MKXICO CITY, Aug. 29. Tho de
struction of the so-called Vera Cruz
Issue of Mexican currency and the
Issuance of the new paper money
known as "Infalslflcables" have
made the government printing office
one of the busiest spots in Mexico.
The Vera Cruz bills, over 50,000.-
000 worth of which have been de
stroyed, are cut into strips In .a
hydruullc press, transformed Into
pulp and made Into cardboard and
pasteboard of which there Ib a great
scarcity. This product finds a ready
sale and It Is possible that the gov
ernment may also destroy old docu
ments to produce material for a gov
ernment box factory In the near fu
ture. The department now Is working at
high pressure to turn out the new
lnulslflcttble" 2 bills, Borely
needed because of the scarcity of
small change. Not only the modern
presses, but even tho old hand
presses are being utilized to expe-
lato the work.
The tremendous nuantlty of post-
ards and stamps printed under the
uertu roglme are being revalidated
by the. Impress 'of a Bpeclal dye,
chunglng the denomination.
The stamping out of copper coins
has lieen begun and It Is announced
this Is to be followed shortly by the
coinage of both gold and silver.
PARIS, Aug. '.Ml. Franco has
taken all the necessary steps lo en-
er into negotiations with England to
uild jointly a tunnel under the Eng
lish ehuniicl to connect the two conn-
lies, the long-tnlked-of project
which thc war bus revived because it
has demonstrated ns nothing else
could, the vulue of the tube to both
countries.
Had the tunnel been in existence
duriinr the present conflict it would
lave been of immeasurable value to
Ongland and France fur the transpor
tation of troops and supplies and
would have liberated French unil Brit
ish war vessels from one of their big
gest tasks.
The plans were outlined by M. Sur-
tiaux, chief engineer of the Nord Rail
way company, who is one of the
strongest advocates of the project.
lie said :
The tunnel will cost 1 0,0(10,000
umiiils, hall' of which would he borne
y England and half by France. Each
country would bore one-half of the
tunnel. Well, Krifain is spending just
now (i, 000,000 nounds per day anil
France 1,000,000 pounds, so that two
days' wartime expenditure of both
ountries would more than cover the
cost of making (ho tunnel.
"It is proposed lo mako two tun
nels, one for traffic from France to
England, another for traffic from
England to France. Some people
seem to think a cross-channel tunnel
might be a danger, because it mighl
full into the hands of Ihe enemy. To
cupturc the French end would not be
an easy task. The month of Ihe tun
nel on French soil would be ten miles
from the coast, and in order to reach
it the enemy would have to capture
Cnlnis, and negotinte three intervca-
ng hills of un average height of l"i(l
feet.
'The tunnel on the French sidi
would begin its journey under sea at
Sangatte. In my belief, U would be
mpossihle for nn enemy to reach the
mouth of the tunnel and get at the
leetric plant. The motive power could
he instantly suppressed and the tun
uel immediately tvudcred useless bv
filling it wilh poisonous gas."

face. In a community like ours,, all are neighbors aud friends, working to
gether. Our interests are common. We are all in busiuess together. Our bus
iness is holne-town development. Unlike the overcrowded city, our community
has a soul. -We tamper with our co-.::r.:::!!.;,--c2ul- y. Uc;:c yu' v. c boycott home
interesfsT'Then let us keep our conscience clear, let us so live that we can at
any time look our neighbors in the face knowing that no action of ours is hold
