New proof has Just been obtained that
French Sudan contains enough gold to
warrant prospecting on a large scale,
and Il is probable that the Ministry of
Colonies will next year grant subsidies
to several companies willing to under
take a search for the precious metal.
Last month ecore OF large nuggets of
almost pure gold were found. mostly by
native laborers, who were literally re-
warded for disclosing the area in which
the gold was found. The largest of
these nuggets weighed nearly eleven
pounds and the smallest four pounds and
ten ounces.
The Sudanese auriferous fields are
difficult TO reach. but In view Of the fact
that the colonial railroad project is to be
completed before 1925 French mineral

clare the Sudan will some day outriyal

huge nugget which they called tho "smil-

found TO be more than 30 per cent pure

to reports reaching here In Jerusalem
the allied troops are most Interested IN
teaching jewish maidens the latest Oc-

a great rate the ancient religious city.
In fact, It is said that with couples
whirling nightly in improvised dance
halls a few hundred yards from sacred
sites 1t Is difficult to maintain the sane
tity of Christianity's Eastern home. The
situation there Is considered so serious
that Pope Benedict XIV. has addressed
a protest In secret consistory against
the importation of worldly and sensual
pleasures into the city which should be
an inspiration to sinful old world and
lead It to better things.
However, as Papai authority has been
more or less relegated to the League OF
Nations and allied experts In SO Tar as
Jerusalem is concerned, and as the Pope
himself has struck a modern note by
introducing the cinema into the Vatican.
II Is believed here his protest Is not
likely to have much effect.
In Carlsbad everybody is "jazzing,''
but the Imperial Hotel there is the centre
of attraction. Stout old Bohemians at
first expressed preference for the gentle
Viennese waltzes of yore. but after fol-
