If we fail, the responsibilif for the next war rests on the shoulders | of the mothers of the world. ! “The first step is the ratification of the Kellogg peace pact. Until that leg-| islation is passed the sole business of | our international relations department is to urge its success. We have been | attending strictly to this business. We | have secured more than 3,945 resolu- | tions from various member clubs of the | federation which cannot fail to carry | weight in Congress, where the treaty now is being considered. ‘When this step is completed our work will not be done, but just begun. What the character of that work may be depends upon subsequent events. | ‘There is little difference of opinion in the General Federation as to adequate preparedness in America, but some dif- ference exists as to what constitutes such preparedness. This is not a ques- tion for clubwomen to settle, but for | experts in that line to determine. Let us turn our energies to backing con-| structive legislation for peace when outlined by experts rather than to at- tempting ourselves to outline plans for | obtaining the common end toward | which we all are working.” | Reports from the departments were | heard during the board sessions, an- | other interesting one being that of Mrs. Joseph Lindon Smith, chairman of the division of Indian affairs who urged | the clubwomen to press Congress to reinstate the $5,000,000 cut from the appropriation asked for the Indian Service. | “I believe in the budget system and | consider that the budget officials are | doing the best possible under national circumstances which necessitate an economy program,” said Mrs. Smith. “Nevertheless, I do not believe that it is wise economy at this time to permit | any cuts in the original estimates pre- | sented by the Indian Bureau officials.” Sk h RS. CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT and Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick will give interpretations of the Kellogg- Briand peace pact from the viewpoint | of the peoples of the various nations at the banquet opening the cause and cure of war conference tomorrow night. “An astonishing change in public opinion in favor of peace pacts instead |, of wars to settle international differ- ences has taken place in the five years since our committee has been organ- ized,” said Mrs, Catt, commenting on the call to the conference. “This might almost be called the peace-mak- ing century so radical and enormous has been the shift in favor of actual commitments between nations in order to eliminate war.” ‘The national committee which has an annual conference in Washington, Mrs. Catt explained, is the outgrowth of a desire on the part of women's groups to obtain exact and dependable information on causes leading toward war and the possible alternatives by ‘which peace may be established. In the contrasting subjects of im- portant addresses which will be made before the delegates this week is shown the scope of the conference Wwhich, its leaders declare, is not a “pacifist body,” but one brought together for open- minded discussion of all angles of the problems of peace and war in an effort to reach a conservative solution which | would point the way to permanent | peace. Capt. Thomas Schneider, U. | S. A, former aide to Gen. Pershing, will speak on “The Necessity of Pre- paredness for Defense,” while Paul Kellogg will discuss the “Peaceful So- lution of International Difficulties ‘Through Pacts.” During the course of the conference discussions of the real obstacles to na- ;,‘01?181 reduction of armament will be eld.

The cause for rejoicing over the suc- cess of the fund campaign was doubled by glowing accounts of the benefits re ceived from fellowships granted other associations during the past few years to women interested in graduate research work such as this association hopes to open the way to for its mem- bers in the future. Dr. Mollie Ray Carroll, graduate of Goucher College and the University of Chicago, told of her work under the Guggenheim fellowship, which gave her the opportunity to conduct research work in economics and sociology which proved invaluable to her. Dr. Esther Caukin, who was awarded the Mar- garet E. Maltby fellowship several years ago, conducted some unusual studies of the peace proposals of Germany and Austria-Hungary during the pe- war library “in a corner of Europe out in California.” This remarkable li- brary, she said, has many volumes still sealed, which have not yet been opened, nor will be opened to the people of the country for perhaps another 10 or 20 years. ~ With the exception of a few officials, the authors and the donors of these ks, no one knows their con tents today.

