CHANNEL TUNNEL COST ESTIMATED AT 100MILLI0N New Enterprise Will Rank Next to Panama Canal in Magnitude. (Br Aaaoclated Tress)' LONDON, April 4 Intense interest has been aroused by the government's announcement that the long projected tunnel under the English Channel to connect England and France is soon to be constructed. The cost of the enterprise Is roughly estimated at $100,000,000. Some say the tunnel could be completed in 6 1-2 years. A commission in Paris which has been discussing this project also is considering the building of tunnels under the Bosphorus connecting Europe -with Asia and one from Gibraltar connecting Europe with Africa. The English Channel Tunnel company has done a vast amount of work In anticipation of the resumption of actual construction of the tunnel to France. Engineering plans are said to be so far advanced that the work could begin at once. With the exception of the Panama canal, It will be the biggest engineering enterprise of modern times. The total length. Including approaches In England and France, will be 32 miles, with more than 21 1-2 miles of it under :he sea. The plans provide for two r tunnels, each eighteen feet In diameter, connected by cross galleries at Intervals of 200 yards. The maximum depth of water on the route is 180 feet, and a cover of chalk about 100 feet thick would be left undisturbed above the crown of the tunnel to provide against danger from enemy attack with submarine explosives. The tunnel's level below the sea thus will be about 280 feet. Trip In Six Hour Iron tubes will be built as the tunnel advances. The extraordinary1 advance made in tunneling in recent years, especially In the United States, will enable the engineers to proceed with great speed. The railway lines will be operated by electricity as in the case of the Simplon tunnel under the Swiss mountain of that name, and

which is 12 1-2 miles in length, the longest at present In the world. Before the war the quickest service from London to Paris was In six hours 45 minutes. With the tunnel the Journey could be made in six hours, whatever the weather. Speaking of the problems of building the tunnel, English engineers say tlio sea itaolf offers no difficulty, that the only risk lies In the geological formations. The first layer under the channel is white chalk, and beneath this Is a belt of gray chalf some 300 feet thick. The great question is whether the gray chalk is impervious to water. The exact points for starting the tunnel have not been determined but expert opinion favors a spot Just behind Dover, and In France, a point cIofo to Cape Grisnez. The tunnel will be capable of handling 30,000 passengers and 30,000 tons of goods each way in 24 hours. Ordinary railway rolling stock, including

deeping ana aining cars, win ue aDio to use the route.

MIKE OR NEIL'S IN FRANCE, BUT NO ONE IS CERTAIN WHICH

(By Associated Press) CAMP SHERMAN, CHILLICOTHE, O., April 4. One's Mike and 'tether's Nell, but which is which the officers and men at Camp Sherman can't tell. The soldiers in question are twins, Neil and Mike L. Shea, who were brought to camp with a draft contingent from Green Bay, WTis. Literally they are alike as two peas. The top sergeant of their company told them apart only on the circumstantial evidence that Mike's right shoe had a

patch on the toe. That was the only j

difference. Each answered to the other's name on occasions. One day early last fall the jompany was lined up and an officer appeared with a long list of names of soldiers chosen for overseas duty. "Mike L. Shea," was the first name called by the officer. Two soldiers stepped one pace to the front and came to attention. "Mike L. Shea," repeated the officer. "WThlch one of you is Mike?" shouted the officer. "Speak up!" "I am, sir," answered a duet in perfect harmony. "Which one of these men is Mike?" the officer injuired of the top sergeant. "This one's Mike, he said, looking at their feet. The officer pointed to the one with no patches on his shoes and ordered him back into the ranks, threatening him with kitchen police duty. A soldier of the command claims that on going into the barracks shortly afterwards, he was a witness to one of the strangest games of chance

with the strangest things at stake he had ever seen. Two soldiers alike as peas sat on a cot. One of them held a coin ready to flip. "Heads I'm Mike, tail's you'r Nell," began the one with the coin. "Oh no, you don't! Head's I'm Mike and tails you're Mike." And so it was settled. The coin was flipped and it fell motionless on the floor. A .few minutes later the twins hastily changed Ehoes and one of them threw his belongings into a kit bag and reported to the captain. The officer satisfied himself that the soldier wore shoes, one of which contained a patch on tho toe. Thereupon that soldier started on the long trip to France, and the front. The other twin remained in camp and is still here. Mike or Neil is coming back soon and not until he does get back will the curiosity of the members of the old command be satisfied If the boys care to tell then. . 1

at 1:30 o'clock at the home, 220 South Fourth street. Services will be held at St. John's Lutheran church at 2 o'clock. Rev. A. L. Nicklas will officiate. Burial will be in Lutherania. Friends may call any time.
