mutual. The officer knows his men from close personal contact, not at the arm's length. He knows the w-eak man and can strengthen him; he knows the strong and can keep him strong This is practicing the very-basic idea of true democracy. This is why private and the corporal brside their colonel and each every inch the soldier; this is why the soldier of France is the almy of its soil. The old argument that personal equality and daily association are destructive of discipline and therefore lead to inefficiency belongs to a past fallacy, for the world has not yet said the French is not an effi Engineers Have Found Difficult Problems Burrowing Under Downtown Brooklyn.

Such a practice ought t.i every rule of decency and respect fu? the uniform to be driven from t-- Army. Its only result is lessening the nit-rale of our troops, for it strikes at th very center of manly social equality, the basis of any army raised from tlvi people of a democracy. The work of a body servant should never bo pc-mitted to be performed by a soldic wearing the uniform of our Army the Republic.

If I had the powe that practice would be stopped befoi sundown. The idea of a young, viriU American soldier doing this bod service for any man, whoever it be, repulsive to every sense of America manhood. An officer should be an associate, a teacher, a leader of his men. If li feels himself too good to be a panion, too indifferent or stupid teach, and has not the born native quality of leadership, he Is unfit to hi an officer of any rank, and the er he is out of tho Army the better fi the service. If the officer wants a body he should get him from some otlni source, and he should not be a wearing the uniform of the Army i the Republic From Congressional Record.

Congress has definitely committed the Government to Major General William M. Black's plan of widening the deep water channel of the East River to a width of from 500 feet to 1.000 feet, for the entire length of the river, and of providing a minimum depth of 35 feet at low tide for the entire distance. The cost of the work was originally estimated at The details of the provisions of the existing project, as given by the Secretary of War in his last report to Congress, are as follows: "For a channel from deep water in the upper bay to the Brooklyn Navy Strikers Refused to Return to Work Until Employers Conceded Demands. iiET WORK AT BOROUGH HALL By Representative John F. Miller.

The private soldier is the idol of France. The Frenchman cares nothing for class or rank. Both are but Incidental to armies. It is the private who must do the fighting; it is he who bears the suffering; it is he who wins tho battles; it Is he who does the dying. When the soldier knocks at the door of the peasant in the night time and is asked, "Who is there?" he simply answers, "A soldier of France." The door is opened, the helmet taken, the fires kindled, and the chair placed for him; the housewife opens the doors of the larder, and he knows he Is welcome to the best.

The private is not made to feci that he is the social or intellectual inferior of the officer. They practice the democracy of their institutions. How different in this particular is the boasted democracy of America! Over there the major, and the corporal, the captain, the lieutenant, and the private sit at the same table and sip their wine together; I saw them. The plan of campaign is discussed; the sergeant, the corporal and the private know the objective of a certain movement timed for tomorrow Just as well as the colonel. The understanding is The first news of an important tonnage, the commerce of the river is so enormous, both in tonnage and value, that every improvement which facilitates and lessens the dangers to navigation in this waterway is unquestionably justified.

Perhaps the most obvious effect of the improvement is the increase in the number of vessels of large tonnage using the river, many of which can now use the river at high stages of the tide only, and others, owing to lack of sufficient channel depth, complete their cargoes in the upper New York Bay by lighter; also, though the improvements made have rendered navigation through Hell Gate safer for vessels up to about 20 to 22 feet draft, the shorter and safer inside route through Long Island Sound is not available for vessels of large tonnage because of insufficient depth over scattering rocks and reefs which obstruct the channel between the Battery and Hunts Point. "It is proposed to expend the funds available June 30, 1917, together with the arrrount appropriated by the river and harbor act approved August 8, 1917, as follows: Completing the removal of Coenties Reef to a depth of 35 feet, excavating a channel 40 feet deep and to such width as the funds will permit from the The gigantic task of burrowing under the streets of Brooklyn to provide adequate rapid transit facilities for the people of the borough is Bearing completion. In another year at cient army not since the Battle of the Marne; not since the world knows the stories of Verdun. In my judgment a primary defect in our military establishment today is the presence of that social chasm between the commissioned officer on the one hand and the non-commissioned officer and private on the other. It must be filled; it must be bridged.

It Is the only remnant of an otherwise destroyed social caste; it is un-American to the core. One American Is as good as another, especially when he is flfhting for the liberty and freedom of the world. In Europe at an Amer most trains will be running in the IJastern Parkway, Flatbush avenue and Xostrand avenue subways. The work of digging these tunnels, which Included the construction of tubes under the East River, at some points one hundred feet below the surface of the waters, has been of the most difficult character imaginable. According to Askel II.

