
and Aransas Pass to the Galveston,
Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway
Company, and this lease became effect
i've May /. This makes possible at the
present time the construction and op-
Grafton of the extension.
1t is intended that when the certifi-
cate of public convenience and necessity
shall have been issued by the interstate
commerce commission actual work on
the extension will be begun as soon as
possible and vigorously pressed to COM
pletion.
