Open-Ended Barrels,
Seattle, Wash.. May 19. (P. N. S.)
Germany, seeking to prevent the es

marked the Holland-Belgian border
with a high wire fence so charged
with electricity that to touch it means
instant death, according to K. V. Nie
mahtsverdriet Of Haaerswoude, Hoi
land, who is in Seattle on business.
Since most of the attempta to escape
on the part of the prisoners are made
at night, the fence has proved exceed
ingly efficient In stopping the run
aways.
Niemantsverdrlet says that the. sight 1
of dead bodies leaning against the
highly charged wires Is common and
that German soldiers guarding the
border use glass bottles with which
to push the dead bodies away from
the wire.
Holland peasants desirinir to ro into
Belgium have conquered the forbidding
fence by the. sfmpU devise of Insert
