Baths For Men In the Trenches

Willingly Walk Miles For Them

DERLN, Germany, Jan. SO.-The
- greatest pleasure German soldiers
enjoy while doing duty at %
front is a bath. A. H. Zeiz, a private,
sent a letter to relatives living here, in
which he tells how he and his com
rades had to walk seven miles, ride in a
train for an hour and to march again,
in order to have the privilege Of en-
joying a shower bath lasting exactly
10 minutes. He writes:
THE army corps 20 which I belong
has given the boys the finest Christmas
present one can imagine out here. a
bathing establishment. The cooling room
Of large brewery has been transformed
into a bathing place. The pipes that
carried warm beer in times Of peace
are now charged with warm water.
1--WE were quartered in Thielt,, seven
miles from LichterfeIde in West Elan
ders, doing reserve duty. We had
plenty to eat and our cheeks. that had
become thin II haggard, were filling
out again. But m thing was missing
to make our pleasure complete, a
chance to stand under a shower of clear
water.
"One day an order came from division
headquarters telling us our regiment
would be permitted to battle. For each
company a certain time was fixed. We
had to march seven miles to LIGHTER
felde, where we boarded a train. It
TOOK US one hour to reach ROulers.
There we had to march again. Then
we had to wait two hours before our
turn came. Taking five minutes for
undressing and five minutes more for
dressing again, we had Just ten min
utes for bathing. 1 never enjoyed a
bath like this one. Members of the
sanitary company acted as bath at

tendants. They had furnished a barber
shop where we wild men were trans
formed into civilized human beings for
the small sum of four cents each.
After bathing and shaving we took
mart in a Christmas celebration. A tree
was lit up with candles and all the
men received hot coffee and cakes. We
sang several Christmas songs and our
captain then distributed packages
containing presents, such as. pipes,
shirts. socks and other warm wearing
apparel.
But the most highly appreciated
present was the bath. All the boys are
idolizing the commander of our corps
for giving US a chance to wash the
outer man and everybody is going to
fight so much the harder for him.

day when the whole Ompan was
ClamOring for potato pancakes and not
a bit of lard could be found for miles
around. not even with the help of a

the part OF the soldiers. Boots should

So the cook fried flapjacks in the

England Calls on Schools to Aid

Officers Recruited From Academies

r ONDON Eng, Jan. SO.-The ques-
ton of military training in the
schools is now a live one over all
Britain, and the chief agitators are not
army men, but teachers.
Lack of proper material for officers

injured at the front and to supply

i-nadequately differed territorial force.
is one of the most serious problems Of
the war.
All of the higher schools have been
called on for subalterns. as the British
Tommy objects to serving under any
officer not born a gentleman. The
teachers feel that they were in a sense
TO blame for not having given their
students some elemental preliminary
training further than that of the small
student Officers corps.
