"AND OVERLAND ROUTE TO
BRITAIN,
CALCUTTA TO LONDON BY RAILWAY.
It is hardly realised, says The English- me, what a surprising amount of work has recently been quietly and apostenta- tiously done by British engineers in the way of forging the links which will pre- sently connect the Indian with the Euro- pean railway aystems. Work is being pushed
on in saveral sections at once, and all the indications are that in a few years, provided political complications do not. it will be possible to buy a railway occur, ticket in Calcutta for London,
Before the war the position was that the nearest point of the Indian railway system to any system connected with the European railways was at Now Chaman in Baluchistan. This point was only 300 miles from the Kursk extension of the to- Russian Central Alan Railways. fortunately, that 300 miles Ing through Afghanistan, and there was no hope in those days that the Afghans would ever permit the connection to be made
Behemes to connect Indie with the Russians lines through Persia and with the German controlled Bagdad Railway were being examined when the war broke out, Whother, in view of international jealousica, these schemes would have come to anything remains to be seen. At any rate when the war started the Germans were very busy on their Bagdad project of which they had already built several large sections. On the outbreak of hosti lities they redoubled their activities, for it was their intention to make use of this line in order to invade India. Our cam- paign in Mesopotamia took them, by sur prise, but the disasters of 1916 gave both the Turks and Germans further heart, and
it was not till we had captured Bagdad

and pushed on to Mogul that the Germans A Beauty Gift
abandoned their work on the line Bati the greater part of it had by then been completed. There was only one break of 120 miles
But no sooner had the British got to Bagdad than arrangements were made to connect Basra by rail with Bagdad. Originally the intention was to work the Tigris, and a metre gange. line was laid between Hasrs and Amarah and Kut and Bagdad. Later surveys, however showed the best route was up the Euphrates, and work on this route is now being pobed on very fast. It is hoped that in a month or two through trains will be running bo tween Basra and Bagdad. Work is also being done on the broken link above Mosul; so that Bara people, at least, will shortly be able to travel to Europe by train
The above facts are generally known, but it is not generally known that similar railway activity is taking place in Persis. Though from time to time statements inve appeared about the Nushki Seistan exten- sion the rail bead of which is now in the vicinity of Nasirabad, the fact that the British are building a line, from Bushire to Shiraz has entirely escaped notice. The line is now about fifty miles out of Bushire, and will, it is said, eventually pass through Kerman to join the. Nushki line. When that happens, two days by ben will take a railway traveller from India to Basra, where he will catch a train which will carry him all the way to France.
We understand that a survey has aready been made for a line from Bushire up the head of the Gulf to Mohammershi and Basta. If this line is constructed even the two days by sea will disappear. Perhaps by that time the Channel Tunnel will also be complete. In any case we are Dearer today than we ever have been to an overland railway route between India and Europe.
THE FOURTEEN POINTS, BTORY OF M. CLEMENCEAU'S

An anonymous article in Echo de Paris purports to narrate the circumstances under which President Wilson'a unfor tunate Fourteen Pointe came to be'accept- ed by the Allies. The score described by the writer occurred in M. Bishop's

Mr. Lloyd George, addressing Colonel House in connection with the armistice terms, said he took it that the negotiations with Germany which the American Government was disposed to enter into were subordinate to the accept auce by the Allies of the principles and of peace that bad been defined Colonel House replied in the

M. Clemenceau interposed: "Ah, Fourteen Articles! I haven't read them yet. Let us hear what they are." The famons articles were read over, one, by
On the reading of the second article, which dealt with the question of the free dom of the sens, Mr. Lloyd George raised formal objections. Further reserven were expressed in regard to Articles 7, 3, and 11, which deal with the question of ze parations
