For our part it seems absurd that Great Britain should allow the invasion bogey to retard the construction of a valuable traffic link, especially as that link, ac- | cording to British and French engineers, is so easy to forge, Apart from the facility with which the English end could be defended or destroyed, it would be materially impossible, for an invading army of any strength to |be poured through the tunnel in face of a hostile force. The military objections cannot there- fore be taken seriously, and we wish all success to the present campaign which, needless to say; owes its origin to the recent suc cessful visit of President Poincare to London. Turning to the senti mental aspect of the question, apart from the practical, Great Britain's consent to the Úhannel" tunnel would be an "irrefutable mark of confidence, and a unique, tangible demonstration of the reality of the Entente Cordiale.

Statesmen and Their Salaries.
It is conceivable that a Prime Minister might make twonty... thousand a year if he had con- fined himself to practice at the SOUTH Parliamentary Bar; men of less CHINA capacity have done so. It ia possible, again, that a party manager elever enough to run an American caucus might, smass wealth beyond the dreams of avarice if be turned his attention to Wall-street and the banks. The only safe rule is the old one: politics, like art, ought not to be estimated mainly in terms of dol- lars and sovereigns.

-Infanticide in China,
It is very well known that in- judicious feeding is" very largely responsible for the enormicas mortality in Chins, but there is also overwhelming testimony that in many part China infanticide i common enough. Dr. Dudgeon, in a pamphlet on "The DiseaseEN of China, described infanticide. as quite a common practice in Shanei.The teachers," he | wrote, “deny that female infants are thus killed, but the common people readily admit that they destroy many of their girl babies. There are comparatively few old women of the poorer classes who have not been guilty of the ori- me. This writer say it has been calculated that of every thousand girls born in Chius sixteen are smothered at birth, to avoid the "calamity and disgrace. of having another girl in the house; while Mr. Dyer Ball declares that from enquiries made in some vil. lagen in the Province of Fokien "It was ascertained that an aver age of 40 per cent. of the girls. were thus murdered, as we call it, but neither, Ohinese law hor
