WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

fering from what was apparently
trench feet-this was the casualty list
today for Americas first detachme nt
in the trenches. The first contingent
to undergo trench life returned to bill
lets late last night, another batch of
men taking Its place.
Two silent khaki clad columns met
in the moonlight Of valley "some.
where in Frence" and called low voic.
ed greetings. One marched on to the
trenches; the other returned to the
rear, there to Chamber into warm,
sweet and comfortable billets. This
latter column was the first contingent
Of sammies to do trench duties.
How is 1t up there?" cautiously
asked one helmeted figure stumbling
forward to the trenches, Of another
dirty figure, going in the opposite d.
rection.
Its all right" the latter answered
cheerfully, eff you keep your head
down. The Dutchmen are afraid to
start anything"
Today the training camp nearby re-
sembled wash Monday. Hundreds of
shirts, sweaters and socks were spread
over the bushes and low roofs to alb
sorb the bright sunshine and lose the
peculiar musty smell Of the trenches
they had acquired. The wearers them
selves were luxuriating in clean
clothes and little loafing time. They
were in splendid condition except for
minor ailments.
Except for the last few days the
first Americans in the trenches suf-
fered the very worst weather imagin-
able. It rained and spat sleet most
Of the time.
The clearing weather caused some
artillerying in which the American
trenches were occasionally touched
with. shrapnel and the back areas
with high explosives.

ranging for their balloting today. No
plans have yet been made to record

TIN MILK CAN
WINS HONORS
10 Said to be More Sanitary Than
Individual Glass Bottle
System Now In
Uso,

SPRINGFTELD, ILL.,. Nov. 3.-Sev-
eral years ago Illinois public health
officials secured change In the milk
distribution system from large tin
cans to individual glass bottles.
Today, Dr. G. st. Clair Drake,
director of the department OF health,
declared that, after an exhaustive
trial. the department is convinced
the individual glass bottle system 1s
much worse, from public health
standpoint, than the old tin can plan.
OF the numerous typhoid fever out
breaks in Illinois he declared practi-
cally everyone had been traced
directly to the dairies through the
Individual glass bottle system.
1.-THE dairyman," DR.. Drake de-
clared, leaves the bottle of milk at
an infected home. Next day the
bottle is collected and mixed with
hundreds Of others. Unless every
bottle and everything which came in
contact with the infected bottle is
sterilized the infection Is certain to
be spread.
"a recent outbreak of typhoid
fever during which several persons
died. was traced directly to the de-
fling Of milk bottle with body
waste in an infected home. It was
not until a state inspector made the
rounds with the dairyman that tho
cause of the outbreak was located.
Several years ago health officials,
in their plea to the dairymen to use
glass bottles, pictured the large tin
milk cans alive with germs and az
great spreaders of disease.
"In Illinois at least, this idea has
changed and now we find a much
greater menace In the glass milk
bottles than we do in the cans
Asked what the department had
done toward eliminating this ad-
mitted danger to the public health.
DR.. Drake declared the matter had
been presented to the dairy interests
of the state, but the suggestion that
they change to parrafin bottles,
which may be destroyed by the indi-
vidual consumers after the milk is
received, was not favorably received
Many of the diaries Of the country
have gone to great expense in in
stalling sterilization plants and pur.
chasing bottles and are loathe to give
up their present system regardless OF
the obvious danger to the public
health.
1t is probable no step wifi be taken
until after the war to induce them
to change the system, but Dr. Drake
that the dairies ultimately will be
forced to deliver their product In
destructible bottles.
