Work of. About $50 Men.

The tunnel was the work of about
$50 men and apparently was begun as
soon as the prisoners received warn
ing of intention to send them home.
They had planned to break free from
the camp on the night before the sail
ing of the steamer for England.
Earth removed from the tunnel had
been so distributed around the camp
that it was not noticed until the tun-
mel was almost completed. When the
tunnel was discovered the Germans
made a hostile demonstration, but the
guards suppressed it. The prisoners
watched with chagrin the filling in
of the tunnel.

CAPE-TO-CAIR0 AIR MAIL
LINE NEARS COMPLETION
Expected to Be Put in Operation
Before End of the Year-Many
Big Obstacles Surmounted.

LONDON. June 25 Correspondence
| enormous difficulties being met with
| in establishing the long air route, it
| is expected that the Cairo
aerial mail service will be in opera
| ton before the year is out. The first
| flight, it is said, probably will be
made in October or November
Partial reports /of the African sur
vey parties now in the field detail
| some of the obstacles that have had
to be surmounted. Between Malakal
and Gondokoro, about 400 miles. the
| Nile SO mandates the country that
no suitable landing place for the air
plane could be found. 1t is, there
! fore, proposed to use a flying boat
| for that stage of the journey.
A month after the signing of the
armistice with Turkey the first sur
vey party was ready to start.
Two years previously the route
from Sollum to Cairo had been used
| by Maj. MacLaren on his flight from
England to Egypt and airdromes
had been built at Sollum. Mersa
Matruh and at Amria. near Afexan-
dria, while intermediate landing
grounds had been cleared for emer-
gency use. An airdrome had been
constructed also at Khartum, in 1915.
Three Divisions in Survey.
For the purpose of the survey
Africa was divided into three sec:
lions. One party was assigned to
Egypt, the Sudan and as far south
as Victoria Nyanza. The second COW
cred the central stretch, from Vic
toria Nyanza through a part of what
was German East Africa to kituta,
at the southern end of Lake Tan
ganyika third party inspected the
line from kituta to Cape Town.
A route via Egypt and the Arabian
coast to India is being developed
from Atbara to Trinkitat, on the Red
sea, and thence via the Farsan and
Kamaran Islands to Perrin and Alden.
1t is said that this probably will be
more used for military than civil
purposes.

SOCIALISM GROWS
STRONGER IN JAPAN
Workers Are Aroused Over
Present Economic and In
dustrial Conditions.
ORGANIZATION EFFECTED

TOXIC, June Is Correspondence of
the Associated Press).-Demands for
more comfort for those who work for
wages and that fewer privileges be
granted to the rich are the funda-
mentals of popular movement which
is gathering form in japan, and
which is causing considerable I'M
easiness, moi only to the government,
but to the representative japanese in
all spheres of activity. Socialism is
attracting the interest of not only the
working people, but of men holding
important places in the domain OF
education. This general movement
is partly the reflex of the labor unrest
in foreign countries and partly the
result of a steadily growing revolt
at home against the amassing OF
wealth by the few, as against the
poverty and hardship of the masses
of the people.
Appeals to Foreign Lands.
Japanese socialists recently sent out
nanifestos to socialists in foreign
lands asking for formal. recogni-
ton of the Japanese body whlch mas
been organized under the name,
Japanese Socialist Party
The socialist party of Italy sent
response conveying their Willingness
to recognize the Japanese socialists
as their friends and co-workers.
Sen Katayama, the pioneer socialist
of Japan. is now abroad as the rep
resentative of his party at home
Better. Pay and More Freedom.
The attempt to promote socialism.
or more radical doctrine, is being
pushed now because of the awaken
ing of the workers to what they re-
gard as the evils of present economic
and industrial conditions. The aver
age japanese workman is beginning
10 raise his voice for better pay ana
more freedom generally.
The central organization for work
ingmen in Toxic has addressed an
open letter to the home minister. the
president of the chamber of COM
merce and others. declaring that in
case of war it is the working people
of Japan who are called upon to de-
fend it's shores and asking whether
it is the national policy of Japan TO
allow capitalists to fatten while the
workers are starving.
Rural Populace Aroused.
DR.. Jikei Yokoi of the Imperial Uni
versity, in a public statement, says
that democratic ideas long prevalent
in the great cities nave recently
spread among the rural population.
They have particularly affected. he
said, school teachers, members of
the young mems associations and
army reservists.
Many Japanese scholars are report
ed to be enthusiastically studying
socialism. Laborers are openly inter-
ested and are often heard discussing
the subject in street cars.

