The English Channel Tunnel.

(FrOrt The Boston H'"'u'i
More than forty years have passed since
the British Foreign Office expressly approved
the idea of constructing tunnel uhoer '"'
channel for railway communication between
England and France. But less than ten years
later. when the question was submitted 10
o-,;amentarv committee, the military au-
thorities took the negative SIDE on s'ra'es''
grounds, and the consequence was an uhlaVoi-
able report by the committee. Many p'ls lor
Tho bu;lding of a channel tunnel were supse-
oueutlv introduced only TO be rejected at the
instance of the government of the day. Inc
last occasion was in 1907, after an inquiry py
the committee Of imperial defence.
But in August, 1918, Mr. Asquith promised
fresh investigation. He arranged TO nave
the question fully reconsidered, hrst by the
War Office, the Admiralty and the BOARD o'
Trade. and finally, when their reports "eic
presented, by the Imperial Defence commit
tee Had the time given to investigation peen
given to construction, Britain would IN Au.
pust 1914. have been more favorably situated
than she was for the safe and speedy trans
portation Of her troops to France.
This being generally admitted it Is but
natural that a. member of the House of Com

that "the progress of the war has demon,
strated the great advantages whlch wouiu
have accrued to the Allies if there had been
a railway tunnel beneath the channel, and
nlans should be prepared so that the work
can be begun Immediately the war Is over
Surely there is ample reason to believe that
the military authorities will no longer object
to the scheme. The bogie Of French lnva'
sion of England is as dead as Napoleon
Friendship between Britain and France has
stood the test of more than century The
two nations have twice been comrades in war
and have proved their mutual fidelity to the
utmost.
In the fire of the present war they have
been so welded that their parting seems i'm
possible The proposed tunnel would be but
an additional tie of friendship and guarantee
of good will.

Hope of a Compromise.

timed efforts to effect a settlement OF the
strike may or may not represent serious
obstacle to peace. The conference no"
in session is real advance from the
earlier independence of the operators, and
its results will surely count in the long
run. whether prompt agreement Is
reached or not.
The efforts of the manufacturers to eX-
clude every suggestion of public paruci-
patton in the negotiations are fatuous, to
say the least The public is already
deeply participating in the strike. 1t Is
contributing on an increasing scale to the
support of the starving strikers, and II
proposes to stand by until justice is done
That is the obvious and necessary conse-
ouence of the operators throwing over
board the principle of arbitration, and
the sooner the operators appreciate tins
fundamental error on their part the bet
ter for every one concerned. There can
be no prolonged peace in such an industry
without an arbitration agreement.
The union representatives did well to
insist upon the public's right to know
what goes on in conference, and they can
count on the public's support in every
fair-minded effort to obtain a return to
equitable and settled conditions.

tional point of view. All interests, organized
and individual, must be compelled to con-
form to a common standard for the common
good.
In modern organization we recognize the
efficiency of the era. Our antiquated polit-
cal machinery was so constructed by thir-
teen sovereign colonies as to give each and
every colony the maximum of power. This
is the direct antithesis of what should obtain
in an efficient and effective national govern
ment. We have outgrown provincialism.
Trade, commerce. labor, our social existence
are national in scope. Our government must
be so reorganized as to meet the needs of
the people under these changed conditions.
Sectional laws conflicting with national in
terests must be made uniform. Individual
ism must delegate its power to more elastic
Federal government, but the functions of gov
ernment must be so automatically controlled
as TO be always responsive and accountable
to the governed. In this way responsibility
will not be so largely distributed as to per
nit the abuses due to individualism and the
invisible government.
In short, we need to apply the efficient sys-
tenn of big business to government. In times
of peace, irrespective of threatening war,
this concerns the obscure citizen far more
than big business. For, as our government
derives it's just powers from the consent OF
the governed, it is he who rules. If he would
do so WELL let him first think.

Sure Cures for InfantIe Paralysis.

Benevolent and unquestionably dislnter-
ested readers have been offering The Tr'D-
une great variety of proposals for the
treatment and control of poliomyelitis.
Hydrotherapy, vegetarianism, sugar and
eggs, faith, salt water and vast number
of other things are suggested with great
confidence, the letters usually beginning:
"Infantile paralysis, in my opinion, is bred
from the same source as summer CON-
plaint"; or, "The prevailing epidemic Is
believe, a form of grip; or, 1.-The present
plague can easily be arrested by following
these simple rules; or, This epidemic is
largely psychological etc.
1t is not possible and it would clearly be
improbable to publish all these interesting
opinions or guesses. They come for the
most part from well-meaning people who
make no pretence whatever to the slightest
experience and many of whom are quite
willing to admit that they have never
treated or even seen case in their lives
It is interesting to observe that the most
dog1natic are not at all embarrassed IN con-
Tossing their ignorance, and the assurance
that a great deal of thought and labor has
been expended in studying the disease does
not impress them in the least. They smile
patiently at all doubts about their qualih-
cations and proceed to descant upon the
virtues of their invaluable remedies.
Most of these people in ordinary times
make up the rank and file Of the societies
Of anti-yaccinists, anti-vivisectionists and
so forth. They have profound dlstrust
in pathologists, bacteriologists and physi-
clans. They believe that the whole med;-
cal profession is in a conspiracy against
common sense, and that the doctors are de-
termined to encourage illness in the world
because it is by illness they make Their
living. 1t is therefore quite natural that
they should disregard all professional at
tempts to solve the problem of poiomyelitis,
quite natural that they should be very
eager to cure the world in their own way.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to treat
them with the consideration they demand.
They can hardly express more disagree
ment with the views of the orthodox than
they do with one another, and to let them
all have their say would be confusing, even
;f II were otherwise desirable, which it
is not.

