bright moonlight showed they were
Asiatics-broad faces with strong
chins, prominent 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 a most surprised lot. Alb
ject terror stood in their eyes and they
had difficulty understanding that we
were no evil spirits of the forests.
"The Cossacks had hardly been
taken to the rear by one of the men,
when the vigorous tramp of Russian
infantry was heard. Back under tn,
bramble bush. Twenty yards 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 COM
mander of a German contingent, which
occupied quarry on the other side OF
the village. Towards morning he also
discovered how the Russians, who had
taken the village, could be outflanked.
With dawn everybody was in his place
and fire was opened. The Russians
were forced to retreat in disorder,
leaving behind many killed and
wounded in addition to prisoners.
I'VE are known as the white
ravens" concludes the account.

Vienna, Jan. 21.-Use OF the skis

on large scale out in the Carpathians

Galicia, where thousands of Austro

While some of the ski organizations

make use Of white blankets to render
themselves as invisible as they pos

The patrol had left camp in thu

| Has 1t ever occurred to you that the
chief cause for failure upon the part
of teachers in bringing out the best
Of many pupils is because of the lack
/ of cooperation Of parent and teacher
or of faculty home training, or home
environments? The mother has been
slow to realize the fact that she, as
having the first opportunity, is re
sponsible for the condition In which
her child is presented to the teacher.
When she thinks of the fact accepted
today by psychologists and educators,
that the greatest success attends eff.
forts made before a child is in any
attempt to establish sound habit of
body and mind. it must be evident to
her that she has failed In her duty If
she has not sought and done the best
that was possible under her conditions,
when preparing her child for the time
when outside educational influences
must be depended upon. Both mother
and teacher must become experts in
dealing with children and learn to
know how to deal individually with
each child. diagnose his personality,
know something Of his body, mind and
soul: get rid of the standard of the
word cram" in education, which most
parents encourage In order to see re-
