It was said by one prisoner that several other trusties could have made their escape because uf the confusion that followed. Jailer Joe Sherry Was noncommit tal on the escape except for saying that he "trusted" the men.

Peace Trend iii Ruhr Row Seen Both Allies and Germans Tir ing of Contest, Correspon dents Declare. London, March 10.—Although of fering no very definite evidence to support their statements, some of the British correspondents in the Ruhr assert that there is a tendency Inwards peace and that both sides would welcome a settlement, ending the strain of the last few weeks. Both the workers and the indus trialists on tlie German side are tired of the struggle, the correspondents say, the former seeing no hope of winning while at the same time, their sufferings are augmented daily. The industrialists, with the exception of one or two of the most influential, are feeling Increasingly the pinch of lost trade and are fear ing for the future. The French on their part are represented as suffering scarcely less. They have not gotten what they went into the Ruhr to obtain, and French industries are being se I rioualy affected by the curtailment of the coal supply. The suggestion in these dispatches 1 is that, it will be impossible for pres ent conditions to continue much longer. Check Suspect Held.
