No More PNrenceS.
(BOstOn Ierald.)

News comes that the international Pyrenean tunne! between France and Spain is finished. When France and Spain agreed. thirty seven years ago. that two railway routes should be carried over the mountain wall, one by way of an international tunnel, the war ministers of each country protested against the proposal. FhiS new undertaking will open up com muncation between the valley of the great Spanish river Ebro and the French Midi. and part of central France. At the French terminus the line through the tunnel will connect with the railway of the ArieGC val Icy, from AK to Toulouse. X station upon this line is TarasCon, the home of A1phonse Daudet's delightful Tar tarin. As tributary of the Garonne, the Ariege gives access 10 the valley of that river at the head of whose sea Like estuary stands the great port of Bordeaux. Perhaps since "there are no more PyrenecS we may be a ble to add. "there are no more Dover straits'' and LondonerS may take train at Charing Cross, and roll into the valley Of the Spanish Ebro without change of cars.

Both Sides to Blanc.
(Brid gepOrt POSt.)


 If any stronger arguments were needed to convince tho country of the bad business arranGen1 cnt involved in government ownership of utilities, they can be found in tho failure of congress in it's dying days to supply the needed legislation to meet the peace changes, and the equal failure to call a special session.
 Here is one of the greatest Ques- tions of the times made the football of political manipulation on both sides. There is no CSca ping that con clusion.
 And it will not do 10 say this side or that is in the right while the other is in the wrong. Whichever way it may be it cuts no figure. The thing standing out is that there was a political controversy over great question: or it was involved in a po- litical maneuver. One side insisted on one plan. The opposition on an other. There was q deadlock \ chance remained to break it. but that chance is made impossible because the new congress is not in session and may even have to wait until next December, under certain possibilities.

 SOLDIERS 10 FARM
S6O,O00 Exhibit Being Sent to
 France; Experts to Help Boys

New Y ork, March 13.-A S60,000 farming exhibit is being shipped this week to France by the War Work council of the Young Mems Christian associa tion 10 be used for the inStruc- tion of thousands of sol lCrs in thc American IIxpcditioNary Force who want to return to the farms when their resim ents are dem obiliznd. The eXh ibit was assembled by the United States Department of Agriculture at the request Of the War department.
 It includes samples of Soii from every county Of the United States, dairy utensils, egg testers, ccreal and corn sam plcs, insecticides and fungi cides, and other material sufficient 70 fill five cars.
 With this material will go 10 France four government experts 10 supervise the setting up of the exhibit and 10 prepare for the work of instruction in France. These experts will remain with the F,xpeditioDary Force four m onths to teach men assigned from the army so that the work of instruc- ton can continue as long as the .An1e iCan troops are held overseas. A. A. Ormsby, of the Depa artment of -Agri- culture. is in charge of the exhibit It is Announced that the Shipm cnt of this material is the result of a wide spread demand among tho fighting men overseas for instruction in agri- culture. Dr. Kenyon l.. Buttrrfc1d, president of the Massachusetts .AGri- cultural college and member of the Y. VI. C. A. Army Education comm is sion, has estimated that Ono-fOurth Of the men in the American EXpc- ditionary Force came from the farms of America and that similar pro- portion of them want 10 return to the farms when their military service Is ended.
 On it's arrival in France the exhibit will be divided into four parts, loaded on trucks and moved from camp 10 camp for demonstration.
 The govornmo ont will pay the sal aries of it's experts and the Y. M. C. X. will pay their expenses. II is expect cd that Inc military authorities will assign several hundred instructors from the army to use this exhibit in agricultural education. It is an nounced that tho Y. M. C. A. sent to France in January more than $79O- 900 worth of tcXt-books. part of which bear upon courses of agriculture, and that these courses arc open 10 az fighting mon of the United States as long as they remain overseas.
 Shipment of samples of soil is in tended to enable the soldier to dis cover how best to utilize the farm lands of his home town. whether he may come from Maine or Oregon. The Bureau of Plant Industry has contributed exhibits showing how to fight insect pests and fungous dis cases of plant life, and the Bureau of Animal Industry has contributed model farm buildings dairy and poul- try barns and silos. By the use of these and other exhibits the soldiers will be taught scientific farm man agement.
