MARSEILLE, July 2.-Set a city on the
edge of the sea. Cut her off from in
land development by circle of hills
5000 feet high, on the other side of
which is .he finest and cheapest sys-
tenn Of inland waterway transporta-
ton th. world knows. Show her that
If she can link the interior canals to
>at sea by a water tunnel she will add
UNNECESSARILY to her prosperity, and
what is the answer?
I'VE will cut through the hills" that
city will say.
No doubt the Phoenicians said that
when they first settled Marseille, if
they were. indeed. the very first set
time taken Marseille in the 5000 years
of her known history. No doubt they
all said it. When Napoleon 1 reigned
in France he found this project in ex-
istence as an inheritance from the past.
1t was the France of today which had
the imagination and the courage to do
the work. 1t would be a great feat in
times of peace. To do it in wartime is
more worthy of pride than the winning
of a battle. When the project is com
pleted it is anticipated these things will
be accomplished:
"Marseille will be made the greatest
port in Europe, it is now in France
1T will be tremendous asset to the
allies in the fight against German trade
supremacy which will follow the war"
Project of Three Parts.
The project is to be considered as a
whole, made up of three parts. The first
is the cutting of four miles of tunnels
through the range of hills, thereby
making possible the construction of a
canal fifty-one miles long, from Mar
se1lle to Aries on the River Rhone,
which gives access to Frances network
OF canals. The second part is in gain
ing access to the Etang Of Berre, one of
the largest salt water lakes in the
world. with depth of water for the
largest freighters and completely land
locked. The third is in the improve
alone will cost 400. 00O.0 900 francs
But where are the men," we asked
AZ the ceremonies which marked the
cutting away this week of the last
earth barrier in the tunnel
Because there were no men practi-
cally speaking. Here and there in the
four dark miles of that tunnel we had
seen sohtary men running rock ma
chimes or pumping engines. Before the
war 1000 navvies had been at work
here. At the Rhone end, where NJ. Mar
eel Sembat, minister of public works,
delivered congratulatory address,
tnere were perhaps $50 men to cheer,
instead OF the massed thousands one
might not unnaturally expect.
Zone to the war;" was the reply
1t helped us to understand the ire
mendous task France has accomplished.
Another thing that helped in this ap-
probation was in the statement of
well informed official as to this depart
ment OF public works which had had in
charge the building of the tunnel.
Before the war there were 800 en-
gfneers In the department." said he.
one hundred of them have been killed

whether the war is ended or not"

whether the war is ended or not"
On the water side Marseille's config-
uration is so broken that it has been
impossible for her to create a solidly
built manufacturing quarter. With
plenty Of cheap raw material at hand.
and with an industrious population ac-
customed to work at low wages, she
has been unable to overcome her double
handicap. Carriage from the water side
to factory in Marseille costs more
than the sea freight from Philadelphia
to Marseille. The railroad freight
across the range of barrier hills has
been so high that she has been unable
to compete as fully as she would like
with her trade rivals. Both these ditfi
culties are to be overcome by the canal
project.
"The canal" according to an author
ity. will give Marseille access by
barges of 600 tons each to 33I miles OF
navigable waters on the Rhone and
the Great Saone, and through the Bur
gundy canal and those of the Seine re-
gion to the extreme north of France.
1t will link the English channel and
the Mediterranean sea.
Its Possibilities Are Vast.
1t will be possible to load seagoing
lighters of 1900 tons at Aries on the
Rhone and tow them across the sea to
their African ports of destination. This
advantage is sufficiently obvious Add
to it the fact that the canal will throw
open to seagoing ships the Etang of
Berre, one of the largest salt water
lakes in the world. Locked behind the
hills. it could shelter the navies of all
the world and give each ship, sea
room. Napoleon planned to open it to
the Mediterranean through the narrow
channel at Martigues. as warproof
harbor for his ships. Around it's bor-
ders it is planned to erect factories.
Raw material can be taken into the
factory and the finished product loaded
directly on shipboard.
'"The American plan," said a compli-
mentarily inclined official, 'is being
followed in the Improvement of the port
of Marseille."
Great basins are being constructed
by the use of the refuse from the tun-
mel of the Rove and the Rhone canal.
In their jetties freight warehouses and
railroad yards are to be built. so that
freight can be tranSShipped directly to
railroad cars and barges for the up
country canals, thus saving the enor-
nous item of carriage and Ighterage.
The work is admittedly going slowly
now. The wonder is that it is going at
all The working force on the harbor
works seemed to consist largely of old
men and boys too young for service in
the army But with cheap inland
freights on the one side and cheap sea
freight on the other, Marseille from
the midst of disaster is able to foreSee
prosperity.
IF the war is ended by 1915" say her
citizens, I'VE will be ready.

was to learn whether the Justice would
accept should he be nominated on the

burly. free-for-all political maneuvering
Wickersham. II was learned on un-
questioned authority. told Justice
Hughes his nomination was inevita Bile
provided he would show the least sign
that he would accept. The Justice re-
fused absolutely to give an unequivocal
yes. He also refused to say he would
turn the nomination down.
But Wickersham. II is declared. drew
the impression" from his talk with
Hughes. that the latter would accept
and make the fight.
Accordingly. he communicated his

refused openly to talk about his atti-

determine what per cent of the Pro-

Wickersham was asked about the
possible influence OF the hyphen vote
on the Republican ticket and his at
tention was called to the fact that the
German American Alliance and the
German newspapers were supporting
Hughes.

Il do not like to consider the POSI-
bility OF the hyphen vote. The Ger
man Endorsement on top OF Hughes
speeches Is probably due more to the
wish then the expectation.
Il want to lay particular emphasis on
the fact that Mr.. Hughes speeches

governor and before the question OF
primary allegiance to Germany and
secondary allegiance to the United
States on the part OF the hyphenates
had been considered. I repeat. the

comfort in the nomination of Mr.
Hughes"