Jorgensen, one of the most Interesting sections from the engineering standpoint is Section 3, Koute 33. under the dual system contracts, which involves the construction of two separate subway lines in Fulton, Montague and Willoughby streets. The subway under Fulton street, between Clark and Willoughby streets, forms the connecting link between the Old Slip Clark street river tun I Upper Bay to the Brooklyn Navy The Empty Stockings nels and the first subway, operated lard, jszo.uuu.uw; excavating to a depth of, 35 feet in Hell Gate, $1,000,000.00. "It is proposed to expend the funds estimated for prosecuting the work during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, as follows: Widening the channel of 40 feet depth from the Upper Bay to the Brooklyn Navy Yard by dredging and rock removal, dredging and rock removal to secure a depth of 36 feet at mean low water in Hell Gate, removing shoals east of Hell Gate to Throgs Neck, total, $2,500,000. "Duo to war conditions, the estimate of funds for the fiscal year 1919 is limited to trw amount stated." The Secretary of War further says: "As a result of a careful canvass it appears that the tonnage and value of tho commerce of the East River is as follows: How many will be dangling before cold fireplaces tomorrow night? In how many homes will Christmas Day be no different than any other? You can make it different! The sacrifice, of a box of cigars' or candy will bring a whole week of happiness when now there is only drudgery and distress.

From west of Clinton street on through Montague, Fulton and Willoughby strike in England, involving workers in munition works and airplane factories, reached this country with the arrival of the latest English newspapers a few days ago. The censor has always frowned upon strike news, and England's difficulties in this connection have not generally become known in this country until after they were settled. The latest strike was not settled until the highest members of the British Government intervened.

The settlement was substantially a victory for the workingmen. It was reached on December 3. The London Times pointed out the seriousness of the strike as follows: "Indignation, dismay, resentment are the natural emotions with which the country learns of the persistence of the strike of airplane and munition workers in Coventry. It has lasted since Monday; 50,000 hands are involved; all the engineering works in this important industrial center are idle. Meanwhile, the output of munitions is at a standstill.

Boyd Cable described in an article, which we printed yesterday, what the result of this is likely to be at the front next spring. The army may go short, of airplanes, the Germans may regain the mastery of the air. British designs will then be detected; those of the German commanders hidden. The mere thought of such a thing is appalling, and every hour that this strike continues helps to turn it from a contingency to a certainty. "All the same, indiscriminate abuse of the strikers on this account does no good, and may only too easily harm.

That it. does no good is shown by the fact that after five days of such reproaches, which have been poured upon them by the press, by the Ministry of Munitions and by countless self-constituted advisers, they are still rigid in ation. It does no good, because, it assumes that they are the people really, responsible, thus ignoring their? point of view, which is that they have been forced to strike by their employer's refusal to concede their demands. "Their reply to the accusation that they are crippling the British armies is that they are sorry that airplanes and munitions are being held, up; but that it is not their the fault of the employers. The employers, of course, will and lay tfilpfW8ia faqie the'men are to" blame, for they are arid say they will not go back till Passengers Calendar year.

Tho amount appropriated for the work under the river and harbor act of August 8, 1917, was $1,250,000, which with the balance available from old appropriations on July 1, 1917, $582,690, makes a total of $1,832,690 available for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918. Work on Coenties Reef.

Work under the contract for the removal of Coenties Reef in progress June 30, 1916, was continued throughout the year. To June 30, 1917, there has been completed 58 per cent, of the drilling and blasting and 22 per cent, of the dredging required under the contract. There was expended by the United States on this work during the year, in payment of its proportion of the cost thereof, $23,582.78. It is expected that the blasting and dredging for the creation of a 40-foot depth of water over this reef will be completed by the end of this fiscal year. The City of New York pays for the deepening of the channel at this point from 35 feet to 40 feet.

About 70,251 square feet of its area has been drilled and blasted and 6,235 yards of blasted rock has been dredged and disposed of, 2,333 cubic yards of which represents the United States share of the work and 3,902 cubic yards, the City of New York's share. The following further details of the East River project are given in the Secretary of War's report: "There was expended in preliminary work, including the cost of surveys in connection with the proposed channel from deep water in the upper bay to Brooklyn Navy Yard, $23,203.07. Other expenditures during) the year, amounting to $4,249.76, were in payment of the cost of locating and examining reported obstructions, of the care of property, and of miscellaneous expenses and contingencies. Under the previous project adopted by the river and harbor act of July 25, 1 868. as modified and enlarged, about 64 per cent, of the work contemplated therein had been completed to June 30, CALEDONIAN HOSPITAL OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK.

