INTERNEES ESCAPE FROM CAMP
SECRET TUNNEL USED LONDON, September 29. A sentry at the internment camp at Peel bn the Isle of Man Has discovered the secret of the escape of three internees earlier this month. It was a tunnel burrowed from the centre of the camp to a field. , The burrowing must have occupied weeks, but the men avoided detection by distributing the excavated earth throughout the camp. The tunnel is now sealed. , Fighting broke out between internees last night and doctors treated the injured this morning. Demands are growing for much sterner measures. The governor of the island has informed the Peel town commissioners that steps are being taken for the better protection of the townspeople, and the camp authorities have announced a curtailment of visits of internees' wives and a weekly limit of 10s for parcels for internees.
