DlMINlsHEs RESISTING POWER.
The first man to make an expedition
across Greenland was Doctor Nansen.
He and his men had TO cross on foot,
spending several weeks on floating ice.
For 40 days they tramped over frozen
snow with SO degrees Of frost. In re-
ferring to this journey, Doctor Nan
sen said:
The only spirits that We took were
as fuel for our stove to melt the snow,
that we might have water to drink. |
believe the use of stimulants to be a
mistake"
Capt, Edward Parry, after IL years
experience in the Arctic regions, said:
Are ardent spirits necessary? l say
decidedly, No. 1t is said they keep
the cold out. say they do not; they
let the cold in"
The whole crew of the vessel that
took Commander Peary to the north
pole, from commander downward,
worked on temperance principles.
They could face go degrees below zero
and all hardships better without alco-
hol. No wines or intoxicants we're
taken in connection with their work.
In the words of Sir Benjamin Ward
Richardson, the eminent English ply
stefan: You know that alcohol only
makes the body feel warm, because it
causes more warm blood to come to
the surface of the body, there to lose
It's heat and leave the body colder.
You know that cold and alcohol exer-
else the same kind Of influence on the
body, and that when working In the
cold, even in the EXTREMIST cold, that
man will work longest and best who
avoids alcohol altogether"

 In France and Belgium, tre allies offensive is being pressed. and. while some ground has been gained at wide ly separated points, other attacks have been repulsed by the Germans from their strongly entrenched posi- tons. Tn the northern area the artil- lery and the warslips yesterday took mp the battle, giving the infantry a rest, but lower down the line and from the Disc to the Mouse fierce fighting took place in many districts.
 While the progress of the allies is extremely slow, military experts here and in France believe that the gains which the general staff has been able to report are disturbing the Germans system of Qualifications at vital points and will, is successfully continued, compel a retirement by the Germans from thir present lines.
 Tn the east most of the Germans north of the Vistula have retired across the East Prussian frontier be- fore the onrush of the German forces. but south of that river, between the continue their advance and announce tonight that in fierce battle they have succeeded fin crossing branches of the Bzura and Rawka rivers at many places.

GENERAL SUCCESSES
 REPORTED 1L RUSSIANS.
Tn. combass With Both Germans and
 Austrian Troops.

Petrograd, Dec. 20.-The following statement from the staff of the Rus eian commander in chief was issued tonight:
 'sOne Dec. 21. on the left banh of the Vlstula River between its lower course and the Pillica River, a number of fierce encounters took place. Among these the fighting on the left bank of of the PiIica developed particularly.
 'In general we repulsed all these attacks, indicting heavy losses upon the enemy
 'We only evacuated some small po- sitiors and fell back toward the east in order to occupy more advantageous positions.
 Our counter attacks resulted in the throwing into the River of the German troops who had crossed the Bzura near Sachaczew. These troops suf- tered heavy losses in killed. Also we captured nine quick firing guns.
 The situation between the Pilica and the upper Vistula River is without important change, except in the region of SkrzynHlo, where the Austrians after having crossed the Nida River were pushed back upon that stream by the bayonet attacks of our troops. Eigh- teen of their officers and about one thousand soldiers surrendered.
