Splendid Eumanltarianism

Editorial from Salem Times.
Register and Sentinel, January %,
1915
The first annual report of the
Catawba Sanatorium Alumni as
ISOLATION covering the year 1913
IA, has just been issued and the
report IF the work done as we'll as
some statements contained in the
explanatory letter of the Executive
Commute presents such a splendid
humanitarian work and such q
glorious opportunity to the people
of Virginia to do something really
worth while for their fellowmen,
as to be worthy of careful perusal.
The organization is the outgrowth
of the sympathy of some Of the
patients who were compelled to see
fellow. sufferers well on the road to
recovery give up the treatment
when their means were exhausted
and return to their former unfavor-
able surroundings with the almost
inevitable result of a serious set
back which imperilled or actually
cost them their lives. With the
growth of the institution the need
of this kind increased for the State,
after fixing the low charges which
prevail, makes no provision for any
patients who are not able TO pay
this sum-
The Association. after a brave
struggle to meet this great need,
recognized that is was too large for
their resources and were compelled
to ask the aid of their friends. By
this means they have already col
lected ST, FOL 80, S7S5 of it by a
Tuberculosis Day" campaign in
Roanoke and about $4,000 by
same means in Salem. We find
from the report just issued that
with these funds the association
has aided twenty patients who
otherwise would have been COM
PEELED to leave the Sanatorium, to
the extent of 1924 43, and the
committe in their statement tell MS
that number of these patients
have since been able to return to
their homes and their work. The
patients at the Sanatorium have
contributed more than enough to
pay all expenses of the Association
including the campaigns conducted
in Salem and Roanoke, so that
every dollar contributed by those
moved to forward this work has
been applied directly to the aid of
needy patients.
1t is the intention of the Asso-
citation to continue the campaign
to other cities of Virginia and they
feel confident, as they have right
to feel, that other cities will show
the same interest in this splendid
work which has been shown in
Salem and Roanoke. and that they
will be equally generous in their
response.

Trench Insanity Ravases

Men In the trenches are not fight.
ing all the time. But they ale fear.
full all the time. They would often
welcome seen foe ii they could lie
spared the unseen one. The dread
of bomb and shrapnel, the death
dealing missives c)ming from an
unseen foe; these are the things
that wear upan the nerves. Sleep
in the trenches with mud and
water and cold is not downy at best
But when insomnia destroys even
this, when nightmares move in
chastity phantasrnagorlcal process
sion through the mind, when sleep
or walks in his sleep with the ex-
preston of deepseated dread upon
his face. 1t is under such con-
ditions that the trenches become
worse than the inferno that Dante
depicted.
No wonder that insanity is COM
mon and that the temporary hos
pitfalls for the insane and the hos
pitfalls for those permanently de-
ranged are overcrowded. The de-
pletion of the fighting forces from
insanity is itself q severe and a har-
rowing tell of war. But the severest
test to the mind, the one that shat
tiers the intellect is the dread of be-
ing alone the fear of being isolat-
ed on the death line frome som
panions; the prospect of finding
oneself under the war-cursed clouds
and without friendly word, voice
or preser ce.
Such are the experiences of the
men who are fighting in the
trenches; many of them without
any clear idea of why they are
fighting at all. As a foil to the
trench insanity is the distress of
the women at home. In England
this has driven many of them to
drink. In all the countries it has
driven many to despair and has
threatened their reason. The picture
is gloomy beyond belief. The gloom
is settling The war is progressing
and the trenches becoming more
s!iabolical. Madness the war is,
and it naturally breeds madness in
those who are made the victims of
its demoniacl decrees.-Exchange.

YEAR OF INDEPENDENCE.
The Custom of Dating ProcIamations
 by the President.


 by the President.
 While the president of the United States dates official documents from the year of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, there is no law on the sub- ject, and the custom is neither general nor binding, the form being used only In proclamations by the president It originated before the adoption of the constitution during the days of the confederacy.
 The original articles of confederation show they were signed by the dele gates lat Philadelphia, in the state of Pennsylvania, the 9th day of July, in the year of our Lord, 1778, and in the third year of the independence of America" The signers dated ''the in- dependence of America" from the Dec larauon of Independence, July 4, 1776, although the war was still young and continued several years longer. The constitution shows it was signed ''the 17th day of September A. D., 1787, and of the independence of the United States of America the 12th."
 The first proclamation issued by Washington as president was, "Given under my hand and the seal of the United States in the city of New York the 14th day of August A. D., 179O, and in the fifteenth year of the sov- ereignty and independence of the United States" He used the phrase sovereignty and independence" in two proclamations and then dropped the word sovereignty.
 All subsequent executive proclama- tions are dated from the year of inde- pendence, as beginning July 4, 1776. although the independence of the Unit ed States was not acknowledged till several years later. - Philadelphia Press.
