WINTER AND SUMMER
WAR SIMULTANEOUS
Italian General Staff Has to Provide
for Fighting in Both Heat
and Cold.
MANY
CONiBATS
Duel Often Turns on Possession OF
Stout Log Hut or Chalet, Many OF
Which Stud Lofty and Dangerous
W~ildernesses.

ROME, August 5.-The italian gem
eral staff has to provide for a winter
val and a summerwar simultaneously.
Down on the extreme right of their
line, near the Gulf of Trieste, and on
the Carso they are fighting in the hot
breath OF the torrid South European
summer. but at the other end Of the
line, on the Stelvic and Tonale Passes,
the troops still are working amid ice
and snow. climbing over glaciers to
get at one another. and fighting with
rope and Ice AK more han with rifle
and bayonet. Here it is Il war of
sentinels, videttes and patrols, with
distant guns firing over the aretes and
snow bridges and rock chimneys to
which the men cling. No large num-
bers can be brought into action in this
arena. but 1T must be watched with
ceaseless vigilance. and all its tor
tuous inlets and paths. that only the
channels hunters know, s%edulousIy
guarded.
Strange and romantic episodes occur
constantly In this war IN the mountain
frontier. where Austria INT Italy meet
switzerland. On the StelXic the Swiss
troops are out on guard also, and when
there Is a bombardment their officers
carefully note each shot to see that
no projectile violates the neutrality
Of the republic by striking at the
enemy across some outlying spur that
is Helvetic territory.
Many are the epic little combats and
miniature campaigns OF stratagem and
surprise that are waged between small
parties of the Alpini and the Tyrolese
riflemen, mountaineers like themselves,
and. like themselves, wise in all the
learning of the immemorial hills. Of
ten the duel turns on the possession
of n OF those stout log huts or
chalets with which the Bavarian and
other German and Austrian Alpine
clubs have th%oughtfully studded these
wildernesses. 1t now appears that
most of the huts had been placed on
sites of tactical value, which suggests
that the Teutonic Veroine had other in
terests besides those Of sport and scien-
tifc Investigation.

silence. however. and the Sioux
wondered whether they had passed.
Then q more alarming possibility
suggested itself. Perhaps their
foes were stealing upon them un-
der cover of the dark. Alarmed by
the thought. the lads peered anx-
iously into the night. A few mo-
ments later they heard the sound
of hoofs. and as their ponies raised
their heads the Sioux struck them
between the ears to prevent them
from calling. The riders passed 30

were closing in from all sides. and
they knew that their only chance
was to slip noislessly past them in
the dark. Fearing that their pom
les might betray them, they muz-
zled them with buckskin. Then
they rode slowly forward, at each
stride expecting to find themselves
face to face with their foes. The
signals had ceased. and the lads
knew that the Crows were close
upon them. They stopped to listen.
The plain was silent, Realizing
that a moments delay might prove
fatal, they continued to advance.

Grandpa Fears
Ghost of Goat

The boys were on grandmother's
farm for the summer. Their home
was in big city. and the delights
of farm life were something new.
All three of them were full of mis-
chief and fun, but grandfather and
grandmother did not become peev-
ed at their antics.
One day the boys begged grand
father to buy them goat, but he
refused to do so. Finally the boys
saved enough money to buy one.
Grandfather was in town when the
boys brought the white billy goat
home. When grandfather came
home that night, he went into the
barn with lantern to see if every
thing was safe. He heard a noise
in the box stall Grandfather
opened the door, held the lantern
high. He saw a great big white
animal, looking like a ghost, stand
ing on its hind legs in front of him.
He was so frightened that he did
not stop to look a second time, but
ran to the house and burst into the
room saying. There's ghost in
the barn"
Grandmother and the boys laugh
ed until their sides hurt, making
grandfather angry. But he soon
saw the joke. He let the boys
keep their companion. The goat
butted the boys several times, but
they found little sympathy with
their grandmother, who told them
that they wanted the goat and had
to be satisfied if the goat bumped

ter the buck. Before the task was
finished Sun Bird called him.
I'VE have been discovered" he
said as White Otter joined him.
From the foothills to the west a
straight column of black smoke
rose against the sky. They knew
that it was signal, and they
feared that they were trapped be-
tween two war parties. Then they
saw another smoke signal rising
above a wooded ridge to the east.
'The Crows have separated; we
are in great danger" said White
Otter
Yes; We must be very cautious. +"
replied Sun Bird.
The smoke columns began to
twist and break. and the lads knew
that a message was being sent
across the plain. They would have
given much to be able to read it,

laughed, but they didn't stop long
to laugh; they hurried into Old
Man Crows house and into his
pantry. How they did eat. Mr..
Coon said It reminded him OF
party he went to once in a place
where everybody was away, and he
hadn't had SO much TO eat since.
They ate until they were sleepy
and then they locked and barred
the doors and went to bed in Old
Man Crows bed.
In the morning they were up
early and ate the rest of the food
that they left the night before.
Old Man Crow flew home the
second night tired and weary; he
opened the door and went in slowly
and locked 1t behind him.
He was pretty hungry, and the
first thing he did was to open the
pantry door.
He gave one loud cav and held
on to his head: not even crumb
was on the shelf or floor.
Old Man Grow looked around and
saw his bed Some one had slept
In Il. He walked over and looked
at 1t a minute and then he started
and looked closer He picked up
something and held It up and
looked at It; 1t was hair. long and

THE RED ARROW

for they believed it concerned
themselves. They watched anx-
iously until the signals finally
ended in spasmodic puffs of black
smoke.
The Sioux were troubled. They
believed that their enemies had set
some clever trap. and they feared
it would be difficult to escape The
plain was bare and shelterless, and
they realized the folly OF attempt
ing to hide. They decided TO con-
tinue boldly on their way in the
hope of eventually stealing away
under cover of the night. There
fore, when White Otter finally fin
ished his task they rode slowly
away, watching the foothills for a
sight of their foes. AS the Crows
failed to show themselves, the lads
believed that they were riding
cautiously through the timber.
They hoped to fool them by feign-
ing careless indifference. At the
end OF the day, therefore, they stop
ped at a small spring and made
elaborate preparations for spend
ing the night Believing that they
were being closely watched. they
picketed the ponies where the
Crows would be sure to see them,
and made their fire in the open.
"The Crows will laugh at our
foolishness," said White Otter.
ut is good they will learn that
the Sioux are WISE" replied Sun
Bird.
When it was dark the lads began
a cautious retreat. They had not
gone an arrow-flight. however. be
fore they heard the lonely wall of
a coyote short distance in front
of them. They stopped and looked
at each other in alarm. In few
moments the cry was repeated. and
they felt sure it was a signal. Then
farther to the east, they heard an
answer Their courage weakened
They believed that the willy Crows
had guessed their plan.
I'VE are surrounded" said Sun
Bird.
AS though to verify his words. a
third signal sounded behind them.
The Crows had found the camp
fire. The lads wondered il the
west was still ungarded. They
rode cautiously in that direction.
Then they heard the wolf call
directly ahead of them, and they
stopped in dismay.
1--WE have been trapped" White
Otter declared, savagely.
Their first impulse was to make
a reckless dash for liberty, but a
reflection showed them
the folly of such a Vancouver.
They believed that their enemies