Connecting Old and New Subways. "The work of making connections between the old subway work and the new." said Mr. Jorgensen, "has been greatly simplified and the city has been saved many thousands of dollars, due to the fact that in the plans for the earlier work for lines now in operation, provision was made for connection with lines to be constructed in the future." Thus, under Fulton street, a depressed track was built to avoid a grade crossing, which extends from Smith street to a point at the east end of the Borough Hall station.

Connection with the upper track is made at the grade of the present operating level and was provided for by instal-ing the roof girders with top and bottom flange angles and cover plates projecting beyond a temporary wall bo that the old structure could be widened by splicing a new section to Ihe existing girders. Then, as Mr. Jorgensen explained it, the roof load was carried on new side-wall columns, the old wall and columns being removed. Again, at Flatbush avenue extension, on the Fourth avenue subway, two depressed spur tracks were provided. The depression begins Just north of the DeKalb avenue station and the tracks finally curve into Willoughby street to a point outside the line of the upper four-track structure.

Types of Construction. "The increase in the commerce of 1915 over that of 1914 is probably accounted for by the great increase in the water traffic that has taken place in New York Harbor during the past year. The tonnage of 1916 was carried in vessels ranging in loaded draft from about 0 feet at all stages of the tide up to 2 8 feet at high water1; greater draft than the latter is deemed safe by 'navigators. Therefore, vessels desiring to load to a greater draft than 28 feet frequently complete their cargoes by lighter In the upper bay. Among other important reasons urged for the widening and deepening of the channel from the upper bay to the Brooklyn, Navy Yard is that.

at present battleships can only enteK irWWS-d et high tide and even then accidents occasionally occur. Some Things Yon Ought to Know About THE BROOKLYN ASSOCIATION FOR Improving the Condition of the Poor 104 Livingston Street The Association is 74 years o'A. We give immediate relief to the poor and hungry who call on us. Then the conditions of the applicants are looked into by trained, sympathetic workers who take particular care not to subject the poor to notoriety as objects of charity, but rather to give them courage to take up their fight. We maintain an Exchange and Training School for blind men and boys, Housekeeping Center with various clubs, Cooking Classes, Supper Clubs, Fresh Air Camp, Department for the Hospital, Care for Crippled Children, a Dental and Nutrition Clinic and General Relief Department.

Last year we cared for 2,695 families, representing 4,076 people. We dispensed 2,249 grocery orders, including those especially made up for Italians, Poles and Syrians. 2,489 quarts of milk to sick people, anemic children and babies, 44 tons of coal, 145 pairs of shoes and rubbers, together with clothing, were given to 406 people. Medical care was furnished 900 people. We gave convalescent care to 63.

We gave assistance in the payment of rent to 199. We assisted 389 to secure work. Free ice books were distributed through the medium of the Babies' Welfare Association. With the general increase of 50c. in the cost of living, which we feel in o'ir purchasing of groceries for our Relief Department, any gift given to the Association at this season will be most acceptable to aid us in carrying on this work of helping others during the winter months.

For Wl -that, we are bound to say, that Ihfsfeggtfip wrong to refuse to -w work pending While they stay out' they must expect the public, which Judges those matters by a rough and ready-standard, to hold them to blame. Let them go back and then let a real attempt be made to get at the merits of the squabble- it is really nothing more between them and the employers.

The gap between them is not very wide, and the government, in spite of commitments elsewhere, should have very little difficulty in bridging it. But it is worse than useless to talk as if all the blame were on the men's side. Obviously it is not. What is wanted is a man with imagination and a judicial mind. The best thing the government can do is to send a man of that type down to Coventry and to give him full authority to effect a settlement." The water-borne commerce between New England cities and New York, which uses the Long Island Sound route, is immense.

The Sound has sometimes been called the Levant of America. It is used not onlv bv the palatial Sound steamboats of Provi- 1917.

"Prior to 1913 local interests expended unknown amounts in the partial removal of Coenties Reef and in the construction of a dike connecting Bread and Cheese Reef with Black-wells Island. While the benefits derived from the Improvement cannot be shown by its influence on freight rates or directly by the increase in types of construction are used. Downtown in Brooklyn the plans provide for three sections of shield-driven tunnels in pairs, a station under Montague street between Clinton and Court streets, to be built by tunneling between the tubes, and three sections of steel-bent structure, one of which is double decked and forms the Borough Hall station with upper and lower platforms and diverging approaches. Connections by means of passageways are to be made between this station, the Court street station and the present Borough Hall station. Entrance to the Court street station is by means of two shafts, one west of Clinton street designed for elevators and stairways with a mezzanine at the top, and the other west of Court street, to be supplied with Escalators, stairways and a double mezzanine.

