FEW ARE DRIVEN MAD
BY GREAT WAR, CLAIM

Paris Correspondence of The As
ISOLATED Press. 1.-The war has not
driven mad so many persons as was
anticipated in the early stages Sta
Ustics thus far show that the first re-
ports Of men going crazy under the
internal fire of modern artillery was
exaggerated.
Or O. Dumas, who has treated all
the cases of mental trouble in one Of
the French armies. says that his data,
GOVERNS the first ten months OF 1919,
agrees with the reports Of German
doctors concerning madness among
c0mbatants
He finds the cases Of insanity caused
directly or indirectly by the war in
France are quite as few in proportion
as those in Germany offers the figures
as d Tefutati0n Of the theory OF Ger
man specialists that the Teutonic race
is showing greater nervous resistance
than the Latin.
Dr. Dumas report covers 1,1SS cases
OF arrangement Of which only ) Y per
cent We're cases Of general paralysis
while in most asylums in time of peace
the proportion is Is per cent. This he
takes as conclusive evidence that the
fatgues and connections Il war have
no influence upon the development OF
this form OF insanity.
General paraIytics, however, when
they become deli-ious, rave about the
war, the same as cases in which the
symptoms are quite different, and Dr.
Dumas concludes that the life of the
Comhatants often simply gives a war
color TO deIirium that would have eG-
listed under normal circumstances, but
