BLOCKADE
 TO BALTIC COAST
French Admiral Would Wreck Kiel
 Canal to Attain Purpose

Paris, June 15.-The allies could extend their blockade to the German coast in the Baltic and neutralize the strategic advantages of the Kie1 Canal, according to Vice Admiral Degouy of the French navy.
 The first of the necessary operations to accomplish this, he points out, would be an attack upon the canal by an aerial force of 12O to 15o units divided into f1otillas of 20 to 30 ma chimes each. One of the f1Otillas would attack the bridge of GrunthaI. one the viaduct of Rendsburg. and another the bridge of Levansau. while three other f1otillas held in 1c1arve would repeat the attack after an in- terval of 24 to 40 hours The first fotillas would resume their attack after the time required for taking on fresh supplies and the reserve f1otilIas would follow again as before.
 Canal Vulnerable
 This continuity of attack from the air upon works known to be yu,ner- able by reason of the insta bilitv of the soil in certain places and the in- sufficient reinforcement of certain bridge heads after the enlargement of the canal, would Admiral Degouy de- clares, assure obstruction of sufficient duration; whatever defensive meas ures the Germans might take against these concerted attacks would not pre- vent fruitful results.
 While the base from which such air assaults might be made is only hinted at by Armiral Degouy, an op- eration speedily executed wot1ld, &C., cording to his theory make possible a landing at isolated points on the Ger man coast and it's sufficient fortiflca- ton so as fully to protect the es- tablishment of an immense aviation camp within 60 to 80 miles of the canal terminus.
 Plan Feasible.
 The forcing of the straits and mine fields would involve considerable losses from submarines and mines before the entente fleets would get into effective contact either with the German battle fleet or the defenses of the Elba, the Admiral declares, but he did not think this should be consid4 cred as prohibitive of the effort. Ad- miral Degouy discards the hypothe- sis that it would be possible to sur prise the German fleet under present conditions; it's mobility would be such that it could meet an attack at either

end of the canal, since it requires only twenty-four hours to pass through the Elba and the canal to the Grand Belt
 The entente allies could not put in to action 10 vessels of the line, of which seventy-six are dreadnoughts and twenty eight are protected cruis- CTS, against forty-four German dread noughts and three or four battle cruisers, according to the admirars estimate. The Russian fleet IS not included in these figures, but Admiral Degouy points out that even if the Russians could not join the British and French fleets they would. detach a certain number of the big German units so as to enable the allies to present at both ends of the canal simultaneously forces outnumbering the entire German fleet.
 Air Fleet Essential.
 This estimate takes no account of probable losses in approaching the po- sitions, and hence the admiral holds that effective operations of the air fleet on the canal is an essential con- dition of a successful attack. The forcing of the Grand Belt and the Langeland Belt in sufficient strength to blockade the ford of kiel and the forcing from west to east of the Fehrmann Belt, Admiral Degouy de- clares, is notwithstanding the mine field and submarines, far easier than the forcing of the Dardanel1es, and en- tirely feasible with the cooperation of an aerial fleet.

VAST SUM SPENT FOR TERMINALS
Western Railroads Appropriate
 $66,0OO,00O for Improvements

Chicago June 15-The sum Of s66,O0OO0O will have been expended by several of the great railroads op
 erating in the Chicago district when
 the new freight and passenger ter
 minals now under constructions are
 completed. The freight terminal
 will be finished in about six more
 months but it will take nearly three
 years to complete the passenger ter
 minal.
 The freight terminal will embrace
 laying trackage on a stretch cover
 ing 12 city blocks from Chicago river
 south to Twelfth street. The plans
 for the terminal were so arranged as
 to give a maximum speed and con-
 venience of handling freight with a
 minimum of ground space necessary for the buildings involved. The work is being done by the Pennsylvania lines, West, and will cost, for land acquired, building material and labor, approximately $16, 6,000,OOO and the finished work will be one of the great est accomplishments of it's kind in the history of modern railroads.
 The main aim of the builders was a terminal that would be so arranged as to eliminate street congestion in handling traffic and would make speedy and easy the handling of the enormous and steadily growing freight business of Chicago This re- suit will be accomplished by close grouping of the several parts of the terminal structure and by placing the railroad tracks below street level, with the freight house just above the tracks, at street level, with the above the freight house. The idea of plac- ing the component parts of the ter minal above one another was to save ground space and to make the hand ling of incoming and outgoing freight easy by system of powerful, mod ern-type electric elevators.
 Adjoining the freight house, and all under cover, will be eighteen tracks, which will accommodate 400 freight cars. Inclosed driveways will protect freight and freight handlers in all sorts of weather.
 One thousand mA have been work ing for about ten months some lay ing the heavy piling and concrete and some putting up the steel framework of the buildings. About 25 per cent. of the structural steel work remains to be finished. This will be in about six months and the total cost of labor, by that time, will, it is estimated, amount to about $1,5O0,OOO.
 The seel, brick, concrete, piling and terra cotta that will go into the buildings will cost about S2,5O0, 900.
 The structures will occupy a ground space of 450 by 75O feet between Polk street on the north, and Taylor street )n the south, between the Chicago 'iver and what was once Stewart ave- lue. Acquisition of the ground thus lsed cost the railroad company S12,- 100000.
 The union passenger terminal, on which preparatory work has begun and which will be completed in about 1 .hree years, will cost about $50,OOo,- DO and will be the finest railway l passenger station in the world, it's | projectors say. It will be built and | occupied by the Chicago, Milwaukee | & St Paul, the Pennsylvania, and the l
