WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
; FRANCE. Oct., (Col respor.dcn.»
of The Associated Press)— When a
soldier comes out of buttle the things
ho longs for are a piping hot meal,, a
shave, a bath, a change of clothing
; and a real bed. During the July and
August offensive when the Germans
were driven across the Marne to the
Yesle and with the Americans on the
move northward day and night it was
no easy matter to provide the soldiers
with these essentials but day after
day the task was accomplished and in
many instances the water for bathing
| purposes was hot.
Further improvements of the sys
tem of providing baths for the men on
the very edge of the battle!’routs is
\; contemplated. American officers say
;{ that the day is not far away when the
• j rolling shower hath appratus will be
:.j as common a sight along the roads
back of the lines as are the rolling
kitchens today.
One of the divisions engaged in the
; recent fighting used forty-eight show
ers heads and also a disinfector in
j which battle soiled clothing was ster-j
(lized.
“Kven with this meagre equipment j
we have been able to keep the fight- ;
i mg men in good condition," an offic
er reported. "At the bathing centre wo
can bathe 1.200 to 1,500 men each da\
During the offensive we averaged 1,
027 men per day. As they were reliev- •
i*d from the line they were either
j marched to bathe or transported in |
camions, and every man was given a
j good, hot bath and change of clothing, i
■j in four days .”>,642 men and 1 *47 of
’ t’icers passed through the baths.
• “The effect of the baths on the men |
| was wonderful. They came from the ,
front lines worn out dirty, clothing
torn, and left the baths splendidly j
• bucked up, physically and mentally.
I As mo.st of these men had to go hack
| into the line a few days after coming
out, one can appreciate the value of a j
bath and change of clothing.
“li was exceedingly gratifying to
feel that we did not necessarily cease
to work while the division was in act
ion. at a time when it was very im
' portant that the men coming back
should have the effect of a bath and
clean clothing.”
The medical officer’s report sets
forth that efforts are under way to
, arrange for transportation of the bath
• -ing equipment ‘‘so as to continue the
bathing program whenever the divi
sion moves to a new area.’’
In many instances the soldiers’
! rest camps are located along streams
and when this is the case the men are
1 taken in detachments of several hun
dreds at a time for a real summer
swim and allowed to remain in the
water ns long as they like. Hut up
front, when baths are being provided
within sound of the big guns, each
j man is only allowed so many minutes
in the water and he comes out looking
forward to getting back to civilization
and contemplating spending an hour
or so in a nice big tub.
