Channel Tunnel
Soon Under Way
England and France to Use
German Labor in
Construction.

LONDON, July 3.-Construction of
a tunnel under the English channel
between France and England will!
begin soon as the result of the in
vention of a rapid boring device
and of the French movement to
utilize German labor and machin-
cry on the project in lieu of cash
reparations.
This statement was made today
at the meeting of the Channel Tun-
mel Company, which was founded
In 1870. Baron Emile Beaumont
d'Erlanger asserted that the new
device will greatly shorten the
time required to construct the tun-
mel.
The borer has rotary action and
slices through the chalk formation
automatically ejecting the material
excavated, providing itself with a
moving steel shield and tubular
tunnel plates.
Recently 1 became Respondent
regarding the scheme" said Baron
D'Erlanger, but my hopes were
ouoyed up considerably with the
advent of the new machinery and
the revived interest in the channel
tubes as shown at the dinner given
by Paul Cambon, former French
Ambassador to London, and the
channel committee in the house Of
commons. The subject Of the chan
mel soon will be debated in parlia-
ment. where a great majority of the
members are in favor of the pro-
ject."

the countries bordering Russia
agree to a Limitation Of land forces
program Russia is willing to reduce
its forces to 500 600. which will de-
crease its army costs to one-tenth
of the expenditures.
The requests of allied and neutral
delegates for permission to send a
commission to study the economic
situation in Russia will be NIT with
consent to the sending of engineers
and experts to investigate mining
and other industries in specific
places only.

President Samuel Gompers. OF the

CARDS the action OF the Railroad La
Dor Board in -outlawing the six
striking railway shopcrafts unions a.
utterly Bolshevik in character.
Although the board has ordered that
new organizations be formed. Com
pers declares this command fmpos-
sible Of fuifllment because trade
unions are voluntary organizations OF
workers. formed IN response 10 their
demand, to serve their needs and to
respond to their democraticaly ex-
pressed will and desire"
Gompers does not believe any new
unions will be formed in cc=p-snce
with the boards outlawing order.
IF anything could have been cal
culated to inspire the workers with
determination TO win a victory 20
democratic methods and for justice
in their employment" Gompers said.
this action OF the board will nave
that result
The Unions IN the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor are permanent They
are a part of American life. They
have definite principles. every one Of
which is absolutely American.
The action Of the board is exactly
q replica OF the action OF the Com
munists in turning the unions into
government-controlle agencies for
carrying out the orders Of the state.
Freedom OF expression vanishes under
the order OF the board. But the work
ers Of America. either on the rail-
roads or elsewhere. do not intend to
sacrifice freedom OF expression and Of
action"

logical outcome OF the establishment
Of such boards, and that the Railroad

DUBLIN, July 3.-Accepting cap
ture of their positions as inevitable
Irish rebels began deserting their
defenses tonight and were fleeing
to the south of Dublin in small
groups carrying such arms. ammu-
milton and hand grenades as they
were able. Their fortified buildings
were seen to burst into flames
about midnight.
The escaping rebels were report
ed to be concentrating south OF
the city in preparation for a guer-
rilla campaign in the open coun-
try. Many were captured while
trying to escape.
They apparently gave Hp all hope
after standing for nearly twenty
four hours under the heavy she'll
ing and gun Gre of the Free State
troops who were gradually closing
In around the Gresham and Ham
nam hotels in Sackville street.-The
rebel strongholds.
Rebels Bottled Up.
Just before midnight all ap-
proaches were cut off by the Free
State troops and the rebels were
bottled in their small fortress by
the regulars. who were laying down
a barrage from the opposite side of
Sackyille street. Capjtulation of the
entire position was expected at any
time.
Free State troops took measures
to cut of the escape of the fleeing
rebels by barrjeading all bridges
leading out of Dublin. All persons
passing either Tay were vigorously
searched.
Two efforts at a truce were made
during the day by the rebels but
both failed because the Free State
forces held out for an unconditional
surrender. The last effort was made
about 1880 p. m. today, when firing
practically ceased in the Sackville
area. But this failed and lighting
was resumed after a short interval.
Priest Seeks Truce.
Earlier the rebels sent out Father
Albert, who had been their chap
lain in the Four Courts before it's
fall. He left the Gresham Hotel and
proceeded to the headquarters of
the provisional government, where
he asked for a truce on behalf of
the rebels. The provisional govern
ment insisted upon an unconditional
surrender. Father Albert returned
and fighting went ahead.
The rebels fought against great
odds as the battle continued into
the darkness tonight. The regulars
were strongly fortified in surround
ing buildings with their guns over
looking the rebel positions in the

WALTER REED MAN
PROVING HISCUIT
GIVEN THREE YEARS
Confession Here Brought
Conviction in Court
At Buffalo, N. Y.

Maintaining his assertion that he
was guilty of a crime for which
two other men were serving long
sentences, an allegation which
caused Washington police and ply
sicians at Walter Reed Hospital to
probe his mentality for nearly a
week, Robert Martlew. formerly a
soldier patient of the Walter Reed
Hospital, was sentenced to three
years in the prison at Auburn, n. Y,
upon his conviction by the Buffalo
authorities.
Early in March. Martlew walked
into the First precinct station and
surprised police officials with thrill
ing incidents of a hold-up staged
In Buffalo several years ago in which
baker was seriously shot as he
was leaving his shop. Martlew told
the police he did the shooting and
that the two men now serving
twenty-year sentences for the crime
were innocent.
Police doubted Martlew's story
and instead of holding him for the
Buffalo authorities, they turned him
over to the physicians of Walter
Reed Hospital for mental observa-
tion.
For nearly a week the hospital
authorities labored with the soldier.
Upon reaching a decision that Mart
lew was telling the truth six ply
sicians requested police to commu-
nicate with Buffalo.
Martlew was then lodged in the
First precinct station and several
days later was taken to Buffalo In
charge of Detective Sergt. Alex
Dougherty of that city.
Relating the incidents of the
crime in the same manner as he told
them to the local hospital and po-
lice authorities, he was convicted.
