NOTICE GIVEN OF INTENTIONS TO
PLACE ARMED GUARDS on
MERCHANTMEN.
Germany viii be informed That Her
Submarine Threat VIII Not
Keep American Vessels
From the Sea.

Washington-Th United States
government on March IL took the only
formal step that viii precede the sail
Ing for the war zone Of American mer-
chant ships armed to- resist attacks
by German submarines.
Notice to the world of the intention
TO place an armed guard on merchant
men was given In a communication
sent by the state department to all
embassies and legations in Washing
ton.
The statement, which it Is assumed
viii be transmitted 10 Germany by the
Swiss minister, follows:
In view OF the announcement OF the
imperial German government on Janu-
airy 81, 1917, that all ships, those OF
neutrals included, met within certain
zones Of the high seas, would be sunk
without any precautlon being taken
for the safety OF the persons on board
and without the exercise of visit and
search, the government OF the United
states has determined to place upon
all American merchant vessels sailing
through the barred areas an armed
guard for the protection of the vessels
and the lives OF the persons on board.
Officials continued to be reticent
about the arming of ships and the
probable date the first would be ready
TO sail. All such details are regarded
as military secrets. In fact, there is
general disposition to avoid discussing
any phase OF the situation pending
the outcome OF the defiance of the |
submarine menace by American YES
sells with naval guns and gunners on
board.

WAR MAKES MEN EPlLEPTIC
And Others lnvalided From the
Trenches Are Constantly Haunt
ed by Fear.

Some of the effects of warfare On
man-effects which usually are not
given wide publicity, are revealed In
an appeal in the London Times by
Lieut.. Col. Sir John Collie for the es-
adjustment of an institution where the
tangled nerves of war-shaken men may
again become normal. Sir John wants
to place these victims in a home in the,
country where quiet may be able to,
overcome their Authorizations.
Men do not suffer in the same way
as the lower animals" he says. For
instance, many men invalided out of
the service are haunted by an appre-
hension of transcription"
The men fear that they will have to
go back and face the enemy Their
brains are clouded and they do not
realize that they cannot again be
called upon to serve. So they live in
constant fear.
Another distressing result of trench
warfare is the comparatively large
number of men returning from the
front who suffer from epilepsy and
hysteroepilepsy Much of the epilepsy
is due to injury the doctors say, and
the hysteroepilepsy is laid to the stress
the men are under at the front.
SO many of these epileptics have APP
peared since the war began that plans
for a farm colony for the incurables
among them are being made.
