Paris. - The American army In
France is the most sanitary In the
world. The discovery that the louise

that scables-the seven-years' itch or
Bible fame-and other skin diseases
are conspicuously reduced by cleanli-
ness led the army staff to take meas
ures to rid the Yankee soldiers or
these evils. II was decided that clean
underclothes and frequent baths would
make the Yank immune from many OF
the Ills common to the soldier In
France. General Pershing ordered that
his army be equipped with efficient IA
cilties to insure every man in the

Vranja, Serbia.--Here is story of
cold-blooded butchery perhaps without
equal even in this war. 1t is the tale

the Bulgarians extending over three
months to exterminate the national
spirit of Serbia by killing everyone in
the parts of the country they occupied

different sources and the information
and evidence establish Bulgarian guilt
beyond all doubt.
After installing Bulgarian mayors,
bishops, tax collectors and military
police the Bulgarians arrested In ev-
cry town and village all the men who
belonged to what may be called the
intellectual class. They chose parlia-
mentary deputies, judges, teachers,
lawyers. priests and employers of Ia
Dor, formed them into gangs and
marched them away.
5000 Sent to Slaughter.
Men numbering at least 5000 from
the towns and villages of the Vranja
region alone were taken In detach-
ments of about fifty at time to a
place which the Bulgarians chose as
their slaughter house, and there every
night one party after another from
December, 1915, to March, 1916, had
their threats cut or were stabbed to
death.
One village whose name the Bulga-
rians have made terrible is small
place called Surdulitza, 20 miles north
east Of Vranja, near the Bulgarian
frontier. l went there and saw the
bones, the graves and surviving rela-
tives of $500 victims of Bulgarian saw
agery who there met their end.
They were locked up In houses
which l saw, and then at night
marched down a gully tied four or five
together with ropes, they were stabbed
or bayoneted to death and buried
where they lay by local gypsies col
lected for the work by the Bulgarians.
Graves of hundreds of them were
