Suffer From the Cold.

Cold weather has frozen the slush.
improving conditions in the trenches
in one sense, the account goes on, but
the drop in the temperature makes the
men so stiff that many have to be
lifted out of the trenches when re-
lieved, and others are sent partly
frozen to hospitals.
Beyond the hardship inflicted on in
dividuals,' Col Swinton says. "the
change in the weather chiefly has af-
fected aerial reconnaissance and
transport. The freezing makes the
roads better and the clear, crisp at
mosphere aids the aviators to see the
landscape more freely.
The Germans in one place are using
d 42-centimeter howitzer against the
British left, it is said, and the report
tells of the capture on November q of
a German aeroplane bearing circulars
calling on the Hindus to desert Two
more German aeroplanes were brought
down on November %, one after
running aerial fight in which a Brit
ish aviator was wounded. This Ger
man machine was captured, but the
other succeeded in landing within the

weather conditions existing before the

to the attentions of the allied artillery.
1t is possible to render roads imprac
tlcable by long-range fire from heavy
guns either by shelling any object
that attempts to pass or merely by
dropping shell on the road itself.

interesting touches from the battle
front are contained in an account from
the pen of a British eyewitness, Col
f. u. Swinton. under date of November
%. given out by the London press bu-
reau. OF chief interest was the state
ment that the Germans are using a 81
lent gun, probably of pneumatic equip
ment. Concerning this weapon the ac-
b. count says:
In our center the enemy employed
silent gun. which may be pneumatic or
worked by some mechanical contriv-

charge, the projectile travels through
the air without any of the warning
made by an ordinary she'll and the first
notice to be received of its arrival is
the detonation. So far the weapon has
done no damag ge.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2s.--The
city health commissioner. DR.. F. r.
Smvth. brought before the city com
missioners at their last meeting the
matter of hospital care for contagious
diseases. He holds the case to he
very urgent, and, in his representa-
tons to the board. maintained that
the present detention hospital is in
such condition that it is absolutely
unfit for use, especially in cold wealth
er. The place is held to be not only
in u ~ricsety condition. but very un-
sanitary. having no conveniences Of
any sort.
DR.. Smyth urged immediate action
to provide against the of a
sudden epidemic of contagious dis
ease, which would find the city un-
prepared to cope with the situation.
