The English Channel scheine, with its prospect of a trip from London to America by rail, is of considerable interest to Liverpool shipowners (says the Liverpool Evening "Ex- press").
It is proposed that the Orient Ex-" press should leave London, where the new, large station required will, probably be built of the south bank of the Thames, at noon for Con- stantinople, via Paris, Germans and Austria-Hungary. A quarter of an hour later a train will leave Charing Cross, for Brussels, Berlin and Petrograd. providing communica tion with the Crimea
and Central Russia. At further short intervals express will leave for the | Riviera, Rome, Bordeaux, Madrid, Algerla. Lisbon, and in the east for Finland, Sweden and Norway. Com munication with the Far East, in- cluding China and Vladivostock, would to possible.
The construction of a tunnel from the Asiatic side of the Behring Strait, where there is already a railway, to Cape Prince of Wales, near Dawson City, Alaska, would enable a passen- ger to make a through railway Journey from London to Canada, the United States, and South America.
"One shipowner, informed our re presentative that as the tunnel would not be constructed for probably five years it was early in the day to formulate any idea as to how the

Another shipping authority declar ed that the tunnel would attract a great deal of traffic in perishable goods. The continental trade in that class of goods would be developed, as the goods would thus be delivered, "probably at a cheaper rate certainly, more expeditiously, and in all likelihood in a better condition. Other classes of cargo, the bulky and more valuable stuff, would probably still go by. ship. The whole question could, however, only be discussed in the abstract, and noth ing would be gained by jumping to conclusions at this early stage of the scheme..
SHIPS WILL HOLD THEIR OWN,
Sir Norman Hill, secretary of the Liverpool. Steam. Ship Owners Association, put forward the view that, so far as the cargo trade was concerned, the ships would continue to hold their own. At the highest. estimate a luggage trait would not carry more than 600 tons, while a home trading vessel, would carry. between 2,000 and 1,500, Moreover, ships travelled to. the nearest point to where the cargo was wanted. Trains, on the other hand, went to une destination.
The war has destroyed all the theories, and it does not matter where you land your cargo so long as you get it into the country. You have only begin your difficulties" then. The cong tion at Liverpool was bad enough during the war, but that cone gestion was not due to any shortage of ships, but to the power of dise tribution from the port.
"The idea of one universal rail-bead in France for Europe is impossible and "fantastic. There is no port în the world that would compare with the volume of trafic concentrated there. It would be trying to do the work of a score of ports, and that is not possible.
"For passengers, mails, and parcels, the Channel scheme seems to be a good proposition. But that is not likely to interfere with shipping in any other than a local sense. Indeed to carry passengers-by rail- Marseilles and Brindisi,then to from the United Kingdom to
connect them up with China and India boats, might prove to be ad advantage in the development of travel in that direction."

COMMITTEES AT WORK IN PARIS
The Matin" of Paris says great connecting link ber tween France and England is at loat to be made. The two Governments have agreed to construct the Channel tunnel. A committee is sitting in Paris, and is discussing the plans submitted for the French side by the engineers of Nord Company, and for the English side by marine, and railway engineers, as to the mode of construction and the dificulties, likely, to be met with.
