OF France could be brought Into the
country and employed In Its defense.
Furthermore. the Invention OF

The greatest advantage OF the
tunnel to England In case OF war
however, would be its usefulness In
bringing food supplies into the
country. The British population
depends for existence on food i'm
ported into the country from abroad.
England does not contain more than
sufficient food at ordinary times 10
support the population for more
than two months.
In time OF war, therefore. the
British navy must concentrate all
its force on preventing the enemy
from cutting or the ocean commerce
or England, Bat II the tunnel e1-
listed, food supplies could be brought
In from friendly country, and the
navy could be employed for a dis
tant attack Instead OF being tied up
In the work OF protecting the trade
routes.
All these considerations have final
ly broken down the old British preju-
dice against the unquestionably use
ful and feasible Channel tunnel. II
has been ascertaincd that toe great
majority OF members OF Parliament
are In favor OF the tunnel. The Law
has not vet been presented TO them,
hui the promoters OF the tunnel are
justified In regarding Its passage as
certain.
Even though the dangers OF fnva-
sion by the tunnel have been les"
sened, there will be ample means
provided for its defense. At The
English eud a section of the tunnel
will consist Of concrete valve
which can be turned by hydraulic
turntable mechanism so as TO block
the passage. Then there Will be a
for flooding the tunnel.
Each Of these mechanisms will be-
In command OF separate military
officer. In addition there VOL be

With all these detenses, IL ID CON-
,idered certain that an enemy could
lot invade England by making an
initial attack through the tunnel
rhe only possible method would bs
o make a surprise night attack by
.ir and sea upon the English end OF
he tunnel.' II the acsailants sue
'eeded IN selling the blocking
nechsnisms before they were put
n operation, 1t would be possible to-
ush $4,000 troops with field guns
through the tunnel In six hours.
This force would hold the ada
eut country against the English
rmy. while any desired force with
ull supplies was transported
hrough the tunnel. The possibility
I such an attack Is too remote ID
-eigh against the advantages OF the
lnnel.

sional committee which has charge Of the
campaign in congressional districts. Al

SEEKS LARGER SUPPLY
OF LONG STAPLE COTTON
Earlier Maturing Strains Being Dis
tributed by the Department
of Agriculture.

Earlier maturing strains OF long staple
upland cotton have been developed and
are being distributed by the Department
Of Agriculture according to statement
lust made by c. F. Cook, the binomonist
In charge of this work. What the de-
partment wants is to get the production
of this better long staple cotton on a
more permanent basis, so that the sup
ply will be larger and one on which the
mills can depend.
The department has been working on
the production of long staple upland cot
ton for years. and. while 1t is a crop
that brings good prices when it is first
class. it takes a great deal of care to
grow IL and keep the strain pure. Some
of the best OF the Egyptian cotton that
has been introduced In this country had
TO be raised under American climatic
conditions for several years before 1T
eoualed the cotton whence II was bred
from abroad.
One thing that has handicapped the
American farmer and manufacturer, too,
in giving the long staple cotton a foot
hold is that the Improvement in spin
ming machinery recently has enabled
American manufacturers to utilize much
short staple cotton that a few years ago
would have been thrown away. The
product is not as good as that from the
long staple variety. but IL necessitates
the use of special expensive machinery.
and where the manufactures is not as
sured of a steady supply Of the long
staple cotton the temptation naturally Is
tn use the cheaper sort. The department
off1cfals say however. that the planters
will have to grow the better cotton and
the manufacturers will have to buy IL If
this country is to maintain its present
foremost rank as producer OF cotton
fabrics.
