Arthur Pell, member of parliament
and the most eminent authority in
England on the subject of solving the
channel problem Is authority today
for the statement that the European
war has made imperative the build
ing OF a railway tunnel under the
channel He believes the project i'm
perative and has issued the following
statement:
we can only take the results OF
the war as We have found them. The
tunnel could have been used for the
transport of our expeditionary army
and stores which 1t could have car
ried with safety and the DELAY and
the expense Of the channel VOYAGE
would have been avoided. How many
millions of pounds this would have
saved We cannot vet calculate.
The supporters of the tunnel may
rest assured that on the termination
Of the war the matter will be pressed
forward without delay and this is one
OF the great works to look forward
to when peace is made. 1t will unite
us with France by the ties of increas-
ed friendship and commerce will fol-

munication"
The question has already been ta-
ken up in parliament and now rests
In the hands of the comittee of i'm
perial defense.

And then someone must grind It
Or 1t nevhr will be ground.

Just flashing out Its light.

SUBMARINE WARFARE
Earl ;,Selborne's Statement in Lin'
With Reports of Capture of
: Many .U-boats

London, Aug. 27.-"The' British
navy has the submarine menace well
in hand"; said Earl selborne in an
address here yesterday;
The: statement adds evidence: to
recent unofficial reports that large
number of submarines has been sunk
and captured by British naval vessels
during recent months.
While official reports have mention
ed the sinking of only one submarine
in addition to the announcement that
a British aviator had sent a submer-
inc to the bottom it is believed
that the hundreds of small craft
which are constantly patrolling Off
the cost have succeeded in accounting
for large number Of the raiders.
London, Aug. 27.-During the
week ending August 25, nineteen
British merchant vessels with 4 tot
al tonnage of $4,000 and three fish
ing vessels were destroyed by sub
marines or mines according to a
statement Of the board of trade.
