ADMIRAL DEWEY.

The great life of Admiral George
Dewey crossed "over the bar" late
yesterday afternoon, not unexpected by
the anxious nation who watched the
semi-daily reports from the bedside OF
the seaman who brought the Stars and
Stripes to the high prestige which
caused the United States to become an
international factor.
Several incidents of the life of Ad-
miral Dewey mark him. as man of
courage and one in whom the people
had no misplaced confidence. You
NAV fire when ready. Gridley," was the
calm command of six words which set
the American sailors in motion with
their unexpected guns in the harbor
II Manila Bay on the morning of the
first of May, 1898. There seems to
have been nothing extraordinary in
the words; they catch no ear as a fam
cy phrase-but it discloses the assur-
cd content of the commander when he
sent his forces to do or ruin.
Accounts of his life show the order
to proceed from Hong Kong after the
declaration of war with Spain created
an apparent disappointment in the
mind of Dewey. He believed that the
greatest naval struggle would take
place in Cuban waters. Some histor-
ians have said that Dewey and his feet
were between disaster and glory-their
coal was short and no supplies were
near Still the order from the COM
mand of his government must Bis
Ubeyed
NO one knew the force winch would
greet the American feet off Cavite.
With lights dimmed; hearts afutter
and courage supreme, the line OF
American warships stole quietly into
the bay-and there completely annihi-
lated and captured the Spanish feet.
Admiral Dewey served his nation in
the War Between the States and tri-
umyhed in the skirmish of the '90's.
The deeds of Dewey leave q fragrant
memory in the history of America for
time and eternity

SHELL SHOCK MORE
OFTEN IN ARMY Of
BRITISH IS FOUND

/ lAJNlfoAN, JuAA' ~ AN~S
found that cases Of shell-shock are
far more common in the British armies
than among the French or Germans,
while in the Balkan and Turkish
armies 1t is comparatively rare. This
is probably due to the fact that British
armies contain a larger proportion OF
men whose manner Of living or whose
occupations have made large inroads
on their store of nervous energy. Sold
iers from cities or factory districts, for
example, are far more likely to became
victims of shell-shock than men from
the farms or the country.
| Men suffering from shell shock are
always unwounded. mo case Of she'll
shock is ever found to occur in sold
Ter who has a wound. no matter how
trivial" says British medical report.
1T appears that the rending of the
flesh by bullet or fragment of shrap-
nel acts as sort of safety vale against
shell-shock. localizing in the injury
the destructive force that otherwise. Is
spent on the nervous system.
Here is description Of the typical
case: "A shell exploded In the vicinity
of soldier. He is unwounded, but
violently shaken, or knocked over,
or buried He loses his senses for
varying period, and his nervous sys-
tenn, having suffered a violent shaking,
Is no longer what it was. He starts at
the least sound, he cannot sleep, he
has pains in the head, and his hands
are slightly tremulous.
Some man, on recovering from I'M
c0usciousness, are found to have lost
the use of the special sense, sight
hearing or speech. This is a purely
functional loss, and recovering may
occur at any time, weeks or months
later. in a way suggesting that the age
OF miracles is not yet past. But the
fact remains that a great many never
recover, while others only improve un-
der the most painstaking treatment
"Hypnotism is occasionally success
full, and rather good results are being
obtained in other cases by simply plac-
ing the patient under chloroform. A
man who had been deaf and dumb for
three months was placed under light
anaesthetic. During the struggling
stage various incoherent sounds pro-
ceeded from his lips, and finally these
crystallized into words and the patient
continued able to use his voice when
he came out of his anaesthetic sleep.
Quite a number of cases rave been
similarly treated with chloroform, the
theory being that some nervous shock
- needed to cure a condition that has
been originally caused by shock, and
that has been kept in being by the
mans feeling of helplessness."
In addition there are many men who
: have never been subjected to sudden
, violent contact with the explosion of &
shell or mine, but who have broken
down under the steady day-by-da!
strain Of the trenches and the boom
ing of the guns.
In a mainly urbanized population
, like the British" says the report
many are on the verge of neurasthenii
that is, possess a nervous system
whose energy is soon exhausted, anc
war acts as the immediate exciting
cause to tumble them over"

the government itself, for nine months
before the actual Declaration OF indie

vessels TO form the nucleus OF a fleet
Within three months OF its appoint.

the famous old sea dog. John Paul
Jones. During the war OF the Revolu-

The "Tawdry Saint.r

St. Ethelreda has been unfortunate,
inasmuch as her memory is perpetu-
ated in the disagreeable adjective
"tawdry," and she Is sometimes even
referred TO as the "tawdry saint" In
the Isle OF Ely, where she died, a fair
was formerly held In her honor at
which a peculiar kind of cheap but
SNOWY lace was sold, which, as St.
Ethelreda's or st. Audrey's lace soon
became provcrblal and tawdry, an easy
corruption of the saints abbreviated
name, was used to denote oil things
more gaudy than valuable. - London
