In the transport OF troops on his rail
way that the whole British army,
with its stores OF munitions. could
have been transported TO France
through the tunnel. fed and supplied
with It's re.enforcements without any
difficulty: and that In addition large
quantities OF coal and other materlai

Paris, and the wounded and men on
leave brought back To England:
The saving this would have erected

and safety for the troops, ana In care
and anxiety for the navy could not
be estimate but the amount OF ship

millions of tons. Lord Sydenham had
said that the military opposition had

that our armies would secure US q

even for fifty years, then so great was

Downs, or that our army would be

The committee. therefore. earnestly
hoped that Mr.. Asquith would now be
able to declare that the government
would support this proposal and also
brought In before the tunnel could
be commenced. If he did this, the
English and French engineers would
make their Anal plans in consultation
with the military advisers OF the two
governments, so that, ,the work might
be begun as soon after the war as

1t would take about six years to

settled down to peaceful work, and
that the tunnel would increase our

SACRED FOREST" is

vERDUN. France, Dec. 1o.-with
the close OF the war the entire line
OF trenches In France, extending from
Alsace to the Belgium border, may be
converted into a sort OF national
sacred forest, as a permanent tribute
to the memory OF the French ''poilus"
who died there defending their ma
tional soil.
A proposition to this effect has
just been prepared by the general
council OF the department of the
Meuse, and will soon be submitted to
the French government. The plan Is
to buy the battle-ground from the
farmers. Should this plan be finally
accepted, future generations, not only
OF France but OF the ontire world.
would always have the opportunity
of visiting the line of trenches over
GOO kilometers in length on which the
French threw back the tide OF Ger
man invasion at the battle OF the
Marne, and which till the end OF tho
war will always remain the basis OF
Frances military effort to rid her
soil entirely OF the enemy.
