Clear Enemy From Woods
Along the western side of German
salient there is no ocial mention of
events of special Importance last
night. 1t is reported that French and
Americans We're attacking the enemy
this morning, centerng their efforts
on the work of clearing the Germans
out of the wooded area to the south
and southwest of Fere-en-Tardenois.
This was said to- have been nearly
accomplished
In spite of the general expectation
that the Germans are fighting on the
southern side of the salient to cover
The retreat of their armies and the
salvaging of the vast supplies piled
up along the Marne in preparation for
the great offensive which began July
Is. there appears to be a disposition on
the part of some of the military eX-
perts to consider the possibility of a
new German attack somewhere on the
battle line between Soissons and
Rheims.
Foe Hopes for Victory
The stubborn manner in which the
enemy has been fighting, and his fail
ure to attack on some other sector, it
is contended points to the facl that
the Germans are committed to re-
newed offensive along the Marine in
the hope of still winning a victory
there.
Along the British front near Arras
and Lens and along the Somme sector,
the German artillery has been active
British raiding parties have been
active at various points along their
lines.

Don't apply snow to freezing ears,
nose, or any other freezing or frozen
part Of the body, If you believe in the
advice of Vilhjulmur Stefansson. He
ought to know, for few men have had
more experience than he In success
fully battling with the extreme cold
of the arctic regions. The idea that
snow is helpful III such an emergency
is very prevalent, but according to
Stefansson, 1t Is absurd, and snow
tends to complete, rather than prevent
freezing. This is What he says about
It in his book MY Life with the Es-
kimo:"
ct is curious how many an artic
explorer has carried with him through
lengthy experience in the north SUI
perstit1ons about cold which have
grown up among his ancestry in warm
climates. One Of these superstitions
Is that when your face or any other
part OF your body begins to freeze,
you must thraw it out with an appli-
cation OF snow. Few things could be
more absurd. Any high school pupil
could tell us ofthand what would hap
pen If liquid air were applied to a
mans cheek or nose; of course that
part would freeze instantly. The
same would be true Of the snow OF car
bon dioxide, and the same is true of
the snow of water, except, Of course,
that the freezing will not be so nearly
instantaneous.
Whole Face Frozen.
Nothing I have read in the litera-
ture Of the arctic ever impressed me
more than the account OF one of the
famous explorers of half a century
ago who tells how he dali with frost
bitt. The story runs substantially as
follows: A sledge party was travel
ing along one day when the comman-
der of a sudden noticed small spot
of white the size of a 1o-cent piece
upon poor Mr.. So-and-So's cheek With
promptness upon which he prides HIM
self in the narrative, he Immediately
ordered halt and camp to be pitch
ed, and while the other men OF the
party were thus occupied, the COM
mander rubbed poor Mr. So-and-So's
cheek with snow, but so intense was
the cold he tells us, that before camp
was finally pitched the wretched
mans entire face was frozen.
''Such ignorance of elementary
things as this story shows can be
justified only by pointing out that a

have known no better. Even in a
warm room 1t would be possible to
freeze a mans whole face by rubbing
it in snow which was brought in from
out-ofdoors when the temperature
was below minus 40 degrees F. The
whole secret of dealing with frost bite
is to keep your hands warm and
when the weather is severe) to run
your hand over your face every few
minutes to see II any part OF it be
frozen. Usually you can also keep
yourself fairly we'll informed of the
condition of your face by continually
wrinkling it and making faces II a
spot Of skin on your cheek or chin the
size Of 25-cent piece becomes stiff
you can always detect It by making a
grtmace. Then all you have to do is
to take your warm hand out OF your
mitten and press ii on the frozen part
for a moment until the wilderness and
stiffness are gone. In the very cold
est weather our method of taking care
OF the face is little different, how
ever. When man is properly dress
ed for winter his coat is loose-fitting
one with the sleeves cut SO that at
any time he likese he can pull his arm
out of the sleeve and carry his hand
on his naked breast inside his coat.
The neck of the coat is made loose
and whenever any part OF his face re-
fuses to wrinkle up he pushes his
hand through the loose-fitting neck of
the coat and presses 1t a moment on
the stiffened portion Of the face So
soon as the frozen spot is thawed out
he pulls his had in upon his breast
again. In this way one can walk all
day facing a steady breeze at IS or 40
degrees below zero"
Stefansson goes on to tell how for
safety In the arctic regions one must
go smooth-shaven. for when ice FORMS
on the beadr ones hand can not thaw-
! tout in time to avoid freezing of the
hand, which is as bad as or worse
than freezing the face.
