A party of thirty-five Gal-

“I am no longer able to give an or-

said one officer. “I cannot help weigh-

eventuality and many imaginary con-
sequences. I always foresee the worst
possible issue to every movement—am
paralyzed by the anxiety, to do the
right thing, and have become nothing
but indecision and contradiction.”
MAN WAS HAUNTED.
A man who rose from the ranks to
the grade of captain was haunted by
the thought that he was unequal to
his responsibilities and pleaded to be
retrograded.
Among the cases of this kind was a
man who reproached himself for hav-
ing revealed important military secrets
and who was haunted by the prospect
i of being court-martialed for treason.

represented in the statistics. Of 185
cases, 110 were sent to the rear as
being permanently inapt for further
armed service and 55 who presented
symptoms of delirium were interned.
Several of these, Dr. Dumas says, owe
their mental condition to fatigues and
commotions of war and all of them de-
rive the themes of their delirium from
their experiences at the front. There
are among them, Messiahs come to an-
nounce , the final victory, messengers
designated by Joan of Arc to show the

ALCOHOLICS DECREASE.
Alcoholics were numerous in the
first month of the war among the de-
ranged soldiers, but have since been
remarkably few.. In August, 1914, 131
cases were brought to Val de Grace, of
which 31 were suffering from alcohol-
ism; in another hospital there were

Horror, inspired by battle scenes,
sometimes works directly on the nerv-
ous system, developing ' symptoms such
as hysteria, speechlessness, deafness,
loss of, the sense of feeling, fits of men-
tal confusion or paralysis, pot always
accompanied by hallucinations or de-
lirium.
Optimism of the most exaggerated
type is the dominating note in the
hallucinations of the paralytics, and Dr.
Dumas considers it a wonder that of-
ficers do not in fits of exaltation give
absurd heroic orders. that lead to dis-
asters. "
Ip one case, a lieutenant who declared
to the doctor that he had “cleaned out
,a German trench with two macnine
guns that he had carried on his back
from a point several miles in the rear”
had remained in command of his sec-
tion until 48 hours before he was ex-
amined. A few days later a captain
was brought to Dr. Dumas, fresh from
the command of his company, suffering
.from- an equally radical fit of "exagger-
atedoptimism."
Dr. Dumas reports 17 cases of what
he calls "reasoning madness” in which
the fatigues and commotions of war
have had no influence, but in which
hallucinations previously existing were
applied to the war. An artilleryman
who, before the war, imagined that he
was charged with the defense of the
radical and socialist members of par-
liament against what he considered
the calumnies of the royalists and na-
tionalists of the “right” was brought
to a hospital suffering from a tumor.
He immediately divided the nurses of
the hospital into two parties, the Left
and the Right, and would have nothing
to do with the latter while he began
to fall in love with one after another
of the nurses of the Left.

Cincinnati, July 18.—After a short
business session today in which the
report of the committee of constitu-
tion was received, the convention of the
International Rotary clubs, in session
here, entered into a general discus-
sion on "honorary members in rotary”
and "rotary in the smaller cities.”
The fight for the next convention has
grown lively between Kansas City, At-
lanta and Salt Lake City, while Chat-
tanooga is asking for the 1918 meet-
ing. The selection of the next con-
■ vention city will be made Friday;
in the rotary golf tournament, Vic-
tor H. Smith of Atlanta, won the prize
for the lowest individual score with
‘.82. The four lowest scores qualified
the following cities to participate in
the semifinals this afternoon: Spring-
field. Ohio, 172; Atlanta, 177; Memphis,
177; Cincinnati, 183.

Paris, July 18.—The war has not
driven mad so many persons as was
anticipated in the early stages. Sta-
tistics thus far show that the first re-
ports of men going crazy under the
infernal fire of modern artillery were
exaggerated.
Dr. G. Dumas, who has treated all the
cases of mental trouble in one of the
French armies, says that his data, cov-
ering the first ten months in 1915,
agrees with the reports of German doc-
tors concerning madness among com-
batants.
He finds the cases of insanity caused
directly or indirectly by the war in
France are quite as few in proportion
as those in Germany and .offers the
figures as a refutation of the theory of
German specialists that the Teutonic
race is showing greater nervous re-
sistance than the Latin.
Dr. Dumas’ report covers 1,188 cases
of derangement, of which only 3% per
cent were cases of general paralysis,
while in most asylums in time of peace
the portion is 15 per cent. This he
takes as conclusive evidence that the
fatigues and commotions of war have
no influence upon the development of
this form of insanity.
General paralytics, however, when
they become delirious, rave about the
war, the same as cases in which the
symptoms are quite different, and Dr.,
Dumas concludes that the life of the

