Bathtubs Scarce
In French Towns

PARIS, Jan. 31.--Bathrooms and bath
ing facilities are priceless luxury il.
many OF the small French towns where
American troops arc billeted. In con-
sequence, hundreds Of officers and men
are going without their customary
daily baths and some consider them
selves lucky if they can get one hot
bath week. Shower baths are being
installed In some places. but the de-
mand far exceeds the supply.
An artillery major was recently bill
leted in small town which did not
possess q single serviceable bathtub.
While supervising the transformation
OF barn into billet. he came across
q bathtub filled with potatoes. He
learned that it had been brought there
Just before the war by an Englishman,
who contemplated installing it in u
country home. The war interfered
with his plans and the tub was stored
II the barn. The owner Of the barn
converted 1t into storage bin.
After some persuasion the major
bought the tub and had it cleaned ana
set up in his billet. Running water
was an impossibility, but by heating a
1srge Kettle full each morning the
major has been able to obtain sufficient
hot water for his morning bath. When
the owner Of the barn learned that the
major was taking a bath each morning
he commented on the "funny ideas Of
those barbaric Americans" Other
American officers in the same town
have learned of the majors discovery
and the bathtub is now working on a
full-time war basis

Chancellor, Prince Chlodwig Hohen-
lohe-Schillingsfusrst, relative Of the
German Empress, and whom the Kaiser
used to call "Uncle Chlodwig," again
bitterly arraigns the war policy Of the
Berlin government in an article which
recently appeared in the "Freie Zei-
tung," Of Bernc. The most significant
passages Of the article are:
"Continuation OF the war is a crime,
for nothing can be gained any more
that could in any way compensate for
those things already lost.
"The only thing which can be at
tanned is a lasting peace, without SUBJ
sequent armament increases: peace
not with guarantees Of one nation
against the other, but with the guar
nntee of its permanence made by the
nations among themselves.
This is the peace which the peoples
Of all countries desire.
And because this desire for such q
peace by the peoples is founded upon
the only basis which will save Europe

people should be the determining in

"Only through a democracy can a

After discussion Of Austria, occurs
this sentence, directed at Berlin:
THE moment has come when the old
routine will serve no longer. Tho
people demand to be heard and will not
be satisfied until they can share in rul-
ing the country.
"Those parties, those statesmen, all.
no matter who, who are unable to com,
prehend this voice Of the people, or
who turn deaf ear to it, will vanish

Where Ground Ia Frozen Deep

The scientists have for years been
perplexed over the wonderful frozen
we'll at Yakutsk, Siberia. AS long ago
as 1898 it was announced that the
depth at the place referred to. In the
summer Of 1929 Russian merchant set
g gang of men to the task of ascer-
tanning the depth of the frozen stratum.
They gave up the job after digging
some thirty feet in solidly frozen
ground. The Russian Academy Of Sci
cnces took the matter in hand and be-
tween 1888 and 1914 dug to depth Of
382 feet and then abandoned the shaft
because the earth was still frozen as
hard as a rock. Natural cold could
never. penetrate to such depth, and
the phenomenon is still unexplainable.
