RURAL AND URBAN INSANITY,

There has been popular impres.
sion that the lonely isolation Of coun-
try life Is an important cause of in
sanity. The statistics, however, indi-
cate that more insanity is caused by
the stress and strain, the kcener COM
petition. the congested housing con-
ditions, and the vice and dissipation
Of city life. In proportion to popula-
tion the number of inmates of hos
pitals for the insane received from
urban communities is twice as great
as the number received from rural dis
tricts. or the 60,769 persons admit
ted to insane hospitals in 1910. &c.
654 came from cities. villages. or 9TH
er incorporated places of more than
$500 inhabitants, while 2O,442 came
from the smaller towns or country
districts leaving 1913 for whom the
place of residence was not reported.
or more significance. however, are
the statistics showing the number of
admissions in proportion to the total
population of each class of commune
ties. from rural communities Al in
sane persons were admitted per 1O0,-
600 population: from the urban COM
munitics the ratio was Sc per 100, 900.
These figures cover the entire United
States, but there is a similar differ
ence in all sections OF the country.
Everywhere the ratio OF admission is
higher, and usually much higher, from
urban than from rural communities,
although the contrast is rather less
striking in New England than IN 9TH
er geographic divisions. 1t seems
probable, therefore. that the increase
In the proportion OF total population
living In cities has resulted in an in
crease OF insanity.

THE GERMAN NAVAL RAID

ne German guns which threw
shells into the northern English coast
facing on the North sea were the first
hostile guns that had ever been
heard in those localities. 1t is CEN

English shores, and not since the time

Scotland. The Dutch, under Won
Tromp and De Ruyter at one time
sailed the North sea with brooms tied
to their mastheads. to signify the
manner in which they had swept the
seas and made n foray up the Thames
nncomfortably close to London. But
we do not recall that even these
doughty admirals bombarded the
northern towns.
The first dispatches telling of the
raid Of Wednesday indicated the pos
sibility of a general German naval
movement. which, had it occurred.
might easily have led to a sea en-
gagement that would be really de-
cistvc. Nothing of this sort, however,
appears to have occurred. So far as
the world has any news Of it, the main

authorities for an important move

which made a dash across the sea,
fired few shells, and made their es-
cape In the fog.
The effect Of this was naturally dis
turbing to the cities attacked, and to
all the cities along the coast. This
thing has been done once, and it NAV
be done again. And the same cities
or any other cities may be chosen as
points of attack.
OF course the military effect of the
raid is nil. The shattering of a few
buildings, or even the destruction ri
few cities along the coast, would
have no influence on the ultimate re.
suit Of the war. The invasion of Eng.
land would be military coup Of some

He estimated the present annual
production of gasoline in America to
be twenty-five million barrels of for
ty-two gallons each and that II is
behind the demand made on il by

ing the second trial of Lieut.. Chas.

lower courts of having plotted the
murder of Herman Rosenthal to pre-
vent him from making graft reve-
lations to District Attorney Whit
man. The Court of Appeals, in re-
versing the decision of Becker, de-
clared itself unconvinced that he
had directed the murder, but upheld
the judgment of the lower court
that the four gunner had been the
instruments. Motions for a new
trial, on the ground of new evi,
dence, made by their attorneys,
were denied, and they we're sentenc-

guilt of the gunner who had been

Were Adjourned.
MATTER WILL REST AWHILE
Not Wage Scale, But Working
Conditions the Alleged
Contention.
STRIKE SEEMS NOT PROBABLE

Louisville, KY, April 11.-Repre-
sentatives of the coal miners and OPP
orators i'm the Western Kentucky
district, No. 23, who. have been in
conference here for nearly two
weeks, adjourned their sessions to-
day without reaching an agreement
1t is reported that representatives
of the miners and operators could
not agree regarding the changes in
working conditions, involving the
cost production.
The miners representatives will
discuss the matter further with the
miners themselves before action is
taken. Six thousand miners are
said to be involved in the negotia-
tiOns.
The difficulty, which finally APP
peared insurmountable, referred not
to the wage scale, but to the work
ing conditions. The mine operators
made their final proposal to the mi
ners last night and this morning
heard their reply. The miners were
not satisfied with the proposal and
declined to accept it.
The miners have not declared a
strike, but that is always a POSSIBLE
ity under the circumstances, al
though the mine operators say that
they do not believe that matters will
come to that pass.
Every two years the mine opera
tors and the representatives of the
miners meet to adjust the wage
scale and any other matters that
may have come up between them.
At nearly every meeting the long
discussion has been followed by a
ties have been adjusted.
The miners and mine operators
met for their conference at the al
dermen's chamber in the city hall a
week ago last Tuesday. They soon
moved their conference to a room at
the Seelbach hotel for greater pri-
vacy. Each side had proposal,
which it presented, and these were
gone over clause by clause. The
greatest hitch came in the clauses
concerning the conditions under
which the miners shall be required
to work
No further action can be taken in
the matter until the miners who
were at the conference have an OPP
portunity to discuss the matter with
the other miners.
