LONDON, Sept. 2.-For nearly half a

boats have been running between one
Of the Channel ports and the French

Channel the cars have been transferred
from the boats to the French lines and
so to their destination.

After the war the service will be read

enter tho train In London and remain
In their carriages until they alight In
Paris or Rome or elsewhere.
As early a. 1879 parliamentary sane

Early in the present century the
scheme was revived and bill consttut-
ing the Channel Ferry Company was
passed by Parliament. but the Admiralty
authorities were against the scheme and
held It up for some years.
The revival Of the Channel tunnel sug-
gestion since the beginning Of the war
was answerable for the revival OF the
suggestion for a Channel ferry. The
promoters adopted new scheme which
necessitated the construction OF a new
port on the French coast and the build
ing Of vessels especially constructed TO
carry an entire train without detaching
the different units.
The new port was found necessary
owing to the size OF the ferryboats the

Italian War Relics
Exhibited i'm Garden
Soldiers and Sailors, Many
Wounded, Serve as Ush-
ers and Guides

The Italian government exhibition Of
war relics was opened yesterday in
Madison Square Garden. Officers, SOL
diers and sailors Of the Italian army
and navy, all of whom have seen active
service and many of whom have been
wounded, acted as ushers and guides.
! One naval aviator at the Garden is
| still suffering from the effects of a
l,00O-foot fall from an observation bal
loon near Venice.
Clad in white from head to toe, and
with weapons and accoutrements paint
ed the same hue, the soldiers in the
Alpine exhibit are especially pictu-
rescue. When these spotless soldiers
are on a snowy mountain slope, how
ever, it is impossible to tell at short
distance where snow ends and troops
begin.
Only one article of their equipment
is an exception to the immaculate rule.
That is long cord of brilliant GRIM
son which adorns them like a gloriied
tail. Even this decoration has its pur-
pose, however.
In their haunts avalanches are COM
! mon, and it is not infrequent for a
whole company to be overwhelmed. A
succeeding company, seeing the snow
surface decorated with the scarlet tas-
sells in which the "tails" terminate,
would know at once where to dig to
extricate their comrades with the least
waste of effort.
