NEuRAsrHENIA oE WAR.

Previous to the outbreak of the
present conflict of nations in Europe
it was commonly believed that war
had been robbed by science of many
of its earlier terrors. What with anti
septic surgery, improved hospital
facilities and sanitary appliances, it
was confidently supposed that the
salvage of life would offset much of
its waste on the battlefield. That con-
fidence, it seems, took no account of
the various forms Of nervous shock
and nervous disorders occasioned by
the new methods of warfare, including
trench-fghting and the use of high ex-
plosive shells, gas bombs, etc. The
pathological study of these subtler
consequences by Professor Osler is
painfully disillusioning as to the 'hu-
manity" of modern warfare. While
surgical science has reduced the risk
of death to combatants suffering from
physical wounds, military science has
introduced the new risk of nervous col
lapse due to the deafening detonations
of shells. From the strain and stress
of trench-fghting results temporary
paralysis, the victim often suffering "a
psychic knockout" which leaves him
speechless and in stupor His gait
Us affected and horrible nightmares
afflict him, says New York World. Vic
tins Of gas poisoning die lingering
death from suffocation. Nervous
shock does not necessarily kill. But
bearing in mind its frequent effect of
impairing the nervous system perma-
nently, it is obvious that the new war.

At Queen Mary's suggestion an at
tempt is to be made to find out who
painted the portrait of Mary Queen OF
Scots, which has been hanging for a
century in the Bodleian gallery at Ok
ford university, among other pictures
of the Stuart rulers of Britain. 1t
shows a stricken, sad-eyed woman
quite unlike the picture as it was
when presented to the Bodleian. At
first the portrait exhibited happy,
smiling features of the Scottish
queen. When Sir David Wilkie, a
famous painter, examined the picture
he discovered that it was painted over
another-that which is now on view
1t was at his suggestion that the
surface portrait was carefully copied
and then washed off, so as to reveal
the haunting face beneath. Historical
research never has solved the mystery
of the double picture. 1t is regarded
as a work of art.

According to figures given by DR..
George M. Kober of Washington,
president of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis, at the annual meeting at
Seattle, tuberculosis in all it's forms
carried off during the year 1918 over
143,00O victims in the United States,
which signifies the presence of ap.
proximately 100000 consumptives
with an economic loss of at least $214,-
100000 per annum. AS appalling as
is this showing, there is encourage
ment in the statement that the death
rate from this disease has been re.
duced from 326 per 100000 population
in 1880 to 1865 in 1918. Perhaps if
the figures were available for 1914, the
death rate would show a still further
reduction.

America and other musical journals ac- cord him high praise. The above men- toned magazine in a recently published number had this comment:
 '.The musical sketch entitled, Irish Love- written and arranged by Cecil Tanning, Americas prominent young baritone. and H. B. Turpin, his accom- panist, won another brilliant success when 1t was given at the Country club in Dayton, O., on Monday evening, May IS. This clever bit of work Is charm ing in it's simpleness and beauty or oe- sign, and a more desirable medium for displaying genuine Irish mirth and plain- tiveness in a refined manner, as told in the old original melodies, could hardly be desired. Here again convincing proof is given of the remarkable versatility of this young song artist and his accom- panist.
 Tanning. as Michael Casey. proved as great source of enjoyment in his ever he undertakes to do. His rich voice adapts itself readily to the old Irish 'classics,' if such they may be termsd. and that ever pleasing interpretative ability and personality which is so indi- vidual in his case, gives now life and beauty to the well known airs included in the plot of the play. The keen in- tel1eot and naturalness coupled with an abundance of unique talent, which Fan ming embodies in his art, is fast bring ing this young American into g. position to be envied by many In the vocal world.

And these will con- tinue undoubtedly throughout the 40 days.
 It is a noteworthy fact that among the many sessions of friends who meet in happy idleness, for the favored card game there are springing up all about us the little clubs having their origin in desire to know more of the domes- and the like. There are a number of such little groups among the young girls, and it is not alone in the finer pursuits of embroidery and lace work, but in the practical and housewifely matters of sewing a fine seam," or maybe in the noble and necessary art of cooking that some of Brmingham's society girls are exceling.

GERMANY MAY ASK THAT WAR
 CALLED DRAW

St. Louis, Aug 13-A special dis patch from Berne, Switzerland, to the St. Louis Republic rom its special correspondent says Germany will ask that the war be called draw and peace be arranged on that basis with in the next six months. He says the determination on the part of official Germany is contingent upon her be- ing able to defeat the French and Brit ish army in France as she has just defeated Che Russian army
 The dispatch says
 Germany will 80 broke if peace does not come within the next year. Germany's rulers know this. and will accept peace with honor. But Ger many Is perfectly willing to so broke unless aho can obtain the draw war her rulers want now and her people will soon be willing to accept
 It is safe prediction that Ger many if she does not crushingly de- feat the Allies of the West and this is unlikely, will within six months be willing to eyacuate France, Belgium and Russia withdraw within her own borders and accept peace practically on the basis of Che status quo ente. Peace then within the year, depends on the willingness of the Allies to accept the coming terms of the Ger. mans to call it draw.

BASLE Switzerland, Aug 13.-That France will be ready for peace before the present year is over and will not make as drastic demands as she once expected 10 make Is the conviction of American newspaper men in Switzer. land It is conceded thas the war is hitting the French people hard. They are suffering more than those of either Great Britain or Germany. Only in Austria, Poland and Belgium arc conditions as hard on the aver age man as in France, and the French officials know this.
 France will never talk peace untn the German army is driven out of the country, but that is expected to be the result of the fall campaign. When that is done however, much the French might desire to get back all of Alsace and Lorraine and will rather give mp Metz and the Eastern parts of her old provinces than Co at- tempt the lmpracticable task of at- tempting to defeat Germany with an invading army She will want peace worse than she will want Msace and Lorraine
 This estimate. according to an American journalist is based upon conversations with French officials as nowledge of conditions in France.

 The American journalist referred to, and he quotes other American newspaper men, expects that the over lures for peace win come from Ger many. and he expects them to come before the German army shall have been defeated in Fance, which, is is believed would be the inevitable out come of an active campaign iu the West The conviction here is that will be the worst sufferer when peace terms shall have been ar. ranged.
