the discovery Of a plot to release the
1000 prisoners by tunneling out Of the
barbed wire enclosure.
a tunnel 100 feet long had been
dug from a point within the stOckade
in the direction Of a group Of houses
on the outside which would have fur

posed plan had been successful The
fact that the refugees had been per-
mitted to build adobe houses for shell

abled the plotters to conceal the dirt
from the tunnel, using the earth in
making the adobe bricks. One Of the
guards noticed that the dirt for the
adobe bricks was coming in plentiful
quantities with apparently no digging
going on inside the stOckade He re-
ported his suspicious TO an officer and
some quiet detective work led to the
