drcd million, aIl-American army which the Germans
dread.
One Of the most significant uttcrances made during
the entire war made by prominent German official
when America cast her lot with the allies:
eve do not fear the American soldiers because they
cannot arrive in time; what fear the intelligence and
devotion Of one hundred million Americans trained to
faith in individual initiative The day that those hundred
millions act one, that day is Germany's DOOM"
Today Germany is fighting with a new and more
desperate energy because she fears that the American SOL
dlcrs will arriVcr in time.
But Germany still refuses to believe that our hundred
million people will "act as one"
How we prove it to her? How can we strike to
the heart Of the Hun? How can we convince the kaiser
that the day Of his doom approaches?
That way is to lend our money to our country.

Route Of proposed Paris -Dakar Railway,

AoNLG OF proposed FGTIS"SaNaT nGiiNS
/ the distance from New York to Sar
! IFrancisco-is estimated at three
Edays. Now it is seven by sea. The
journey by rail from London to
| Capetown, of about 1900 miles, is
estimated to take eight days. The
London -Capetown journey would be
but little longer than the present
| Trans Siberian line.
The project for the Paris -Dakar
route has been worked out by a
French engineer, Henri Bressler, and
when it was presented to the French
congress on civil engineering last
spring it was favorably reported by
that body. 1t has been recommend
ed to the French minister Of public
works; and some preliminary inves-
tigation has been undertaken by the
Spanish government. The railroad,
1875 miles long along the west
border of the Sahara desert, con-
Meeting the north African port of
Tangier with the key port of Dakar,
has been taken UP by a great French
railroad company, which has appiled
for the concession.
Main Points of BressIer's Plan.
M. Bressler's report to the con-
gress on civil engineering puts the
main points of the plan briefly:
ut suffices to glance at a sphere to
see at once the privileged situation
from the point OF view of world traf-
fic OF a tunnel under the Strait or
Gibraltar which in joining again
Europe and Africa would bind the
transcontinehtaI lines Of Asia and
Europe with the trans Sahara and
trans African lines in construction
or projected.
"Thus at not distant time one
will be able, passing through the
tunnel, to traverse three continents
without crossing the sea. One will
be able to go from Petrograd, from
Peking even, by railroad to Morocco.
From Brussels one will be able to
take a train which will go to the
Congo in five days, from Paris the
trip to Senegal will be made in three

Northeast Fuel
Supply ASSURED

Figures just made public by Colo
mel F. A. Pope, in charge of the Du-
luth and Superior harbor works,
show that the northwest will have a
plentiful supply Of bituminous coal
and fair amount of anthracite coal
this winter. IS
During the last summer 11,39O,913
tons Of both kinds reached the docks.
This marks a slight falling off in an
thracite shipments with p decided
increase in the bituminous coal re-
ceived.
A steady increase was shown dur
ing the summer. The June ship
ments were 1,121,3 800 tons, while in
October 2,655,074 tons arrived.
The amount of soft coal handled
amounts to nearly nine times that of
the hard coal. In 1918, 9,721,440 tons
of bituminous coal were unloaded as
against 1.699.473 tons of anthracite.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1918-12-19

! days, from London, once the tunnel
under the channel is finished, it will
be possible to go to the Transvaal in
seven days without change OF
| trains.
''The new route, the shortest and
the most rapid to the continent OF
South America, will give immediate
results in intensifying commercial
relations between Europe and the re-
Ipublics OF South America. Starting
from Paris and passing through
Bordeaux, Madrid, and the subma-
rine tunnel, it will run in a straight
line to Dakar. One will be able to
make the journey from Paris to
Rio Janeiro in seven days; from
Paris to Montevideo and Buenos
Aires in eight days: from Paris to
Santiago in ten days over the trans
Andine IiAe which connects Chile
and the Argentine republic. The time
Of the present journey will be re-
duced by about one half" 4
There are three parts Of this
project, each stupendous enough:
The railway along the west coast of
Africa, from Tangier to Dakar, is
the least difficult Of the three, and
the one for which the least trouble
for the necessary capital is expected.
Aside from this there is the tunnel
under the strait, which it is esti-
mated would cost about $50,000,000,
and the building of the port of Dal1ar
for great port of entry, where the
first expenditures are put at $22,-
600 900.

France Projects Rail Line From Paris
To Dnka7, On The W est Coast Of A Africa

Paris, Dec. 19.-(Special.l Berlin
to Bagdad as great railroad trade
| route for the benefit of the central
powers is no more. While the rail-
way will remain and be developed
and completed, 1t will not be as
German enterprise nor serve the
purposes Germany intended. 1t was
a daring undertaking in railway con-
struction and followed the even
greater labors of the Russian Trans
Siberian system.
Now the French are seriously con-
sidering a railway development on a
vast scale, and one which Is more
startling in its possibilities and in
the changes it would bring about.
1t is called the Paris-Dakar route,
and it would link the capital of
France with Dakar in Senegal, the
extreme westerly point of the Afri-
can continent. It involves for it's
complete realization a tunneling of
the narrow but extraordinarily deep
channel of the Strait of Gibraltar.
Lines projected across the Sahara
would link this system with the
partly built Cape-to- Cairo route, and
with the Dover Calais tunnel in
oNeration the traveller from London
could visit the furthest south of
British possessions without leaving

Direct Route to South America.

UiFeer Houte 70 South America
The Paris-Dakar route, however

France with her large African pos
sessions. 1t would provide the most
