Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): Mimicking the Ermine in War; Caption 1: As winter comes on the ermine changes his coat of brown to one of white to match the
snow and escape his enemies. Soldiers of Austria's mountain battalions have torn a leaf
from nature's book. They, too, garb themselves in white to escape their enemies; Caption 2: Since they must travel on snowcovered mountains the Alpinists of the Austrian army use Norwegian skiis. Austrian snow patrols often raid the opposing scouts by sliding down the mountains at a terrific rate on their skiis, shooting as they go. The momentum of such a charge is almost irresistible, and they are often able to rout a superior force by sheer weight and daring
