Favor Tunnel Under
The English Channel

LONDON, July 5.--Strong support
for the English Channel tunnel
scheme from the French and italian
delegates was voiced yesterday at
the international Parliamentary
Conference here. A resolution. in
favor of constructing the tunnel
was carried unanimously.
1t was estimated by the sponsors
OF the resolution that the passenger
traffic from France alone would be
100000 persons annually, instead of
the 100000 that travelled by steam
er before the war. The probable
passenger and freight traffic be-
tween Great Britain and the CONT
nent was figured at profit of $5,-
$4,000, or z per cent OH the tunnel

mencement, would be worked, venti-

WASHINGTON. July Undressing
man power and rapidly extending con-

adoption of new policy by General

lied armies on the Western front, in
the opinion of many observers here.
They believe the sequence of hard

and Italian troops shows that new
phase of the great battle is develop
ing which might expand into a major
operation on any part of the front
where the situation is found favorable
Reports of the recent highly success
full strokes at the German lines are
taken here to indicate that General
Foch no longer feels under the urgent
necessity of keeping rgidly on the
defensive in order to conserve his
forces for the expected renewal Of the
German offensive. The fact that the
Germans have been completely sur
prsed and overwhelmed in several
local counter operations Is believed to
be due to the work of the Allied air
men.
Americans Turn the Tide
American aid has already served to
change the tide of the fighting. The
arrival of American troops by the hun
dreds Of thousands has enabled Gen
eral Foch to begin harassing the enemy
all along the line. while the increas-
ing number of American pilots makes
possible concentrations of air forces

In letter to Representative Dent
/ chairman of the House Military Affairs
| Committee, General Crowder asked
that the provision in the $4,000, 900, 900
military bill giving him the advanced
rank be stricken out. The provision
creating the rank was struck from the
bill, which will be reported to the
House for ratification tomorrow.
General Crowder said that it would
be unfair to accord him such honor
without extending proper recognition
to the thousands of others who de-
served credit for the successful ad-
ministration Of the draft
The action of General Crowder, army
men declared tonight, was another evil

desire to see that he was not selected

wednesday to Vice Chancellor PAYERS
reproof for Socialist opposition to gov
ernment measures, declared he had
nothing to withdraw.
I'VE will cooperate with the govern
ment only if the peace question is
clarified" Schcidemann said.
THE evaporation of the masses has
reached its highest pitch" Scheide-

Scheidemann charged that the Ger

how to comment on the recent astonish-
ing utterances of Foreign Minister

He declared that the greatest mill
tary victory, by itself, never will bring
peace-only an armstice.
Scheidemann's action is regarded as
important. as it was the first time dur
ing the war that the majority Socialists
had refused to vote for the government
budget. 1t is bound to produce a far
reaching effect on the people.
1t is learned that Scheidemann, in his

Miss Rankin
Enters Race
For Senate
Congresswoman, Assured
of Nomination, Will
Oppose Walsh
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

(Spec'dt OtspGtch to The Irtbune)
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Jeannette
Rankin, Americas first Congresswom-
an, announced tonight her candidacy
for the United States Senate. ,liss
Rankin will enter the Republican
primary in Montana. No opposition
has developed SO far as the primary
| contest is concerned.
Miss Rankin will oppose IN the cao
eral election Senator Thomas j. Walsh,
Democrat, who was elected by the Leg
islature after a hard fight six years
ago. Senator Walsh, like Miss Rankin,
has no opposition in his own party.
Miss Rankin's announcemnt of her
candidacy was simple.
81 shall run for the United States
Senate" she said.
But that little statement will pre-
cipitase battle Of ballots which will go
down in history. 1t is confidently ex-
before the fight ends Montana will have
seen campaign seldom before equalled
in bitterness. Miss Rankin, whose
views are so radically progressive that
she is sometimes called Socialist by
her enemies, has little love for the
large copper interests of her state, aud
they have no more affection for her.
Copper To Be an Issue
Senator Walsh is liked by the copper
men. He has been frequently given the
credit. during the consideration of the
first war revenue bill, for bolstering up
the Senate conferrees in their fight
with the House to prevent a tax on
copper.
1t was this determination of the SEN
ate not to yield and permit the tax on
copper desired by the House which pro-
voked the resentment at the time of
! Democratic Leader K:.ehin of the
House. head of the conferrees on the
Dill for that body.
Miss Rankin has not hidden her op-
position to the copper interests. She
mas denounced them in speeches on the
floor
And being for or against the copper
interests in Montana means more than
any one who has never been there can
comprehend. The feuds of the Ken
lucky mountains fade into insigniti-
! canoe. Miss Rankin has near and dear
relatives who are on the side of the COP
per interests. When they meet the
word copper is not mentioned
Miss Rankins record in the House of
Representatives has not been the quiet
career of most members of that body
for the first term of their membership.
