THE PROJECT FOR
 CHANNEL REVIVED
OLD SCHEME FOR TUNNEL TO FRANCE MAY MATERlALiZE
 WHEN WAR ENDS.

LONDON Aug. 3-The old project of building a tunnel under the Eng fish channel to connect England with the continent has again been revived. Plans are on foot for a meeting of a large number of members of parlia- ment to consider how far the scheme can be furthered at present with the view of putting it into execution at the end of the war.
 The decision of the allies trade con ference to establish rapid land and sea sea transportation services at low cost is said to have a direct bearing on the revival of the old scheme For a long time, the scheme was kept alive in the mind of the people, but the gi- gantic undertaking was such as to aI- most scare capital.

 LAYTON IS CRITICAL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. = Large commercial interests of the country have united in an appeal to the gov ernment to take steps to prevent the threatened strike by the railroad em- ployes throughout the country.

 A look over the situation by the la bor commission, is not reassuring, ac- eordlng to that official; and he claims that the situation is much more com picated than most of the observers are willing to admit
 It is said that President Wilson will call d meeting of his cabinet tomor- row to discuss the problem. He is said to have made all the necessary inquiries and that he found both sides standing firm.
