FEW ARE DRIVEN
INSANE BY WAR
First Reports Exaggerated;
Paralytics Rare About Con-
flict; Others Delirious

Paris. Sept. 81. - The war has not
driven mad so many persons as was
anticipated in the early stages.
Statistics thus far show that the first
reports of men going crazy under the
internal fire of modern artillery were
exaggerated.
DR.. G. Dumas. who has treated all
the cases OF mental trouble in one OF
the French armies. says that his data,
covering the first ten months of 1915,
agrees with the reports of German
doctors concerning madness among
combatants
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 and offers the
figures as q refutation of the theory
of German specialists that the Teu-
tonic race is showing greater nervous
resistance than the Latin.
DIR. Dumas report covers 11SS
cases of arrangement OF which only
three and one-half per cent. were
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
faugues and commotions OF war have
no influence upon the development OF
this form OF insanity.
General paralytics. however, when
they become delirious, rave about the
war, the same as cases in which the
symptoms are quite different, and DR..
Dumas concludes that the life of the
combatant often simply gives q war
color to delirium that would have
existed under normal circumstances.
btit in a different form.
Horror Works Directly
Horror, inspired by battle scenes.
sometimes works directly on the
nervous system. developing symptoms
such as hysteria, speechlessness, deaf
ness, loss of the sense of feeling, fits of
mental confusion or paralysis, not al
ways accompanied by hallucinations
or delirium.
Optimism OF the most exaggerated
type is the dominating note in the
hallucinations of the paralytics and
DR.. Dumas considers il a wonder that
officers do not in fits of eXaltation
give absurd heroic orders that lead to
disasters.
In one case a lieutenant who de-
ciared to the doctor that he had
cleaned out a German trench with
two machine guns that he had car
ried on his back from a point several
miles in the rear had remained in
command of his section until 48 hours
before he was examined. A few days
later captain was brought TO DR..

Dumas, fresh from the command of
his company, suffering from an
equally radical ht of exaggerated
optimism"
Loves Left" Nurses
DR.. Dumas reports II cases of what
he calls reasoning madness" in
which the fatigues and connections
of war have had no influence, but in
which Authorizations previously exist
ing were applied to the war. An
artilleryman who, before the war,
imagined that he was charged with
the defense of the radical and social
ist members OF parliament against
what he considered the calumnies of
the royalists and nationalists of the
right" was brought to a hospital
suffering from a tumor. He i'm
mediately divided the nurses of the
hospital into two parties, the Left and
the Right and would have nothing
to do with the latter while he be-
gan TO fall in love with one after an
other OF the nurses of the Left.
The mentally debilitated are largely
represented in the statistics. OF 1S5
cases, 1l0 were sent to the rear as
being permanently inapt for further
armed service and 55 who presented
symptoms of delirium were interned.
Several of these, DR.. Dumas says, owe
their mental condition to fatigues and
commotions of war and all of them
derive the themes of their delirium
from their experiences at the front.
There are among them Messiahs come
to announce the final victory, mes
sengers designated by Joan of Arc to
show the way to success, spiritualists
who have acquired occult knowledge
of the plans OF the enemy.
Alcoholics Few Now
Alcoholics were numerous in the
first month of the war among the de-
ranged soldiers, but have since been
remarkably few. In August 1914, 131
cases were brought to Val de Grace
OF which 81 were suffering from alco-
holism; in another hospital there were
SO out of 65. OF these So cases Is
had delirium tremens and II Of them
died. They were all confirmed drink
ers who had exaggerated their pro-
pensities during the exciting days of
the mobilization.
The number diminished rapidly
after the first month, not a single
case Of alcoholism being reported
during September from one of the
most fortified places and only 1872
developing in an entire army during
the first ten months of last year. All
of the 162 were reservists and insofar
as their history could be learned were
old drinkers. Nearly all of them re-
sumed their service after taking the
milk cure.
The tendency OF the alcoholics was
to dream of battle and to see Germans
everywhere. One of them took a de-
tachment of his comrades for the
enemy and charged them with fixed
bayonet.
The proportion of cases OF mental
depression among the 1.1Ss was large.
There were 224 in ten months-mostly
officers with besetting notions of pro-
fessional shortcomings and difficulties.
The majority of these men realized

