MANY DEVICES USED
FOR FIGHTING PURPOSES
(By Associated Press. }

London, July 23-The War Office,
as we'll as the Admiralty. is receiv-
ing and sitting proposals of new de-
vices, covering the whole range OF
land warfare, guns, explosives,
shields, movable armored fortresses
of attack and defense, together with
plans for the great utilization OF
some of the defenses already known,
such as barbed wire.
This one item of barbed wire is
working almost revolution in the
accepted ideas of land warfare. One
of the chief officers, after returning
from the trenches in Flanders said
that at many points Of the line he
saw barbed wire laced into an al
most solid weave a mile wide In
front of the trenches.
"Such a lace-work is absolute

SAINT BERNARD PASS.
AN ARMED CAMP
(By Associated Press.)

Zurich, Switzerland, July 23-The
famous Saint Bernard Pass, between
Italy and Switzerland, which was
traversed by armies in Roman and
medieval times, and by Napoleon's
army in 1900, is again an armed
camp. The Hospice, or monastery,
at the summit of the pass, whence
the monks send out their famous
dogs to the succor of travellers in
winter, is occupied by an outpost OF
Swiss soldiers who took up their
abode there in midwinter, arriving
on skis.
The abbott and his monks, about
dozen in number, had an easy
winter. Very few wayfarers traver-
sed the pass this year, and no dis
asters occurred. The dogs-the IA
nous st. Bernard breed has been re-
placed by Newfoundland stock
had scarcely anything to do.
The morgues where those who
died in the Pass are laid have re-
Gently been walled up. The morgues
are small stone huts. NJ attempt is
made at burial; the bodies of the
dead, clad in the garments they
wore when the disaster occurred
are lined up against the wall, with
sticks driven in the ground to keel
them erect. Bodies of men who per-
ished in the pass thirty years age
are packed tightly within these
two morgues, kept in an excellent
state of preservation by the fros
| and snow.

EFFECTS ON OUR FUR TRADE
FELT AT LEIPS1C
(By Associated Press.)

Leipsic, Germany, July 23-ln
common with London, Paris and
Petrograd, Leipsic has felt the ef-
fects of the war on the fur trade
with extraordinary keenness. The
business in this line is practically
at a standstill, and few II any firms
are adding anything to their al
ready over-large stocks. In previous
years 1t has been just at this time
that they have begun to load up.
Someone with access to figures In
other countries than Germany esti-
mates that there are now on hand
in the fur concerns in London some
4,50O,000 muskrat furs from North
America, nine million skunk skins,
$4,000 Australian opossum skins,
127, 900 civet skins, $4,000 fox
skins and 1880 polecat skins. Lon
don neither can dispose of this enor-
nous number of pelts. nor can
Leipsic avail itself of them.
The heavy loss which the war has
caused the fur trade is indicated by
the fact that the price, last year, fol
perfect black fox pelt. 0750. has
dropped this year to 800.

EXAMINERS MAKE
BEST SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press.)

Manchester. England, July %,
From a Manchester officer who has
been in France since the beginning
Of the war, serving with the British
staff, the Manchester Guardian has
cleaned some interesting views as to
the character of the different va
rietides of British soldier in the test
of war.
In the opinion of the officer, the
best soldiers is the examiner. He
prefers the miner because he is
strong in the back and used to
dangers and explosions; because he
can endure cramped positions in the
trenches; because his ears are quick,
because he is curious about sounds;
because he is intelligent. The min
er puts two and two together much
more quickly than any other class
of men.
