TRANS - MOUNTAIN ELECTRIC
TRAVEL THE DREAM OF
YEARS REALIZED
Prophecy has been crystallized into
fact —the future has become today
the age of electric railroading is here.
Giant electric locomotives whose only
fuel is the limitless power generated by
mountain cataracts haul the heavy steel
trains of the “Milwaukee Road” across
the great mountain ranges of the
Northwest.
Through the Belt, Rocky, and Bitter
Root Mountains---for 440 miles elec
ricity has superseded steam as m otive
power —and soon the puffing steam lo
comotive will yield its place to the elec
tric giant in the Cascade Mountains in
Washington, as the work of electrify
ing the 211 miles through this range is
well under way.
When you travel to Butte, Spokane,
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and other
Pacific Northwest Cities enjoy a
smokeless, cinderless, noiseless trip
through the mountains over the
modern electric way—the Chicago.

Lansing of violations of neutrality in
Argentina and Mexico in behalf of
Germany.
KAISER REGRETS ENVOY’S
ACTIONS IN ARGENTINE
Berlin's Assurances Not Acceptable to
Government at Buenos Aires—
Ousted Diplomat to Leave.
Buenos Aires, Sept. IS. —Dr. Lius B.
Molina, the Argentine minister at Ber
lin, informed the Argentine foreign
office by cable that the German gov
ernment had expressed regret over the
actions of Count von Luxburg, the
German minister to Argentina. Doctor
Molina reported that Baron von dem
Bussche-Haddenhausen, undersecre
tary of the German foreign office, had
informed him that Germany disap
proved absolutely of expressions used
by Count von Luxburg in his dis
patches.
The undersecretary, who acted for
Doctor von Kuehlmann, the German
foreign secretary, during Ids absence
in Munich, asked the Argentine minis
ter to request the Argentine govern
ment to notify Count von Luxburg that
the German government wished him
to return immediately to Germany to
explain the entire matter personally.
Doctor Molina was asked to obtain a
safe conduct for Count von Luxburg.
Count von Luxburg announced that
he probably will sail on September
28 for Bilboa, Spain, on a Spanish
steamer.
Foreign Minister Peyrredon, after
reading Doctor Molina’s cablegram,
announced that he declined to accept
the assurances of Baron von dem
Bussche-Haddenhausen as a satisfac
tory settlement of the Luxburg inci
dent, because it was merely the ver
bal statement of an undersecretary.
The Argentine foreign office is await
ing a formal note from the German
government before closing the inci
dent.
Washington, Sept. 14. —The-material
aid given Germany by Sweden was not
confined to transmission of naval se
crets by code from Argentina to Ber
lin. A copy of an official letter from
Herr von Eckhardt, German minister
in Mexico, to his home office, given out
by Secretary Lansing on Thursday,
makes the startling revelation that
Folke Cronholm, Swedish charge
d’affaires in Mexico City, was an active
agent of the German government.
So extensive were his services that
he was recommended to the kaiser
as being worthy of a special decora
tion as reward for his services.
It is shown that Folke Cronholm not
only gave military and diplomatic in
formation to Minister von Eckhhrdt at
least up to March, 1916, but that he
followed the example of his colleague
in Buenos Aires by transmitting offi
cial messages from the German em
bassy in the official Swedish code to
the foreign office at Stockholm and
thence to Berlin. ~

Rome, Sept. 17. —Italian troops

edge of the Bainsizza plateau, it is an

Judge Rochford of Marion Superior
Court of Indiana Holds Law
makers Exoeedeu Power.
Indianapolis, Sept. 18. —Suffragists
received a severe blow when the sec
ond of the big three laws of the last
legislature was held unconstitutional.
Judge James Rochford of the Ma
rion superior court held the solons
had their power in passing
the “limited woman suffrage law.’*
Judge Rochford’s decision hinged on
an article in the state constitution fix
ing the qualifications for voters and
limiting suffrage to males.
