ALLIED COMMISSION IS
REDRAWING EUROPE’S
RAILROAD MAP
|
I ROME, April 14. —Allied railroad
commissions today are preparing to
, redraw Europe’s railroad may. They
are already planning the destruction
o the allied dependence on the German
lines in the ‘‘war after the war.”
For example, a proposed railroad j
i connects Bordeaux with Odessa, avoid
ing Middle Europe and passing througn ;
Turin and the Italian-to-be Triest. I
Other lines, perfecting the development I
of allied territory, are also in pros
pect.
French and Unglsh railroad officials
are now in Italy, studying the situation
with allied officials. The commission
ers are making a careful tour of inves
tigation throughout the allied coun
tries, it is said, and work on the con- 1
templated lines will be rushed to
competion, as soon as the war ends. |

FISHING PARTY IS BACK
FROM FLORIDA EXPEDITION
The Americus fishing party compos
!ed of J. E. D. Shipp, J. E. Sheppard,
i Henry Shipp and W. M. Andrews, who
I have been spending the past several
I days; at St. Marks, Fla., have returned
home. The party enjoyed the trip and
I had plenty of fish to eat. They did
not make any large catches, however,
as they were fishing for sheep head,
and it is said that they were not biting
good. The sailor’s choice, which is a
much smaller fish, was plentiful. The
party all returned in good shape.
