ENGLEWOOD, N. J., an attractive residen- 

 tial city in Bergen County, in the northeast- 

 ern part of the state. It is sixteen miles west 

 of New York City, fifteen miles north of Jersey 

 City and twenty-three miles northeast of New- 

 ark, and is served by a branch line of the Erie 

 Railroad. The population in 1910 was 9,924 

 and in 1916 it was 12,231. The area of the 

 city exceeds five square miles. 



Englewood is situated on westward-sloping 

 land, one mile from the Palisades of the Hud- 

 son River. The city has fine parks and drives 

 and beautiful residences, two summer homes 

 for working girls, a $200,000 high school, a hos- 

 pital and a Library. There are no important 

 industrial enterprises. Many New York busi- 

 ness men make it their home. 



In 1871 the township of Englewood was set 

 off from the township of Hackensack, and 

 Englewood was incorporated as a city in 1895. 

 This act of incorporation was declared uncon- 

 stitutional, and the city was reincorporated in 

 1899. c.w.u. 



ENGLISH CHANNEL, called by the French 

 La Manchc, meaning the sleeve, is an arm of 

 the sea separating France and England. Its 

 length is about 350 miles and its extreme 

 breadth 100 miles, narrowing down to only 



twenty miles at Dover. On the English side 

 it extends from the Scilly Isles to Dover; on 

 the French, from Ushant to Calais. It is of 

 comparatively recent formation, as geological 

 time is reckoned, for it is well established that 

 England and France were formerly connected 

 by land. The channel is the greatest commer- 

 cial highway in the world, with the ports of 

 Falmouth, Plymouth, Southampton, Ports- 

 mouth, Brighton and Dover on the English 

 coast, and Cherbourg, Havre, Dieppe, Boulogne 

 and Calais in France. It is also the highway 

 for the vast commerce eastward to the Scan- 

 dinavian countries and to Germany. It is 

 noted for the roughness of its waters, due to 

 the conflicting currents between the North Sea 

 and the Atlantic Ocean and its frequent wind 

 storms. The Channel Islands, a few miles off 

 the French coast, and the Isle of Wight, are 

 its principal islands. 



There have been many schemes devised for 

 building a tunnel underneath the Channel to 

 connect France and England. The proposed 

 route was from a point near Dover to Calais, 

 and nearly one-third of the work was accom- 

 plished. Chiefly for military reasons it was 

 vigorously opposed, and in 1883 the British 

 Parliament decided definitely that it was not 

 advisable to open submarine connections with 

 France. Had the tunnel been completed it 

 would undoubtedly have saved lives and 

 money to Great Britain when it became neces-
