Lenfaut. the French explorer, is about to leave on an other expedition to West Africa in order to discover, if possihle, a navigable waterway connecting Lake Chad with the coast of the Atlantic. In his former ex pedition of 1903-4 Capt. Lenfaut ascer tained that through waterway existed along the Niger, the Benue, the Mayo Kebbi. the Logone, and the Shark, but he was unable to follow it from the be ginning to end by boat as theMayo-Kebbi was found to be obstructed by rapids. His discovery however enabled the French government to abandon the difficult and costly Congo-Ubangi-Fortda Possel route for conveying supplies to the troops on lower Shari. The result of the expidition is awaited with a great deal of interest. GAMBLING lit SHADE OF GALLOWS (Scrlpps News Association) Pittsburg Pa.. Sept.7.
