Two Big Tubes Under the English Channel Is Attracting Much 2

LONDON. Sept 5.-Advocates Of a tunnel under the English Channel between England and France express high confidence that the construc- ton Of such a tunnel will begin immediately alter the conclusion Of the war. This great work will absorb much labor released by de- mobilization
 Workers will be required in large numbers not only for excavation bu, for making the necessary plant and machinery.
 Business men have long favored the project bu; the politicians, sup ported apparently by the nation. have clung Co insularity Now the Auglo-French peace has been n- broken tor more than 100 years. and the French and British are prosecuting side by side che great est war in history
 Fear Of tho French was what
 stopped the channel in mid-Victor- ian days when Lord Wolseley, hold. ing that the French, in time of pro- found peace, might send troops through the tunnel seize Dover and capture London. oyerbore the cham ions Of the tunnel Gladstone. Bright and Landsdownc.
 Since those days, not Co mention the improvement in Anglo-French relations, che Zeppelin. aeroplane and submarine have come to affect the English lnsular position Be- sides it is seen that il the tunnel had existed this war would have been much easier for Great Bri- tain. Troops and supplies could have been poured through 1t in ob- solute security, sparing the admiral ty the heavy task of protecting the seas. and leaving many millions Of tons Of merchant shipping free to do its accustomed work. This would have meant cheaper food and coal, a great boon and the safe and com fortable transportation home of the British wounded
 When built. the tunnel will con- sist Of two tubes twenty feet in diameter. driven about forty feet apart. and connected at short dis tances by galleries The tubes will be large enough to accommodate great trains with restaurant and sleeping cars. bringing London into close touch with the whole conti- nent and making it more than ever the center of the world.
