Details of Fighting
in Alps Picturesque

Geneva, July "a. = Correspondence
OF The Associated Press) Swiss SOL
diers and guides bring some pic
turesque details of the fighting be-
tween Italy and Austria in the Alps
around Stelvio Pass, nine thousand
Ieet hlgh. and the neighboring heights
overlooking the Valteline Valley.
StelVlo Pass is an important back
door entrance into Italy, threatening
Milan. 1t was strongly fortified by the
Austrians and manned by a large
body of mountain artillery. The
Italians have similarly fortified other
passes nearby, and there are daily
artillery duels, while at night the
whole district is swept by searchlights.
Swiss soldiers on sentry duty a few
miles away keep constant watch over
the scene. Near the point where the
Swiss. Italiau and Austrian frontiers
meet there are several villages where
the inhabitants all speak a half dozen
languages and dialects.
The principal pass was buried under
TWO rect OF snow when war began be-
tween Austria and Italy, but the Aus
trian Alpinists cleared a path straight
to the summit, and recently fighting
has been taking place above the clouds
which cut off both sides from view of
their base and supporting artillery be-
low; so that they have to depend for
orders and instructions on the field
, telephone.
The Italian batteries on the lower
ridges obtained the exact range of the
summit of the pass after n few ex-
periments, and they keep up a con-
t1nual cannonade, firing through the
clouds, of course without seeing the
result of their shots.
The Red Cross workers on both sides
experience the greatest difficulty in
reaching the wounded at isolated
places in the upper ranges. The
nurses in this district must qualify as
skilled Alpinists.
Smugglers are making huge sums
through dealings. in tobacco, matches.
salt, and other articles whose export is
forbidden by all three countries. Most
of the smugglers are young women,
who climb many thousand feet into
the passes with their little bundles of
goods. The soldiers seldom insist on
strict observance of the expectation
rules in these cases, and even the
officers buy their wares gladly. Young
Swiss women are able to sell their five
cent cigars at profit of ten or fifteen
cents each, although the price is
scarcely eXhorbitant when it is con-
sidered that the young women must
make trip of several miles along the
most perilous mountain roads and run
the risk of being shot as spy in order
to reach her market.

MINERS PROTECTED

Month Under Superintendence
of State Inspectors

Among the many precautions taken
to safeguard the lives OF the anthra.
cite mine workers of Pennsylvania is
the testing at least once a month OF
the safety catches on the elevators, or
mine cages, used in the shafts, These
tests are now legal requirement. but
they were originally instituted by the
operators.
The test consist of dropping the
elevators, fully loaded with coal. to see
that its safety catches are in working
order and capable of preventing a fall
in case the rope should part. For
carrying out these drop tests" a spe-
cial release hook coupled to the end
of the hosting rope is provided. When
the trigger of the release hook is pull

the safety catches. but its fall is stop
ped within few inches. The power
Lul catches act promptly and grip or
oite into the guides tighter and tight

Naturally no men are allowed on the
cages during the tests. but the loaded
cage itself weighs about three tons and
this great weight is all exerted in max

The tests are always Witnessed by re.

IN addition to this the coal COM

the heads of all shafts where men

and hitting the wheel. or drum, at the
top of the. shaft. This device auto
matically shuts off the steam from the
engine and applies the brakes unless

MINERS ARE BEST SOLDIERS

Manchester, England, July "a. -
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 varieties of
British soldier in the test of war
In the opinion of the officer, the
best soldier is the examiner. He pre-
fers the miner because he is strong in
the back and used to dangers and ex-
plosions; because he can endure
cramped positions in the trenches; be-
cause his ears are quick because he
is curious about sounds, because he is
intelligent. The miner puts two and
two together much more quickly than
any other class of men"