WASHINGTON, Roosevelts to Join Scientists in June To Explore Rivers Wilds of China Out- lined at Hongkong. By the Associated Press. HONKKONG, China, January 12 (#)—The hopes of the Kelly-Roose- velt Field Museum expedition were out- of Boston, just before he led the Indo- China division of the expedition on the road to Hanol. The Roosevelt broth- ers are hunting and exploring in West- ern China and the two parties are to meet in the Spring at the junction of China, Burma and Indo-China. In his outline, Mr. Coolidge said: “This division is going to Hanoi and after completing official arrangements there with the French Colonial govern- ment, we intend to proceed toward Laokay, on the Indo-China border. We shall use native ponies to cross the mountains and dugout canoes on the rivers. “We shall travel West as far as the Burma border and the Mekong River, collecting birds, mammals of all sorts and reptiles from this region, north- west to Tonking and_the Uorthern sec- tion of Laos. The Roosevelts mean- | while will be somewhere north of us in China, but they probably will descend the Mekong, which in that territory is known as the Lansan or the Cam- bodia, and meet us in the Spring at the point where Burma, China and Indo-China converge. “The combined parties then will go southward more than 1,000 miles down | | the Mekong, eventually reaching Saigon | |in the early Fall. In the event that | either party Is delayed in arriving at the rendezvous, the other is to proceed jon this route alone. The region where | our division will be working has not hitherto been visited by any naturalist so far as we know. It is rough and mountainous, the altitudes varying from 1,000 to 7,000 feet. The country is cut up by many swift streams which make cross country travel practically impos- sible after June.” GARDNER INAUGURATED GOVERNOR AT RALEIGH| i — | By the Associated Press. RALEIGH, N.

CASCADES TUNNEL, 100 MILES EAST OF SEATTLE, OFFICIALLY OPENED YESTERDAY, IS EXCEEDED BY ONLY FOUR OTHER BORES IN THE WORLD The Great Northern Project Brings West Coast Hour Nearer for Travelers. COMPLETED IN 3 YEARS Eliminates Snow Problem. Hailed as Engineering Achievement. BY H. H. SHELDON, Professor of Physics, New York University. The year just past has been marked by tunnel building. In spite of, or be- cause of, the efforts of our aviator friends to make us “air-minded” some have become tunnel-minded and have dug themselves deeper into the ground. Tunnels have become the mode in en- gineering. And each one is bigger than the last. The reverberations set up through the press and periodicals by the Hol- land Tunnel had not yet died out when a new and stronger note was struck by the Moffat Tunnel, for a few months America’s longest. Now comes the tun- nel through the Cascades, 100 miles east of Seattle and nearly 2 miles longer than the Moffat. It is about 8 miles in length and exceeded by only four tunnels in the world—the Simplon, St. Gothard, Loetschberg and Mount Cenis Tunnels in the Alps. It was officially opened yesterday. Greater Projects in Prospects. A tunnel nowadays has to be some- thing ultra-spectacular to be noticed. The tunnel at Detroit crossing under the river to Canada, now under con- struction, receives scant notice. The tunnel connecting Oakland, Calif., and Alameda is noticed only because it is not a tunnel at all, but a series of 12 segments, each 200 or 300 feet long, which were precast in concrete and steel, sunk and joined end to end. The next thrill may come with the build- ing of the much-discussed Calais-Dover | Tunnel under the English Channel, which it now appears may eventually be built, or from the Gibraltar tube, which, it is estimated, will cost $1,930,- 000,000 if built. The new tunnel through the Cas- cades which has been built by the Great Northern Rallway, brings the West Coast one hour nearer for trav- elers and three hours nearer for freight. The new Cascade Tunnel and approach, according to statistics, shortens the crossing by 9 miles, lowers the sum- mit 502 feet, eliminates curvature equivalent to more than 10 complete circles, reduces the mileage of maxi- mum 2.2 per cent grade crossing the Cascades by 18 miles, eliminates nearly 8 miles of mileage running through tun- nels and snowsheds by more than 2 miles and eliminates the snow problem, which has always been a matter of ex- pense and danger. ‘The advantage of this is at once ap- parent when it is known that snowfalls in this region frequently amount to a foot an hour and 20 to 30 feet of packed snow are not uncommon. Snow falls al- most every month in the year, and a total fall of 100 feet of snow or