proximity to you after few days

His pertinacity and vitality is
amazing. He requires ten times as
much killing as any German, but our
medical service has proved equal to
the task of circumventing his wiles.
The battalion is paraded and marched
to the nearest bath. Often this is I'M
der shell fire, and the shrapnel is
screaming overhead. But no one needs
such trifes as these. Each man strips
and throws his shirts, underclothes,
and socks into heap. His uniform
he takes off, and ties to it his tin iden-
LITIGATION disk. At word Of command
groups of fourteen nude forms with
a wild howl of joy rush into each of
the steaming tubs. From these arise
a chorus of screams and chaff as the
men soap or duck each other in soap
suds.
Clothes Steamed and Washed.
Meanwhile the uniforms are placed
in another vat, and steamed for ten
minutes. The heat is so great that
no evaporation takes place, and they
come out perfectly dry. Each man
as he energies from the bath after
his allotted span is handed towel and
a fresh set of underclothes.
He then dries himself, puts his
new garments on, and claims his uni
form, recognizing it by the Identified"
ton disk. The underclothes, which
he took off are then boiled or steamed
in great watts, and then handed over
to the washerwomen who are en-
ployed for this purpose at four francs
$50 cents day. They are then care
fully inspected and if found perfectly
clean are made up into sets, and are
available for the next battalion which
comes to be washed.

battalion was having its turn. A young

This is the day we all live for. It

and dirt. l don't believe one of US

British General Headquarters,

almost everyone in England had COM

regular army, and felt certain that it
would give a splendid account of it

hand there was widespread mistrust
of the capabilities of the new terri

Paint Rock castle overlooking Paint

count got up to light a cigarette, and
then, by jove, started to remove the
plates.
The guests watched him in an
open-mouthed silence. His napkin
slung over his arm, he had got nearly
all the plates removed when his mil

Spanish Renaissance period, although
it's splendor has been marred by the
addition of the chamber of deputies,
built in 1857, and not in conformity
with the original architecture.
The palace itself was built in 1872
by Count Ernest Of Mansfield. Under
one of it's doors may be seen the mono
grams of Siegfried, who founded the
city and the Countess Ermesinde, who
gave it's municipal freedom.
Louis XIV spent some time in the
palace and Napoleon tarried there in
1904.
Other points Of interest in the city
are the remains of the former forbid

Notre Dame, the National library, the
Casino, containing good restaurant

Town That Hugo Loved.
To the students of Victor Hugo the
town of Vianden near the eastern Dor
der is sacred from the fact that the
Frenchman deeply loved the town. he
paid five visits to it, going there In his
travels and his exile. The house where
he lived in 1870 and 1871 is appropri-
ately marked.
Centuries before the Romans made
a protracted stay there, building tort
on a high rock, which was called
Ruomberg. Later Attila, with his
hordes, drove them out, and the VIC
tors also gave the name to one or
heights there-Hunnenley Rock OF the
Huns.
No description of Luxembourg could
be called complete without at least
brief allusion to Echternach, scene OF
the Dancing Procession, a religious
ceremony that dates back several CEN
turtles. it's actual inception being IL
doubt. The practice, which takes place
every Whit-Tuesday, is believed to
have sprung from an incident in the
eighth century.
A strange epidemic afflicted the cat
tie of the people whereby the animals
suffered sharp paroxysms that gave
them the appearance of dancing. The
people rushed off to the tomb of Saint
Willibrord to pray for the recovery OF
the cattle. In their haste to reach the
tomb they almost danced, as did the
cows. Their herds got well This start
ed the ceremony. AS many as 10000
persons participate in the dance and
an equal number are spectators.

Luxembourg was in no position to op-

Hence it is still the possessor of a
well-developed industry, of smiling
fields and meadows, and of people

 After reviewing the case Sheriff Wheeler and County Attorney Ross decsded that the man could not be held for, bootlegging under ;he present pro- hihition law. and the case which had been filed against him was dismissed The Arizona prohibition law states that liquor must not be introduced or sold in the state.
