MASSED PSYCHOLOGY
TO CURE SLACKERS
Ohioan Would Put towards
Into Camps With Real
Men.

New York. Dec. 10.-How hundreds Of
thousands of men rejected for the draft
as physically unfit could be returned
to health through "massed psychology"
and disciplinary methods in reclamation
camps was told at the annual onven
ton Of the Association of Lite Insur-
ance Presidents, in session here. by DR..
John IA. Quayle, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Shortly after CONSUMPTION" he said,
lit was estimated that there were
2,000,O 900 men between the ages of 81
and 81; who had no visible means Of
support and were supported by their
father, mother or some other woma,.
Practically all Of these men would be
physically unfit, as. they are physical
and moral cowards.- But if they were
put in reclamation camps under army
discipline, outdoor life, simple food,
regular hours and given such medical
and surgical attention as they need, to-
gether with what | call 'massed psy-
chology,' or the association witli real
men, the results would be more as
founding thar u figures on rejection.
why conserve our food supply and
feed these slaclers, who eat their own
weight in perfectly good food every 80
to 40 days, when it rightfully belongs to
the men who will fight, the men who
stay at home to produce food for our
army our women and our chfldren""

Crusos's Relics.

A biography written in the early part
Of the last century by DR.. A. w. Davis,
of Tenbury, Eng, tells Of the good doc
tors visit to Largo in Fifeshire where
he saw a chest that once belonged to
Alexander Selkirk. This Selkirk was
none other than Robinson Crusoe, and
the chest was that which had been
with the redoubtable a~dventurer on the
island of Juan Fernandez. 1t was an
heirloom that had been handed down
in the family and was then in the pos
session of a poor woman, also named
Selkirk. She had a drinking cup that
had belonged to her distinguished
%cestor, made of c%ocoanut shell and
tipped with silver.
DR.. Davis was convinced that both
relics were genuine. The chest was of
a kind commonly used by seamen and
had "A. S." cut into the lid at several
places. This same woman also had
owned a musket of Selkirk's, but she
gave it to the laird of the parish. DIR.
Davis notes that visitors We're permit
ted to see the weapon upon request.

Mobilization of Banks.


The mobilization of the banking forces

panies passed resolutions authorizing ap-
plication.
1t is fair to assume that this increase
will continue as a war measure, IL for no

Petrograd, Sept. 10. - The first
exiles among the adherents of the
old imperial regime were sent under
strong escort to the Swedish FROM
tier where they will be released.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken to guard the exiles and access
to the railroad station where they
boarded a train was forbidden.
At the head of the party with a
Sister OF Mercy was the famous
Mademoiselle Virubova, for twelve
years the bosom friend and confidante
been called 1.-THE female Rasputin of
entriguer, Manseevich- Manuilov.
On the eve of her departure
Mademoiselle ViruboYa was inter-
viewed in her apartment by The As
ISOLATED Press in the presence of a
detective. She is a strikingly hand
some. somewhat stout blackhaired
woman, resembling the portraits Of
Catherine the great. She limps and
uses a crutch as the result of rail-
road accident. There is scar on
her forehead which she asserted was
inflicted by the guards at the fortress
of st. Peter and st. Pa. L, from
which she was recently released.
Mademesiolle Virubova, who Is
personally fascinating, but apparent
ly not clever woman, gave strik-
ing outline of the last years of the
court of Emperor Nicholas, declaring
that the memoirs which she intends
to write will startle the world.