Mitchell, S. D., July 18.—Officers of
the Antisaloon league of America
have taken steps to hold a wide tem-
perance congress at the same time ana
place as the comnference which will
settle terms of peace after the present
war in Europe, said R. N. Holsapte,
superintendent of the South Dakota
league who has returned from Indi-
anapolis where he attended the national
convention of the organization. He
said that the plan was not Utopian,
but was based on the action of'Various
governments not at war in suppressing
the sale of liquor.
Holsapte said the time and place of
holding the congress will depend upon
the date of the peace conference, but
the officers of the league believe and
hope it will be in some city in Ameri-
ca, perhaps in Washington or New
York.

38 out of 65. Of these 69 cases 18 had
delirium tremens and 11 of them died.
They were all confirmed drinkers who
had exaggerated their propensities dur-
ing the exciting days of the mobiliza-
tion.
The number diminished rapidly after
the first month, not a single case of
alcoholism being reported during Sep-
tember from one of the' most fortified
places and only 162 developing in an
entire army during the first ten months
of last year. All of the 162 were re-
servists and in so far as their history
could be learned were old drinkers.
Nearly all of them resumed their serv-
ice after taking the milk cure.
The tendency of the alcoholics was
to dream of battle and to see Germans
everywhere. One of them took a de-
tachment of his comrades for the en-
emy and charged them with fixed bayo-
net.
The proportion of cases of mental
depression among the 1,188 was large.
There were 224 in ten months—mostly
officers with besetting notions of pro-
fessional shortcomings and difficulties.
The majority of these men realized
Heed the Warning
If You Have a Cough!
The deep-seated cough that does not
yield to ordinary treatment may lead
to distressing pulmonary troubles.
Or it may bring on a chronic bron-
chial affection. Many persons now in-
capacitated might have avoided such
disastrous results by timely care and
efficient medical treatment.
Among the latter Eckman’s Altera.-
tive has an enviable record. It is a
lime-bearing preparation which is
easily assimilated in most instances.
Where used in connection with nour-
.1.915, and January, 1916, of ■ mental
troubles considered directly due to hor-
ror of battle scenes and commotion
produced by bombardments.
A considerable number of the men-
tally debilitated have the mania of
invention. Dr. Dumas is of the opin-
ion that the number of these cases out-
side the army would be found greater
in proportion if the minister of muni-
tions could make public the corre-
spondence he receives from civilians.
Among the debilitated were several
men and officers who didn’t know
where and for whom they had been
fighting; One declared that he was
unaware that France was at war.

Sick Headache.
This disease is nearly always caused
by a disordered stomach. Correct that
and the attack of sick headache may
be avoided. Mrs. A. L. Luckie, East
Rochester, N. Y., writes: “I was a vic-
tim of sick headache, caused by a badly
disordered stomach when I began tak-
ing Chamberlain’s Tablets three years
ago. In a few weeks’ time I was re-
stored to my former good health.” Ob-
tainable everywhere.
are also thriving and the grapefruit
trees are laden with fruit. "Good cul-
tivation is the secret of success on the
mainland,” said Mr. Naschke. "Here
we have good soil and good drainage
and if the ground is properly cultivat-
ed the results are satisfactory.”
From the Naschke place the party
journeyed to the country home of H.
H. Haines and Paul Lobit at Dickin-
son. A barbecued dinner consisting of
veal, mutton and chicken with neces-
sary accompaniments was served at the
Lobit place. The table was set on the
banks of Dickinson bayou. This fea-
ture proved particularly enjoyable.
During the latter part of the dinner
and thereafter for several minutes
music was furnished by the M. Paul
Jones orchestra of Houston. This was
a guitar, mandolin and ukulele orches-
tra and provided high-class entertain-
ment. Mr. Jones is one of the best-
known directors of this class of or-
chestra in the South and during last
year had charge of clubs at the Rice
institute and at the A. and M. college.
The numbers on the program included
the following:

From the Lobit home the party jour-
neyed to the Dickinson picnic grounds
and there was dancing at the pavilion
until 10 o’clock. The fact that it was
a bit warm for dancing proved no de-
terrent and nearly everybody danced.
A number of the young; folks of Dick-
inson joined the party at the Lobit
home and participated in the festivi-
ties at the picnic grounds.
The committee in charge of last
night’s affair was composed of H. H.
Haines, Paul H. Naschke, Frank J.
Becker, W. C. Morris and Paul Lobit.
They were given invaluable assistance
in entertaining the guests by Mrs.
Haines, Mrs. Naschke, Mrs. Becker and
Mrs. Lobit.
