Poor FoIke Cron holm.

Pity the plight of FoIke Cronholm! AS the
Swedish charge d'affaires at Mexico City, Herr
Cronholm did not disguise his sympathy for Ger
many" on the contrary, he entered into close re
Iations with the German legation" This is the
testimony of Won Eckhardt, the Kaiser's~ minister
to Mexico, who adds in his now notorious note to
Berlin that Herr Cronholm ''is the only diplomat
through whom information from hostile camp
can be obtained"
The services which the Swedish charge rem
dered his dear German intriguers were of divers
sorts Not only did he act intermediary for
official diplomatic intercourse between the German
legation and its home office, just did the Swed-
ish minister at Buenos Aires, but he'would also
act as messenger boy to Won Eckhardt whenever
the latter wished it. This It that moved Won
Eckhardt's Prussian heart deeply and well-nigh
drew tears down his iron cheeks. Mark the ten
derness with which he touches that point in his
note. TO the Imperial Chancellor:
I'm the course of this he (Herr Cronholm)
. is Obliged to go personally to the telegraph
office not seldom quite late at night, in order
to hand IN the kilograms"
Now Herr Cronholm, doughty diplomat though
he was had not Jared sumptuously of this worlds
honors The fact is. Won Eckhardt so tactfully
put it, Herr Cronholm has not got a Swedish but
only Chinese order at present" Wherefore,
half from pity and half from gratitude the German
minister recommended that the Kaiser reward his
faithful Swedish lackey with 'the Crown Order Of
the Second Class" taking care, however, to keep
the honor secret from all save Herr Cronholm him
self and his Government, until the end of the war
1t might have made the Swedish diplomats at other
neutral posts jealous had they heard of the tower
ing honor in store for Herr Cronholm.
But alas, poor Folke, thou must bide content
with thy lone Chinese insignia! Indeed, this trust
ing Swede is longer permitted even to tote"
messages for Won Eckhardt He has fluttered
away with the leaves of yesteryear, victim Of
gusty Fate. Wherein he failed his Prussian en-
pIoyer or his royal master at Stockholm, the
record saith not. But Folke Cronholm longer
files kilograms at Mexico City; longer dreams
of German Crown Order of the Second Glass.
Thus ends another lesson in the comical game of
Swedish diplomacy" and German craft

The English Channel Tunnel.

For fifty years England and France have talked
of the project of building tunnel underneath the
English channel which separates the British Isles
from the mainland. The has given a new
turn and interest to this huge engineering project
for it is readily that had there been such
a connection these last three years many lives and
millions of dollars worth of shipping would have
been saved. In recent address before the Royal
Geographical Society, Sir Francis Fox said the
building of the tunnel is entirely feasible and
urged it's construction after the war as
possible. In summarizing his address, the New
York Herald says:
The maximum depth of the water in the
Channel would not exceed $50 feet. The
cover of chalk over the roof of the structure
would be about 100 feet as a guard against
all contingencies. The tunnels would
sist of two tubes, each with diameter Of
eighteen feet The tunnels could be worked,
ventilated and pumped from a power station
ten miles inland. The entrance and exit of
both tunnels would be under gunire of forts
and vessels in the harbor of Dover. The plans
also provide for dip" in the level of the
rails, forming water lock-" By this con-
trivance a mile of tunnel in case of
emergency could be filled with water. Sir
Frances says that trains could be run direct
from London to Paris in six hours and that
they could travel at a Roadway of five to ten
minutes.
With the war ended there is small doubt
that the vitality interested nations will give heed
to this opportunity Outside of its tremendous COM
mercial advantages it would be, as Baron Emile
d'Erlanger says, convincing symbol of lasting
mutual confidence and unity"

Our Unprecedented Trade.

Complete official reports of our foreign trade
for the fiscal year 1917 set new world record.
The value Of merchandise exports for the twelve
month s6293, SOC 900, increase of nearly
two billion dollars the 1876 period which
itself record-breaking Imports also increased
considerably, their total value being upward of
two and one-half billion dollars. Particularly
significant is the fact that far the greater portion
of American exports consisted of products of the
factory and mill rather than raw material; It is
such products that yield the richest trade returns
and the widest measure of common prosperity. The
largest purchaser of our goods during the year was
England, who bought the stupendous of
$2,O47,545S 43. France followed with 81 oil 529,
O95. Then came Canada with $751;, 52e7 29, and
European Russia with $42s,2s4,663.