Ventilation for' the Montague street tubes will be provided by a shaft at Court street, and at Fulton and Johnson streets a shaft is being constructed tp give air to the Fulton and Clark street subways. When all the subway work is completed there will exist in the neighborhood of Borough Hall five separate railways, each on a different level, connecting the downtown section of the borough with lower Manhattan.

The history of the Society In Brooklyn from the establishment of the first conference on Jo mm)' 18R5, until the present shows that the ideals of its founders have been closely followed. The enormous Immigration of recent yars has been largely from the Catholic countries of Els rope, and these immigrants as a clnsn are employed in tho poorest paid occupations, so that: their compensation, even when continuous, Is barely sufficient for the support of their families.

Any other method would have caused more or less damage to overlying property and also interfered with street traffic. Lowest Point at Adams and Wil-i lougliby Streets. The lowest point of the cast-iron tunnels is at Adams and Willoughby I streets, where they pass under the subway in Fulton street.

There a sump and pump chamber had to be provided for training both tubes. In the construction of this chamber compressed air had to be brought into play to counteract a twelve-foot head of water. A good deal of work is yet to be done before the new tunnels are completed. Much of the concrete sitli remains to be placed both in tho tunnels and on the other work. War vation was going on.

The other case was that of the Continental Fire Insurance Company's Building, on the southwest corner of Court and Montague streets. Here great care had to be taken because this structure is six stories in height and has cast-iron front. The same method of support was employed with entire success. Where the excavation extended down from the street surface the front wall and portions of the side walls of abutting buildings were carried on the timbering of the cut. In some cases the fronts of buildings were supported on cantilever beams.

It is said that because of the extraordinary precautions taken practically no damage has resulted to any of the buildings along the new subways. Under the contract 6,930 feet nf cast-iron lined tunnel was required, and all of this was built by the shield method. Because of the nature of the soil, chiefly sand and gravel, the shield method of construction was considered well adapted for subway digging in this part of Brooklyn.

The Public Service Commission, however, is doing everything In its power to speed up the work so that by the end of next year all the new rapid transit lines provided for In the dual system contract may be in operation. ough Hall station the Whitehall-Mon-1ague street line begins curving into Willoughby street, having passed diagonally under the Fulton street subway. Above these tubes arc the tracks of the Old Slip-Clark street line.

The fourth level consists of the surface lines and the fifth of the elevated railroad. Still another route to Manhattan is by the way of the Fourth avenue subway over the Manhattan Bridge if a change of cars is made at De Kalb avenue by transfer from the Whitehall-Montague street suDway. Difficult Problems for Engineers. One of the most difficult problems for the subway construction engineers Mas to prevent damage to buildings fronting on the streets under which the work was being carried on. Retaining walls had to be constructed all jtlong the line and the building fronts supported by needle beams, so called, spanning the pits.

At the end of each "needle" screw jacks were used to curry the load to spread footings and elso to take up any settlement of the building. A sandy soil underlies the surface throughout the lower section Of Brooklyn. Although the underpinning work, in some cases, had to be carried below mean high water in this section, ground water was not one of the obstacles the engineers had to contend with. Long before the actual work Of excavation was commenced borings were made with the view of voiding ground water, ft was found that the ground water level recedes below mean high water from tha waterfront as far inland as the intersection of Willoughby street and Flatbush avenue extension. In the opinion of the engineers, this remarkable fact is due to the large number of wells which have been sunk in the downtown section for the purpose of supplying water to various buildings.

Citizen Building; I'p. Only in two instances during the construction of the subways was it necessary to resort to the supporting of buildings. Under the original plan the one tube of the Whitehall-Montague street line was to have passed directly under the Brooklyn Citizen Building, at the intersection of Ful- THE OUT OF TOWN FRIEND, clergyman or layman, shut-in, invalid will find a cheering and inspiring message on The Eagle Sermon Pages every Monday. $1.00 a year by mail. p7nestVICT0R store CIN GREATER NEW YORK i i mil i hihi Select Your Victrola Here THE SOLDIER, SAILOR, member of the American Red Cross, in training camp or abroad, is eager for news from home.
