commander keeps his Prussian op-

There isn't any doubt that Prussia,

in effect-it's up to the allies now to
hit hard.
Throughout today Haig continued
his tactics along the length of the
British front, marrying the enemy
everywhere. While the enemy anX-
Iously watches some spot where the
German commanders think they have
detected a little heavier artillery fire
than elsewhere, apparently signaliz-
ing preparation for an attack, Haig
slams forward somewhere else.

devote the coming winter to special
study Of the disease peculiar to the
war and war conditions in addition to
their work at the forward casualty
clearing stations on the French and
British fronts. At the casualty sta
tions they will get all the experience
they require in the marvellous war sur
gerry which has made such rapid
strides in the past three years. They
will be trained in all the medical
phases OF their work in the field at
special schools. The first of the
schools will be established this month
at the hospital taken over by the Johns
Hopkins hospital unit soon after the
first contingent of American troops
landed in France.
To Study Shell Shock.
One subject to which much attention
will be devoted will be that of shell
shock" which has proved very trouble
some to both British and French Of
ficers. Neurologists attached to the
various American units will study the
problem at Franch and British hos
pitals and afterward will give lectures
to their fellow officers both in the hos
pitals and attached to the troops in
training.
There is no more pitiful object in
the world than man suffering from
shell shock. Hypnotism has been used
as a cure. II stops the trembling and
quivering in most Gases but of late it

cure. The British have, found soldiers
suffering from shell shock who do not
have hypnotic treatment invariably get
back to duty as soon as those who
do.
Has Serious Effect.
Shell shock often causes deafness
and blindness. A man may be tossed
about by three or four shells without
getting hit by fragment or a splinter
but the effect of this tossing always
tells on his nervous system. Some OF
the worst shell shock cases have been
those where soldiers were buried under
the earth thrown up by the big projec-
tiles. Suchzburfal does not always ef-

hurt, he replied:
No, sir, guess not. but certainly
am strong for a. separate pea:e.'
Not Shocked in Big Battle.
A remarkable thing about shell shock
cases is that none occur during a big
battle. Tbs reason for this Is plain.
In battle the msHs are bnoyaA UP by this
great sexcitement. are pressing forward
and often are engaged inhand to hand
fighting while all about them is the
continual roar OF battle. They often
become oblivious to exploding shells
under these circumstances until actu-
ally hit.
Shell shock comes when the men are
compelled to- sit in trenches for long
periods or when out on patrol duty
and a big German missile bursts sud-
denly over them.
