STORMY SCENE IN-FRENCH CHAMBER

MAN OF PEACE FIGHTS WITH A WATER BOTTLE

PARIS, Dec. 12.

A stormy scene took place in the Chamber during the debate on the War Credita.

A Socialist member, M. Brizon, ons of the threa depaties who recently met the German Socialists in Switzerland, vehemently protested against the pro- longation of the war, of which the only result was to engulf millions.

Tumult sasted Brizon persisted, despite the opposition of the whole Chamber, and the incident culminated in M. Brizon hurling a water bottle at the head of his nearest opponent.

The sitting was suspended amid pan.

RAILWAYS IN CHINA.

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS,

In the course of an article on the American railway contact the Fering Daily News says of the interests of Foreign Powers in the railways of China: "Out of the $858,000,000 of 1 capital invested in Chinese ruilways (the fgures are for 1914) Russia OWAS $200,000,000, England $140,000,000, Japan $125,000,000, China #128,000,000, Germany 880,000,000 and France $63,000,000. Thus it would appear that Russia and Japan held more than a third of the total capitalization of the obvious desire of both of these nations is to control China's destinies in political and economic sense."
