TEUToNs TRIED TO TUNNEL.
Out of Concentration Camp at Holds

Sydney, Australia, July II Correspond
ence of the Associated Press Several
hundred Germans and Austrians made an
attempt to escape by tunneling from
the Noteworthy concentration camp
here recently in order to foil the purpose
of the Australian authorities to send
them back to Germany and Australia.
The military authorities had previous

they were soon TO be returned to their
native countries Shortly before they
were to be taken out of the internment
camp, the authorities discovered tun-
mel $50 feet long which led from one of

GREAT AMERICAN OPERA

opera to be produced by an American
composer, with an American theme which
shall crystalline Americas musical at
tainments This work, he said, was
shaping itself IN the efforts America was
now making in her music halls and CON
seryatories.
II am looking forward with some
amount of anxiety to the production of
great musical work in America in the
near future" said Signor Mascagni.
There will certainly be produced soon
a great American musical composition.

the music of America, music which ia so
popular there. The strains which take
the popular ear will repeat themselves

her social, economic and artistic life and
will be another step and another contri.

The Good Roads Movement.

The good roads movement initiated at
Montpelier yesterday should receive the
cordial support of every resident of the
state. Its object is surely worthy enough
and the manner in which those interest
ed in the movement are approaching the
subject indicates very sensible trend
in thought.
The first thing it is proposed to ascer.
tain is whether or not sufficient num-
Der of people in the state are interested
enough in the good roads movement TO
assist in financing an organization for q
period of three years. If they are the
movement will go on, if not, there is no
reason why it should go on.
As pointed out by the speaker at the
afternoon meeting development of motor
truck travel is going to create new and
pressing problems in highway construc-
ton, and they must be met as they de-
velop. He expressed the opinion that mo-
tor truck transportation would develop
at an mdreamed of rate in the next five
years and that consequently the road
problem would rapidly become one which
could not be evaded
The question now develops into the
very simple one as to whether the state
is sufficiently interested in highway inn
provement to sustain a permanent high
way organization on broad basis.
This is movement of and for YER
mont, with no assistance from out of the
state, so that whatever objections were
raised to the patrol movement through
outside connections will be removed at
the outset.
In numbers, the meeting yesterday
was not impressive, but there was a
good deal of sane thought expressed and
an evident determination to get some
where.
II now develops into simple question
as to whether good many Vermonters
are willing to put their shoulders to the
wheel and endeavor to put through an
energetic road organization, or whether
they intend to stand on the sidelines
and scott at those who are willing to
work as well as suggesting Interior mo
tiyes, mainly political as being respon-
sible for such activity.
If state having as nucleus $4,000
automobile owners cannot perfect and
sustain an excellent road organization
there is something radically wrong with
public sentiment. Burlington News.
