GOLSPIE CLAIMS
TO BE BRAvEST VILLAGE OF
THE BRITISH EMPIRE

London, March IL. The quaint lit
tie village of Golspie in Sutherland
shire is pressing its claims upon the
British people for the distinction of
being the "bravest village in the EN-
pire," because in proportion to its
population it received more military
honors than any other community.
The village sent one-fourth Of its
I050 inhabitants into the military and
naval service, and of this number 80
were decorated for some form of
conspicuous gallantry" or devotion
to duty" Among them we're two
members of the family Of the Duke
of Sutherlands whose ducal home,
Dunrobin Castle is near the village.

HARD TO OBTAIN A
BATH In RUSSIA
(By Associated Press.)

Archangel. March 10.-The soldier
of the American North Russian ex-
pedition misses the American bath
tub and its simplicity and frequency
He is annoyed at the ceremony and
difficulty one must undergo to OBJ
tain a Russian bath. Only in the
homes Of the wealthy, in the cities
and rarely. il ever, in the villages, is
1t possible to find bath tub or o
shower.
The Russian bath is a steam bath
is a steam bath in an alright room
where water Is thrown on a stove
to make steam. The bather then dous-
es himself literally with buckets OF
water after perspiring
Some of the Americans, fortunate
enough to be in permanent billits or
barracks built by the engineers, have
their own modern shower baths. but
those in the villages patronize the
Russian institution.
In Archangel there are two bath
houses, each having accommodations
for a hundred or so customers in the
steam room. but there are only two
private rooms with tubs and showers
in the bath houses and these are
booked for days in advance by Off
GERS and soldiers.
One of these private rooms is real
ly a suite, as elaborate as IL it were
intended to accommodate a guest for
week, instead of for the brief pc
riod Of a bath.