LEGISLATIVE LETTER
(By Means Raw

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 8.--Both
working to the end that legislation
will be in proper shape for final ad-
journment not later than May IL. The
Senate is holding afternoon sessions
and will probably remain in session
Saturday mornings. By virtue OF
having more members and much time
being taken up in roll calls night ses-
sions of the House will be held be-
cause of the necessity.
During the past few days many
measures tending to increase the state
revenue have been presented. Repre-
sentatives Edwards Of Dunklin and
Dyott of Howell have presented three
bills fixing a tax of 10 per cent on the
retail price of cigarettes, cigars, to-
bacco, playing cards, cosmetics, rouge,
lip paint, hair dyes, etc. The collec-
ton of the tax is placed under the food
and drug commissioner.
Senator Duncan has bill providing
for tax on billboards of mills per
square foot. The collection of this tax
is placed in the hands of the secre-
tary Of state.
The right for women to vote for
president and vice-president has pass
ed both branches and been signed by
Governor Gardner, who recommended
the passage of the measure.
Senator Kinney'S bill eXempting ed
ucational, charitable and religious in
stitutions from the operation of the
inheritance tax law has been passed
by the Senate.
Representative Killum's bill provid-
ing for a 81, 600, 900 revolving fund for
the state to buy timber and swamp
lands to sell sailors, soldiers and ma
rines has passed the Senate and been
engrossed in the House. 1t is hoped in
this manner to provide farms and en-
ployment for those who participated
in the world war.
Auditor Hackmann is endeavoring
to have all the machinery of the State
Tax Commission placed in his office.
When it comes to asking for things, it
is admitted by the Republicans, that
Hackmann has the whole country beat.
A bill to abolish the Tax Commission
and empower the Board of Equaliza-
ton to have the work done under its
supervision has passed the Senate and
Hackmann hopes to have it amended
in the House giving him the machin-
cry.
The death penalty has been restored
in the Senate by vote of % to 8.
The measure will come up in the
House later.
Auditor Hackmann's effort to tax
farm lands of the state at the actual
cash value is again before the Board
Of Equalization. This is opposed by

POVERTY AND PRIVILEGE

This is part of an article written
by Henry Ford in the current issue of
Dearborn Independent, a weekly Pc
riodical recently established by Mr..
Ford.)
Surveying the disorder in Europe,
it's cause would appear to be the de-
termination of the privileged classes
that the world shall go on in the old
way, and utter impossibility of the
world going on in the old way. For
we must remember that when kings
were dethroncd Private Privilege was
not dethroned. Kingship was always
built upon the foundation of class
privilege, and it was possible for the
head to abdicate without breaking up
the system. Kings were useful to
private privilege because they, helped
keep the peoples respect for high
graft. But Privilege can get along
without Kings if it can only control
the people by other means. Here in
the United States we have never had
King, yet we have privileged aris-
tocracy, which can be as sharply de-
fined as the nobility of England or the
Junkers of Germany.
So, unless these privileged classes
of yesterday can start again on yes
terday's plan, they will not start at
all, and that is at the bottom of the
disorder in Europe. They are ryine
to hold back the tide Of progress
which is impossible.
Europe has been the scene of end
less war simply because it has dis.
trusted and feared Change.
Europe is periodically the scene o.
revolution simply because 1t holds
back an orderly and progressive evo'
luton.
The danger Of Europe today is moi
that Progress is knocking at her door
but that she will fear to open the door
and will come to her senses only wher
the door is broken down. Progress
/ will pass, even though it must batter
down the barricades Of selfishness ant
prejudice. But it would rather pass
peacefully through the doorways Of
those who trust and welcome it.
Two thousand years Of civilization
have not taught certain parts Of Eu.
rope the primary lesson that no ma
ton or system is stronger than tht
strength and privilege Of its humbles1
member.
Things were coming to an end In
| Europe, even IL the war had not inter.
vcned. When men deliberately invent
q philosophy, print it in books and
teach it in schools, which pretends t.
prove that certain classes are destined
