A remarkable thing about shell shock
cases is that mono occurs during a Dig
battle. The reason for this is perfectly
plain. In battle the men are buoyed up
forward and often are engaged In hand
to-hand lighting, while all about them
is the continual roar of battle. They
often become absolutely oblivious to
exploding shells under these circum
stances until actually hit. Shell shock
sit in trenches for long periods or when
they are out on nerve testing patrol
duty between the fighting lines at night
and a big German missile bursts I'M
eXpectedly over them.
The treatment of shell shock cases is
often closely akin to that for tenn
porary insanity. The doctors and other
attendants strive always to get the
confidence of their patients and try to
start them talking, when the trembling
and other manifestations frequently
disappear.
Various phases Of insanity will be a
very important branch of medical study
this winter. while the doctors are wait
ing Tor the Americans to go into the
trenches Already number of cases
Of mental brea akdown have been treated
IN the hospitals. With one or two eX-
ceptlonS. however, these cases have
heen those usually met with in civilian
NE. deluSions having little to do with
the army or the war. One rather pitiful
case IS that of n man who never gave
the slightest trouble, but imagines
every night that he is to be shot at
dawn.

Strong Criticism in Pekin OF
Conduct of Entente

BY WILLIAM II. GILES.
Especial Correspondence of The Even
ing star ard Chicago Daily Ncws.l

PEKINC, China, August l9.-China's
joint declaration OF war against Ger
many and Austria was no surprise. al
though there was still a large number
of the officials. who sympathize with or
were in the pay of the Germans, and
who we're opposing the war measure
with all their energy.
The declara tion of war must be re-
garded AS a great personal triumph Tor
the premier, Tuan Ch.-jui. He encoun-
tered much secret. but not a great deal
OF open, opposition. and at last after
fight which nearly ended his political
career he has surmounted all opposition
and had his own way. The frantic ei
forts of the Germans, the amount OF
money they spent in bria!nE oitlciaiS:
their VrOraguuGa and the thftalS an"
promises Iy which they tried 10 I'M

tioR of war against Germany ana Aus

China had euieavcre to keep out OF
the war and that il was only When
she found that the central powers had
determined 20 continue destroying Chl-
neSe life and property that she 1eit
compelled 70 join the lists against the'n'
German Money Swayed Chinese.
The declaration Of war caused not the
sliEhtest excitement enthusiasm
among the Chi4cse people. Not an e%-
ira flag was hoisted, no crowds gath
cred in the streets, and but few stopped
10 read the proclamations announcing
the event, which were posted up out
side the official buildings and police
stations Tostae ordinary Chinese the
occasion had no particular signlhcance,
and the only question that seemed TO
worry them was whether it would have
any effect on the rate of exchange or
the Bank OF China notes would return
to par.
II ANYTHING. the Chinese were more
or less in sympathy with the Germans
on account Of the huge amount OF
money which had been put into circula-
tion by them and the well organized
propa ganda which had caused the GER
man side of the war question to appeal
TO them in n most favorable light.
Outside of the fact that all Germans
ana Austrians have been dismissed
from government employ with the eS-
ception of those in the universities ana
schools the terms under which the
Germans are allowed to remain IN
China are ridiculously lenient. Be
yond having 20 register, they are put
little interfered with
The terms under which the Germans
ard Austrians are now allowed to re-
side and work is victory for the Ger
man and Austrian diplomacy over that

Tuan to Help Allies.

Gen. Tuan Chi, the premier, is the one
man who most strongly stands out for
China doing something of an active ma

that she has taken at this late hour
will beSfor' her 10 send men in great
numbers, either as soldiers or laborers,
Just as the requirements of the situa-
tion demand. He explained that, while
he earnestly desired that China should
be represented in the firing line. he full

question Of transl ort and training. and
rather than be unrepresented he was Of
the opinion thIt an unlimited supply
of laborers and skilled workmen should
be placed at TIE disposal of the allies
This has led number OF his followers
to spread this .dea broadcast and there
are already si:rns that the more intelli-
gent portion IF the people are taking
the matter up. The Germans are, of
course, doing ali in their power to in
fuence them against such move, but
II is doubtful if they will meet with
any success now that the premier is
go firmly established.
