THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1916, i | FOR IMMEDIATE SERVICE AT i THE FRONT Lieuts, Lanos, Wilson and Doran Ac- cepted--The Former Is Now In France With the 75th Battalion, { Prof. J. M. Lanos has received the | following from his son, Lieut. Victor | LanDs, who recently went to England | with a draft of officers: : "The call has come, pérhaps just a little sooner than you or anyone else | suspested There has beén very | heavy fighting on the Somme front, 'and the casualties, as you may sur- | mise, are great, very great. As an | | inevitable consequence a call came | this afternoon (Saturday Sept. 9th) | for 200 officers to volunteer immedi- ately for service at.the front, Wilson | Doran and myself gave our names, | and we were lucky eirough'to be ac- | cepted. I am off on Monday for the | trenches with the 75th Battalion. My | mail should hengeforth be addressed | in care of The Army Post Office, | London, England. { "Of course I think of Kingston and | my friends and wellwisherg, but I | am far fram being a stranger among | strangers here. My chief instructor | in bombing was Capt. Thompson, an ex-cadet, one of our staff officers, | Capt. Daniels, was another R.M.C. man, and I saw Capt. Reiffenstein and Major Hubble almost every day. Finally, yesterday, on my way from Folkestone where I had been 'calling on Dr. Chown, I was talking to an officer of the Canadian Engineers, who informed me also that he was from the R.M.C., his name is Hil- Hard. Moreover 1 come across Queen's students, everywhere, and feel proud to be called to do my "hit" by the side of these men and many others who have already bled for| their country.

The 154th, 156th and 156th Bat- talion tents were struck early on Monday morning and the floors were all thoroughly scrubbed. Lieut. Patterson, 155th Battalion, has returned from a visit with friends in Toronto and other points. Corpl.

' There seems to be fair promise that, after the war, another of the great engineering feats of the world -will be seen in the long-delayed con- struction of the Channel Tunnel from Dover to Calais" And if this be.accompiished, 'pe stupendous work will over the forces of Nature. The Alps have been bored again and again, the latest achievement of! the Simplon Tunnel being the great- est. Niagara Falls "ave been nar- nessed, and the Suez and Panama Cunals cut. . It was only the other day that the shareholders of the Channel Tunnel Company received from the directors their annual report, in which they said" "The Board bas watched with in- terest the growing moxgment: of Huh- lic opinfon in favor of the tunnel, but has abstained from taking any active | part therein." To ascertain the latest phase of af- | fairs about the tunnel prospects and the views held by people on both sides of the Channel, an Answars mae paid a visit to London Bridge, and had the opportunity of a very in- teresting chat with a high official of the company, who told him that the feeling in France in favor of the work was now® particularly strong, and that the railway on the other; side of the Channel, which would link yp with the English railway, had of late warmly revived the hope | of seeing the great work carried through. It is over for.y years ago namely, in 1874--that the first concession for | such a tunnel, to start at Calais, was obtained from the French Govern- ment. In 1875 the Channel Tunnel Comy pany obtained an English Act of Parliament to commence experimen: tal work in St. Margaret's Bay, le the east of Dover. For years nothing really practical o | Was done, and then at last work was begun in earnest, and by July of { 1882 some 2,026 yards oi the tunnel had been made, or well over a mile. It was owing to the interventifin of the Board of Trade and a terrific war of opposition to the tunnel that the works suspended when it was, in the year before the out- break of the wiar--namely, 1913--- the scheme was revived by his Majes- [ty"s. Government calling for reports on it by the Admiralty, the War Of- | fice, and the Board of Trade, such re- | ports to be submitted to the Commit- tee of Imperial Defence for subse- quent decision by the Cahinet. And then the war came. Then there was the "invasion" scare, and on that point Major-Gen- eral Sir Alfred E. Turner, K. C. B., remarked in' October, 1913: "The tubes would be ventilated by artifi- cial means, which could at any mo- ment be arrested with the certainty of asphyxiating every living being in the tunnel" It would thus seem clear that an attempt to use the tunnel for purposes of invasion would be infin- itely more deadly to the assailants than the assailed." A Life of Fraud. "You have evidently been leading a life of systematic fraud for some time past," remarked the Recorder at the Old Bailey to John George Kingham, 62, described as a mort- gage broker, who was convicted of obtaining, and attempting to obtain, money from the executors and rcla- tives of army officers killed at the front, by false pretences and with intent to defraud. Accused, as "Newton and Co," according to the prosecution, had adopted a system of making bogus claims on the cstates of deceased officers for monays either alieged to have been lent by him to them as a friend or amounts alleged to have been guaranteed by leceased towards the expenses of promoting the National Unity Insurance Co., which he was promoting. At the time of his arrest prisoner's bank balance was 4d., and he owed C15 1568 rent of, the office in Queen Vie- ria street, and a sum of £31 4s In of an unsatisfied judgment for rent of his flat at Cranworth Gar- dens, Brixton. A previous conviction at Cardiff wa: proved against prison- er for an exactly similar class of fraud. Eighteen months' nard labor, All Must Pull Out. Sir George Paish, commenting at the National Economy Exhibition vn the--task of finding this year 1,800 millions sterling for the war, said that at the present moment the na- tion was consuming, including what was leat to our Allies, something like £600,000,000 worth of goods per anaum more than it could pay for out of its own resources, and this at a time when nearly 5,000,000 of our male population Were engaged in war. The army of women oa. and the fact that everyone was willing to work harder and for longer hours than before, alone enabled pro- ductive capacity of the nation to be rank beside | the.other wonderful triumphs of man | «I EATEN News| At The Grand, The Bill at the Grand Opeta House | { the first half of this week is certainly |} | very fine.

A large and appreciative audience greeted the bill. presented at the| Strand last evening. The headliner | was Douglas Fairbanks in his latest Triangle success in five acts entitled | "Flirting With Fate," a comedy | drama that is filled with lots of id and a thousand laughs. A two-part Keystone comedy, "Wings and Wheels," is also very amusing. On the vaudeville end of the bill the Manetta Duo, who have made such a decide hit with Kingstonians, ren- dered several decidedly fine numbers which were well received.
