MADE FINE TUNNEL! How Prisoners Used War Bread Doled Out to Them. Avenue by Which Captive Allies Had Hoped to Escape Was Really « Perfect Piece of Work—Even Germans Admired It There is certainly more tragedy than comedy in the cruel disappoint- mept of unhappy prisoners thwarted io @ promising and almost successful effurt to escape; nevertheless, the e gal- laut gayety that has marked so many of the allied Aghting men does not fail | them wholly even in such circum- stances, Lance Corporal Charles W. Baker, who recently recounted his prison experiences in the Metropolitan Magazine, wastes no pathos on him- self or on his fellow sufferers when |” they fafled to get safe away through their ingenious tunnel, and can even see a funny side to the affair. Some of the other prisoners had be- gun the tunnel and had worked upon it daily for m month before they let him into the secret, which finally be- ¢ame known to several hundred of the captives. It opened from the last hut at the end of the back row and was headed tor thé only clump of bushes anywhere near the camp..-‘The soll was so sandy that it was impossible to make a tun- pel in the ordinary way; a long time passed before the boys hit on a plan. After our own packages had begun to eome and we had white bread to eat, sfiys the corporal, some genius had a happy thought of using the war bread for bricks. The war bread is as tough end as fard.as rubber and of about thé size and shape of a small stone block that you use for paving streets. We- kept the bread buried until night. ‘Then we plled it up In a kind of crate, and when the sentries were out of sight we rushed it over to the tunnel. It was the most beautiful tunnel you ever saw. The sides were built up like trick wails, and the roof was a perfect arch, The sand that wé took out was the same color as the sand of the camp, and as the ground was almost always wet you couldn't tell the dif- ference. We would take it out,in small tinfuls and scatter it all over the place, and with several thousand men walk- ing round there was no way of detect- ing it. * Of, course It was slow work making thei funnel, for we had to accumulate ing, as it develops the sense of touch,most rapidly.
