Refugees Electrocuted.

The Hague, July 24.-Reports
from the Belgian-Dutch frontier are
to the effect that many persons are
being killed by a high voltage of
electric wire fence which has been
constructed by the Germans along
the entire border. Every morning,
it is asserted, there are found from
half dozen to a dozen charred bod
les of Belgian peasants, including
women and children, who during
the night had attempted to cross the
fence and we're electrocuted.

BIG BOULDERS USED AS
WEAPONS IN THE ALPS

Innsbruck, Tyrel, July 24I(Cor-
respondence of the Associated
Press) While both Germans and
Austrians are fighting with 42-centi-
meter cannon. and with weapons
that are the last word in the art of
the arms manufacturer, the Tyro-
leans who have been drawn into the
war by the entry of Italy find that
the weapons used in the Napoleonic
.warss are still effective. and are US
ing them with what is reported as
great success.
The old weapons are nothing
less than huge boulders which they
are rolling down, avalanche-wise,
onto the Italians as the latter at
tempt to storm the heights along
the AustrorItalian frontier. They
are proving quite as deadly as any
shells have done in this war.
The avalanche of rocks was first
used successfully in the battle. of
Belfiore on June IA. The. Austrian
forces consisted. Of gendarmerie and
Tyrolean sharp shooters, whose
forefathers had fought a hundred
years ago in approximately the same
place.
The third company of the Seven
ty-first Italian infantry regiment be-
gan an attack on Before. attempt
ing to come up along the ravine of
the Gina Norre. Long before they
were at the top, however. the down
pour of boulders began.
Many of the Italians were killed
at once, others were so severely
wounded that they were captured.
Those who could. scrambled to one
side of the ravine or the other. but
only to become easy marks for the
bullets of the Austrians.
Major Reyer, of the gen.
darmerie, who inaugurated the stone
avalanche plan, has been decorated
with the golden bravery medal, the
first of it's kind to be bestowed on
the Italian front.

TRAINLOADs WESTERN
HORSES BEING SHIPPED

Butte, Mont, July 24.--Billings
in Eastern Montana. is becoming an
important depot for the shipment OF
war horses to Europe. particularly
to France. The shipments from Bill
lings are averaging more than q
trainload of horses per week and
soon will reach at least two train
loads. The French army agents In
the West buying horses have made
Billings the shipping center for
horses bought by them, and they
alone are handling a trainload a
week, while buyers for the other
European nations are also active in
that district. t. Montana, Wyoming
and Dakota are being secured by
the horse buyers of Europe, and at
the rate horses are being purchased
the available supply will be bought
up this summer
According to the representatives
of the foreign Governments, the de-
struction of horses in the war has
been tremendous, and the demand
for them is greater now than at the
beginning, Notwithstanding the use
of railroad trains, motors and other
power-driven vehicles at the battle
fronts. The death rate among the
horses is high when brought into
service.

Washington. July 24.-The an
nual report OF the Commissioner OF

some interesting figures anent the
number of persons enrolled in edu-
cational institutions in the United
States in 1914. 1t shows that in
round numbers there were 22.O0O.-
900 such persons. or a little more

tion of the country. basing this pop
ulation at 100,000,0O0.

other 100000 were in normal

and the remainder were scattered
through other types OF institutions
The teachers for this educational
army numbered 100000. of whom
$4,000 were In public schools. In
point of rapid growth the public
high school still presents the most
impressive figures: the enrolment

than for the year before.

WAR SUPPLIES AEipEO
HIGH At 'VLAOW0STOK
Russia Is Making Great Prep.
aration For Continuance
I. OF the War.

Vladivostok, July 24.-This port
is to save the day for the Russian
armies, provided the feverish activi-
ty at the water front where piers
and docks are being enlarged to re-
ceiye vast shipments of war NUM-
tions from the United States and
Japan, permits the unloading OF
much needed supplies with the rap
idity desired.
Within sixty days 10000 Ameri-
can freight cars and 400 American
locomotives will be set down here
to carry the big shipments of Amer
Jean dynamite. pig lead, pig copper
cotton, clothing and other supplies
to the Cars army corps.
Vast quantities of the American
goods come direct from New York
by way Of the Panama Canal. These
include guns, rifles and ammuni-
ton. From Seattle are arriving
steamships loaded with hundreds OF
motor cars made at Detroit, Cleve-
land and other points.
Already American and Japan
made war necessaries are piled high
