DRAWS CLEAR line
ON SANITY PROBLEM
World Defines Insanity More
Closely Questioning All
Weak Intellects.

In commenting on the United
States bureau of statistics report
made by DR.. Joseph A. Hill of Balti-
more. DR.. s. Z. Smith. superintendent
of Easthaven said today that several
elements enter into the reported in
crease in the number of insane per-
sons which are seldom mentioned.
'Dr. Hills statement that 'keener
competition and the vice and dissipa-
tion Of city life are the causes of
much insanity, is true to some extent,
DR.. Smith said. But it must be noted
that there is very little difference in
the number of insane from rural and
urban communities. This indicates
that the same vice and disease exist
in rural life as in city life.
"In figuring that the number Of in
sane has increased twenty-five per
cent while the entire population Of the
country increased twelve percent, we
take into consideration the fact that
insane persons live longer than they
used to because of the better condi-
tions under which they live and the
fact that many more Of them are sent
to institutions now than there were a
few years ago. People are declared in
sane now who would not have been
questioned twenty-five years ago. The
line between sane and insane is be-
coming more clearly defined"

London. Oct. 14.-fBy mail TO New
York; While the civic authorities OF
the captured Belgian towns have. al
most without exception, behaved ad
miraoly during the German occupation.
there is one man who deserves all the
best a grateful country can do for him,
and that is Adolphe Max, chief burgo-
master of Brussels. who in sticking to
his post, maintaining order and ensur-
ing protection of his fellows citizens.
has displayed wonderful courage and
resource.
Scarcely known outside his own city.
and certainly quite unknown outside
Belgium, Bugomaster Max hiss made
himself famous throughout the world
in less than two months. and while
not openly putting obstacles in the
Germans way. he has stood out
against oppression so stoutly that it
is well known that the Germans would
be only too glad OF an opportunity to
shoot him.

told the German commander bluntly:
''If you want me to retain the job and
keep order | am going to be real
mayor" and as he has loyalty adhered
to the terms under which Brussels
surrendered, the Germans have been
compelled to let him alone for very
shame's sake.

governor of Brussels seated at his
desk. The German took no notice of
him and evidently proposed keeping
him standing at the door like an ordin-
airy prisoner, but Max wasn't used to
being treated that way. He pulled up
a chair and made himself comfortable
beside the intruder.
A few days later the Germans issued
a proclamation stating that as the Bel
gian government had fled, finding it,
self unable to govern the country. Ger
many would CONSIDERABLY take over
the job Max promptly had placards
printed describing as absolute lies the
statements contained in the proclama-
tion, and he had the placards pasted
up alongside. This brought down on
him a peremptory notice that no post
ers must be displayed without the
sanction Of the German commander,
who proceeded to warn the burgomas
ter that repetition of such an offense
would be sternly dealt with.
No whit dismayed. when ordered to

an addition of his own. Let us ac-
cept temporarily the sacrifice imposed
upon us; let US haul down our flags
TO avoid conflict, and let us wait pa

This drove the German governor in
to a furious temper and that evening
Max received note saying: THE
German government alone has the
right to issue notices. You have acted
in violation of this right Such thing
4 is intolerable. This is the second time
YOU have thus offended and last
warning is now given to you not TO

ing. Addressing an enthusiastic crowd
he said:
II am forbidden to post circulars on
the walls, and | do not possess any
newspapers by which to let you know
the good news that ! have received.
But ! cannot be prevented from talk
ing and will use that means to inform
you every day OF the situation and pre-

mans affecting your spirit"
The brave burgomaster then detail
cd the defeats in the field sustained by
the Germans and Austrians, and added,
Let every one Of you go into the town
and inform your friends and families
Of the good news
After he had repeated this action
several times Max was arrested, and
held deportation, but even the German
commanders could not but admire his
courage