Great Northern Railway
Sets Aside Pension Cash

Directors of the Great Northern
Railway have set aside the sum of
s1.000.000 TO endow a pension plan
for veteran employees The new plan
went into effect Monday, the anniver-
sary of the birth of the late James J.
Hill. The appropriation will be in
vested in bonds, interest on which will
be used for pensions. but if the fund
thus created proves inefficient the
deficit viii be paid out of earnings
and included in operating expenses.
Employees are to be retired at the age
of 20, but may voluntarily quit at 65
and receive pensions. The system
will take in those employees who have
been continuously in service for 20
years or more. For each year of
service an allowance of / per cent.
of the average monthly pay received
for the ten years preceding retirement
will be paid, but in no case will the
payment be less than $40 a month
nor more than SIS. The plan was
worked out by James j. Hill and w.

FISTS ACTIVE WHEN
 BROKERS DISAGREE
Dispute Over Copper Stocks Ends
 inPugi[StiC Encounter

New York, Oct "A fist fight on
 the Curb yesterday added fresh color
 to the deadlock existing between
 brokers who want to buy Emma Cop
 per and Old Emma Leasing shares
 for delivery and other brokers who
 have stock, but who decline to sell.
 It happened when Percy Guard,
 brother of William J. Guard, of the
 Metropolitan Opera House manage ment, appeared with orders to sell several thousand shares. MT. Guards entrance into the market was unex- pected, and when a scramble for the stock ensued some of the crowd be- came excited.
 Chester Gumperts took exception to something done by a broker known to his associates as 'the Butcher Boy" and laid his fist alongside tho latter's ear according to the story told afterward. Whereupon "the Butcher Boy" large man, hit Gumperts hard enough to draw blood and stir the general excitement con- higher. MT, Guard stepped discreetly to one side, declaring that business could wait It did wait un- til William Gallagher, the Curb pa cifst, conducted Gumperts to a near by office and calmed him.
 Guard sold about 10000 shares Of Old Emma Leasing for cash from 67 to 75 cents a share, compared with a price of 50 cents a few days ago, and also disposed of 1000 shares of Emma Copper from $3.25 to S3.75, thereby enabling some of the shorts to get stock for which they had been bidding urgently. Guard said the stock sold was his own and denied that George Graham Rice was letting go any of his shares at such a large profit.
 Rice himself was absent from the Curb all day, apparently attending to egal matters connected with the dis l rict attorneys office. It was report ed on the Curb that a number of 'ubpoenas had been served, but names were not mentioned Rice's charge that nearly score of Curb 1 brokers had "bucketed" buying or lers on the Emma shares led to a | conference between him and District Swann Thursday, On hargea made by Rice, it was said hen, the subpoenas were to be is- ued

HUGHES RETURNS T0 SCENES OF BOYHOOD
Visits House in Newark Where He
 Lived As Youth

Montclair, N. J., Oct For two IlCurs yesterday Charles F. Hughes rut aside the serious task of preDarin sr addresses for the tour on which he starts Monday and motored to New ark with Mrs. Hughes to visit the old unoccupied house at 164 Elm street where he lived from 1869 to 1874 He was eleven years old when the family moved away from Newark, and he had not been thcre since 1880, when he stopped at the house for a short tune While passing through Newark
 MT. Hughes recognized the house despite the fact that it showed the ef- rect of year and tear and all but one Of the big elm trees under which he played as a boy were gone. He got out of the automobile with Mrs Hughes and they explored the build ing.
 "I'H never forget that room" he tCld his wife, with emphasis on the word 'that." It was explained later that he took his music lessons in it. In another room, he remembered, a Cat he owned had had a fit.
 Only two persons knew of the visit until after MT. Hughes left, One was boy, the other a fireman who lived in the next house. The boy who had been told by his mother that Mr. Hughes once lived in the house, and who had seen many pictures of him, recognized him.
 Hello, MT. Hughes" he called out, running from the street where he had been playing.
 Hello, my boy" responded the nominee, waving his hat.
 They chatted for few moments, and then the fireman strollcd up. He told MT. Hughes that his father re- membered well when the Hughes fam fly had lived there, and that the fath- CT and MT. Hughes had played to- gcther as boys.
 Most of the vacant lots where Mr. Hughes played when he lived at the Newark house are now occupied by buildings. MT. Hughes talked about hcme of the pranks the boys used to play.
