She is proceeding in a manner 'Imlll indicates that she will go through with tire| work. The plan is to connect Euorpean railroads| with he French Sahara Railroad, which’ will| connect with the Cape to Cairo road. Spain has appointed a commission to investigate the \\'Iml«-‘ project, and to Yeport cn it, the report to in- clude tentative plans for the tunnel. The c(ml-! mission already has begun work and it is ex—i pected to report within a few months. Previous estimates for the project have set| the time for constructing the tunnel at six years and the cost at $40,500,000. It is estimated | that the tunnel would have to be 23 miles in| length, though the Strait is only eight-and-one- | half miles wide. The longer distance would be| required to reduce the grade necessitated by the depth from the water surface to the tunnel bottom | The construction of the tunnel and conse-| quent hook-up it would give between ropean | and African railroad systems is counted upon to| be of great benefit to France, Belgium and Great| Britain as well as to Spain and Portugal and| | all parts of Africa. i RN 0 | PINCHOT SAYS PROHIBITION IS UP TO THE l’RE\Il)E‘\T i The Em-| According to a release received by pire from Gifford Pinchot, for publication on January 14, the former Governor of Pennsylvania, | ardent dry and suggestee for Secretary of the | Treasury by those ten million protestants against | the retention of Mr. Mellon, the President alone) §s responsible for the failure of Prohibition fll-i forcement.

If something else must wait, then let it wait. But in fact nothing need wait. For practical experience shows that every- thing here outlined, and much more, can be done withcut absorbing five per cent. of the President’s working time.
