Paris, May 11.
The immediate construction of a råilway across the Sahara Desert, which had been planned for some time, is demanded in a memorandum published here yesterday by the "Committee for North Africa."
The memorandum, points out the vital importance of the line for the transport of French colonial troops to France and suggests that the construction should be undertaken by French Hailway and Pioneer Troops in case the French budget did not permit of additional expenditure for the project—Trens-Ocean.
