(CHANNEL TUNNELS

STRONG DENUNCIATION BY THE BERVICE:

·PATERS,

The new proposals for constructing & Chan nel Tunnel have naturally stirred military opinion, which stems, sp to the present, to be very hostile-as hostile as it was over twenty years ago, when the attitude of the War Office Hecided the policy of the Government, and, caused the rejection of the Bill. Now, however, it is known that many leaders of military opinion no longer hold the opinions which sa profoundly biassed the older school of thought

Still, the opposition is certain to be power ful, and it is, therefore, necessary carefully to sal.forth the line of agreement. We therefore ommence to do so by piluting extracts from the two leading military paper, the "Army and Navy Gazetie" and the "Broad Arrow," adding thereto, as it is apropos significant endorse ment of their policy by the Spectator. Be- fore so doing, however, the main outlines of the scheme may be again set out as follows:-

Total cost. £16,000,000

Two limited companies (French and Rog lish)..

Capital of each. £8,000,000,

Each company builds to the middle of the Channel.

Two parallel tunnels to be constracted.

*24 miles under sta

Total length

30 miles with land approaches, To be finished in ten years time (maxi nium),

"May be worked electrically.

Total duration of journey-35 minutes. Provision for diplomatic control by "each" Covernment.

THE “ARMY AND NAVY GAZETTE." This is an extract from this week's leader in the "Army and Navy Gazette ";

* If England is ever to be invaded, we shall have no warning of the event, War, more than ever, begins with a word and a blow, the blow coming first. The Japanese did not wait a declare war before they delivered a smash- ing blow at the Russian fleet outside Port Arthur.

"We regard the proposed Chanpei Tondel as unnecessary and undesirable, and as pre- senting dangers which it is unjustifiable to expect this country to incur. No arguments have been advanced to induce us to abandon n decision arrived at où well-considered. ground in 1882, and all the arguments against- the tunnel have been ignored,

"We believe the advocates of the schema, assert that the work could never be caplored Justify their confidence. "They say that modera by surprise, but they hayo said nothing to

Cience would enable us to destroy the tunnel at any point of its length, but they do not ex-" plain the means, and upon their urhupported „Kisigment_assure us that no snemy would be. mad enough to run bis troops into a burrow, to be caught like rats in a trap. M Huldang remarked sagaciously at Bedford that, though diplomacy is being conducted on a friendly footing, we cannot tell what may happen, and we never can afford to neglect the taking of precautions."

THE "BROAD ARROW.

The "Broad" Arrow "is not more favourable. tunnel in an emergency, it states that they Dealing with the plans, for degroying the

appear" for more simple on papát than they. would prove in actual execution. It is abs vious that if the mouths of tunads are to be blown in, the explosives for this purpora cinoot be kept permaneatly in phaition ready to be operated by the pressing the prover Vial button. Nervous passengers, 'would strongly object to the possibility of the button being preased at the wrong time, while they |aza-pasting through, the tunnel, and · the deterioration of explosives and liability to fault of all electrical circuits wquid render the arrangements, far from reliable to say the

least of it. :

In 1882 Colonel Majendie, the chief in- spector of explosives, gave ovļdence to the effect that no means of destroying the tunnel within a few minutes of the alarm being given "uld be regarded as reliable--and experts 1, we believe, be found at the present day to agree with this opinion. If the proposal to destroy the tugnel is abandoned as im- practicable, it only remains to defend the outlets by force of arms. It may appear quite easy in theory to prevent the egress of troops from two holes, each 18ft in diameter, but The days of surprises are not yet past and many more desperate adventures than the seizure of the mouths of the Channel Tunnel have been successfully carried through" by daring men led by competent commanders,”

It advocates a Royal Commission, on which the Army and Navy should be strongly re presented, to settle the question..

THE "SPECTATOR." The "Spectator" adopis a very similar view in a forcibly written article:

"We admit that on paper nothing is easier. than to make arrangements by which the tunnel could be flooded or closed or the air pumping arrangements put out of gear by pressing a button, which bulton would be always in English bands." At the same time, and however complete are the precautions taken the fact remains that our national safety would, after the tunnel was made, depend more 'upon precautions, and inss upon what we may

call the facts of nature thin at present,, D

"It is notorious that human precantions. sometimes fail in the most extraordinary way... Mr. Anthony Hope could, we are sure, devise a dozen ways in which the guards" at "the Fnglish end of the tuonel might be suddenly "surprised, and enough troops rushed through in half an hour to hold the position' for the three or four hours that would be necessary Estimates given for all classes of work on for bringing up reinforcements. There are no precautions, in fact, which cannot be overcome application to

by a happy combination of boldness, or if you. will, mad impudence, on the one side, and sleepiness and carelessness on the other,”

It thinks that danger from Germany would have to be feared as she might at the outset of a war with France and England seize Calais, and pass troops through the tunnÁLAT pronounces for ferry service, the traina Balog run on to the ferry, which is cheap, practicable, and free from all military danger,
