Britain Pushes Project
for Tube Lines Con-
Meeting Island With
French Mainland
By H. X Moderwell

YEARS ago, when Germany was
making up her mind whether to
be friends with England or
enemies, the great Won Moltke said:
a Tunnel under the English Chan
mel connecting England with France,
wiu not be of any use for the invasion
OF England, but it would play the very
devil with Germany in case Of war
The English people did not accep.
the hint They went into a panic over
the possibility of an invasion Of Eng
land by France in case a tunnel con-
nected the two countries They re-
fused to permit the construction of the
tunnsl which would otherwise have
besn completed by 1893 They demand
ed that England be kept an island for
the sake of its military security.
History has played an ironic trick on
than, The tunnel has come to be re-
earded by large majority Of compe-
tant judges "a no dAnger at all.
But war came, in spite of Eng
lsnd's splendid vatery defences, which
threatened her national existence. And
n this war the tunnel would have been
N iDcalculAble mid in her defence.
Indeed. there were times. in the
early stages of the war, when Eng
lands fate was held in the balance be-
cause Of the shortage of munitions at
the frrnt- The tunnel, permitting
military supplies to be shot from the
Wooiwich Arsenal to the battlefront IN
FIVE hours would have abolished this
danger
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

transport was no longer the problem,
when the British had always an abun-
dance Of shells and defeat was no
longer mere matter of gunpowder.
But then came a new and even more
alarming peril-the shortage Of food
due to submarine activity.
Here, again, it is no secret that Eng
land has been seriously put to it for
food. There was general sacrifice and
some real suffering, situation which
is now fortunately past, since the sub
marines are mastered. But when every
available ship was working to the limit,
when food reserves were only sufficient
for a week or two, when thousands Of
tons Of priceless food were daily going
to the bottom of the ocean, what would
not the people of England have given
for through railway route from the
Continent! 1t was not the "steadying
effect" which the people wanted, but
food itself.
France has indeed had her food
/ troubles, but the greater part of the
time most of the staples have been
abundant, and q surplus could certainly
have been spared for England.

England Ready
For Tunnel Now


which the Channel tunnel would have
performed for England in the present
var- England is guessing at it now.
She is sadly rejecting on all that she
may have lost because a generation ago
she had bad case Of nerves over an
almost impossible French invasion.
According to recent dispatches she
has decided that the tunnel shall be
constructed at the earliest possible mo
nent- England is already a part of
the family Of civilized European ma
tons in spirit She is to become such
in body also England, after centuries
of confidence in the sea as her ultimate
protection, is to be @un-islanded-"
If England would not take a hint
from the jealous Germans in the
eighties she viii do so now. Here is
the latest German reaction to the tun-
mel project, as expressed by Admiral
hlrchhof in recent number Of the
pan German magazine, "Das Grossere
Deutschland CThe Greater Germany
German View
Of the Project
This tunnel" the pan-German ad-
mirsl explains, would be Of great
commercial service to England. 1t
would also make possible the use Of
much tonnage for other purposes Eng
land will find herself freer in all that
concerns commerce and transports. She
viii be able to place more ships in
other seas This will then be very i'm
portant for England in the future when
she will meet the serious competition
Of America and Japan.
Hence not only the army and navy,
but also merchandising and naval con-
struction, commerce and industry, will
be greatly facilitated by the tunnel,
and this will have enormous repercus-
sion on the Continental states. Large
territories will be filed rapidly and
eheaply with English goods"
After this observation the admiral
concludes bluntly: "There must be no
tunnel or bridge constructed between
France and England"
Well, say the English, If the pan
Germans don't want that tunnel to be
constructed. then we do.
Recent controversy on the subject
shows that under the stress of war and
the broadened outlook resulting from
1t English opinion has turned over
whelmingly in favor Of the tunnel, and
its early construction seems no longer
in doubt.
But what tornadoes of hysteria, what
spasms of patriotic terror England has
suffered in the past over this tunnel
project! When the scheme was first
seriously proposed and had been agreed
% by the British government an erup-
ton took place in English opinion. For

PRUSs|AN BUDGET MEANS
 EXGRB|TANT TAX RATES

NEW YORK, May 24.-Announce- ment that there would be a deficit of several hundred million marks in the Prussian budget for 1918 was made in the Prussian house of deputies re- gently by Minister of Finance Hertz, according to the Cologne Gazette.
 "Our people must fully realize the seriousness of the situation," he said "The restoration of the railroads will cost billions. Canal projects are be- ing discussed which also involve bill lions. I will not indulge in absurdi- ties. Tax rates of 50 per cent have been mentioned. I consider tax rates of 20 to 25 per cent as absolutely unbearable."
 He said that talk that income taxes would reach 45 per cent had caused great alarm throughout the country, and that he deemed such rates as absurd.

There is no tendency to exag-
gerate happenings in Germany, but
It is felt that the Germans have had
enough to make it imperative for
the government to make peace at
the earliest possible moment.
NJ. Copies, writing in the ''Figa-
ro,' fairly sums up the views of all
editorial writers when he says:
"The details Of revolutionary
movements in Germany are lacking,
but we learn enough from hour to
hour to feel already that thay are
neither superficial nor fictitious. DO
they contain deep-set revolution
Are they but riots due to the reac.
tion of the defeat? What authority
does the republic proclaimed at
Munich possess? These ara oues-
tons which concern Germany

While Germany is rejecting on
the Allies terms, Marshal Foch corr
tinuas his blows without inte~mist-
sior. The German army may hreas
ar any moment. There were signs
OF 8 new retreat from the Scheldt
yesterday, and the French are along

now is armistice or invasion.

However, it is thought that the fight

is certainly over. While that huge war
machine is still in splendid shape and
capable of stout resistance, it is
thought far more likely that some
strong hand may attempt a coup inside
or Germany with the army than that
ths military force would continue to
opposa the Allies.
Should the armistice fail to be signed
the Allied armies, it is declared, would
1ght thei- way on, or proceed into
Germany without fighting should there
be no resistance. Then the Job of fore
