suade him to abandon the offensive

EQual Rights League waxed warm in
urging the cause of his race, it is not
to be wondered at That he over
stepped the bounds of propriety is not
shown.
That the President was vexed is all
that appears in the published record.
If any adequate reason for his vexa-
ton had been supplied by Mr.. Trot-
ter, it would surely have been dis
closed
That there was reason for the Pres
ident's i'll temper is quite true, but it
was supplied by the Cabinet members
who were responsible for the narrow
minded policy of segregating Colored
employees from white jobholders.
The incident recalls the similar vex-
alton shown by the President when he
abruptly dismissed an equal suffrage
delegation on June 80 on the ground
that he could not submit to cross
examination
When man is right, he usually will
listen patiently to the other side:
when he knows he is wrong he is very
likely to fly off the handle.

He turned on him as he once before
turned on the woman suffrage delega-
ton whose assertions ana arguments
were not to his taste and drove the
President into making the absurd
statement that he was not at liberty
to approve woman suffrage because it
had no place in the National Demo

Berlin.-The military medical author
tiles made preparations at the outbreak
of the war for treating mental mala-
dies caused by the terrors of battle. It
had been shown by the Russo Japanese
war that the effect Of the long drawn
out modern battle, with its terrible and
1ncessant roar of artillery. was in a
high degree unfavorable to the minds
Of the combatants, and the record of
mental arrangements caused by the
battle in the far east opened a new
chapter in the horrors of war. In an
tcipation that similar results would at
tend the present war the German au-
thorities established at Strassburg a
special hospital for the treatment of
diseases Of the mind caused by battle
One of the physicians attached to
this hospital has just given in the Mu-
mich Medical Weekly some of his OBJ
servations during the first weeks of the
war. He found that mental disorders
manifested themselves among the Al
satan population even during the pc.
Rod of mobilization, when the terror
of being arrested as spy was ever
present with many persons.
Still greater have been the numbers
Of persons who lost their mental bal
ance through the terrors Of battle and
especially through long continued IA
'tigue. Some of these patients showed
something like hysteria and kept re-
peating in "a dramatic way incidents
that they had seen in battle.
The writer uses special term, "neu-
rasthenic depression to describe the
effects upon a large number of patients
who had seen continuous fighting. Peo-

themselves Of the notion that they

WILLIAM MONROE TRoTTER,

The visit of William Monroe Trotter,
editor, orator and agitator, to the
Twin Cities was a great event.
He was received right royalty and
the simple modest manner in which he
told the story of his visit to President
Wilson to protest against an outrage
Gus wrong, charmed his hearers, Gre
ated enthusiasm and made a host of
friends.
The moral fibre of the people has
been quickened and there is now as
never before determination to fight
against the many wrongs and insults
which are heaped upon the colored
people.
They have learned the lesson that
it takes money to fight for justice and
they mean to make sacrifices if neces-
sary in order to provide the means
for the fight.
There are no frills and furbelows
about William Monroe Trotter He is
a plain, earnest, honest, upright man,

to dedicate his life to a noble cause.
