ENDS HIS LIT
AFTER FALLING
INTO GLACIER
Fearing He Would Perish be-
fore Rescuers Come, Man
SIashes Wrist.

SEWARD. Alaska, Nov. 11-Bert
Foreman, badly injured by falling In
to a creyasse in Portage Glacier and
believing that he would perish before
being found, committed suicide by
opening the arteries in his wrist.
Less than a week before Foreman's
death his wife had ended her life at
Anchorage by shooting herself She
was respondent at the time over fam
lily troubles.
Foreman and G. D. Eaton started
from Hope to Portage Bay and at
tempted to FOLLOW the trail over the
glacier. They became separated in
a snOwstorm and Eaton, realizing
that his partner must have lost his
way, went back
Cries for help attracted him and he
located Foreman In the crevasse. BY
working along the ice he managed to
get down into the opening, but by the
time he reached the injured man he
was dying from loss of blood.
Eaton says that Foreman had
strength enough left to say that he
was afraid of freezing to death and
cut the arteries in his wrist to hurry
the end, as he never expected to be
found
Eaton reported the death to Cor
oner Woolley here, who ordered that
the body be brought to Seward. En-
ployes of the government railroad
were expected to help him get the
body out or the glacier.
Foreman had been employed at
Hope on hydraulic work.

COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Feb. 14.-Special: In
creased activity is reported from seY-
eral OF the European war fronts, no

other in Galicia.
The most important infantry OPP
Grafton on the western front occurred
In the Champagne. where a French
attack was carried through after
prolonged artillery preparation, and,
according to Paris, some 300 yards of
German trenches were taken. Berlin
comedies a French gain in this terri
tory, northeast of Massiges, placing
the extent of the captured position at
200 yards.
Petrograd unofficially reports the
Teutonic forces on the defensive on
three important streams along which
much of the recent fighting in Galicia
and nearby fronts has been conduct
ed-the Sereth, the Pruth, and the
Dniester. Several breaches are de
clared to have been made in the lines
OF the Teutonic allies. While admit
ting that the immediate strategic sue
cesses have not been important, the
Petrograd advices record a belief
that the Russian offensive has at
least relieved pressure on the entente
forces along other fronts.
The current Austrian report on the
operations against the Russians ad-
mits no permanent gain for the troops
Of Emperor Nicholas, mentioning spe-
officially operations northwest of Tar
