Casualty Lists Show 1t Is Easier to XIII or Wound American Soldiers Than to Capture Them-Army Life Good for the Lads.

hington.-Perhaps, after all. when President Wilson remarked that politics is adjourned" he was stating fact that existed throughout the country in spite of everything that the politicians are trying to do. 4 Re publican of prominence who has been a member of the national committee recently returned from a trip through out the country extending from Wash ington to California.
 The strangest thing that I ob- served" he remarked upon his arrival in Washington, .'is the fact that found no one who would talk politics. On the other hand, everybody was for the war and earnestly determined to support the administration in the prosecution of the war. As nearly as l could see, the country is behind Pres ident Wilson, and although l am a stanch Republican, 1 firmly believe that If an election for president were to take place tomorrow, President Will son would be elected regardless of it's being third term. So far as 1 ob- served, the people are in deadly ear nest for this war and in support of the administration which Is prosecuting ito

That the German people as whole are to blame for the war, and not merely the kaiser and his military as- sociates, is the view expressed by Sen ator Lodge of Massachusetts in his able speech outlining the aims of the United States. "We are not engaged in this war to try to arrange a govern ment for Germany" said Lodge. "Fhe German people must do that them- selves, and they will get precisely the government that they desire and de- serve-just as they now have the gov ernment they prefer, whose purposes and ambitions and barbarism they share and sustain. Our part and our business is to put Germany in a posi- ton where she can do no more harm in the future to the rest of the world"

The debates in congress on the draft extension bill showed conclusive ly that great many senators and representatives did not believe that a sufficient number of men for army service had been procured between the ages of 21 and 31. Senator Pomerene of Ohio made very strong speech in which he criticized the failure of the "combing process" and he remarked that there were too many men placed fin deferred classification. "Too many young married men have been allowed to escape military service" said the Ohio senator. "It is ridiculous to say that only such small proportion of men between the ages Of 21 and 31 were found available for military duty" Senator Pomerene was firmly of the opinion that it was unnecessary to take boys of IS and 19 when so many well-to-do men had been placed in de- ferred classes under the previous draft.

A comparison of the totals men toned in casualty lists and those listed as prisoners of war in Ger many shows that It Is easier for the diers than if is to capture them. No doubt the majority of the few Ameri- cans now in German prison camps were temporarily disabled in some way before they could be captured. It is not an American trait to cry 'tkam- erad," but rather to keep on fighting until death or unconsciousness steps until death or uneonsciousness steps in.

Never a congressman or congression- al party finishes a trip through the war area without at least one narrow escape from death. Stories that come back from time 10 time assert that Senator Blank or Congressman Dash has barely missed being exterminated in an air raid or by an enemy shell. Doubtless when the adventurous ones come back to this country they will also be subjected to many sarcastic remarks from their colleagues regard ing their ability to withstand gas at tacks because of experience with them before in senate or house.
 What Speaker Clark terms "an ex- creSeenee upon the "body polite" Is the pairing of members of congress when

During the debate on the extension
 of the draft nearly every time when
 senator or member of the house made a telling remark about babies of eighteen years being thrown into the battle front, the women In the oalleries would applaud. That Is the
 best argument against woman suffrage that has been made" remarked man in the gallery. Tt goes to show that
 if women had control they never would allow war because II would mean the sacrifice of their sons and rela. ! tives."

When the report of the senate sub committee to investigate aircraft pro- duction was ready for presentation 1t was brought up by Senator Thomas of Colorado, chairman of the subcommit- tee. In presenting the report he said that the committee on military affairs had instructed him to have it read. so the secretary of the senate began reading. Before very long, however, the Colorado senator interrupted: Tn view of the fuct that the reading of this report does not seem to command the presence of the senate. l ask that It's further reading be dispensed with" That report was too important for sen- stors to listen to It. They wanted to get copy and read fl.

Considerable comment was aroused in the house when Congressman John son of Washington exhibited a 10S- pound page in soldiers outfit as an argument that boys of IS are too young to be drafted. One amusing ref erence to Johnson's action was made by Congressman Langley of Kentucky. q do not believe" said Langley, that there is a single member of this body, with the possible exception of Uncle Joe Cannon, who could not outpoint that boy in any physical contest, and l am not so sure but that even Uncle Joe might come out of 1t the master" But on the other hand. as one mem Der put it. there are other eighteen year-old boys that could outrun and outjump any man in the house and outright any two of them.

and the nurses are kept with them, giving their company as well as their experienced care and both are Il part of the cure.
 The patients, themselves, when they have recovered sufficiently become ex -otficio members of the StaH; they cooperate with the doctors and nurses in helping the other boys out of their muddled condition of mind and their unsteady state of nerves.
 The most obvious part of the terat- ment is the use of ttolS or the instru- ments of sport. A shaking hand that IS unable to retain anything in it gradually steadieS with patient grip ping excersise and this method has the advantage of occupying the mind while it re-educateS the hand.
 One boy whose head and hands were shaking constantly was seen weaving things out of dyed ends of string on a loom made for h
 of odds and ends of lumber by other patients. Through his attention to the work and by the growing firmneSS of grip he is obtaining through practice he is gaining control of his nerves and will be cured in a few days. A machine shop with turnln
 tailoring shop and the ambulance garage furnish occupations for many.
 All cases of palsy and paralysis re- sulting from concusion are cured here when taken in time. A boy was brought in with a paralyzed leg is now walking around the grounds, after a week of treatment. Defects of speech are the most difficult cases; the treatment is longer and requires greater pains, but they yield to 1t finally.

