the selling ceased. At around $3.50 for

hedging sales in May against purchases
to arrive from the country which lat
ter continued to offer corn freely. The
rally was due to the technical posi-

English Government An
nOunces Tunnel Will Soon
BE Built Under the
Channel.
TO CONNECT FRANCE
Will be Worlds Biggest En-

TO CONNECT FRANCE
(By The Associated Press. J

-. - J. ! . y. lie
London, March IL, Correspondence
OF The Associated Press -Intense in
terest has been aroused by the govern
ment's announcement that the long pro-
jected tunnel under the English Chan
mel to connect England and France is
soon to be constructed The cost of.
the enterprise is roughly estimated at
OO.OOO,OO0- Some say the tunnel
could be completed in 51a years.
a commission in Paris, which has
been discussing this project, also is
| considering the building of tunnels I'M
der the Bosphorus connecting Europe
with Asia and one from Gibraltar con-
meeting Europe with Africa.
The English Channel Tunnel COM
pany already has dOfie AZ vast amount
of work in anticipation of the reslimp-
ton of actual construction Of the tlin-
mel to France. Engineering plans are
said to be so far advanced that the
lWOfk cOuiu DeSln at once. A.
A Big Feat.
With the exception of the Panama
Canal, it will be the biggest engineer
| ing enterprise of modern times The
total length, including approaches in
England and France, will be 81 miles,
with more than 21h miles of it under
the sea. The plans provide for two
tunnels, each eighteen feet in diameter,
connected 10y cross galleries at inter
yals of 200 yards. The maximum
depth of water on the route is 100 feet,
and cover of 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.
~, tpt Fast Work. A a
| Iron tubes will be built as the tunnel
ADVANCES. The extraordinary advance
made in tunneling i'm recent years, es-
pecially in the United States, will en-
able the engineers to proceed with
great speed. The railway lines will be
operated by electricity as in the case
of the Simplon tunnel under the Swiss
mountain of that name, and which is
1917 miles I'M length, the longest at
present in the world
Before the war the quickest service
from London to Paris was in six hours
and A. minutes. With the tunnel the
journey could be made in six hours,
whatever the weather.
Sea No Difficulty.
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 geological
formations. The first layer under the
channel is white chalk, and beneath
this is belt of gray chalk some 300
feet thick. The great question is
whether the gray chalk is impervious
to water.
The exact points for starting the
tunnel have not been determined but
expert opinion fayors n spot just be-
hind Dover and, in France, a point
close to Cape Grisnez.
The tunnel will be caple Of handling
10000 passengers and 10000 tons Of
goods each way in twenty-four hours.
Ordinary railway rolling stock, includ-
ing sleeping and dining cars, will be
able to use the route.

Raise School Teachers Pay.

Teachers should have more pay.
That is the conviction that has sunk
in SO deeply in Washington, that it
seems reasonable to expect that the in
fiuence and force of the government
will back the proposition, and seek to
establish standards in such manner
us to effect action from authorities in
| the states and in the different school
districts and separate educational
units everywhere in the United States.
The question has been argued over and
over again, but repetition will do no
hurt Here we are as a people, making
make-shift Of the, most important
profession in existence. Double the
pay is the demand, so that men and
women can enter teaching as profess
sion, and expect to remain in it, just
as do lawyers, d0ctors-and limited
number of editOrs--who are making
more money than school teachers. The
Federal bureau of education, as well
MS the organizations within the sta ties,
are insisting that this is a vital mat
ter, and that something along construc-
tive lines must be done to meet the
situation. During the days when every
train coming into Washington was UNI
loading whole platoons of maidens fair,
bent upon doing their patriotic duty,
and incidentally drawing a nice gov
eminent salary, there were a great
many school teachers enlisted for the
war jobs. Results proved that while
the most of these were doubtless very
good school teachers that they were
without training for clerical work, and

OF All-Russian
Forces.
FIGHTS BOLsHEvIK1s
Working to Form a Stable,
Progressive Element in
Government.

London, March 15.- Correspondence
Of The Associated Press.) General
Denikine, head of the Russian yolun-
teer army, which is fighting bolshevism
in southern Russia, is described byaan
English admirer from Odessa as "A
man of about so years with regular
features and the fine presence Of the
striking Russian type He gives one
the impression of being broad minded,
high thinking, determined, well bal
anced man."
The Associated Press correspondent
met this Englishman, whose name may
not be disclosed, at the British foreign
Office.
Denikine, he said, is guiding his ar
my and his special council through
dangerous shoals, but so far he has
not encountered any reefs. The special
council, he explained, is legislative
i body which is laying the foundations Of
new all-Russian government. He
described its members as reformers,
all broad minded and determined to
give Russia every possibility of gain
ing place among the great free ma
tions OF Europe"

But One Party.

rIn bolshevik Russia he continued,
there is only one .party-the bolshevik
party. Healthy, progressive socialists
are now suppressed. These socialists
realize that under Denikine they are
working to form progressive element
in stable government. They are In
his army and in his special council.
All parties surrounding the council
have learned by experience that posi-
bly, for a time a dictatorship will be
necessary in Russia to bring about that
state of freedom which they have been
waiting for for years.
Y "All these political parties and the
army are looking to the allies, to whom
they held through all their difficulties,
to help reinstate Russia as a great ma
ton. They are willing to fight, and
they only ask for munitions, technical
aid and advice"
