tradiction.'
A man who rose from the ranks to
the grade of captain was haunted by
the thought that he was unequal to his
responsibilities and pIeadea to be re
trOgraded.
Among the cases of this kind was a
man who reproached himself for hav-
ing revealed important military Sc
creCs and who was haunted by the
prospect of being courtmartiaIed for
treason.
There were 348 cases, between
March, 1915 and January, 1916, of
mental troubles directly due to hor-
rOr Of battle scenes and conmotion
produced by commandments.
A considerable number of the men
tally debilitated have the mania Of
invention. DR.. Dumas is of the
opinion that the number of these
cases outside the army would
be found greater in proportion if the
Minister of Munitions could make
public the correspondence he receives
from civilians.
Among the debilitated were several
men and officers who didn't know
where or for whom they had beer
fighting. One declared that he was
unaware that France was at war

DEMOCRATS GAIN z
Ohio CONGRESSMAN
Fight for State Officers Close;
Cities Democratic.

COLUMBUS, OHIO : The result in
Ohio is very close, but Wilson is lead
ing and most the Republican leaders
concede the state to him. The Dem
ocrats made steady gains in the rural
districts and also made gains in the
cities to insure Ohio to Wilson.
On the state ticket the result is very
close with the chances favoring the
reelection of Willis, Republican, over
James M. Cox Inc probability is that
Myron T. Herricb has been elected
senator over Pomerene who is facing
a hard fight for reelection. The big
cities with the exception of Cincin-
natl have practically all gone for the
Democratic candidates by increased
majorities. The Democrats have prob
ably gained two congressman in the
Fourth and Fifth districts.
