"The lower part of the statue was

The ColonePs Lady An Judy O'Grady.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
A simple thing happened on Long
Island last Saturday. which emphasiZ-
ed how much alike are the children Of
men. Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan unexpect-
edly met man advancing toward
them with two pistols in his hands.
Mrs. Morgan did what hundreds of
thousands Of other wives would have
done. She sprang between her hus-
band and his assailant. And Mr.. Nor
gan did what hundreds Of thousands
Of other husbands would have done.
He brushed aside his wife and rushed
straight for the pistols. And after he
had borne his aSSailant to the floor
and disarmed him, he got up quietly,
without disclosing that he had been
wounded, and himself sent for a physi-
clan. And little later, prOpped up in
bed, he did what hundreds of thous-
andS OF other sOns-English, German,
French or Japanese-might have done
Before the surgeons had told him
what the bleeding really meant, he in
sisted upon telephoning personally to
his mother to assure her that the
wounds were not serious.
We are all pretty much alike. We
pile on our own backs different kinds
OF burdens We cloud our own minds
with different kinds Of humors. But
when it comes to simple elemental
| thing like man staying behind on
the Titanic or woman nursing a sick
! baby, it stands out clearly to the
dullest that the points Of similarity
far outnumber the points Of differ
ence. Even the man with the mud

| little while his task Of reorganizine

| In this hour, when half the world
is locked in conflict, it is perhaps OF
some comfort to reflect that our like.
nesses are in the things that are real
| our differences in the things that are

THE NEURASTHE,NIA OF WAR.
New York World.

New York World.
Previous to the outbreak Of the pres
ent conflict of nations in Europe, it
was commonly believed that war had
been robbed by science Of many OF
it's earlier terrOrs. What with anti
septic surgery, improved hospital
facilities and sanitary appliances It
was confidently supposed that the s2'-
wage Of life would offset much OF tiS
waste on the battlefield. That cont
dence, it seems took no account OF the
various forms of nervous shock amt
nervous disorders occaSioned by me
new methods OF warfare, including
trench fighting and the use of high
explosive shells, gas bombs, etc Inc
pathological study Of these su0ller
consequences by Prof. Osler is pam
fully disillusioning as to the humans
ity'' of modern warfare.
While surgical science has reduced
the risk Of death to combatants sui
fering from physical wounds, military
science has introduced the new TISk
of nervous COLLAPSE due to the deater-
ing detonations of shells. From the
strain and stress of trench fighting re-
suits temporary paralysis, the victim
