PROTEST.

If it is the object of Representa- tive Raker, of California, to pro- long the exemption period for the performance of annual labor on mining claims in Alaska, as would seem to be indicated by telegraphic advices received from the national capital this week, there should be vigorous protest on the part of Alaskans in every section of the territory Nothing that we know of retards development in this coun- try more than the suspension of the law requiring assessment work, and there is not a single reasonable ar gument that can be advanced in favor of such a suspension. The dispatches would have us believe that it is intended to benefit claim owners still in the service, but 1t will be difficult to convince Alas kans that it is not 9 scheme to relieve influential claim-holders of the necessity of representing prop erly the thousands of acres of vaiu- able ground which they are with holding from development for specu lative purposes.
 The excuse given for the intro duction of the Raker resolution, that it will protect the claims of the mining men who are still in the service overseas, is about as req sonable as would be proposal to furnish free food to Alaskans be- cause there happened to be a few hungry Northerners in Europe. The action that would be taken in sucn an emergency would be the prompt despatch of supplies to those in need of them. And that is the way the assessment suspension proposition should be handled. Protect the claims of those who are not in a position, through service in the army. to conform to the requirements of the law, but compel all others to continue to represent the property which they desire to hold, Other wise there will be no development of such holdings while the annual labor clause is in suspension.
 We were not in favor of the suspension, when Congress was pre- vailed upon by the late Delegate Sulzer to set the law. aside. There was less excuse for the action taken by Delegate Wickersham during the last session of Congress, and there is still less reason for suspension beyond the limit prescribed by the Wickersham law. The Raker resolu- tion is a potlatch to claim monopo- lists, presented to Congress in the unsuspecting form of relief mea- sure for the benfit of soldier claim owners

YANKEE SOLDIERS
 MONOPO[0E LATIN
 QUARTER OF PARIS

PARIS.-The famous Latin .2uar ter of Paris, home of the denizens of the eworld of art, is for the tine being, at least, a thing of the past, Killed rnwittingly by an invasion of American officers stat;o ned ln he capital. So many of the soldier boys have taken up their abode in this section so that they might get a sight of real life" that the long time habitues have been forced to withdraw because of lack of room and high prices. The spirit of Be- hemia frightened by the influx from overseas, has spread its wings and drifted away to a more tranquil spot.
 It is not dislike of the Yankees that has forced the long-haired artist to fold up his easel and steal sadly away to find himself a new home. Far from that But even long, haired artist who, theoretically, can live in a hole in the wall, must have at least some room to turn around in, and moreover his pocketbook is not so long as that of his friends from across the ocean. So the Latin Quarter is Americanized, and ap- parently will remain so until Uncle Sam calls his boys home again, when probably the dreamer of dreams will find his way back to his old haunts.
 There are at present perhaps three hundred American officers and sol diers living in the Latin Quarter, most of them being students at the Sorbonne, where special courses have been arranged for them. Many of the artists who lived there before the war had given up their studies and answered the call of the flag Consequently there were numerous apartments to be obtained by the Americans The artist, upon being recently demobilized, came back to the Quarter to learn that there was no place for him, at least at price within his means, for the Americans pay well.
 Artists who had remained in the f for they found that their purses would no longer support them in the old style in their cafes. Then, too, there undoubtedly was the question of a change of the atmosphere 50 dear to the artist. His privacy was thing of the past.
 Take the Cafe du Dome, for ex- ample. This used to be a famous resort for wielders of the brush and chisel The tables of an evening, were filled with Bohemians at their games and drinks, and the two billiard tables were the battle grounds for large forces of artist combat ants. The conversation centered on things esthetic
 Now every table is surrounded by bulging khaki, the American cue ex- pert is practicing fancy shots on the greencloth, and the favorite chair of the painter is occupied by Yan- kee captain. The conversation eddies about Christy Mathewson and the chances of the Giants.
 Occasionally an artist pokes his head in at the door timidly, and then takes himself off hastily in a fright at the unusual sight. There simply isn't room for him there any more.

'ENGLISH CHANNEL
TUNNEL PROJECT
NEAR COMPLETION
(By Associated press)

London. April 4.-Intense interest
has been aroused by the government
announcement that the long project
ed tunnel under the English Channel
to connect England and France is
soon to be constructed. The cost of
the enterprise is roughly estimated
at Sl0O0C0,000. Some say the tun-
mel could be completed in 1-2 years.
4 commission in Paris which has
been discussing this project also is
considering the building of tunnels
under the BOsphorus connecting. Eu-
rope with Asia and one from Glib
raltar connecting Europe with Af-
| RIGA.
The English Channel Tunnel Co.
already has edone vast amount of
work in anticipation of the resump-
tion of actual construction of the
tunnel to France. Engineering plans
are said to be so far advanced that
the work could begin at once.
With the exception of the Panama
Canal, it will lie the biggest engineer
ing enterprise of modern times. The
total length, including approaches in
England and France, will be 32 miles,
with more than 21 1-2 miles of it un-
der the sea. The plans provide for
two tunnels each eighteen feet in
diameter, connected by cross CALLER
les at intervals of 200 wards. The
maximum depth of water on the
route is $50 feet. and cover of fine
chalk about 100 feet thick would be
left undisturbed above the crown Of
the tunnel to provide against danger
from enemy attack with submarine
explosives. The tunnels level below
the sea thus will be about $50 feet.
Iron tubes will be built as the
tunnel advances. The extraordinary
advance made in tunneling in recent
wears especially in the United States,
will ena ole the engineers to proceed
with great speed The railway lines
will be operated by electricity as in
the case of the Simplon tunnel un-
der the Swiss mountain Of that name,
and which is II 1-2 miles in length,
the longest at present in the world.
Before the war the quickest serv-
ice from London to Paris was in six
hours and 45 minutes With the tut
mel the journey could be made in six
hours, whatever the weather.
Speaking of the problems of build
ing the tunnel English engineers say
the sea itself offers no difficulty,
that the only risk lies in the geologi
cal formations. The first layer un-
der the channel is white chalk, and
beneath this is belt of grey chalk
some 800 feet thick. The great oues
tion is whether the gray chalk IS in
perviOus to water.
The exact points for starting the
tunnel have not been determined, but
expert opinicl favors a spot just be-

MENTALLY
DERANCED
Former Soldier Sent to Norman
Institution; Intensive Army
Training Believed to Be
the Cause.

Strenuous army draining, and his
yearning for his privilege to fly in an
air-plane, is given as the cause of the
insanity of Private Charles Rudolph,
Chickasha soldier recently returned
from France Rudolph was adjudged
insane when brought before the san
ity board Wednesday afternoon.
Rudolph went into the service soon
after the United States entered the
war He was put through several
months Of training and was then de-
tailed for duty overseas. He served
four months with an aero squadron
in England
During the time Rudolph served in
the aerial department of the army, r,
he developed such liking for the air
service that after he was discharged
the desire to fly caused his mental
arrangement, it is believed The re-
turned soldiers father j, J. Rudolph,
of Chickasha, testified at the hearing
that the strenuous training in the
army weakened the soldier physic-
ally, which exposed him to mental
anguish.
The yankee has been taken to the
Oklahoma hospital for the insane at
Norman.
