FEED FOE BY TUNNEL
German Smugglers on Swiss
BOrGer Use Pipe Line.
Subterranean Line From House Across
the Frontier Is Revealed BY
Chance.

Basle.--Hunger is the mother OF In
ventions. German hunger invented a
great smuggling device which did a
booming business until discovered by
customs officers. Some Germans, liv-
ing in Baden, near the Swiss frontier,
built q pipe line across the frontier
It ended in q house rented to Ger
man family. What this family con-
sumed in the line Of food, clothing,
shoes, soap and other necessaries was
really astounding. However, these
people bought things in the open mar
ket, which is still possible in Switzer-
land, paid cash, never grumbled, no
matter how high the price and no
questions were asked.
One day recently two men were seen
digging in the ground near the 'front.'
fer. Customs officials became suspi-
cious, and nosing around soon made
valuable discovery. The two men
were engaged in repairing the pipe
line, which had been used for snug
Cling. The machinery had become
clogged and an opening had to be made
to get at the seat Of the trouble.
The officials saw an opening had
been made into spacious tunnel built
of concrete. Inside the pipe were
long wires. These wires were wound
round spools at the end stations and
could be pulled either way. Goods,
such as meat, cheese, hams, shoes,
clothing, ETC., were tied to the wire
and pulled across the border through
the subterranean channel.
The Swiss government is now after
the slnugglers. The fourishing "busi-
ness" Is killed.

WAR GARDENS LOCATED

Paris, July 16.--Acres and acres of gardens located near the American
 base hospitals are now beginning to
 bring forth their harvest of vege- tables. All were cultivated by Ameri- can wounded, eonvalescenis, who at tended to the growing Of the prodacts.
 Not alone has the venture been one of great economy for the hospitals The work of cultivation has been done under the medical surgeons so that double purpose is accomplished The garden work provides relaxation for the men after their strenuous times on the battle front and their painful anxiety in the hospital wards. The diversion acts as recreative agency in bringing back the men to normal mental and physical state.
 The gardens are worked entirely by conyalescents. Not single dollar has been spent for hired labor. The army has undertaken a comprehensive plan of army provisioning along these lines.~~ The American Red Cross is also co-openating by the establishment of smaller plots in the centers where convalescents are sent
