Tho New York "Sun," in a special despatch from Washington, reports the accidental discovery there of a network of underground tunnels supposed to have been used by German spies during the war. The tunnels, which constitute a veritable labyrinth, run underneath tho fashionable section of the capital, and their discovery was made when a' heavily-laden lorry collapsed through a part of the rodway. German newspapers of 1918 were found pasted on the walls, and ,it is deduced that the tunnels were used as meeting places and means of communication by German spies.
