.ill illG liilEL PROJECTS TALKED OF BY EUROPEANS One Would Connect England !- With Mainland Another With ' Ireland, Third ,at Gibraltar FOURTH UNDER BOSPORUS British No Longer Fear; Invasion v From' France in View of Devel "' opments of Recent War. . J London. April 12. (I. N. S.)An era of tunneling beneath the seas, destined to link up the continents: of the old world as closely commercially aa : the proposed League of Nations would po I litically, has dawned.;' ;',X. ,:.v;:S; Four Important sub-sea railway tun ! nela Jiave come before the chancellories of Europe and the most important of all, f the one that would link England with : France, already has been decided upon. JjThe others are: ; '. A tunnel beneath, the Straits of Gib raltar, making rail traffic between Spain and Africa possible. ; Spain favors the : proposal.''. ,. ; ,:V:!'.!:'.:'i ' 'w;-M A tunnel beneath the Bosphorus which ; would make a' rail Journey-possible be ; tween .London and Bag-dad, after the i channel tubes are drilled, for only a mall part of the Bagdad railway re ; mains to be laid. t - . A tuhnel connecting Ireland and Enr ' land. ; which would make? Ireland the quick entry door, via London, to the Con tinent for Americans and others in a hurry. The channel tunnel, for which $125, ; 000,000 may be necessary with seven years' time for completion, would, it is : confidently believed, in both govern ment and business circles, Instill new life Into London, for direct shipment and Journeys to Paris, Berlin, Petrograd. Madrid, Home and Constantinople would i be possible. The world's largest city, it is believed, would draw even a greater share of Europe's commerce, with the aid of a tunnel bringing in and carrying out trains every ten minutes, than . she ever had in the past. - With plans under way for enlarging-the-port of London sea traffic, the channel tunnel creates no discord tri the commercial symphony which British business men are now composing. Idea Acceptable KTow ' The war made the tunnel idea ac ceptable. 1 For more than a hundred years, especially since Napoleon's time, Kngland has feared - Invasion,, and ;. the best military brains of the land for de cades held to the opinion that such an Invasion would be facilitated. Bat, the war, bringing huge armies,' proved how ridiculous the . tunnel 'invasion - theory really was. As If a modern army could deploy frortrthe mouth of a tunnel t The experts nowtiold that the only fear Eng land ever need have is an Invasion by air. . -. So the work halted in 1832, after some 2000 yards of tunnel had been dug under Jthe channel, is to be resumed, the work furnlwhlngcniploymest (forfthouaansrtof demobilized soldiers. Parliament stopped theV'tunnel project in ; 1882 -be- "- cause it was convinced Britain's destiny ; was uouna up in isolation., '. The mouth of the tunnel on the Eng A lish side will be near Dover, hence under : protection of , one of England's most i formidable naval bases, f, In, addition, i the tunnel plans call fori water tight ; locks a mile long which can be flooded, making the tunnel useless,. if desired. Thus will the desires of "protection" be : met. Some .of the salient features of the tunnel will be: - " ; ' Deptli below surface of sea, 280 feet at least, the greatest depth of the chan nel water being 180 feet. Thus there will be ample protection of 100 feet or more of -chalky earth formation for the tubes, i two . in number, which will -be steel encased.1 " Length, from near Wisaant, not far from Calais, to near Dover,' 32 miles. - Estimated time to traverse by elec-, . trlcally propelled trains. 35 minutes. Transport facilities will care for 30,000 passengers and 30.000 tons of goods every 24 hours, four hours being allotted for maintenance repairs. Trains will run from London to Paris without a stop in less than six hours.

While it has not yet been determined whether private contractors or Ahe govr ernraent will superintend building opera tions,' it is certain that the jninlstry of transport will have - charge of Great Britain's part in operating the tunnel when 1 completed. 8ir Eric Geddes, Ja3 minister , of of transportation, may have the task; of general supervision f con struction. -.; " v - . . -j - A "I think there, will be four tunnels under the channel within 10 years, and possibly, more later on." said Sir Arthur Fell, discussing the project, - which he believes', will-not'-, take longer than live years to complete.; TW may be able to motor to Paris." . ; ' '. :- M'.

" "The tunnel will "preferably consist of two tubes, as In the case of the Simplon tunnel (12 miles long) in the Alps? The reason for adopting two tunnels-include better facilities for drainage, ventilation, repairs and greater safety in case of derailment. At intervals of 200 yards oblique, cross tunnels wlB be formed both to enable ' empty carriages ?to be brought in on one line and .dispatched by the other,' and also to permit a most excellent system of ventilation to be installed. : The tunnels would bo worked, ventilated ' and pumped by an electrical station' 10 miles.

Y Eliot, V Secretary. Films of the scenic and natural beau ties of Oregon: which were prepared by the Portland t Chamber ef - Commerce, Portland Ad club .and the Rotarians to send to France with William A.

Eliot says in his letter that the films and slides which he took to France last fall, have already been shown to 50,000 soldiers and that particular inter- Mest is taken in the pictures of the Rose Festival. The letter is as follows: j. "It is now four months since I left the City of . Roses and, for the past three months have : been wandering - around France, showing the. Oregon reels to the boys. My "show has made a- hit every where, I am using 60 colored slides of the common birds of America, then three reels of Flnley's birds and animals of Oregon and two reels of the Chamber of Commerce.: The whole show takes one and three fourths hours.
