SOLDIERS DRESS IN
WHITE To MATCH
SNOW COVERED FIELDS
(By Associated Press.)

VIENNA, Jan. 9.-Use of the skis
in this war, previously described in
these dispatches, has been developed
on large scale out in the Carpathians
and on the hills and dreary plains of
Galicia, where thousands of Austro-
Hungarian soldiers move about rap
idly and noiselessly in this manner.
Their first duty is scouting, but now
and then they are Obliged to fight and
fight hard.
While some of the ski organizations
have white uniforms others have to
make use of white blankets to render
themselves as invisible as they posi-
bly, can.
A ski patrols experience of a night
is here related by the officer in charge.
The patrol had left camp in the even
ing, and, wrapped in white blankets.
the men were speeding through a Car
pathian forest late at night when the
breaking of twigs cautioned the off,
Ger to order them to cover.
"a second later" he says, 81 heard
an alarm signal given by one of my
corporals. l decided to investigate and
with three men proceeded in the d.
rection whence the signal had come.
Near an ice and snow-covered brambIe
bush one of the patrol signalled eau
ton, and then informed me that near
him on the right there was a Russian
scouting party.
There was nothing to be seen, how
ever. Though the moon shone bright
ly, the tree trunks, snow-covered I'M

silver sent down by the gently moving
branches of the trees, hampered the
view. So we crept under the bram-
bles and saw to it that the powdered,
cold silver, entered by our collars.
THE ensuing wait was none too
pleasant. We were measuring the
snow with the length of our bodies,
which is not the finest pastime know.
Right ahead of me there was an open
stretch of snow and had been watch
ing the filigrees thrown upon it by the
moon as its beams broke through the
branches of the tall beeches and oaks,
when a long, black shadow appeared
from the right.
THE next instant three Cossacks en-
tered the clearing. Their horses were
small and shaggy and white, and the
men seemed to hang in the saddles ra-
Their than sit in them They were wrap

ped in thick furs. The bright moon
Light showed they were Asiatics-
broad faces with strong chins, promi-
nent cheekbones and long black
boards with the frost clinging to the
hair.
"a sign from ME and my men were
on their feet-another moment and the
Cossacks were off their horses. They
were most surprised lot. AFFECT ter
ror stood in their eyes and they had
difficulty in understanding that we
were no evil spirits of the forest.
"The Cossacks had hardly been TAX
en- to the rear by one of the men when
the vigorous tramp of Russian infantry
was heard. Back under the bramb1e
bush. Twenty yards away from us the
Russians marched past"
The writer then recounts how the
ski patrol followed the Russians into
a village. Later in the night he was
able to get in touch with the comman-
der of a German contingent, which &C.
cupied a quarry on the other side of
the village. Towards morning he also
discovered how the Russians who had
taken the village could be outfanked.
With dawn everybody was in his place
and fire was opened. The Russians
were forced to retreat in disorder,
leaving behind many killed and wound

yards, and the young volunteer asked:
Where is the road to Maricourt?" The
answer was another query: What reg
iment do you belong to-" The SER
geant major answered with a shot.
The French cried out, jumped back in
to their trench and opened fire. it
was taken up all along the trench and
the bullets hailed about the Germans,
who jumped backward a few PAGES
and threw themselves face down.
Three-quarters of an hour they lay
thus without moving. Then the French
who had mentime been strengthened,
left their trenches. climbed over the
entanglements in front and
came forward, searching for the in
truders.
Let them come on" whispered the
sergeant major Suddenly he command
ed squad fire. Volley after volley
greeted the advancing Frenchmen,
many of whom fell. The Germans re-
treated rapidly few PAGES and again
threw themselves down and remained
motionless. Rife fire tore up the earth
around them and whistled over their
position, and machine guns added to
heads. Rockets began to light up their
the danger. The little party withdrew,
leaving one of their number dead, and
regained the German trenches.

GERMAN SQUAD TAKES
DESPERATE CHANCE
(By Associated Press

BERLIN, Jan. ia young volun-
teer from Charlottenburg describes in
a letter from the front a daring recon-
Nuisance undertaken by himself, with
a sergeant major and four other men,
in an effort to learn which French reg
iment was posted in the trenches 800
yards away. A reward of $50 marks
and the Iron Cross had been promised
should the expedition succeed, but the
six men declared that they would ac-
cept no money.
They started on dark night walk
ing in stockinged feet as quietly as
possible through snow, and gradually
approached the enemy's trenches until
they were but fifty yards away. Then
they were hailed with a "Who Goes
There?" Patrols who have lost their

new DIRECTORY OF
LONDON IS SMALL
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

LONDON, Jan. 11.-For the first time
in years a new edition of London's city
directory shows shrinkage. The 1914
directory weighed exactly Is pounds.
The directory for 1915 has wasted
away to IA pounds IA ounces. Part of
the two ounce loss is due to the disap-
pearance of German and Austrian
firms. This directory contains the
names of business houses, professional
men and householders, but the popu-
lation living in hotels or boarding
houses is not mentioned, so that it is
difficult to ascertain the shrinkage due
to enlistments.

EVERYBODY
FRIGHTENED

Police headquarters was star-
tied out OF its usual morning
lethargy today when n big gong,
connected with private alarm
wire in the city treasurer's office
began ringing with an ear-spllt-
ting appeal. The gong is used
only as an emergency in case a
hold-up is being attempted in the
city's vaults.
Four policemen, headed by
Captain M. ID. Guy, jerked out
their revolvers and rushed up
stairs. They burst into the
treasurer's office with their cock
ed weapons held out before them.
Everything was serene, and the
clerks were almost as badly
frightened by the thrush of armed
policemen as the cops had been
when the bell rang.
Investigation showed that In
sulation on the alarm wires had
worn off, forming an electric
short-circuit.
