- land, where the season OF
white is the jOlliest time
of the year, says the Washington Star.
Then came the war, cruel, de-
yastating and ever-spreading. With
wizardlike swiftness Switzerland
modified her army and ever since
the ancient Helvetian republic has
been described as "an island of peace
In q sea of war;"
To those who know her, Switzerland
in summer represents master study
in artistic color combinations; Switz-
'erland in winter, however, is q totally
different vision, radiant in dazzling,
-spotless white. Jack Frost has i'm
printed a silencing kiss upon the bah
bling lips of every tiny brook and
mountain stream, and giStening
sheets of the smOOthest ice cover also
the limipid blue eyes of ponds and
Alpine lakes. While mother earth is
thus wrapped in a wonderful mantle
of ice and snow, the sky above has
assumed the matchless hue of a pre-
lciOus sapphire, and the always deli
lciOus mountain air seems to have ac-
quired some additional qualities which
rejuvenate and strengthen the whole
human system and which instill into
every being, young or old, an inexpli-
cable feeling of light-hearted happi-
mess. Very shortly, one finds every
body interested and engaged in some
form of winter sport.
&c -l- Of
many games compete now with this
oldest of sports on the ice, which has,
however, been developed into an art
which charms the onlooker by the
lgracefulneSs of its movements, and
again astonishes by the cool daring OF
its swift rushes.
AS in summer over the lawn. so flies
the tennis ball over the ice in the
game of hockey. Curriers' are frandcal-
ny sweeping their "stanes" toward the
coveted goal, and the unlimited di-
versity of gymkhana stunts offers con-
slant amusement for the players as
well as for the Onlookers.
! The improved appliances for sport
requirements have nearly ousted the
Old-fashioned herdsmen'S sleds which
are now only occasionally used by
timid beginners. The up-to-date We
hicle is the So-called skeleton, a low,
yard-long toboggan. on which the
rider lies flat steering the craft with
hands and feet. Like sn arrow, 1t
darts up the iced walls of the curves.
and as the bewildered spectator fear
FULLY anticipates an accident, the to-
boggan shoots down into the furrow
and around a beautifully shaped curve.
One of the most attractive and GER
tainly a very social sport is bob
Eleighing. Long. low, padded tobog-
cams seating as many as six persons
are used and under this heavy burden
the bobsleigh shoots down its course
With amazing speed. As the leader

 "Unfortunately it is evident that many of our public men are afraid of Germany, afraid of the professional German American vote and are Will ing to sacrifice the honor Of this coun- try to their fears.
 Hypocrisy, stupidity, weak ness, were the mildest terms he em~ ployed in characterizing the attitude of the government toward internL- tional problems. The situation as re- eards Mexico disgusted him.
 For five years," he shouted, we have pursued a policy of both cow ardice and infamy in the face Of our duty toward Mexico!"

NO NEWS OF MISSING
 U. s, SUBMARINE k-5
Lost in Fog 0f Carolina Coast
 Early Sunday Morning

Charleston, N. C., Jan. 31.-Naval vessels continued to search the Caro- lima coast early today for the United States submarine K-5, reported miss ing since 1 o'clock Sunday morning, but according to information avail ble here their efforts had been futile. The submersible had not re- sponded to wireless calls sent out from shore stations and naval vessels, and this led marine men to express fears that the boat had suffered at least an accident to her wireless ap- naratus. A heavy fog hung over the coast between here and Cape Roma1n forty miles north of here, where the k-5 last was sighted, and this made more difficult the task of the searchers.
 The K-5. with three other sub marines of the same type-the K-1, K-2 and K-6-convoyed by the sub- marine tender Tallahassee, left New IOrk January 27, enroute for Key West, Fla, for maneuvers in southern waters. The Tallahassee and the other three submarines arrived off Charleston bar last night, but fog Prevented them from entering the harbor.
 Naval Boats in Search.
 Arrival of the fotilla and it's con- Voy Was followed by the Talahassee's s wireless report to Washington naval officials that the K-5 was missing Shortly after that naval boats in these waters, including the destroyer Wor- Gen, the coast guard cutters Yama- craw, and Seminole, and the buoy tender Mangrove, were ordered to Dcgin search.
 At the Charleston Navy Yard all lnquirers were referred to Washing ton.
 The k-5 was said to have aboard a crew of from six to eight men.
