tenant Moore's letter is the fact that he says Borden Burr, the Birming ham attorney. went over the top with them in this action and they all ad mired his gameness. because he is in the Y. M. C. A. service, and had no weapons.
 The lieutenant also sent the encour- aging news that the Germans they had met were completely outclassed and outfought, both by the French and by the Americans.
 While Lieutenant Moore does not mention the place at which the Bir- mingham boys were wounded it was somewhere in the Marne salient. The 167th had been stationed with the French east of Rheims near Suippes, but when the big German offensive got under way they were swung around to the south and west and sent across the Marne when General Foch inaugurated the counter offen- sive which proved so disastrous to the Germans. 1t was here that the Rainbow division, which includes the 167th, made a name for itself which will go down in history.

 Yet, such is the case according to an article recently published and the facts were brought to light under the following circumstances:
 A number of well-known citizens who had met in the plumbing establishment of w. F. Kelly on Twentieth street south were discussing the great strides made in sanitation in recent years, and the wonderful results therefrom that had obtained both in military and civil life. During the discussion, the point was made that about the most essential part of modern dwelling was the bath room and sanitary arrangements and to this assertion MT. Kelly heartily agreed.
 During the further discussion, the matter of individual bath tubs came up, and then 1t was that Mir. Kelly, or Bill" as he is better known, made the assertions that begin this article He further stated that bathing had been prohibited by city ordinances, taxed by the legislature. and made un- lawful except on medical advice
 'fDo you mean what you say?" asked one of the party.
 Never was more serious in my life" responded Bill.
 Those were happy days--for tramps," said one.
 I'm from Missouri" murmured an- other
