HUNS TUNNEL To
ESCAPE PRISON
Attempt Flight When They
Learn They're to be Re-
turned to Germany.
By Associated Press

By Associated Press:
SYDNEY, Australia. July ~
Several hundred Germans and Aus
TRANS made an attempt to escape by
tunnelling from the Holdsworthy
concentration camp here recently in
order TO foil the purpose Of the Aus
tralian authorities to send them
back TO Germany and Austria.
The military authorities had prev
iously notified the interned Teutons
that they were soon TO be returned
TO the;r native countries. Shortly
before they were TO be taken out OF
the internment camp. the authorities
discovered tunnel $50 feet long
which led from one Of the barracks
underneath the fence enclosing the
camp and thence TO the surface OUT
side. The tunnel was the work OF
about 80 men and apparently was
begun as soon as the prisoners re-
ceived warning of intention TO send
them home. They had planned TO
break free from the camp on the
night before the sailing of the steam
er for England.
Earth removed from the tunnel
had been so distributed around the
camp that it was not noticed until
the tunnel was almost completed.
When the tunnel was discovered the
Germans made a hostile demonstra-
ton but the guards suppressed il.
The prfgouprs watched with cha crY-f N
the filling in of the tunnel.

NEW YORK, July 12.-More peO-
pie in Soviet Russia are learning 10
read than are learning 10 write. The
bolsheviks want people 70 know how
TO read in order 10 facilitate the
spread OF the 'communistic gospel"
a widespread definite system Of ed
ucation is being put into effect, not
only for youngsters, but also for the
elders.
The bolsheviks have esta blished
schools that are a wide departure
from anything known in Russia
heretofore Many features are not
radically different from elementary
American schools, which the Rus
SLAMS are copying.
Religion Goes Out"
The first feature 10 go by the
board in Russia was religion. Schools
were formerly conducted by priests
and the curriculum was two-thirds
religion and one-third education.
This order Is reversed now. The
bolsheviks are teaching two-thirds
socialism and communism and one
third educa ton, the latter being
mostly reading and writing. Since
many OF the children in the cities
were starving. the bolshevik gov
eminent in Moscow and Petrograd

There is the St Joe River.
And on the bank there is a club

And on the club house there is a
name,
What is that name?
The Niles Buchanan Country club
was born some time in the fall Of
1915 (the exact date is not known D..
But at the christening the following
officers were made in a way respon-
sible for it's success: z. r. Ross,
president: H NJ. Towar. vice presi-
dent; d. s. Scoffern, treasurer; and
/ 7. r. Semple, secretary. Feeling
their great responsibility. they
thought it wise TO secure the help
OF about as many people as they
could find, who were interested in
,he Country club, which number
turned out TO be about 100. Since
the Country club had begun life
without a cent 10 it's credit, these
members contri buted in the way of
fees for its bringing up"
War Causes Hiatus.
Then came the world war. and
some of it's supporters abandoned
the Country club grounds for larger
fields, aviation fields. army training
fields, and corn fields. But never
at any time was the Country club
left all alone. An income Of $4,000
visited il every year. which kept It
alive. So even though its coat
turned brown from lack of water
with economy il kept out Of debt
But forever" is a long time. in
fact a little too long for the war to
last AT its close numerous improve
ments to the club were planned
many Of which are being carried out
now. A holding company known
as the Niles-Buchanan Golf associa-
ton sold stock to purchase the land
and they are putting in a complete
water system, consisting of a .pump
and engine located at the river
which will pump the water TO "a
| 10000 gallon tank on the highest
point OF the golf course. and which
will give the Country club greens.
and fair-ways plenty Of water at
all times.
An Attractive Course.
The golf course part Of the Coun-
try club is exceptionally attractive.
and rather unusual in that it is full
Of natural hazards. The length of
IthecOurse is about 1900 yards
for nine holes, and II is laid out on
\ 81 acres of land on two lerels. the
one slightly above the river. and
the other about 100 feet elevation
from the river running up to the
Niles-Buchanan stone road The
club has an option on so acres west
of the course which il expects tc
take up in two or three years.
The golf course is not the only at
tractive feature Of the Country club.
since it is on the river. there are
splendid opportunities for canoeing.
motor boating, fishing and bathing.
Tennis and baseball fans enjoy the
Country club too, fer courts and di-
almonds are there
/. House Is Comfortable.
The Country club house itself may
look modest, but il has a large liv-
ing room with a hre place. which
only goes 10 prove that It is not so
modest after all. Then there are
locker rooms at each end OF the liv-
ing room with shower baths But
no establishment is complete with
out kitchen. and the Niles Blu
chanan Country club has one OF
? those. too. Two large Porches. one
facing the river and the other the
