TO IRRIGATE SAHARA
FOR GROWING COTTON
France to Dam Niger and
Make Fertile the Desert.

PARIS, May 21.-An immense African
irrigation project to enable the French
colony to raise Frances cotton instead
of leaving the country dependent upon
the United States is contained In the bill
recently presented In the Chamber of
Deputies. 1t will require the expendi-
ture of about 250.000.000 francs for
damming the Upper Niger in the French
Sudan and irrigating three and three
quarter million acres. With the Niger
utilized between Bammako and Timbuc-
too 1t is calculated the yield will exceed
that in America.

Leonid Krassine, proud of his success
in negotiating the Anglo-Russian trade
agreement. Is now boasting in Helsing-
fors that he is negotiating with French
financiers In connection with conces-
sions in the Ural Mountains more valu-
able than those accorded the American
syndicate represented by Washington d.
Vanderlip, according TO the Helsingfors
correspondent Of the Echo de Paris to-
day.
Also he says the Soviet trade COM
missioner expects to open Bolshevist
bank in London within a year.
Krassine's report on the orders the
Soviet Government has placed In Lon
don. however. is considered as mediocre.
For Instance. the largest deal was for
100000 tons of herring, for which the
British allowed four years credit. On
the other hand, the Germans are ~
creasing their commercial activity in
Russia and at prices lower than those
the British quote.

In vermont's history of tragedies
there is no chapter more narrowing
than the fatal burning Of Hyde Park
woman and infan. and the woman's
niece in a fire which destroyed their
house as well as all the other buildings
on the farm last Sunday morning at
an early hour. Newspaper reports do
not make It at an clear how the fire
could have Originated in the barn and
become communicated TO the house,
where family of five were sleeping,
of whom the father and one small
child escaped by leap from a second
story window; and, therefore, an in
vestigation by the state insurance de-
partment would seem to be called for.
Moreover, an inquest into the triple
fatalities would not be an unreason-
able move.

An automobile carrying three men
ran against moving locomotive on a

during the early morning hours, in

gates might have halted the automo-

not have proven effective, for drivers
of motor vehicles have been known to
crash through even such barriers and
to plunge against trains. Some driv-
ers won't stop short of anything but
