The shaft openâ€" ing into the wheat field was dug to within a foot of the surface, and twentyâ€"nine officers, including Lieut. Garland, were instructed by C:ptginl Gray that they must be ready to enter the tunnel on five minutes‘ no-‘ tice. The suspicion that the Germlnl’ were searching for the tunnel caused the captain to limit the time within which his comrades would make ready for their escape. k "I was warned at three o‘clock ane morning, to be at the entrance of the lumber room in five minutes," said Lieut. Garland. ~New surveys were made by Capâ€" tain Gray and Lieut.

His efforts to escape were detected by the anardg and he was brought back. His atâ€" tempt to cut the wire resulted in the German commander ordering a speâ€" cial guard for the weakened barrier.

With th tunnel the journey could be done ir six hours, whatever the weather. The customs examination could be carried out in the trains.

Worked By Electricity, The present plans provide for the building of two tunnels, each €ighteen *) feet in diameter, connected by cross @alleries at intervals of 200 yards. The lines would be worked by elecâ€" tricity as in the case of the Simplon tunnel, which is twelve ail a half miles long, and at present tha longest, The maximum depth of water on | the route is 180 feet, and a cover of chalk 100 feet thick would be left undisturbed above the crown of the tunnel to provide against any danger from an enemy or the sea, so that the tunnel would descend to a level of about 200 feet below the sea‘s sur face Iron tubes will be built up as the tunnel advances, precisely 2s in the London tubes. Owing to the extraâ€" ordinary advance in the art of tunnel ling in recent years the work could be done quickly and it is estimated that the tunnel jtself could be comâ€" pleted in five or five and a half years, The cost before the war was est1â€" mated at $30,000,000, which amount now probably would have to be conâ€" Sidembly Un ons mt 0400 amontl n e L C COCCV TCP WV YA iderably increasedâ€"to $100,000,000, r even $125,000,000, The working xpenses before the war were calcu ited at $2,100,000 a year and the in ome at $7,750,000, but both estimates robalily would now have to be exâ€" hadsa _ The first work was done on the _ tunnel in 1874 when a French comâ€" pany s@ank an experimental shaft in France. In 1881 the Southâ€"Eastern Railway Company‘s chairman, Sir E. Watkin, obtained an act permitting him to sink a shaft on the English side. A boring was driven for 2,015 yards toward the Channel, when in 1882 the construction was stopped by the government _ Since then the scheme has been in abeyance, but in 1913 the government called for reâ€" ports from naval and military authorâ€" ities with a view to permitting the construction if they were favorable. Then the war came and nothing more could be done. The construction of the Channel tunnel, says the London Daily Mail, will, with the exception of the Panâ€" ama Canal, bo the most stupendous engineering enterprise yet planned. The total length, including the apâ€" proaches in England and France, will be thirty miles, of which rather more than twentyâ€"one and a half miles will be under the sea. > Channe! Tunne!
