Must Bore Through Chalk
28O Feet Below Sea LeveIiI
TranS-ContinentaI Trains
Will Start From London

LONDON, Eng.-Plans for a tun-
mel 80 miles long between France
and England to cost a billion dol
lars or more are so far perfected
that construction can start at once.
1t will take five years to complete
the tunnel.
British and French governments
are said to be in entire accord on the
project. No preference in rates is to
be given any country.
The approach to the tunnel will
be the northwest of Dover some
miles back from the coast, because
of the huge cliff between Foldestone
and Dover.
More than 21 miles of the 80 will
be under the sea and the tubes will
go down to a depth of $50 feet.
Two tunnels, each IS feet in d.
ameter, are to be sunk. with cross
galleries every 200 yards.
Near the middle of the tunnel
there will be a dip for one mile and
a water lock by means of which the
tunnel can be flooded and disabled
for use in case of emergency. This
lock will be controlled from Dover.
Dig 100 Feet Below Bottom OF Sea
The deepest water along the route
of the tunnel is $50 feet and it is
proposed to go deep enough to have
a cover Of the chalk sea bottom 100
feet thick between the top of the
tunnel and the bottom Of the chan
mel. This will protect the tubes
from the sea and also from destruc-
ton by enemy activities in time of
war.
The tunnel will carry besides the
train tracks, telephone and tele-
graph wires and pneumatic tubes
for the dispatch of letters and par
cells. Trains will operate by cleo
tricity.
Less difficulty in construction is
expected than was met in building

At Mineola, Tex, the storm was
preceded by wind and rain of great
force, accompanied by an extraor-

Barrett and Others
Appeal to Farmers to
Support Victory, Loan
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
BY TRENn0RE TTT.LER

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-Charles
S. Barrett, of Georgia, president of
the National Farmers Union, heads
a list of signatures to an appeal
to the American farmers to support
the Victory loan in the same pa
triotic way they responded to the
Liberty loan and food production
campaigns during the war. The ap-
peal is signed by more than two
score officers of national and state
farm associations, including Presi-
dent Kendrick, of the National Live
of the National Dairy Union, and
Secretary Lyman, of the National
Board of Farmers Organizations.
The appeal of Mr.. Barrett and his
colleges is addressed ITO he Farm
ers of America" and reads:
mo finer patriotic service was ever
rendered than when the farmers of
America, short of labor, credit and
farm supplies, still grew the increased
crops without which we could not
have won the war. The farm women
and children gave their labor in
the fields and the farms sent moro
than a million of their best men
to join the colors. The more that
is known about the war, the more
gloriously our farmers part will
shine.
THE Victory Liberty loan drive
will begin April 81 and continue unit
May 10, We appeal to you, farmers
of America, to finish what you have
so we'll begun. Make this loan as
superb as the war crops you have
raised. See to it that the farmers
lead in putting the Victory loan over
the top.
Make your participation in the
Victory Liberty loan, both in money
and service, the measure of your
devotion to the great cause of de-
mocracy-the democracy for which
many of our boys have made the
supreme sacrifice. Let your sub
scription and your effort be both
an offering of thanksgiving for the
return of peace and the means by
which the world may measure the
strength of your patriotism and your
determination to see to it that the
war shall not have been fought in
Vain"

ASSOCIATION OF
COTTON GROWERS
URGED BY OWEN
Oklahoma Senator, Speaking
at. Memphis Conference,
Tells of Benefits to Be
Derived

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 10.-For-
nation of a cotton growers export
association under authority of the
Webb act for the purpose of faclll-
tating the handling and saleSof cot
ton both in this country and abroad,
was recommended by Senator owen,
of Oklahoma, retiring chairman or
the senate banking and currency com
mittee, in q speech here today before
the conference Of cotton planters,
bankers and business men from cot
ton-growing states. Such an organ
able growers to obtain better price
for their product but also would give
stability to the market.
Senator Owen recently returned
from a two months trip to Europe
spent in studying financial and eco
commercial possibilities growing out
of establishment of peace.
The great possibilities which would
come from an export corporation
were described by Senator owen, who
said with a capital of $5O,O00,OOO 1t
would provide Systematically and
cheaply storage facilities as we'll as
better transportation at more eco
nomical costs than can be secured by
the small shipper.
Such corporation" Senator
owen continued, could, if necessary,
withhold it's cotton from the market
so as to supply only the actual needs
Of the market. Such a corporation
would not be forced to sell it's cotton
because of any temporary slack in
demand. Above all, such a corpora
ton controlling q very large volume
of cotton, would be in a position TO
command the attention Of the world"
at is quite clear" the speaker
said, "as far as the producers are
concerned, that when they are com
peting with each other everywhere
in selling their cotton, when the cot
ton is being piled up in excess of the
capacity of the yards and when 1t Is
is in excess of the facilities arranged
for transportation the cotton cannot
be expected to bring what would be
a fair price if these distractions
were removed.
such a corporation could meet
these distractions and bring to the
producer a better price, give stability
to the market and prevent wide Huc-
tuations in prices due to aVoidable
factors. The result of this would be
a benefit to the merchants who buy
the cotton of producer in the mar
ket. 1t would benefit the cotton
buyer because his business will nave
a new measure of stability without
the element of violent fluctuation--
always an element of danger, as we'll
as sometimes furnishing an oppor-
tunity of profit"

State Of Georgia Is
Suing South Carolina
ToDetermineB Boundary

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 1O.-Pa-
pers in the suit of the state of Geor-
gia before the supreme court Of the
United States, filed in the name of
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, of that
state, to determine the boundary
lines between Georgia and South
Carolina, were served this afternoon

The Georgia authorities claim that
the boundary between the two states
should be the line beginning at the
North Carolina border and the north

Ckattooga, Tugaloo and Savannah at
the ordinary mean water level of
these rivers on their eastern bank.
In other words, these three streams
in their entirety between South Car

brought pursuant to a resolution
adopted by the Georgia general as
Sembly at it's last session.
