present charges based on 4S hours

The intention of the railroads is
to arrive at a practical way of re-
lieving the freight congestion. In

one reason or another, have ordered
more goods than they conveniently

When officially announced the order
will go into effect at once.
The enforcing OF the order is not

Cannot Afford Such Gamble.

Mr.. Hughes review is a solemn warn
ing of our state and of the folly and peril
of submitting through the coming crit
cal years to statecraft so blind, so be-
unused with doctrine, and benumbed by
prejudice or ill advised sentiment, that
!. could learn rothing from the tremend-
GUS events of the world war and the con-
slant threats of Mexican chaos until I'M
mlstakabe public opinion and alarmed
political self-interest pointed the lesson.
The United States cannot afford to
gamble on eleventh hour conversions of
SO dubious character 1t needs, if ever
IN Its history, craftsmanship of cour-
ageous resolutions, foresight, and in
tllligent preparedness, both for war ana
peace. Mr.. Hughes's noteworthy open
ing OF the campaign is strongest In its
suggestion, which the proved character
and distinguished record of the man en-
force, that we are approaching such
craftsmanship and will possess it, if we
are not so weak as to mistake false and
temporary avoidance of responsibility
for the peace and security which rests
alone with ian America conscious of
power, awake to obligation, erect in
sulf-respect, prepared for every emerg-
ency."
Mr.. Hughes S discussion of other phases
OF national policy must be treated at an
other time. 1t is enough to say here
that 1T provides an admirable outline for
the campaign which it may be hoped will
be one of constructive debate, clarifying
public thought and concentrating the
American will on course of definite
and unvacillating policy in foreign and
domestic affairs.

THE TUNNEL UNDER THE CHANNEL.

The closer alliance between England
and France ard the inadequacy of trans
portation by sea for the requirements of
the war have revived in France the idea
of building tunnel under the Channel.
At meeting of the French Society of
Civil Engineers recently paper was
presented explaining the condition of the
project to-day and describing the plans
of M. Albert Sartiaux for building the
tunnel. The idea was so much favored
In the 7Os on both sides of the Channel
that society was formed in France to
construct the tunnel, concession was
obtained from the Government and money
was raised. Efforts were made in Eng
land to establish similar corporation and
a submarine company exists now, at
least on paper, but the British press raised
the cry of danger to England, the rela-
lions between the two countries were not
cordial for some years and public interest
in the plan died out
The French company, however, was
not idle. 1t has spent $500, 900 in pre-
llmlnary work. Soundings to ascertain
the nature OF the bottom have been made
with great thoroughness across the
Straits OF Dover, pits and wells have sunk
on the French side to make sure of the
geological formation, an experimental
boring extending 5000 feet under water
has been made at Sangatte near Calais,
and much money has been expended in
other scientic research and in machinery.
A bed of chalk, 200 feet wide, extending
without a break across the Straits, has
been found, covered with a certain
amount of clay, which should minimize
the engineering difficulties. M. oar-
tlaux's plan is to eXcavate separate tun-
nels for each track. The estimates,
made some time ago, figured on about five
years for digging the TUNE! and about
81, 400 600 for the cost a mile, but both
time and cost can probably be diminished
through the many improvements that
have been made in machinery and by the
use of electricity. Electricity. too, part
ly solves another serious problem for
which underground engineers have not
yet found satisfactory answer, that of
proper ventilation.
From the time the proposal was first
advanced scientific men on both sides of
the Channel nave regarded the building
OF the tunnel as feasible; the obstacles
IN the way have been the doubt that
1t could be made to pay after it had
been built and the insular alarm as to
the danger from it in case of war.
Both of these considerations have been
swept aside by the exigencies Of the
present war, so that the tunnel project
now appears as a desirable engineering
feat that can be carried out The men
who have labored on the plans have
strong hopes that now they will be taken
up seriously by both England and France.

MIR. Hughes's Constructiveness.
From the Chicago Tribune, Rep

From the Chicago Tribune, Rep
Conservative proposals there are in
Mr.. Hughes address, and they will I'M
doubtedly be developed fully as they
could not be in one evening. For exam
pie, the need for protective tariff meas
ures to meet the aggressive developments
of commercial warfare in Europe. The
country can afford even less to submit to
Mr.. Wilson's languid opportunism and
eleventh-hour action in the field of inter-
national commercial competition than it
could afford to wait for his tardy military
defense measures. The nation needs
foresighted leadership and vigorous ac-
ton, preparedness, against the fierce
commercial rivalry being planned in
Europe, with care and comprehensive
ness never before known, just as it needs
the military defence now haltingly and
effectively begun. An antidumping
clause and a hastily created tariff board
are the flimsy constructive" proposals
of the present Government. They are
about as satisfactory as the little army
and navy that Democratic craftsmanship
was content with until the long shadow
of the ballot-box fell across their COM
PLEASANT counsels.
