No Bomb-Proof Jobs.

No one knows better than the four
stripers of the 1st Division that the
quartermaster officers and men at the
front are far from having a bomb
proof Job. Indeed. the first three
quartermaster officers killed in France
were the division Quartermaster OF
the 1st Division and two of his as
sistants, Col. Bertram T. Clayton. di-
vision quartermaster; Capt. Harry A.
Bullock and Capt. Rufus F. Montgal.
They were killed May 20, 1918. in the
little town of Noyers-St. Martin, when
the boche was making one of his
nightly air raids with which he was
then constantly harassing the di-
vision. Col. Clayton was the first
colonel in the A. L. F. to be killed
in action.

Laundry Mounted on Trucks.

One of the features of the parade
was the mobile field laundry of Unit
ia. This included al the mechanical
washing and ironing devices of the
most up-to date American steam laun-
dry, but the machines were mounted
on small fleet of trucks and can be
moved wherever the division moves
along the battle line.
The official pragram of the parade
listed &c and b Unit 319- and ''B and
D Units is and %" as organizations
of the 1st Division which will take
part in the victory procession. Few
of the uninitiated bystanders knew
what these cabalistic names meant,
but every doughboy knows. They
mean Clothing and Bath Units and
Bathing and Delousing Units. Since
the A. E. F. turned the toes of it's hob
nails toward home. the American peo-
pie have been RECALLED with wide
"Cootie." alias "Gray Back" seam
Squirrel" and other names not fit
to print.
Back home. where one has porcelain
bathtubs, running water, sidewalks to
walk upon and nice clean clothes, the
cootie becomes the subject of jokes,
but he was no joke to the men at
the front The body louise. for that is
the cootie's real name, was not only
a source of irritation to the soldier,
but because of his ability as car
rier of disease germs. he was real
fighting forces. Therefore. G. II. Q.
decided that the cootie must be abol-
ished and assigned the job to the
Quartermaster Corps.
War Within War.
To carry on the campaign against
the cooties, a war within war, the
chief Quartermaster, A. E. F., Maj.
Gen. H. L. Rogers, now quartermaster
general of the Army, organized bath
ing and delousing units with all the
combat divisions and in the rear areas.
Here men fresh from the front lines
and infested with vermin, as troops
at the front nearly always were, were
put through the disinfecting process.
The apparatus consists first of all
of shower baths. Since running water
was, = course, not available at the
front, shower baths were improvised
by means of galvanized iron cans
with holes punched in the bottom. or
in other ways. The water supply was
mounted on trucks, the water itself
coming from streams beside which
the plants always were located at the
front When the men took Off their
clothes to go under the showers the
clothes were put through a launder-
ing and disinfecting process. When
the men came out OF the showers. they
were given medical treatment II nee
essary, and then received clean dis
infected clothes.
The mobile veterinary unit in the
parade operated a travelling hospital
for the horses and mules of the LIST
Division which were disabled in ac-
tion. During operations the Veter-
mary Corps with its various animal
hospitals was attached to the Quar-

CALL BEER SOLD ON
SUNDAY SOFT DRINK

BALTIMORE, July s.-National pro
bibit,on brought about last Sunday in
Baltimore an evasion OF liquor laws
that was more open and above board,
vet less productive Of disciplinary
measures than almost any violation
in the history Of the State. 1t con-
sisted of the selling of beer on Sun
day. not alone by saloonkeepers but
by merchants who were not licensed
TO sell beer. drug stores and groceries.
OF course, it is all due to misunder-
standings Of the wartime prohibition
law. Dealers in drinks choose to re-
gard the 2.75 beer, now that "prohibi-
ton" has gone into effect, as a soft
drink" There is no law against sell
ing soft drinks" on any day. The
liouor license board cannot prosecute
drug store or grocery proprietors be-
cause such merchants require no IL
censes from the liquor board and are
outside its jurisdiction.
The Antisaloon League regards the
-. rs" beer as real beer and as an in
toxicant, and will not be satisfied I'M
til the alcohol percentage Is reduced
60 One-nalL OF one PSf cent " "SlBHG
Out of all the discussion that de-
veloped today over the spectacle Of
Sunday beer selling in Baltimore, It
was clear to United States District At
torneyO Samuel K. Dennis that any
body who sold drinks containing more
than one-half of one per cent Of alco-
hOl came within the purview Of the
internal revenue laws and was subject
TO a fine of at least 500 and thirty
days in Jail unless he paid the special
Federal tax
The old laws prohibiting the open
ing OF saloons on Sunday still are in
effect, and while that gives the Balti-
more police department the right to
arrest saloonkeepers who keep their
places open on that day, even to sell
near-beer. 1t does not give them the
right to arrest grocers and druggists.
