Would Tunnel English Channel.

machine for tunneling the English
Channel In 35 days has been brought
to the attention OF the British govern
ment by Mr.. John X. Hencken, q civil
engineer of New York, who states that
he has official approval Of his scheme.
The scheme contemplates boring four
tunnels by means Of eight machines
that will cut through earth and rock
at the rate of 100 feet per hour, and
provides not only for trackway in
each tunnel, but a driveway, along
with motor-lorries could be driven
from England to the supply bases in
France. Mr.. Hencken asserts that he
can have the tunnels complete and
ready for operation within a few
months time, and declares that, should
the scheme be carried through, 1t
would release most of the shipping
now used between England and
france.

Heroisn OF Soldiers In Trenches

With the American Army I'm
Frenco Feb. 1.-Conditions were
quiet on tho vast sectors all today be-
cause OF the falling rain. which show
cd no sign OF xbating. Beyond q few
shots from both sides at registered in
tervals. there was little artillery IRE.
There was virtually no infantry activ-
ity.
Additional details Of yesterdays
raid showed that only the heroism of
the platoons In the trenches nearest
the post rxided prevented the enemy
from entering the trenches and per
haps capturing prisoners.
American officers at the front have
come into possession Of documents
said to have been taken from Ger
mans opposite our positions and
which dwelt with the treatment to be
accorded prisoners. The document
shows that all prisoners including
commissioned and non-commissioned
officers. after being captured, are to
be kept in cages for four days without
food and compelled to stand all of the
time. AT the end Of the fourth day
only small quantities of food are to
be given. Although definite infor-
nation Of the purpose is lacking,
some American officers today express
ed the belief that the order resulted
from the difficulties the Germans pro-
oably experienced in extracting infor-
nation from the first American pris-
oners captured in November. Such
treatment Of prisoners, it is thought,
could be designed only to make them
give up military information.

also installing wheat mill and expect
