ment of the American Truth Society by

fcation Of o'Leary as the man he saw

WANTS A CONCRETE
DUAL STATE TUNNEL
Major 0'ROurke Offers to Con-
struct VehicuLar Tube for
100000.

Major John +. O'Rourke. who built the
pennsylvania tunnels under the Hudson
and the four tubes from the foot OF Man
haitian Island 20 Brooklyn. told members
of the State Reconstruction Commission
at n meeting in the rooms of the Bar
Association last night that he was aeady
TO sign a contract to build yehiculaT
tunnel between this city and the Jersey
shore for S11,50O,OO0 if the plans drawn
up by himself and Eajor-Gen. George w.
GoetSals were pdoptcd.
The plan, which has been published
by the Joirt Bridge and Tunnel Commits
sion of the two States, provides for a
forpT-two foot two level tunnel admit
ting of the passage of three vehicles
abreast in each tube. Major ORourke
said his figures did not include the ease
ments at either end Tho Major would
employ a new type of shield, which he
has patented. in the work and would line
the tunnel with concrete blocks. In
case his bid was rejected he offered to
permit any other contractor to use the
shield at what disinterested persons con-
sidered a fair price. the figure to be
based upon ne-fourth of the amount he
declared his shield would save in the
cost OF construction.
Gen. Goethals explained that he was
called in after plans for two single tubes
had been submitted to the Public Service
Corporation of New Jersey. which at
one time considered putting the project
through. He said that the cost of steel
made him turn to concrete. lie de-
clared the plan proposed by himself and
Major ORourkc TO be perfectly prac-
tIcable.
Amos Schaeffer consulting engineer
Of the Borough OF Manhattan. thought
the scheme was mot impossible" but
said the new shield and the concrete
blocks were both experiments. He
thought any appropriation passed by the
Legislature should be made without a
declaration in favor of any particular
style tunnel until after further investi-
cation. The foot Of Canal street was
the ideal place for IT, he said
Abram I. El<us, chairman of the Re
construction Commission, said 2. report
would be submitted to the Governor
after reports had been received from the
FIVE engineers who have been asked to
examine the various plans They are
Mr.. Schaeffer, II. D. Parsons, who de
signed the original subway system here :
George w. Fuller, George F. Kuntz and

Mr.. Brown thought the commission to

bers.

DIR. HODGE SAYS FEAR

War Is Promoted by Ants,
Lecturer Also Contends.

DR. Richard Morse Hodge. extension
lecturer of Columbia University. said in

war and opposes the efforts of those
who would defeat militarism. The lee
ture was the tenth in a series of twelve
on "A Democratic Peace
During war pacifsts divide the
forces which hate war into two camps"
said DIR. Hodge. "They betrav our lack
OF unity to the enemy, encourage him
IN his hope Of conquest and surrender
to the invader in advance and invite
him TO the foulest atrocities. During
peace paciflsts fight against military
preparations calculated to make an
enemy hesitate TO attack the country
and to enable our army to win n war
quickly and with a minimum of loss
OF blood and money while the war lasts.
SO paciilsm paves the way to war.
Some of those who are paclflsts be-
cause they are internationalsts shrink
from the shedding of blood OF the prole-
tariat OF one country by the proletariat
OF another but do not hesitate at the
Staying of the bourgeois by the prole

known is what men fear. If there is
any charge. however, which a pacinst

that of being afraid.
He is so terrified over being thought
afraid that he is afraid not TO conceal
his fears from himself. What the pa
ciflst needs is mirror, but he will not
look himself In the glass unless we in
woke his fears about himself by cutting
off all supplies of homage to his fancied

In one or more distributions Of to-

work. I will take pleasure in telling
the people in Murray's on Friday

Washington, Nov 10.--The first

reservations, was adopted by the SEN

only Republican voting in the mega
tive was Senator McCumber (RepO OF
North Dakota Three Democrats,
Reed Of Missouri, Gore of Oklahoma
and Walsh of Massachusetts stood
with the Republicans for the pream-
Bile.
The senate then took up the first OF
the committees II reservations, relat-
ing to withdrawal from membership
in the league. Senator Thomas
(Dem.), Colorado, moved to strike out
the provision that notice of withdraw
al could be given by a concurrent res
Olution of congress.
President Wilson told Senator Hitch

would be entirely satisfied with any
reservations supporters of the treaty

vidcd they did not nullify the League
Of Nations covenant and were de
signed for the purpose of interpreting
the terms of the treaty.
In the first test of strength on the

by vote of ~ to 40. to strike ont
the provision which would require dc-
ceptance Of the reservations by the
other powers.

Senator Hitchcock outlined his pro-

Sunerstition.

Everybody is superstitious ana II is
all right. At least it doesn't do any
harm---which is the same thing. 1t is
possible for one to carry his sppersti-
tions too far, perhaps; where super
stition interferes with ones enjoy
ment of life, or robs him OF something
in the way of contentment, 1t may not
be well. But it doesn't work that way
very often. Generally our supersu-
tions are trivial and do us no harm.
To carry coin in the pocket for luck I;
to comment about seeing the moon over
the left shoulder; to refuse to walk
under ladder; TO believe that II Is
bad luck to turn back, to make a wish
at the appearance of the first star of
the evening; 10 suppose II Is not well
TO break n mirror--which II isn't well
to do; to give heed to the thousand
and one little superstitions which are
entertained by the people, does no
harm whatever. They are all part of
the complexities of life. If you please,
and II we didn't entertain them, why,
we might be worrying about some
thing else.---Coiumbus Dispatch.
