River Loses Itself. The Swiss pretend to see in the French project chiefly the development | of the French River Isere, the Rhone's | greatest affluent, but lying wholly on French soil, and that the real improve- ment of the facilities of the Rhone, so far as affecting Switzerland is con- cerned, §§ a matter which is focussed 200 years away. Furthermore the fact is pointed out that just below Geneva the Rhone Joses itself in a hole in the ground| for a considerable distance only to come again to the light of day on the other side of a tunneled mountain. The prob- lem of making this natural river tunnel available for barge or canal boat traffic, is something which for the moment has not entered into the French scheme of things.

Would Profect Lake Leman. ‘The explanation of what direct com- munication of Switzerland with the out- side world by the Rhone waterway really means 1is clear.