more may be expected annually. Called Engineering Feat. The completion of this tunnel in three years through difficult mountain country marks an achievement of en- gineering ingenuity. One naturally thinks of constructing a tunnel by be- ginning a bore at each end and having them meet in the middle. In order to construct this tunnel quickly, however, more than two points of attack were necessary, and so a shaft was sunk in a valley, about 21> miles from the east end, to the tunnel level, 622 feet deep. This afforded additional working faces, and tunneling in both directions from this shaft was begun. But even this was not enough. To | speed the work still more, resort was made to what was called a pioneer tun- nel. This tunnel was only 9 feet wide and 8 feet high and paralleled the main tunnel a little to the south. It was constructed so as to be always slightly ahead of the main tunnel, with open- ing$ to connect them about every 1,500 feet. Not only did this provide many more working faces, but it was also Main 3770 tant will be in our Toilet Goods 7 | used to carry out the rock and to bring in supplies. Through this tunnel ran the air cglduiu which supplied all parts of the main tunnel, the com- | pressed air pipes which furnished power for drills and the power lines which operated machinery and lighted the workings. This kept the main tunnel |free of all such accessories and free from trains. i Shortens Rail Route. | with workmen in the actual tunneling operations, but it also permitted others | to build the concrete lining without de- lay. In all, it was possible to employ 11,793 men, whereas but a small per- | centage of this number could have been used if work were done on but two faces. Besides this advantage, all dan- ger of interference by water through downgrade tunneling was removed. three years about 875,000 cubic yards {of rock and earth were removed and 1264,000 cubic yards of concrete placed. The completion of the present tunnel marks the second step in shortening the Great Northern route through the mountains. The original route, con- structed in the early 90s, went through Stevens Pass. This route was discon- tinued in 1900, when thc first Cascade tunnel was built. This tunnel, which was 21, miles long, shortened the route by 12 miles and lowered the summit by about 500 feet. The smoke produced by the steam locomotives in passing through this long tunnel made it nec- essary to electrify this section, and this was accomplished in 1909. In this electrification there is also a story, for the electric locomotives which were used were the first to use the principle of regenerative braking. When going down grade the system was reversed so that the wheels of the lo- comotive turned a generator which fed electrical energy back into the tracks which helped other locomotives in the up-hill climb. Each locomotive was a small generating station using the ac- ti.n of gravity to generate electricity. The new and larger locomotives which will be put into use on the 75 miles of track through the mountain, including the tunnel, are so construct- ed that this electrical braking will re- duce the speed of a heavy freight, train to two miles an hour without the use of air brakes. It will return to the tracks on the down-hill side about 35 per cent of the energy which it uses in the up- hill climb. Economy on the new loco- | motives is also gained by reeding elec- Main 3770 Not only did this prevent interference | | In n ¢ REAT NoRTMEAN RANBMY o LONGITUDINAL SECTiOR o EW CASCADE TUweeL.

The electrification cost approxi- mately the same amount as that of building the tunnel. The total cost is placed at $25,000,000 and tunneling at $14,000,000. No Longer Isolated. With the bullding of the tunnel it can no longer be sald that the West Coast is in any sense isolated from the rest of the country. The mountain bar- rier has been removed. It is not nec- essary for steam locomotives to start the long climb up the mountain against the natural obstacles of grade, snow and rock slides. With the grade re- duced to a minimum, with the distance greatly decreased, with the worst part of the route protected from the ele- ments of weather by the tunnel, power- ful electric locomotives will glide si- lently along the tracks, leaving behind them no ventilation problem. It is an_accomplishment of which we may all well be proud and one which will add greatly to the prosperity of all parts of the country. On Janu- ary 12 the Oriental Limifed made the initial journey through the tunnel. |KANSAS ATTORNEY TO DEMAND HEARING Lawyer for Barnett, Wealthy In- dian, Charges “Smokescreen” to Senator Pine.
