Moscow's Reply to Seizure Of Chinese Eastern Rly.

OIL AND TROUBLED WATERS

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

rent crisis.

Abyssinian war, but they agree in foreseeing difficulties for Signor Mussolini.

Luce Vidi, a French Madame clairvoyant, prophesies a good year for the League.... Unlike most other. prophets, she does not believe that the Abyssinian war will drag on indefinitely.

The only astrologer in France who appears as such on the com- mercial register, K Senegalese named Lodia, says that the stars are favourable to M. Laval, Mr. Eden, and Haile Selassie, but he

cannot say with certainty whether

they will be favourable to Signor Mussolini, since he does not know whether the Italian dictator was born before or after noon on July 29, 1883. If he were barn before noon the stars would be unfavoura- ble to him.

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 yells that proved it. Father and Mother Zimmer- lein proudly confirmed the

news.

These are the cheapest Quads on record. Neigh- bours 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.

Gruff, able Dr. Wettler, village doctor, says: "I re- fuse to mollycoddle them. They are fine, healthy, normal children. I treat them so,”.

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 Enstern trans-Siberian main line as far eastwards as Khabarovsk, hend- quarters of the Far Eastern Army on the Amur river, and

A new line from the rich conl- fields of Kataganda to the cop

per

mines of Kanhard, near Lake Balkhash, eventually Unk 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 is, Russia worst will have repaired the damage done to her military com- munications with the Far East by the loss of the Chinese Easterii Railway.

On the Transiberian main line 1,250 miles of track have been laid 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 cartier alages of the notorious White Sea-Baltic canal, construc- tion.

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

TENOR'S GIFT ΤΟ ITALY

Rome, Jan. 15.

the Italian Benjamino Gigli, tenor, has handed over to the Fan- clat Party the whole of his gold cups, medals and awards gained in concerts and competitions in all parts of the world,"

He has also surrendered his gold rings, many of them given to him by distinguished people of all pa- tions.Exchange.
