CHANNEL TUNNEL
SCHEME AGAIN
STIRS ENGLAND

London, July DEMONSTRATION of a
tunnel under the English Channel to
connect England and France which.
according to government announce
ments. will soon begin, is a century,
old scheme preached to Napoleon by
the celebrated French engineer.
Matthew. Napoleon favored it but
nothing came of the plan owing to
war and Napoleons downfall. 1t was
not until Napoleon III came to the
French throne that actual prelimi-
nary work was undertaken, with the
approval of the French ruler and
Queen Victoria.
Then came the Franco Pruseian
war and the scheme again lapsed.
Shortly after that war a convention
was signed between France and Eng
land setting forth the conditions un-
der which the tunnel should be con-
structed. On the English side boring
operations were begun near Dover
at a depth of $50 feet and a seven
foot tunnel was bored for a distance
of 1000 yards. Strong opposition on
grounds of military strategy developed
in the British parliament against the
project and again it was dropped

WAR BRINGS
POVERTY TO
MONTENEGRO

Cettinje. Montenegro, July 14-Don't
think that the Montenegrin spends SO
much time at home. He doesn't, but
his wife and children do. The wife
does most of the work, the children
get most of the food, and father is
usually somewhere in the hills with
his fellow villagers fighting one an
other of the hereditary enemies If
their race.
A Montenegrin house is built of
stone, roughly laid in coarse mortar.
The roof is steep, of tile, or among
the very poor, of thatch. Only the
very well have anything but a dirt
floor. One or two rooms suffice for a
family. There is no chimney, the fire
being built in a corner of the room,
whence the smoke seeps out through
the roof best it can. A chain from
a beam above supports pot over the
fire, which like the other cooking
utensils. is made of copper, unless the
Austrians have carried off all the
copper for their munition plants, in
which case 1t is probably an ex-
Standard oil tin, or a Hoover bacon
can. There is little furniture-a
crude bedstead for the parents-the
children sleep on the floor-a few
stools and 4 couple of chests. a xack
against the wall holds some tiny
glasses and coffee cups. for all the
Balkan people drink a great deal of
homemade brandy, and Turkish cof-
fee.< For bedding there are coarse
blankets woven from the wool of the
village flock.

munity land, and with fair crops
there is sufficient for all But the
country has been al war almost con-
tinuously for seven years, and has
been occupied by the Austrians for
three. Everywhere the last years

COMMUNITY MARKET
SALE IN PENSACOLA
STILL BEING SOUGHT

Appealing TO Representative J. H.
Smithwick TO help put across the plan
for a great community market sale in
Pensacola of food supplies purchased
fro none of the government store
houses, the Central Trades Council is
continuing the work preliminary to
putting on such sale here Mr.
Smithwick has promised to use every
effort TO get a part of the supply of
the surplus stock for Pensa cola
The Trades Council at first took the
proposition UP with Mayor Sanders and
wires were dispatched to New Orleans
and Atlanta where two of the govern
ment store houses are located.
Mayor Sanders does not consider fl
nancinG the plan feasible, however at
the present time and it is doubtful if
the city will take any further action
in the matter.
Laboring men are determined to push
their plan to a successful conclusion
If possible and every effort will be
used to put the deal over.
