Sk| PATROL AS A
 SCOUTING PARTY

VIENNA, Jan. 7-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) Use of the skis in this war, previously described in these dispatches, has been develop. ed on a large scale out in the Carp athians and on the hills and dreary plains of Galicia, where thousands of Austro-Hungarian soldiers move about rapidly 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 DOS sibly can.
 A ski patrols experience of 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 Carpathian forest late at night when the breaking of twigs cautioned the officer to order them to cover.
 "A second later" he says, q heard an alarm signal given by one of my corporals. I decided to investigate and with three men proceeded in the direction whence the signal had come. Near an ice and snow-covered bram- ble bush one of the patrol signalled caution and then informed me that near him on the right there was Russian scouting party
 There was nothing to be seen, however. Though the moon shone brightly, the tree trunks, snow-covered and a shower of powder ed silver sent down by the gently moving branches of the trees, hamp- cred the view. So we crept under the brambles and saw to it that the powd- cred, cold silver entered by our col lars.
 "The ensuing wait was none too pleasant We were measuring the snow with the length of our bodies, which is not the finest pastime I know.

STRONG APPEAL FUR ALASKA

Invincible in the arguments 1t pre- sents in an effort to bring an end to conditions that would never be toler- ated if their significance were under stood by the general public of the United States an appeal to Congress has been sent by Seattle's Alaska steamship companies and Puget Sound companies, asking that the national solons provide for wire drag survey of Northern waters, the construction of proper steamships for the coast and geodetic survey, the charting of Alaska waterways, the establishment of aids to navigation and the creation of the office of supervising inspector for Pu- get Sound and alaska.
 The appeal was sent to Congress early and is believed to have had weightwy influence with the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce, which has since made a ia vorable report on the bill to appropri. ate $525,OO for the construction of modern vessels for the coast and geo detic survey.
 The appeal was drawn up at a con ference of steamship officials and is signed by J. c. Ford, president of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company; by R. w. Baxter. vice-president of the Al aske Steamship Company; H. F. Alex ander, president of the Pacific Alaska Navigation Company; M. Kalish, vice president of the Humboldt Steamship Company; H. c.

 TRENCHES

hAMbbNb, beTinaHys Jan. i-tCOr' respondent of the Associated Press)- Narrowing and exciting details of mining and blowing up trenches are are told by German officer in a letter to local newspaper, describing in particular the capture of strong po- sition held by the French in the Ar gonne forest. Many of the French soldiers were killed and the others were captured. The Grown Prince sent blankets and wine to the men who accomplish this feat. The letter fol. lows:
 By the first of December our com pany had been under fire for the fifth time. and the distance between our trench and that of the French had de creased from 52O feet to from nine to fifteen feet. But the company on our left was separated from the French by a vale, on the far side of which the enemy had laid out three line of trenches.
 We had come to consider the posi- tion as imprcgnable. But progress had to be made somehow. Our pio- neer detachment, therefore, decided to mine the French trenches near the position of our company, which, as already stated, were only from nine to fifteen feet away.
 Some of us feared that the French would be doing the same thing and would try to blow us up first. Our men worked hard for this reason, and on December first the mine was ready. At 10;3O in the morning our first trench was cleared of men, and at 10:45 all our trenches were empty. It was exactly 11:19 when the pio- neer lieutenant placed his thumb on the electric button. Then followed a detonation lound enogh to herald the end of the world.
 ''In front of us shot up a large black column of earth and gases It was fully 600 feet high and when it collaps- ed a rain of earth fell down on us. Our men had taken cover in the woods, and it was well that they had done so. For about two minutes it rained great chunks of earth and rock.
 When it was safe again in the open our companies advanced through the hole which had been blown in the French position. The first trench was full of dead soldiers and some who been buried alive. In the second and third trenches the French were so attled that they surrendered easily. Inside of half an hour we had taken the entire force of the three trenches eight officers and 37S men. Two off cers were among the dead
 "We also took three mine-catapults from the French Our losses were three dead and seven wounded. But we were lucky, indeed. Among the French prisoners we took were some pioneers, who told us that they had mined our trenches at eight points but had not been able so far to place the mines. They had attempted toe much and had lost

MOVE ATTEMPTED TO
FREE PFANSCHMIDT
Attorneys Claim He Has Not Had
Speedy THAI as Provided BY
Law and Asks Release.

PRINCETON, III, Jan s.--Yester
day morning in the circuit court o.
Bureau county the first move in tbs
new Pfanschmidt trial occurred when
the attorneys for the defense, Covert
and Lancaster, argued in behalf OF
their motion to set Ray Pfanschmfdt
free.
According to the constitution, every
defendant placed in jail shall be en-
entitled to q speedy trial" The
statute of the laws OF Illinois defines
what speedy trial" is, namely,
that the defendant shall be tried
within four months OF his imprison-
ment. The argument OF Rays law
yers Is that he was incarerated In
September, 1912, for the murder OF
his father, Charles Pfanschmidt, and
not until January 1915, was he
brought to trial on this charge. They
argue that, according to statute, he
is entitled to be set free because he
has not received the speedy trial" as
provided by law.
The state will oppose this motion
They argue that Pfanschmidt was put
on trial for another offense commit
ted in connection with and at the
same time as the offense for which
the defense says he has not been tried
in time. They further state that every
continuance Of the case from every
stanGpoint has been with the consent
of the defendant and at his own re-
quest. Manifestly while he was be-
ing tried within proper legal time
for the murder of his sister the In
dictment for the murder of his father
had to hang over. The delay caused
in bringing him to trial for the muir
der Of his father was caused by the
defense in their arguments for new
trial and q change Of venue on the
charge OF numbering his sister.

The organization Of permanent as

ball franchise at Clinton. is expected
to he perfected at meeting tomor.
row, following the visit at Clinton yes
terday of NJ. e. Justice, president OF
the C. A and T. M. Hume Of Burling-
ton, secretary.
According to Mr.. Justice, who re-
turned last night from Clinton, there
is plenty Of money in sight to sup
port the club. The greatest need OF
the city is that Of permanent organ
ization. Last year the affairs Of the
club were handled almost entirely by
Bert Hough, manager of the club and
owner Of the players. Three "dfrec-
tors" self appointed, made the ar
Irangements with Hough under which
he conducted the club there last year.
Officials Urge Organization.
Justice and Hume urged the neces-
sity OF the fans of Clinton forming a
permanent organization such as exists
in the other cities of the league. As
result a meeting will be held to-
morrow when this organization will
be formed. Officers will be elected
and money raised so that the $500
guarantee can be posted by the city
at the Waterloo meeting.
1t is doubtful If a manager for the
Pilots will be selected until after the
meeting at Waterloo. There seems to
be much doubt about the return of
Bert Hough to Clinton next year.
Hough is admitted at Clinton to be a
good manager, but he failed to gain
any large amount of popularity with
the fans Of that place.
James Mcnamara OF Clinton, for
mer manager OF the Bloomington,
Three-Eye league club, has been sug-
gested. as possible successor to
Hough in th., event the Sphinx" Is
not invited to return. Mcnamara has
had great deal OF experience In
baseball and it Is believed around
Clinton he would make good man
for the job. He is well liked there
where he has made his home for a
number OF years. Mcnamara is an
old catcher.
