WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE vOSGES, Dec. 15.-(By Mail.l-
With the return Of heavy snow In the
Vosges, ALASKAN dog teams today are
vieing with tho automobile drivers OF
the American Ambulance, and the
members Of the NOrweg'a al Red Cross
ski Corps, for the honor Of bringing
Ia the greatest number o. wounded.
The Alaskan sled dogs, gathered IN
the United states most northwest
territory. constitute the latest war
material being supplied from Amer
lea to France. Although the Allies,
through their supreme mastery Of the
seas, are able 70 gather war supplies
in any part Of the world tho Alaskan
dogs are conceded the honor Of COM
ing from tho most distant point, and
over the greatest distance, on which
Tie Allies have yet been obliged TO
draw.
The original number Of sled dogs
brought TO the Vosgos from Alaska
numbered about 500. They have bred
and multiplied so rapidly that France
now has al her disposal over 1000
dogs With all Of the 5ieds and mate
rial necessary for performing an in
creditable amount OF transport ser
vice in the snow clad attitudes Of the
Vosges.
It is principally in tho Vosges that
the members Of the American Ambu-
lance have been assigned to duty.
Their light, speedy cars not only
enable them 70 scale all the peaks on
which roads have been built. but even
TO leave the roads themselves in the
direction Of the first line trenches for
the purpose Of picking ap the
wounded.
In these Alpine regions, however
there are hundreds OF places which
even the light American cars with
their absolutely fearless collegian
drivers cannot reach, and It is in
these districts that the Alaskan dos
teams and the Norwegian Red Cross
ski corps come in for the bulk o.
the work. The Norwegian ski Corps
fully equipped for field Ambulance
work, volunteered It's service to
France, the same as the American
Ambulance. and has already done val
liant service.
The Alaskan dog service. however
was brought out and organized by th'
French Army itself, which sent ex-
perts to Alaska, Laborador and Can.
ada to purchase the dogs. Owing &c
the fact that Alaskan dogs are nearly
white, they are practically invisible
against the snow, and can therefore
approach within comparatively
short distance OF the German lines
for the purpose Of picking up the
wounded without being fred on.
Seven dogs with one Of the Ions
, Alaskan sleds and a single driver
can pick up a wounded man. lay hin
at length on the sled. and bring hin
back to a dressing station with re
markable speed.
Ambulance work, however, is only
small portion Of the duties assigned
the dogs, and they are a considerable
portion Of the transport service oI
the French army in the Vosges. They
carry munitions food and water tC
all parts Of the line with the utmos
ease.
The usefulness Of the dogs does no
cease with the snow in the spring
The French engineers are famous fol
their construction of tiny, narrow
gauge railways and all the mountain
peaks and rides Of the Vosges, now

"Flapper" will doubtless prove the
most abused word in the list of 1917
names of feminine types.
We Americans do remarkable
stunts with other peoples languages;
we change the final "o' in kimono to
an "a" and congratulate ourselves on
improving the ancient Japanese; we
pronounce the first syllable OF lin
gerio as II It were spelled long and
feel that no Partisan could do better;
and we have already mlsconstrued
the English flapper before VIC have
become acquainted with the true
type.
The "flapper" originated in Eng
lish society a dozen years ago. She
Is just becoming known in this coun-
try, mainly as having given a smart
name to certain fashions for girls.
In her native land, the flapper is
an honest, tallIative, critical and very
active girl. Is OF 16 years old. She
has no respect whatever for her
brothers. opinions and she makes run
OF his friends OF quarrcls with them.
And she Is not the least bit senti-
mental. outwardly. Probably, the flap
per does dream Of herself as a Sleep
ing Beauty. and Of a Prince Charming
who has already started to search the
world for her. and perhaps it is be-
cause she cannot reconcile her prince
with the kind OF young man she
knows that she Is so unnecessarily
sarcastic.
Her Indifference 20 the opposite
sex makes her most irritating to all
young gentlemen. She is a good
sportswoman. she goes in for the game
and not for the clothes. and often she
can beat a male opponent. She takes
honors IN school, too.
She is more nearly the equal OF
the male than at any other age, and
she is very apt to let him know it.
This little trait does not add to her
popularity with the boys. but It does
give them a good excuse for ridicul-
ing the flapper.
Because she never flatters any
man. she is practically at war with all
OF the other sex, except her father
and her uncles, who adore her.
Such is the real flapper.
Persons who apply the word TO
the rouged, coiffured. Enthusiastically
dressed and precociously sentimental
little girls who vulgarize modern
ideals of maidenhood are maltreatine
very good bit OF slang. It's deriva-
ton doubles its significance; in the

English sportsman's vocabulary a
flapper is a young bird unable to rise
in flight, especially a young wild
duck.
The term is almost exactly descrip-
tive Of the delightfully."- innocent little
girl who Is, properly, a fiapper. It
is a pity that the genus is so rare in
America. When a young bird begins
to rouge. she ceases to be a flapper-
she has learned how to fly!
