BOSTON HARBoR TUNNEL OPENS
Mile and a Quarter Long, Built in
Four Years For $3,S0O,OOO.


Boston, MasS,-The tunnel under Bos-
toni arbor, a mile and a quarter long,
connecting the subway with surface
car lines in East Boston, was officially
opened at noon. when a train of five
cars was run through It and back
again. Governor Bates. State and city
officials. the Transit Commission, I'M
der whose direction the tunnel was
built: officials of the Boston Elevated
Railway Company, who will operate
it, and visiting railroad men made up
the party of inspection.
Everything went smoothly. and the
tunnel was pronounced a success by all.
The trip, which is made in four and
one-half minutes, means q saving of
from fifteen to twenty minutes in
reaching East Boston from Scollay
Square, heretofore accomplished by
means of electric cars to the water
front and then by ferry across the har-
Dor.
The construction work has taken
more than -four years. The tunnel Sec
ton. which is built entirely Of twisted
steel rods and concrete, is considered
by experts as one of the greatest sub
marine tubes in the world.
Construction work was begun on
May 5, 1900. The approximate cost
was $3,300,00O.

Drink and War.

Recent dispatches from the seat Of war
inform us that omen indulgences IN drink
by the Russians had assumed such apDal-
ling dimensions that General Kuropatkin
had issued stringent orders prohibiting the
sale of liquors. This is very significant,
and who will say that the abstemious char
acter of the Japs has not had much to do
with their bravery and endurance during
che present campaign!
The Russian general evidently has come
to. realize what the history of all recent
wars teach-that drink is not only unneces-
sary but injurious to soldiers i'll the per
Torrance of their arduous work. Sir Eve
lyn Wood, in 1882, testified: "~Throughout
the Crimea these were the best and health
lest sailors and soldiers who did not touch
Intoxicating drink" A few years later,
Lord Wolseley wrote: ffThere are yet some
great enemies to be encountered by the
United Kingdom. But the most pressing
enemy is drink. 1t kills more than all our
newest eapon Of warfare, and not only.
destroys the body but the mind and soul
also" The Ashantee War, the famous
Red River expedition, and not SO long ago
the series of brilliant and decisive achieve
ments in the Soudan campaign OF 1893 by
Lord Kitchener and his troops were ac-
complished on nothing stronger than water.
And nave we not the authority of the field
marshal that those wonderful British
marches in the South African camDa!gn
were accomplished through the remarkable
steadiness of the troops?
