German. Tunnel Thru Hills.

Correspondence Of Associated Press.I
Paris, Jan. 81. The Frankfurter
Zeitung reports that the Germans have
pierced the hills from Joeuf in French
territory to Moyeuvre-la Grand in Lor-
raine to facilitate communications. The
tunnel has been completed In two
months work and, cost $4,000, 900. This
tunnel was long ago proposed by
miners and manufacturers in the iron
mining district of the valley of Briey
but opposed by the government for
strategical reasons. The execution of
the work by the Germans is taken as
indicating a determination on their
part to hold this rich mining country
at all hazards.

resources, developed and undeyel- oped, and that it would be calami- tous to pursue at this time a policy caluculated to dishearten public and private enterprise, and to arrest natural expansion.
 The United states is familiar with the complaint Of overouilding, oVei- expansion. The entire west has been admonished, cautioned, warn ed by the East against giving too much rein to its energies. The east or Canada is today admonishing, eau tioning, warning British Columbia along the old familiar lines. The fact is, however, British Columbia is doing precisely what thinking people throughout the two nations are wishing all the provinces and states would do. Nobody ques- tions the character of the improve ments the province is making. Ev- erybody admits, must admit, that the improvements must be made ii British Columbia would be prepared ;or the expansion that the growth of the entire Pacific Northwest will force upon it tonorrow, next day or the day after. And thoughtful peo- ple realize that 1t Is better to do quickly that which in any event must be done for the province inevitably. Not a mile will be add ed, they know, to the transporta- ton facilities of British Columbia that will not increase it's debt-bear- Ing and debt-paying ability. Not d mile will be added that will not enhance to some degree the value of every square foot and every acre of land now open or to be opened in the province to the home-seeker and home-maker.
 It is refreshing and encouraging to find British Columbia fighting back depression with enterprise, the most potent weapon it can use un- der the circumstances. If it Is going into debt, its debts will not be paid in the dull times that are upon Canada now, but in the good times that are coming. Because the province has not permitted its energies to flag or it's courage to fail in the period of business re cession, but, on the contrary, has been steadied and impelled by faith in itself, 1t will be all the better prepared for the return of prosperity, and It will not have i'm paired its credit by multiplying its assets.-C. s. Monitor.

EXPANSION OF BRITISH CoLUM

The premier, Sir Richard Mcbride. and the attorney-general. the Hon. ". J. Bowser. of British Columbia, are at variance with regard to the question of further employment of provincial credit in aid of railroad construction, and there is a poSsi- oility that this disagreement may lead to 8 serious breach in the con servatiye ranks. Sir Richard has long favored strongly policy Of de- velopment and MT. Bowser has until recently, been in thorough accord with him. This policy has had the ,.arm support of the British Colum- bian public. Situated as the province is. in quarter of the con ,ment that has only begun to feel tLe spur of enterprise, the impetus oI pioneer achievement, with Wash iugton, Oregon, Idaho and Montana to the south, with Yukon and Alas ka 10 the north and northwest, with possibilities undrsamed of . genera tion ago unfolding on every side, the British Columbians have been in re- cent years, as they are today, as con lident of the future as were the ,ransmisSissippi2ns of the seventies and eighties. And they have been banking on the future. What is more, they have lost nothing of thei faith in the future because of q depression in the present that has no real relation to British Colum- 6ia O. to the Pacific Northwest.
 British Colnmbia's credit has been pledged for some time to Canadian Northern railroad bond issues amounting approximately to $59,- OO0.00O. A proposal, favored by Ihe premier, to advance s7,000,000 oy way of loan to the Pacific Great Eastern railroad, now in pro- cess of construction from Vancouver 10 Ft. George, is the cause of the split in the government and in the party. Those in dissent, headed by Attorney-General BoHser, declare that the province is going into railway development beyond it's depth. The premier and his sup pOrters maintain that the resources Of the province have scarcely been scratched, that its obligations are infinitesimal compared with is
