German resistance is brushed aside in both these offensives and the pace of the Russian advance is fast. In the central portion where German counterattacks are being delivered to guard the escape railway from Odessa to Lwow the enemy is spending lives and material prodigally. On Gen. Vatutin's front west of Kiev 100,000 Germans have lost their lives in the past three weeks, Moscow claims, and the destruction of materiel has been enormous.

By 2 o'clock this morning, more than 100 motor trucks and other vehicles had left Mendoza but they also were unable to reach their destination because the roads had been rendered impassable by huge cracks. Despite these difficulties, nreoa- rations to aid th survivors in San Juan proceeded throughout the day.

In like manner, the decomposition of water by the magnet proves the existence of the magnetic current." At this point Dr. Ehrenhaft displayed a permanent magnet and a long U-shaped glass tube fitted Into it. with which, he reported, he had just succeeded in decomposing water. His previous experiments had been done with an electromagnet, "in which the magnetism is temporary. In this experiment the two pole pieces were immersed in acidulated water and the gases evolved from the two poles were collected separately for chemical analysis.

The analysis showed. Dr. Ehrenhaft reported, that oxygen and hydrogen had been evolved at both poles, but a "greater quantity of oxygen was found in every case to have come from the North Pole." One of the remarkable observations emerging from this experiment, which greatly interested tho physicists, was that the pole strength of the permanent magnet considerably diminished in this process. "During a period of twenty-four hours when the evolution of gases was taking place," Dr. Ehrenhaft reported, "the decrease appears' to have been about 10 per cent and this loss has not since been regained." Permanent magnets, it was explained, generally remain for years without the loss of pole strength The loss of 10 per cent in one day would indicate, therefore, that the magnetic energy or current was used up in the decomposition of water.

Growen says the training received under rigorous conditions keeps the men in top physical shape and ready to help country. In addition they can enjoy their favorite sport and get paid for it. NEEDS ENGLISH TERMS, He has only one complaint to market regarding skiing, and it is one concerning the terms used.

He asks why good English expressions are not substituted for the German words now used. Why not say "run," rather than "Shuss? Or "fall down" instead of "Sitzmark?" Or "forward bend" in place of "Vor-lage?" These terms he believes came Into popular usage because the Germans commercialized skiing on a grand scale. Of the skiis themselves he says hickory is best, not so brittle as birch or ash, and stands up equally well under mild weather. His own are of American hickory, made in Norway. They are 17 years old and still going strong.

The theories he has taught this year's class were put into practice yesterday when the ski troop fought a mimic battle. Enemy forces were assumed to be holding the bridge in the Ste. Rose district so a force of skiiers were sent on reconnai-sance. C.C.L.

The syndicate's officers blamed C.C.L. organized interference during the strike with the failure of their own officers to control the membership for the "unfortunate outcome" of the same. They said while the committee of nine worked very harmoniously to achieve unity among the strikers, other elements inspired by selfish motives hindered our officers from progress." He continued "when people begin to get sore and beat up reporters and shout at their own officers as some of these fellows did it is time to call off a strike, regardless of what it may cost." The complete personnel of the arbitration board to settle the white-collar dispute will be announced this forenoon.
