dangerous than exhibits Of the dry

correct. It has been possible for the
medical staff to examine only 53o,179
out Of the entire number, but Of these
23O,432 were found to have the or

percentage the defective total would
reach 617,247-

France and England to
Discuss Plans to Build
Tunnel Under Channel

Paris. France, Aug. Apparently
the tunnel beneath the English chan
mel. which divides England from
France, is not the wildcat scheme that
we have been led to suppose. I learn
this week that a number OF French
members Of the senate have agreed to
visit London to confer with members
OF the English parliament on the sub
Ject This looks like business
N Charles LeboucQ, deputy for Paris,
who has received the invitation. says
that in his opinion the project is near
realization In France, he says. public
opinion is in favor Of the tunnel He
points out its advantages to both coun-
tries and scouts the idea that it could
De used by either nation as a means
Of attack.
The means Of transit today, Is, of
course, by steamship. and the journey
OF about p miles usually takes from
one and half to two hours
Should the tunnel ever become an
accomplished fact the crossing would
be reduced to something under half an
hour a1c would dispense with the te-
dious waste OF time entailed in the
train.

NEWSPAPERS

News of Ulster Trouble Is

MANY WILD STORIES

By HERBERT TEMPLE.

z ONDON, Eng, August 1t is a
peculiar feature of English news
papers that not one Of them can
be regarded as possessing independent
views on political subjects. Each one
is so strongly Unionists Liberal, or
Labor, as the case may be, that it is
difficult for the American visitor to
this country to form any idea Of the
political situation BY an exhaustive Pc
russl Of the newspapers, no matter if
he reads the views OF both sides.
Rarely has this condition Of things
been more pOtently emphasized than
in the case Of the Ulster trouble. It
has been shot for shot between the
Unionist and Liberal journals and often
cartridges that have made the loudest
noise have been blank True it is if

enough guns Of all kinds and ammu-

Many wild Stories

guns 5000 rifles and 500, 600 rounds Of
ammunition have been landed for the
Ulster forces at some bleak and OBJ
scure spot on the irish coast; the next

Smuggling Stories Denied.
Equally circumstantiaI are the stor-
les Of the wholesale smuggling into
Ireland Of guns and ammunition, de-
signed for the Nationalist, from Amer
lea and just as quickly are these re-
ports denied in the Tory journals It
is a comedy that would be amazing
in the extreme If the situation were
not so critical and tragic Recently
at a port on the east coast OF England,
ball cartridges were discovered inside
bags Of cement which were being
shipped to Ireland. The Unionist news
papers knew at once that they were in

Radical papers were Just as certain
that the bullets were for Ulsterite
