The command is given in a tone of
authority that forces the people to

would happen but for the trainman's
solicitude for his passengers. The little

you surly all day. And there is always
tragedy in that frame of mind, since
a man has to be placid these days or

FEED FOE BY TUNNEL
German smugglers on Swiss
Border Use Pipe Line.
: the Frontier Is Revealed by
Chance.

-- 81
Basle.-Hunger is the mother of in
ventfons. 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 pipe line across the frontier.
It ended in 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.'
Ter. Customs officials became suspf-
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
elogged 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.

Up 10 1856 there was marked OPP
position between the majority OF

parties had failed 10 understand the
grounds on which the claims Of
home rule were based. Since 1856
sentiment and sympathy for ireland

tween England and Ireland, but one

1t is nevertheless true that what
appears unwillingness in Ireland 10

has caused some irritation i'm Eng

compulsory military service on Ire
land has reawakened suspicion there.
To the Iris hnationalists it has seem

authority of one nation over another.
