FIVE CONVICTS ESCAPE POISON |.ong Term Convicts Tunnel Out Os Kansas State Prison Lansing. Kaii. May 27 'UPFive long term convicts. all classified as dangeroil*, escaped from th« Kansas state penitentiary today from a tunnel they had dug for that purpose in the prison coal mine After reaching the surface they fled In the 1937 model coach of a prison mine officer. All of the men were in the prison for capital crimes and all had Iteen there for more than nine years. They were Lloyd Sawin. sentenced for first degree murder. John Eldridge.. a bank robber. Frank Wetherlck, first degree murder. George Swift, grand larceny and George Raymond Hight, bank robber. The men were member* of the night repair crew In the coal mine and had been assigned to patching walls In the shaft, a task at which they had workr-d many month*. Laboriously they had dug down 30 feet Into the shaft, then cut a horizontal tunnel across to a sewer line They followed the SeWer line to a place where It was about in feet below the surface of the ground, then dux up. Warden M F. Ainrine said he did not know how long the men had been working on the tunnel, but said that from the elaborate layout and from the fact they were only able to spend a little time each night In working on it, that the plans may have been In progress a year or more. ■■ o — BRITISH NAVAL UNITS /CONTINUED FROM PAGE <>NM> Mr. Roosevelt’s remarks are expected to fit into the complex of sea warfare when officials charged that the Nazi warning against IT S. convoys, voiced by grand admiral Erich Reeder, was designed to intimidate America. Apparently the story of the naval conflict which historian* may christen the battle of the henmark Straits began about a week ago when a Hrltlsh plane was believed to have spotted the Rlsmarck leaving the Norway coast The Rrltlsh were believed to have trailed the Bismarck and her escort warships north toward Iceland. A strong British battle force obviously was ordered out to meet and fight the Bismarck. Th" Bismarck presumably had set off on a great raiding expedition against the rich British convoy* which follow the northern route from Halifax. skirting Greenland and Icelatid en route to the northwest passage down to the British Isles. Saturday morning the Brlti*h and German war fleets met In the Arctic water* between Greenland and Iceland—the Strait* of Denmark There was a brief, sharp encounter in which the Bismarck with her modern guns and better armor plate came off the motnen-

Th-- great Hood sank In a slngle exploslon that is believed to have cost the lives of almost all her 1.361 officers and men But the Bismarck -lid not come off unscathed Hhe suffered some damage, although the Nasi com miinique of Saturday minimized Ba estent. The Germans also claimed that another British battleship was hit and forced to break off the encounter But that was only the beginning of the halite. Th- British with bulldog tenacity fired l-y the blow of the Hood's loss clung to the trail of the Bismarck. British torpedo planes raced after the German warship and scorwl a hit Bunday All through Sunday and Monday the grim chase went on The Bismarck raced for the French invasion C<HISt. Yesterday. British sources reveaied. an American apotter plane, one of the big consolidated flying boats, picked up the Bismarck and flashed a signal of her location British torpedo planes drove a torpedo Into th- steel plated sides of the Bismarck This morning the Bismarck’s career was ended A brief British admiralty communique disclosed th- bare fact of th-* sinking but gave no details for the moment A 'little later the Germans admitted the loss. Th-- official news agency placed the scene of the last and fatal battle tint sea miles west of Brest. France apparently the port for wliich the Bismarck was raci-.g Th- coup d<* grace was administered. lA-ndoti revealed, by the Prince of Wales, th-- new sister dreadnaught of the Goorge V. which smashed th- Bismarck heavily after the powerful German warwhip had la-en badly |>oiind>-d by torped-a-s. Apparently the Bismarck was finished off with more torpedoes after being pounded l-y the Prince of Wales The British admirally today lifted th- secrecy Which has covered Its losses in the battle of’Crete. It reported that two cruisers and four destroyers were sunk In (’retail waters and that two battleships and several other cruisers were damaged, not seriously. The lost cruisers were the Gloucester. 9.100 tons, and the Fiji, 3,0-10 tons. The loss was one which the British -already short of light Mcort and scouting forces, particularly cruisers and destroy-