WHY NOT STAY CLEAN!
A Plea That the City's War ON Dirt Be
Continued.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The statement Of Mayor Mitchei III
to-day's paper regarding the plague Is 10 DC
appreciated. What he says about the disease
itself and the plans he makes known whieh
the city will use to cope with its spread are
important. The message should reach every
ear.
But why should a war on dirt cease after
the paralysis outbreak ends? Why enforce
cleanliness only for this period! IL is pre-
sumed the germ of this disease originates
and thrives in garbage, rubbish and dir'
heaps. We know for certainty that othei
diseases do come from cumulated refuse
The safety first" plan then would be to take
advantage Of this moment and retain Tor all
time any stringent sanitary rules and regu
lations we now make. -,
During the present epidemic woman VIII

Street flushing, the disposition OF garbage
and waste and all health ordinances now nave

maintenance of proper living conditions IN

first claims laid on every housekeeper.

Some Kentucky Hints for Busy Housewives
Brooklyn, July 10, 1916.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Shakespeare says that ignorance is the
curse of God, and that order is heavens hrst
law. Then intelligence and order are two
very necessary factors in the economy Of life.
This is true of every occupation under the
sun. then. to be successful. Especially is
this necessary for the busy housewife who
is overburdened with household affairs and
responsibilities.
Now, there is no better way TO learn the
true from the false than by contrast. | have
selected two neighbors, farmers wives, FOR
illustration. A short time ago we went to
visit Mrs. II. When we arrived and entered
the house everything seemed to be in confu-
sion, all was disorder. Mrs. H. invited me to
sit down if could find room. "Oh. Mrs. f.,

The Dangers of the Festa.
nr of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: On July IA, IS and l6 the Italians of
this city celebrate their festival known as
the Feast of Our Lady Of Mount Carmel.
Upon this occasion great hordes OF people
are massed together in our most greatly con-
gested districts, especially in the Italian col
ony in the vicinity of Mulberry Street in
Little Italy" in Harlem, and in the Italian
settlements in The Bronx. This celebration
is accompanied by a parade, including men,
women and children that come from Astoria,
parts of Connecticut and Long Island. They
bring their children with them, crowding the
streets and sleeping in the parks at night.
They feed the little ones with the foodstufs 5
sold by INSCRIPTIONS merchants, who are
bent on making money regardless OF the pub
lie health.
| am very much afraid that, in view OF the
present epidemic of infantile paralysis, this
herding together of large masses OF people
and children in dirty streets will greatly tend
TO the spread Of the disease and the increase
of its fatality
We trust that you will use your influence
TO discourage this promiscuous assembly at
such perilous time. Thanking you for CIV
ing publicity TO this protest, | remain,

Dressing Women for Work.

We forget Just what the latest explana-
ton is for the present dull feathers OF the
human male At any rate, somewhere
along the evolutionary line the male sex
ceased to wear gay colors and flaunt names
and crests and plumes and settled down to
business. For the American husband as
we see him in his normal habitat the
change seems altogether appropriate. He
/ is essentially the tireless provider, drab,
worm-fetchng bird needing gay trappings
no more than an army mule. However he
came by his modern dress, it suits his part
/ in modern life perfectly.
The question now bothering some heads
is whether as women become workers and
providers they will shed their fine feathers
and lapse into a similar state of brown
ness. If they did, it may be argued that
thev would only be reverting to type and
the utiitarianism of protective coloration
such as the observation of any nest Will
demonstrate. But such solemn and vital
concerns as dress are not always settled by
logic or precedents. Perhaps if stenog-
raphers wore high collars and long gray
smocks and stockings of wool they might
be more invisible against an Office back
ground. and avoid certain perils and
temptations to marriage which now SO
often nip their careers in the bud. Per-
haps. also, they wouldn't. There is no

Gambling and Baseball.


The closing OF the Davenport, Iowa, minor
league baseball park because its former ex-
.ensive patronage was downtown betting in
poolrooms draws attention TO the growth OF
an evil.
In Boston a shooting scandal took place In
the yrandstand over betting on the game. and
in New York the baseball owners are cogniz-
ant of the growth of the baseball gambling
menace.
In Detroit baseball gambling handbooks
are made in the downtown saloons. Such IS
the prosperity of the citv that bets as high
as $500 and 81 900 are made. In fact 1t has
quite usurped the pony handbooks in the
local affections.
Such a thing could be possible, OF course
only under a favorable police regime. The
same forces that kill Fairgrounds and
schools are at work debasng baseball.
Horse racing was sustained as sport until
the bookmakers destroyed the sporting ele-
ment and the racetrack was practically aban'
doned for the poolroom. We believe it quite
impossible that any such sweeping effect
could be had on baseball. Nevertheless base
ball rambling is menace.
The actual organization Of baseball is a.
clean as a whistle, and will doubtless remain
so. But playing baseball with bets in pool
rooms is the poorest imaginable substitute
for the great American recreation. And be
sides it is strictly against the law, i! any
policeman should ask you.
