FRANCE RESENTFUL OVER
THE RUSSO-CERMAN PACT

PARIS, January THE announcement
made by DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the
imperial German chancellor. Of an agree
ment between Russia and Germany in
principle to allow the prolongation of a
branch Of the Bagdad railway to Teheran,
has been received in France with great
dissatisfaction. According to the agree
ment made at the time of the granting or
the Bagdad concession, Russia was given
the sole right of constructing railways In
the north of Asia Minor within a zone of
SO many hundred miles from the Black
sea. This right enabled her to veto the
project of Baron de Courcel, who OBJ
tanned permission from the Turkish and
Persian governments for the construction
of a railway from Trebizond to Tabriz
via Erzerum and Khoi. In almost a
straight line. All the preliminary sur
veys had been made. the concession had
been promised and the original group
was about to found company when the
Russian government stepped In and exer-
cised the right of veto in virtue both of
the Black sea basin agreement and for
mer treaties with Persia giving Russia
priority. It consequently became neces-
sary to abandon the scheme. which was
expected to prove very prontapie ootn 10
