OIL AND. TRoubled WATERS
"Oil, ol!! To sell to Italy or not to sell!". That momentous question is being considered by the most politically-nstute minds of the nations of the world as they gather at the League of Nations palace in Geneva for the oil sanctions parley. As n result, the oil sanctions against Italy were postponed. At the left is Pierre Laval, ex-premier of France. Two men away is Anthony Eden, new British foreign secretary, and a diplomat who in looked upon as a brilliant man of destiny as a result of the cur rent crisia,

Germany Has Cheapest Quads
Kueps, Germany, Jan. 18. Erika, Anna Marie, Hen- rietta, and Marga, Germany's six-day-old girl Quads, are getting along nicely, thank
you.
They welcomed a corres- pondent at their village home in Kueps, near Coburg, to- day with yella that proved it. Father and Mother Zimmer- lein proudly confirmed the
news.
These are the cheapest Quads on record. Neigh- boura have provided clothes; the local panel pays medical expenses.
Their cradle is a large pillow; their nursery the room where they were born. Mother lies beside them, nurses them herself.

NEW LINES WILL SOON BE READY
Moscow, Jan. 20. Two great Soviet railway
construction schemes, of in- calculable importance in the delicate international situa- tion in the Far East, are nearing completion. They
are:
Moscow's answer to Japan's seizure of the Chinese Eastern trans-Siberian main line as far enstwards as Khabarovsk, hend- quarters of the Far Eastern Army on the Amur river, und
A new line from the rich coal- fields of Karaganda to the cop- per mines of Kanhard, near Lake-Balkhasli, eventually link- Ing Western Siberia to the Russian territories bordering Chinese Turkestan, a zone of Russian infiltration and a hot- bed of International intrigue.
The doubling of the strategic key Khabarovsk-Vladivostok- line through the Ussuri valley, about which the Bolsheviks are extreme. ly reserved, is also said to be near- ly finished. When it in, Russia will have repaired the worst damage done to her military com- munications with the Far East by the loss of the Chinese Eastern Railway.
On the Trausiberian tosin fine 1,250 miles of track have been inid in just over two years, The work has been done by hundreds of thousands of convicts supplied and supervised by the Ogpu under Incomparably harder conditions than those prevailing even in the earlier stages of the notorious White Sea-Baltic canal construc-

The Soviet Presa mentions that the prisoners, many of whom had never touched spade before, sometime worked long spells "hero- ically waist-deep in icy water." The temperature was often us low as 90 deg Fahrenheit of frost. At times, military bands played day and night to keep them at work,
