PARIS, March 19-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-The first
name on the alphabetical list of the
American expeditionary force is Pri-
vate Aaae and the last is Corporal
ZZeppenfelt. Between the two names
are more than 100000 others.
George Washington, Abraham Lin
coin, General Ulysses S. Grant, Robert
E. Lee, Woodrow Wilson, several Cae-
sars and few Bismarcks adorn the
ranks with intermittent frequency.
Excluding the commander-in-chief of
the army and navy, there is but one
Woodrow Wilson. He is a private and
according to Stars and Stripes has just
been placed in the working personnel
of Base Hospital, No. q, which was
organized in Pittsburgh.
There is an abundance of names of
great men, including IA George Wash
ingtons. The name of the first presi-
dent is surpassed by 70 Robert E.
Lees. who holds the record for bearers
of the name of great men. There are
but two Abraham Lincolns and seven
Grants; twelve Caesars and four Bis
marckS.
Among the common people" there
are about $1,000 Smiths True to their
traditional predominance of the direc-
tories of most cities, they dominate
the American expeditionary force in
numbers. There are $4,000 Johnsons,
% 500 Jones and a like number of
Greens. Sullivans aggregate 10000,
Browns 5000 and Cohens $500.

LONDON, April 1O.-Plans for
tunnel 80 miles long between
France and England to cost a bill
lion dollars or more are so FAR
perfected that construction can
start at once. It 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 northwest of Dover, some
miles back from the coast, be-
cause of the huge cliff between
FOlkestone and Dover.
More than 81 miles of the SO
will be under the sea and the
tubes will go down to a depth of
$50 feet.
Two tunnels, each Is feet IN
diameter, are to be sunk, with
cross galleries every geo 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 con-
trolled from Dover.
Dig 100 Feet Below Sea
The. deepest water along the
route of the tunnel is $50 feet and
it is proposed to 90 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 channel This viii protect
the tubes from the sea and also
from destruction by enemy activ-
tiles in time of war.
The tunnel will carry besides
the train tracks, telephone and
telegraph wiresE and pneumatic
tubes for the dispatch Of letters
and parcels. Trains viii operate
Less difficulty in construction
is expected than vas met in build
ing the - river tunnel between
Nanhattan and Ions Island
There 1t was necessary to bore
through hard rock covered with
glacial boulders overlaid with
quicksand
The channel tunnel VIII go
through chalk The first layer
under tie channel is white chalk.

Must Bore Through Chalk ESQ Feet Below Sea Level
Transcontnenta Trai Start From London

Below this is 300 feet of grey
chalk and through this the tun-
mel will be bored. The engineer
ing question is whether this grey
chalk is impervious to water. If
in the antics of the sea in ages
past any great assures have been
created, they will cause trouble.
First Attempt Made in 1874
First steps toward a channel
tunnel were taken in 1874 when a
French company sank an expert
mental shaft in France. Then in
1881 a British company sank
a shaft and drove a boring
1000 yards toward the channel.
The work was stopped by the gov
eminent, which decided that such
a project should be carried out by
the government The project was
revived in 1913 and naval and
military advice asked, but the
outbreak Of the war stopped prog
ress.
With the tunnel in operation
the channel could be crossed in
45 minutes and the time from
London to Paris will be but six
hours, while examination of bag
gage on the train would do away
with customs delays.
Express trains would be made
up in London for Constantinople,
Rome, and Brindisi, Bagdad anG
other cross-continent runs.

dreds of farm houses were blown away

Relief parties, however, are rapidly
clearing away the debris.

IN GERMAN BUDGET
WITHOUT INDEMNITY
Deficit of Seven Billions Is
Faced by Assembly, Says
Minister of Finance

WEIMAR, Wednesday, April 9.-(B
the Associated Press. )-Germany' 9
financial condition was set forth by
Minister of Finance Schiller in ao-
dressing the national assembly on the
budget for 1919. Treasury bills on
January 81, said the minister, amount
ed to 5S,300,000,00O marks and have
since risen to 63,70O,0O0,000 marks.
The expenditure for the army and
navy had fallen from 100000, 900
marks in January to 100000, 900
marks in March.
The budget, the minister stated, bal
anced at roughly 10000 900 marks,
which meant an addition of $500, 000,-
0O0 marks as compared with last year,
and the deficit would not be less than
1900, 100000 marks.
Herr Schiller said the budget did
not represent all the consequences OF
the war, such as indemnities payable
to the entente. He made an urgent
appeal for economy, but said the one
unavoidable item of additional expen-
ditures was 1,600, 100000 marks, repre-
senting increases of salary for Of
ficials, this being rendered necessary
by the increased cost OF living.

SENATOR MOSES WORKS
FOR WOODS CANDIDACY
Declares It Would Be Wrong for
New Hampshire Not to Send
Pledged Delegation.

ciaD.--United States Senator George
H. Moses, who Is at home for the
holidays, is actively engaged in pro-
noting the movement to make Cen
Leonard Wood. republican nominee
for the presidency. In an interview
with The Star correspondent, Senator
Moses said: ut would be politically
criminal for New Hampshire not to
send a pledged delegation for Wood
to the national convention. New
Hampshire will be the first state to
hold a primary for the election Of
delegates. and it is the duty of every
republican to insist on honoring this
son of the Granite state"
Another enthusiastic promoter of
the Wood movement is Maj. Frank
Knox of Manchester, who is credited
with being the first newspaper pub
Usher to give what Senator Moses
has termed essential publicity to the
movement to nominate Gen. Wood"
While there are number of can
didates for district delegates to the
national convention, 1T is very gen.

SEEKERS OF PRESIDENCY
Question Nicholas Murray Butler
as to His Stand on Prohibition
Enforcement.

The Anti-Saloon League has an
nounced intention to demand a
showdown" from all candidates for
the presidential nomination on the
wet and dry question, If they are
suspected of being against prohibi-
ton. and has commenced with Nicho-
las Murray Butler Of New York. Supt.
Anderson of the New York state
league has addressed these Ques-
tfons to DR.. Butler:
"0) Are you in favor Of enforc-
ing prohibition and giving the pro-
hibition policy adopted by the Amer
lean nation a fair test? Specifically:
(a) Are you in favor of the passage
of any additional legislation that may
be necessary to insure adequate. ef-
hcient enforcement of prohibition
(b) Are you opposed to the repeal
or emasculation of existing enforce
ment laws?
"(2) Do you believe that only men
who will oheerfully and conscien-
tiously carry out the nations policy
should be appointed as judges. dis
trict attorneys. marshals and to 9TH
er positions that have to do with the
enforcement of prohibition?
"(3) Do you believe that men ap-
pointed by the President to represent
this government abroad in diplomatic
and commercial fields should cheer
fully and fairly uphold abroad the
policy of the American nation upon
this question:
Supt. Anderson proceeded upon the
theory that DR.. Butler is inclined to
the vets. and says that every other
opponent Of prohibition. no matter
where he comes from, will be inter-
rogated when he or his managers en-
ter New York state for votes"
