CONNECTS FRANCE AND SPAIN
Tunnel Recently Completed Does Away
With Necessity Of Crossing Pyr-
enees Mountain Peaks.

There are no more Pyrenees" was
once an expression of high political
significance In France. 1t Is now a
reality, because while all Europe was
Involved In the struggle to crush mil
ifarism. the engineers kept blasting
away at the heart of the mountains
dividing France and Spain and have
constructed a tunnel that obviates the
necessity of climbing $500 feet Of
mountain peaks before crossing the
boundary. A railway has been INSTALL
ed In this tunnel which connects PUG
cerda, Spain, with AK, France. These
two towns are 20 miles apart, but the
railway is not that long.
By not impossible grades. it leads
from the lower levels Of the pass from
Prades. France. TO the upper valley
of the Ariege. near where Puigcerda
Is situated. 1t also goes down to the
valley of the great River Ebro, along
which runs system of railways and
canals. making excellent connections
with Saragossa and many smaller
places in the heart of Spain, and with
the Mediterranean port of Barcelona,
Spain.
Heretofore tourists from the Medl-
terranean region of France have had
to use a carriageway through the pass
from Prades, where the railway from
Perpignan ends. to Puigcerda, bur the
journey from the valley Of the Ariege
river was not so easy.
