KaZan is a vicious Alaskan
sledge dog, one-quarter gray
wolf. He saves his masters life
and is taken along when the mas
ter goes to civilization to meet
his bride and return with her to
the frozen country. Even the
master is afraid to touch the
dog, but Isobel, Kazan's new
mistress, wins his devotion in

McCready, dog-team driver,
joins the party. Inflamed by
drink on the following night,
McCready beats the master in

Kazan flies at the assailant's

punishment, the dog takes to

him. He still bore the scent Of traces,
and of man. The pack would have torn
him to pieces. The first instinct of the
wild is that of self-preservation. 1t
may have been this, a whisper back
through the years of savage forebears,
that made Kazan roll in the snow now
and then where the feet of the pack
had trod the thickest.
That night the pack killed a caribou
on the edge of the lake, and Toasted
until nearly dawn. Kazan hung in the
face of the wind. The smell of blood
and of warm flesh tickled his nostrils,
and his sharp ears could catch the
cracking of bones. But the instinct
was stronger than the temptation.
Not until broad day. when the pack
had scattered far and wide over the
plain. did he go boldly TO the scene of
the kill. He found nothing put an area

bones, entrails and torn bits of tough

ALLIES PREPARING FOR THE WINTER
Warm Clothing Being Rushed
From Factory and Home
to Men in Trenches.
Big MOVES NOT LOOKED FOR
Short, Sharp Blows at Selected Points
During Fine Spells, With Occa-
sonal AirpIane Raids To Be
Order of Day for Winter.

Paris.-Preparation for the fourth
winter campaign on the western front
are already in full swing. The sum-
mer campaign is over and while both
the English and French may be ex-
pected to make a few big drives, 1t is
not anticipated that the beginning of
winter, for military purposes, will see
any radical. alteration in the war map
of France and Flanders.
Millions of sweaters, socks, paper
suits, rubber Wellington boots, head
wraps, mufllers, gloves and mittens
are beginning to flow out from fac
tory and home to the French poilus
and British Tommies, hundreds of
thousands of whom are facing their
fourth winter period in the trenches.
The comfort of the fighting man is
so carefully studied now, after three
years experience, that nothing will be
overlooked to make the coming harsh
trial bearable.
Practically all the way from Nieu-
port to Verdun the armies are in quar-
tiers totally different from those they
occupied last winter; with the excep-
ton of one or two stretches - as
around La Bassee and the Argonne-
the French and British are stationed in
captured German lines. Throughout
the spring and summer the men have
shown little inclination TO dig, feeling
that in view of the possibility Of a
further move forward, just enough
shelter was good enough for the time
being. Turning over earth has never
appealed to any infantry in this war.
but necessity is likely to force them to
do lot of 1t in order to provide them
selves with snug and well-drained
trenches for the winter.

embracing all branches that go to
make for the efficient operation of
modern war machine, and a big share
will be taken over during the bad
weather by Americans, not only in
the United States, but also In France.
And this quite aside from the training
of the fighting men and the education
of the officers in the latest phases OF
warfare.
The result of all this activity will
be that next spring the entente allies
will possess a superemnent war ma
chine, gunned, manned and equipped
in an unprecedentedly complete and
magnificent manner. 1t was correct to
say last winter that in 1917 the entente
allies would develop striking force
which could not be exceeded in 1918
if the war continued. But at that
time the Intervention of the United
States was only dim possibility; the
revolution in Russia and the collapse
of her army were foreseen by nobody.
Tough Problem for Enemy.
AS the situation stands at present,
with the United States adding her
mighty power to the common lot, and
with a still unextinguished hope that
the Muscovites may he brought back
to their old aggressive fighting. men
belonging to the inner circles of Eur
rope affirm their belief that the entente
allies will be able to confront linden
burg with a far harsher problem IN
1918 than they could have hoped TO
put up to him in 1917.
Next spring the British army will
still be at top strength. for in the past
summer Haig has put forth nothing
like his maximum effort, and in con-
sequence has suffered losses far below
the figures anticipated at the British
war Office. When ii was seen that the
Russian army must drop out of all
offensive plans this summer and that
Germany would be able to develop an
unexpected strength upon the western
'front.' the Franco-British policy natur-
ally became more conservative. The
building up of the American armies
has confirmed the wisdom of this
course. which looks to the accumuia-
ton of an irresistible power before the
last continuous, annihilating blows are
delivered upon all possible fronts.

U-B0ATS NOW EMPLOY
SMOKE SCREEN DEVICE

New York.-New German de-
vices for aiding U-boat frightful-
ness are reported by passengers
on an American liner just ar
rived In port from England.
One is the use of smoke
screen In which the submarine
may conceal itself while attack
ing, escaping or submerging.
The smoke screen has been used
for months by battleships, de-
stroyers and merchantmen. Its
first use by a submarine was re-
ported in the warnings of a u
boat Off the Atlantic coast.
The other device is the use Of
mirrored periscopes. BY coat
ing them with silver the perl
scopes reflect the surrounding
water and become invisible a
couple of hundred yards away.
1t is believed this explains why
survivors Of several ships lately
sunk saw no evidence of a sub
marine before or after the at
tack.
