Construction OF the long-talked-of tunnel
beneath the English Channel, furnishing easy
and almost instant transportation for British
soldiers to France, will give moro protection
to tho latter country than millions of soldiers
along its eastern frontier, and will remove
forever the menace of a recovered Germany.
The fact that work is to be started at once,
incidentally solving the unemployment ques-
ition, should make easier agreement Of
the entente nations at the peace conference.
When Germany, should it ever be able to
strike again, knows that in an hour British
forces can be put on French SOIL it will
not be likely to attempt a repetition OF its

Fice-President Marshall's asseveration that
he would rather eat some dirt than have
new war" to the public mind is wildly
reminiscent OF his attitude before the United
States entered the conflict with Germany,
when he was inclined to eat great deal
OF dirt rather than see his country take I'D
arms for world righteousness. Later the
Vice-President saw and openly and frankly
declared the of his conception of the
struggle in which America was engaged, but
he seems to have suffered at least a partial
relapse. But he has no cause for worriment,
Tor with the league OF nations as planned
by the President in operation there will be
no new war and no necessity for any one to
eat dirt in any quantity except those who
are attempting to thwart 1t.
