which now exist IN unsettled regions Of western. Canada.
Reads dd mot exist, and the faint trails made BY occa-
stonal sleighs were quickly obliterated by the drifting
snow. 1t was easy to lose ones way, and the lost traveller
was in grave danger: And, on the subject Of what to
do when lost in . snow storm we have advice quite con-
trary to that which has usually been given from an emf
nsnt authority.
Among the not many things about which there has
been what seemed like absolute unanimity Of opinion
and belief was the proper behavior Of a man caught out
In q binding snowstorm and unable to find his way home
or to other shelter. Everybody has said, and it has been
printed innumerable times in innumerable books, maya
zines. and newspapers. that he should keep moving in
order to keep warm-that, If he sat down, and especially
II he went to sleep. that would be the end Of him, for he
would freeze to death.
And now along comes vihjalmur stefansson with
the calm assertion that this belief is utterly wrong! The
man caught out in a blizzard, he says, should stop the
he finds that he has lost the sense Of direction.
He should make himself some sort OF a snow house II
permit; if they do not he should sit down
with his back to the wind, rest his head on his knees and
so to sleep, and wait for the storm to blow over.
That. at any rate, is what the Eskimos invariably
Go when they find themselves in such a situation, ana It
is what is done by wise white travellers in the Arctic. And
when they are correctly dressed they do not freeze to
death nor do they suffer any particularly severe hardship
from the cold. .4, ~

OBJECTS

Again the German cabinet. in conference with party
leaders, has declared it's unalterable opposition to submit
ting to coercion by the Entente, either in armistice nego-
tations or in anything else. Demands for the requisit1on
Of shipping are held to be unacceptable because submits
ture, and the powers represented at Paris are warned
that the German government will not be responsible for
the consequences of continued speculation on German pa
thence.
These continued declarations from that which passed
for a government in Germany tend to bore one. Doubt
less they have their purpose, or purposes. They are prob
ably intended to have some influence in allaying unrest
from the humanitarian standpoint. the need for monify-
ing and harmonizing influences in Germany is SO great
that we may view with some measure of federation meas
ures for that purpose, even though they may be otherwise
reprehensible.
A further purpose may be to gain better terms by
wearing out the patience of the Allies, and by creating
the impression that the Germans are actually prepared
their liking. Neither expedient will be successful. The
peace commissioners should, and undoubtedly will, pro-
coed to formulate the conditions under which the Ger
mans can have peace. Those terms will be communicated
to the German representatives, and they will be accepted
for the simple reason that Germany can do nothing but
accept them unless she wishes her entire territory to be
sarrisoned by foreign troops or her entire people cut Oh
appealed to force and lost. Terms which are the conse-
quences of her act will be imposed on her by the force
to which she appealed.
