r glacial shore raised for port on hudson bay railway tracks laid above old level at churchill gravel spread in fills winnipeg thouaid of years ago when great glaciers moved slowly jcwn from the north shaving off mountain ranges and in places thou sands of feet of rocks and earth the weight also it is said depressed the crust of the earth when this huge ice crut left the region of hudson bay the western slore was much farther west than i is today as time passed the land gradually rose and the wters of hudson bnywsre push ed eastward at churchill various ancient shore lines iyo still plainly marked by sand and gravel ridges by boulders worn smooth by the ceaseless lapping of the waves centuries ago and by pebbles that means thai much work has to be done on land as well as in the water in the making of a port tracks above old level at the railway terminus the level must be raised in places several foot tracks already laid have been raised as high as three feet above original levels and probably will be raised still further buildings stand at present with basements fully exposed but when the leveling process is completed they will not have the perchedup ap pearance they have now because the gravel fill will bring them to a nor mal level above grade the construction company las been fortunate as practically inexhaustible supplies of gravel were found at var ious places along the line otherwise tho tremendous amount of fillingin would have constituted a real problem one gravel pit ies within a mile or two of the terminus and until the wea ther got too cold gravel was being hauled continuously to the terminal yard where a modern gravel spreader swept it into position as soon as dump ed from the cars gravel pits opened so it was along the line gravel pits were opened up at a number of strategic points none of them far from the main line and the present road instead of being an earth or clay dump with a gravel spread is pure jjlast from the ground up a line that wllt5tefid syith a minimum am ount of work andnspditure or maintenance for many years- and while it is now about two decades since the first steps were taken toward the hudson bay line it ha3 been con structed better than many a line of the earlier construction days it really was in 1909 that the hud son bay line first assumed definite shapo and it was then that a branch lino from hudson bay junction to the pas was completed linking up the northern frontier post with the rest of canada work commenced the fol lowing year on the hudson bay line with churchill as the ultimate objec tive tho obective was however changed to fort nelson and steel was laid before the end of 1916 to kettle rapids 332 miles from tho pas then came delay no work was done for years the roadbed deteriorated and there was talk of pulling up the rails for use elsewhere winnipeg fought this and charles gray exmayor of winnipeg with others formed the on to the bay association in december 1927 churchill was again recommended as the better port and early in 1928 everything wa3 in readiness for steel to be laid again tho work was pushed with such vigor that on march 29 of this year steel reached mile 511 which marked the commencement of the terminal yards at churchill and the railway was an accomplished fact clemenceau foe of pessimists feared end of france was near says war council interpreter our duty was to die well and first to fight as if we were sure of conquering tiger quoted by confidant premier at first preferred petain to foch as generalissimo says second writer clemenceau every day arguiug and struggling with as much courtesy as firmness oven days when scarcely out of tho hall his impatience flash ed up in picturesque ebullitions his foreign interlocutors after some shocks ot astonishment had learned the only way bernard shaw says only way to avoid war is to stop fighting london george bernard shaws formula for preventing war is stop fighting that is tho only way such was the answer shaw gave when asked as to the bct way to pre vent war the irish author replied to questions on the forthcoming disarm ament conference the kellogg pact tho nobel prize angloamerican rela tions and how lady astor could influ ence them in the course of an inter view with the united press corres pondent shaw also offered his opinion of the hoover doctrine what do you think of presidont hoovers armistice day suggestion that food ships should be treated a3 hospi tal ships during wars he was asked president hoover seems to forget how hospital ships were treated during the late war they will be treated similarly during the next one he re plied can you see any prospects of any useful agreement being reached at the forthcoming fivepower naval disarm ament conference was another ques tion put to the satirist who said if they scrap their battleships in the effectiveness of which they no longer believe it will save money and money is always useful men arc nota canvas upon which to creato a picture women aro edward molyneux of the niauy appreciations ot georges clemenceau appearing in the paris press just after his death none was more interesting than the article written for la journal by captain paul j mantoux tho brilliant chief interpreter at the allied supreme war couucil and at tho paris peace conference captain mantoux aston ished all who came in contact with him in his official capacity by his wonderful command of languages and his uncanny ability to reproduce in various tongues without the least hesitation long aud complicated statements made by statesmen and generals before tho war ho lectured on french history at tho university ot london ho was intimately associated with clemenceau on tho war council and during tho peace negotiations re ceived his personal confidences and was in a highly favorable position to judge his character as a man and as a war leader his article contained sayings o clemenceau hitherto un published and emphasized tho para dox that the man who ruthlessly stamped out defeatism and pessi mism in france in 1917 wa3 himself temperamentally aud fundamentally a pessimist demanded miracle and got it captain mantoux wrote i saw hi3 will triumph over ob stacles which appeared to bo insur mountable at tho moment wheu the arrival o tho american troop3 in masses had become a vital necessity for tho allies tonuage was lacking to transport them fifty thousand came iu january 10000 in february foch demanded 110000 a mouth aud in the meantime the german armies freed from pressure on the side ot russia broke the british lines at saintquentin in an interaliied council held dur ing these sombre days they counted up the ship3 available weighed the immense needs to be satisfied aud ar rived at figures which caused despair m clemeuceau then said wo need sooooo americans a month you tell me that we have ton nage enough for only 100000 in ans wer thair we must not calculate the number ot men to be transported by the tonnage but that we must calcu late the tonnage by tho number of meu to be carried and we shall find it he demanded a miracle and the to ttie efforts of our english allies to economies