RADZIVILOV, Poland, May 21.-Ev-
cry day in the trenches around B,
west of Warsaw, sees attachments Of
some 200 Russian soldiers scrambling
through the forest in the rear for an
evergreen sponge with which to scrub
their bodies in a bathing train nearby
Like school children on a picnic, the
overweight soldiers, after having
dwelt for week under almost con-
tinuous fire, frolic in the woods as
they vie with each other in finding the
best piece of foliage which can be US
ed as rude sort of sponge or brush.
The bathing train to which they
then repair is made up of string of
nine baggage cars along the railroad
line running from B to Warsaw.

bath, and the floors are grooved to lie.
the water run off freely. Although
each car easily accommodates thirty
soldiers at time, all nine cars are
occupied day and night as one lot of
men after another arrives for the
weekly bath, which is compulsory.
The first stage of the bath is dis
injecting car, where the soldiers leave
their clothes and rid themselves Of
the vermin.
After an hour in the Turkish bath,
the bathers proceed into car at the
other end of the train, where clean
linen is supplied, and where their dis
infected uniforms have been brought
to be claimed by checks. The soldiers
finally emerge from the last car,
shaved, sleek and smiling.
The village of B is also inter
esting as a Red Cross center. This
bureau also takes the form of a train,
where in international sleeping cars,
with every luxury known to travel, are
stationed a staff of doctors and nurses.
There is also an operating train at
this point, but only the most serious
cases are taken there. The field hos
pital, however, which is a large cir
cular tent, is commonly crowded with
the wounded.

SOLDIER LOSES ARM
BUT LEARNS To
CARE FOR SELF

PARIS, May 21.-Soldiers in hospi-
tails of the Somme, who have lost an
arm, are being trained in the use OF
the remaining member by Leon Cob
lence, of Abbeville, who, during 80
years experience, has developed mar
velous dexterity with one arm. Mon
sieur Coblence lost his arm in rail
road accident. Little by little he be-
came able to dress himself, make his
toilet, lace his shoes, tie his cravat,
peel fruit, do his own gardening and
trim his own finger nails. He swims,
rides bicycle, plays the piano and has
a license as a conductor of motor
car. Now he is spending his time in
the hospitals wherever there are con-
valescents lacking an arm, showing
them how they can get along in life
nearly as well as if they had two.
