Border Crux Adds Fuel.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1925.
PARIS, November 22.-The corre-
spondent Is reliably informed that Sir
Austen Chamberlain, British foreign
minister, is alarmed at the present
condition of Franco italian relations,
and has formally proposed to the
French Government that a meeting be
held in the near future Of Premier
Mussolini Of Italy, Foreign Minister
BRAND Of France, Foreign Minister
Stresemann Of Germany and himself
to discuss all outstanding questions.
The logical place for such meet
ing, he feels, would be Paris, but 1t
Is known that Mussolini is not willing
to leave Italy and the psychological
situation is not such that the others
desire to honor Mossolini by going to
some Italian city.
The British seem, therefore, in
clined to favor an Italo-Swiss frontier
town, perhaps at the close of the
next session Of the League of Nations
Council early in December.
The French are delaying reply
to Chamberlain's proposal. Frontier
incidents and the Garibaldi affair have
indisposed French opinion to discuss
possible concessions to Italy at the
present time.
Today's newspapers report that
party Of French tourists, including
four men, three women and a boy,
who crossed over the Alps, intending
to stay a night in the first Italian
hamlet and return next day to the
French side, were arrested and i'm.
prisoned Is days by the Fascists.
They were stripped and searched,
their fingerprints were taken and
knives and cameras confiscated, and
they were released only after diplo-
matte representations.
Such occurrences are unprecedented
in Europe in peace time, when facili-
ties are always accorded to tourists
in the mountain regions to make
bona fide excursions back and forth
in the high zone between frontier sta
tions without moleStation.

RECLAMATION WORK
IS URGED BY MEAD
Commissioner Announces 10-Year
Tentative Program, Affecting
Some Old Projects.

Need for a construction program Is
apparent to all familiar with existing
conditions, Edwood Mead, commits
sioner of reclamation, declared today
in announcing a 10-year tentative
program, prepared by the Interior
Department for completing existing
projects.
Several projects are unfinished.
millions of dollars invested in dams
and headworks are bringing no re-
turn and will not until distribution
works are built" Mr.. Mead said
Costly projects recently undertaken
should be pushed to completion so that
waiting settlers may have water to
cultivate their farms. 1t will require
all the income of the Reclamation
Bureau for the next 10 years to COM
plete existing projects.
Meantime extreme pressure is be.
ing exercised to have the department
approve new and additional projects.
If this should be done the effect would
he to secure small appropriations for
SO large a number of projects as to
add greatly to the overhead in con-
struction, delay the completion of
projects and postpone delivery to set
tiers of water needs In irrigation. 1t
IS the department belief that exist
ing projects should be completed be-
fore new ones are undertaken.
The department has prepared a
tentative program for doing this. 1t
is submitted to Congress for it's con-
sideration in the hope that it will at
least show the need for such a pro-
gram. The yearly expenditure con-
templated in this program is about
81 900 900 in excess of the average
construction income for the past five
years and is all that can safely be
anticipated for the next 10 years."

under the cloak of blood purifying
rites" while they were girls in the
colony.
He repeated the assertion of his
followers that he is being prosecuted.
He declared he is the brother of

in a short time there will be witness

complaints have been heard of late
in the press against Alsatian dogs as
being subject to sudden fits Of snap
pishness and not reliable with young

enhanced by stories Of their faithful

IL musical director.
On entering his bathroom he turned
on the faucet and at the same time
switched on the electric light with
his other hand. Owing to defective
insulation. he received a shock and
was unabl to let go. Tommy, his

and received shock, but his leap
was so fierce that it bowled Mr.. Lener
