LIQUOR AND HUNGER
These Two Contribute Largely to
Appalling Increase of Lunatics.
Germany and England Alarmed Over Re-
cent Statistics which show That Luna
cy L. Growing Out of All Proper
.ion to Population.

London, Aug. 4.-England has been
staggered by the appalling increase Of
insanity reported by the lunacy COM
mission. Under so years of age there
are about $4,000 lunatics in England
and Wales to-day. In 1859 the pro-
portion Of lunatics to the population
was in 536. To-day It is one in 293.
The increase in lunacy since 1894 is
extraordinary. How far war Is respon-
sible for the appalling increase is un-
known. Students seeking to explain
the cause of the icnrease find drink ac-
counts for about quarter of the total
cases among the men and about 10 per
cent. among the women. Physical
rather than direct mental cause Is re-
sponsible for the great increase of in
sanity. Thirty-three per cent. of the
cases are attributable to disease. The
chief increase is found among the pau
per classes, whose lack of nourishment
causes tendency to disease and weak
ems the mind. The increase Of lunacy
among the well-to-do classes Is dis
proportionately larger than in 1859.
In Germany the enormous increase
of insanity is arousing attention. Ber-
lin alone has $500 lunatics. Insanity is
increasing faster than the population.
German alienists declare that intem-
perance Is the most prolific cause Of in
sanity. 1t is stated that rs per cent.
of all cases of mental disorders treated
in the state asylums are due to excess
sive beer and whisky drinking.

BRUTAL TO UNUSUAL DEGREE.
German Military Officer Convicted of 500
Instances of Maltreatment of
Private Soldiers.

Berlin, Aug. 5.-The details ara
published of a court-martial held at
Metz on a non-commissioned officer
named Dunkel for maltreatng private
soldiers at Moerchingen, Lorraine.
Five hundred and twenty-six instances
of brutality, all occurring since last
December were cited. The evidence
showed Dunkel's fertile inventiveness
in novel methods of punishment, such
as compelling a soldier to run at full
tilt across room and ram his head
against a wardrobe. The court de-
cided that 366 counts Of the indictment
had been proved and sentenced Dunkel
to 21h years Imprisonment and degra-
dation from the ranks. The scandal
became known to the military au-
thorities through the suicide of one
of the maltreated men.

Same Old Trick.

The bituminous coal operators at the
west have decided to add so cents a
ton to the price Of coal to consumers
to cover the small increase of wages
granted by them to the miners. This
is the same old trick that was played
by the anthracite coal operators in
1900, when, to cover a 10 per cent. adj
vance in wages, they added 80 cents a
ton to the retail price and thus netted
O clear profit of about 80 cents per ton.