and sacrifices 2000000 americans were landed in france within a few months ho was always inaccessible to fear and his mora courage was equal to his physical courage danger only strengthened his resolution and his energy had no need of tho stimulant of hope for this man who treated pessimism in time of war as a crime was himself a pessimist though in a special sense ot tho word ha was a pessimist in the philosophic souso apart from a few faithful friends he despised men or rather ha des pised human nature ho was far from believing in an immiuout justice which cannot tail to triumph but ha was ready to fight for it as if he wora certaiu of success in tho carriage which was taking us to versailles where thoy were to discuss the terms ot tho armistice at the moment that victory was bringing his career to a prodigious climax ho said to me when the war broko out and i had seen it coming for several years i said to myself that it meant per haps the end of our country aftor so many centuries of a groat history our duty was to dio well and first to fight as if wo were sure of conquer ing criticized for unsatisfactory peace they havo reproached him for making nn unsatisfactory peace af ter having made a victorious war ho did not mako peace singlehanded tho error of the french people is in forgetting how many opinions and in terests had to bo conciliated beforo reaching a conclusion i saw m to respect and like him lloyd george hearing of tho result ot the preliminary vote which denied to m clemenceau the presidency ot the re public exclaimed they will no longer reproach the english for burniug jeanne darc certain people blame him for not having very much confidence iu tho future which ho could envisage only in the image ot tho past that was the natural consequence not only of his ago but of his fundamental pes simism before the conference opened he used to talk ot the difficulties of mak ing a good peace to make war that is easy enough all that is needed is men money and material tho country will furnish rather than perish you need only to give order3 and not to lose your head but to mako peace and especially to practice it it very diffi cult and very complicated the french know well enough how to die for their country will they know how to live for it and ho added what strikes me when i look in our strdets at the trophies of louis xiv and napoleon is that the former represents the peace of utrecht and the latter two invasions waterloo and vienna when will our country happier than hauuibal know how to profit from victory this frenchman in whom shone so conspicuously two master quali ties of our people loved france pas sionately he loved it as did the great patriots of the revolution whom iie had worshiped irf his youth i see him now showing a caller at the war ministry a chassepot with its antique bayonet this gun he said belonged to one of tho men who hated mo most and whom i hated most in return we even fought a duel it is the gun which deroulede carried in 1870 his sister brought it tj mo as a souvenir of him on armistice day i have not changedky opinion about his politics be he was a tftsa of heart and one who loved ills country called misanthrope and ironist m clemenceau was that and more this misanthrope and this ironist in carnated in the gravest hours the heroic soul of france another writer m jean martet of feredalso in la journal some new information about the relations between clemenceau and foch re lations which will perhaps always remain a subject of controversy among historians replying to lloyd georges charge that clemeuceau had little to do with the movement to mako focii generalissimo of tho al lied forces ho said tho truth is that m clemenceau always had a higher esteem for po tatos personality than for fochs up to march 26 1918 it is manifest that he saw iu potain the great chief of the french armies and tho man through whom sooner or later vic tory would come ho was slowly preparing for tho realization ot tho singlo command and i bolieva that if the events ot march 26 had not boon produced if there had been no doullons which was perhaps the most decisive day of tho war petain would havo boon charged with co ordination of tho allied armies on tho western front took up foch after doullens but doulien3 camo along and on that day petain an intelligence gravo and sombre took account

parliament demanded an in vestigation and action what did m clemenceau do it was the session of the chamber of deputies on june 4 wis he mounted the tribune and said nothing has happened which per

ier lynd will gibraltar remain british proposed construction of straits tunnel raises ques tion of exchange with spain this is an age of cool discussion of things which twenty years ago would have seemed outrageous raerly n the notion fox instance what about fnglands giving up gibraltar the popular notion has been for long enough that gibraltar the suez canal and aden were three strategic points in the empire which would be the very last to go in a crisis and here we have no less an authority than the madrid correspondent of tho london times calmly envisaging the possibility ot exchanging the rock for other span ish territory the question has been brought up over the imminent con struction of a tunnel from spain to africa the beginning of a tunnel writes the correspondent has been bored on the spanish coast near tarifa about fifteen miles west of the keck of gib raltar it is the exploration shaft of tho scheme for tunnelling under the straits of gibraltar next month a similar shaft will be sunk in morocco and all sorts of experiments will be made in the hope of discovering what the soil beneath the narrow inter continental stretch of sea is like and whether it is suitable for a tunnel many political military naval and legal problems would assume a new aspect with the existence of a straits tunnel for instance should the tun nel be internationalized in accordance with tho hopeful tendency of modern international jurisprudence toward making all great trade passages acces sible to all nations here would be a promising piece of property for the league of nations if spain builds the tunnel she will want to keep it in her own hands and there is nothing in the opinion of the spaniard to prevent her getting from the caliph of her moroccan protectorate the nec essary concessions for this purpose but the tunnel would in fact be under the guns of gibraltar and its african mouth so near to tangier that the fate of that much disputed city would be directly involved france is getting ready to build a transsaharan railway and to develop rapid communications between oran algiers and the port of the gulf of lyons with a view to military trans port in case of a future war if she could arrange with spain to use a straits tunnel for her troops it would be extremely valuable to her for spain there is one more issue gibraltar they hold is out of date as a fortress and it could easily be de stroyed by the norma army of a na tion of 22000000 inhaibtants should the tunnel come to be built gibraltar might remain a commercial establish ment under
