American Army the Most Sani-
tary in the World.
Hot Baths and Clean Underwear Rid
Them of Ills Common to
Soldier.

Paris. - The American army In
France is the most sanitary in the
world. The discovery that the louise
was the carrier of trench fever and
that scabies-the seven-years' itch OF
Bible fame-and other skin diseases
are conspicuously reduced by cleann-
ness led the army staff to take meas
ures to rid the Yankee soldiers OF
these evils. 1t 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
cilities to insure every man in the
army change of clothing and a bath
at least once, and, if necessary, twice
week.
The soldiers, as they return from
active duty, are received in squads.
They disrobe and turn in their cloth
ing. Then they spend half minute
under a hot shower, half minute I'M
der cold one, two minutes soaping
their bodies and then another half a
minute under a warm shower for rims
ing. They emerge to receive clean I'M
derwear, sox and shirt and, If neces-
sary, clean uniform. The whole
process takes 31s minutes plus time
for dressing and undressing.
The underwear the men leave when
entering goes to the laundry wagons.
/ 1t goes through the washing and ster-
ilizing process and is issued again, a
day or two later. to other troops.
Lice, known as "cooties" in the sol
dier's vocabulary. have been common
to all armies in the war. but serious
efforts to exterminate them were not
made until they were found to be germ

speaker,s ofIce Important.

The office of the speaker of the
house of representatives is of great
importance on account of the power
of the speaker in shaping and con-
trolling legislation. which is now much
less than formerly. His influence on
national legislation was believed by
many even to. exceed that exerted by
the president. 1t carries with 1t so
much political prestige and influence
that it is generally regarded as a
stepping stone to the presidency, but
up to the present time only one
speaker has been elected president,
viz, James X. Polk of Tennessee.
Henry Clay, three times elected speak
er, was a lifelong aspirant for the
presidency but did not attain 1t.
James G. Blaine, speaker from 1869
to 1875. was nominated and defeated
for president in 1884.

Roasted over Slow Fires.
Last year at Yelashnitsa and Kri-
vafaja innocent peasants were stripped
naked, tied down to braziers and
roasted over slow fires to make them
confess that they possessed hidden
arms.
Leblanc and Lesokvaty probably were
the worst martyred towns of all. Ae

en- literally to death.
What is to be done to punish this
cynicalIy planned and brutally exc
cuted policy Of murder? The names
of the Bulgarian officers directly re-
sponsible for these butcheries are
known. The peasants of Yranja and
Surdulitza utter them with the same
dread as that with which men of the.
English west country must have spo-
ken of Judge Jeffreys after the bloody
assizes.

He Is said to have spared no ef~

lifeboats.
He was assisting at ore of the small (

the ship. Mr.. Cone was thrown down.
When he attempted to rise he found /
himself disabled. Both his legs had
been broken by the shock.
Then he rolled himself TO the edge /

In the Chicago Tribune.

Vranja, Serbia Here is a stOry of
eoId-blooded butchery perhaps without
equal even in this war. 1t is the tale
Of deliberate, systematic effort by
the Bulgarians extending over three
months to exterminate the national
spirit of Serbia by killing everyone in
the parts of the country they occupied
whom they thought capable of main
tanning it.
l have gathered the facts from many
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 la
Dor, formed them into gangs and
marched them away.