SHELL SHOCK
 VICTIMS ARE
 SHOWN HASTE

CHATEAU IN LORRINE, Sept, ' - American soldiers suffering from shell shock now are hurried in the shortest possible time to d base hos pital established here for the special treatment of such cases. The element of time is regarded by the specialists attached to this hospital as a prime importance. Efforts are made to de- liver such cases to the hospitals with in forty-eight hours after the first symptoms develope. A special ambu- lance service has been organized for that purpose. Once here, the shocked soldier remains here until the treat ment of his case is finished
 If the nervous trouble of patient results from concussion or from the strain of service, it is curable here. IT it is not curable, it is because the case was not brought here soon enough or because it had a chronic foundation before the patient went into the army. Nervous symptoms resembling what has been called shell shock have developed under the simple strain of service in soldiers who have never heard shell explode.
 Base Hospital IF treats both these aspects of war neurosis, and only ac- cording to the higest standards of neurological science. Hypnosis is sell dom used. No dangerous experiments are allowed and isolation is not foll- owed expecting as simple ward rou- tine. The patients are kept together

to pacifism, peace by negotiation, in- telbeligerent Socialist meetings or other means of securing q peace with out fighting argue in excuse that, though America may be Solidly back ing war efforts, it is not solid i nsup- port of Wilson's peace terms.
 Suspicion of an American pluto tracy and possible alliance with i'm pcraliStic elements elSwhere is now the main stock in trade of Socialist J&cihsts, who are still sufficiently strong to be dangerous allies to a
 ldllful German drive. Facts have at last overcome a German propaganda sufficiently to convince this class that America means to fight with all her strength"

DRIVE
 OF HUNS WILL
 BE PUT DOWN


 LONDON, Sept, 7.-Members of the Mission sent to England and France by the Social Democratic Le- ague of America declare that the way to defeat theseXpected German peace drive is to convince the Social iSt and Labor leaders of the Entente nations that America stands solidly behind President Wilson and backs up his peace terms to the lint.
 Their purpose in coming to Europe to confer with Socialist and Labor ,eaders of England onl France is to convince them that American Social ists and working men are in unit in support of President Wilson's peace tremS.
 The mission is composed of Johl Spargo, A. NJ. Simons, Louis Kopclir md Alexander Howat, the latter Of the Kansas Mine Works.
 "Thc next vital step," they said il statement give nto the Associated Press before leaving for France, "i2 to convince the world of labor that the whole people of the United States is devotinC all it's fighting strength to nothing more or less th
 are the peace laid down by President Wilson.
 "Oncc this fact is accepted by the Socialists of the Allied nations thero will be an end of paciiiSm ther and a spread of peace sentiment in Austrian and Germany. Already it is claimed he Socialists of Austira and Germany have agreed to accept substantially these terms. If this is true the neoC of an utcrbcllgcrcnt Socialist con 'orcncc disappears since the Socialist of al nations will have agreed upo1 thc peace terms asked by the Unitcc States.
 "Whcther the expected German peace offensive finds sufficient re- sponse among the labor and Socialist bodies of the Entente nations to in iure morale to the extent that Ger many may obtain peace while her military autocracy remains a danger Jo democratic nations depends largcM upon the possibility of convincing such bodies that America stands sol idly behind President Wilson's peace terms.
 "Thc overwhelming mass of British Iaborers and Socialists wish to win the war They are misrepresentcd hy a small group controlling their poiit. ical organization. Even this group protests it's desire for victory bus some believe victory impossible and others charge that if obtained it will be used by imperalists to pave the way to future wars.
 "Yet all, pacifst or. pro-war, join in praise of President Wilson's pro gram. Through discussion with rc- presentatives of cvrey shade of labor and Socialist opinion shows that thel2 is almost unanimous and enthusiaSti" agreement upon this point.

Seems Like the Skin Is on Fire.
There is a harrassing discomfort
.aused by Eczema that almost be-

most unbearable, and the skin seems
On fire with the burning irritation.
A cure from local applications of
calves and ointments is impossible,
because such treatment can only al
lay the pain temporarily. The disease
can only be reached by going deep
down to its source.
The source of Eczema is in the
