 "The war has developed two large groups of cripples, one including those who have been maimed by the loss of arms, legs, and eyesight, and in other pnysicaI ways. "A grcav en- deavor has been begun to re-edu- cate these men and to fit them for new trades and for a useful and self-supporting life. The second group are those who suffer from functional disturbances of the cen tral nervous system. These cases present paralysis and other disturb ances of locomotion which are purely hysterical, or they show mental dis orders which are also functional, but which simulate true insanity in any of its manifold varieties. One of the most characteristic cases is that known as shell shock, which is di- rectly attributed to sudden and un- expected exposure to the vibration and noise of the discharge of high explosives in a person overtired by physical work and overwrought by mental fatigue. A great success has been achieved by systems of nerve and muscle education, especially in French institutions devoted to this work. Many of the sufferers from these functional disturbances of the nervous system have been returned to a useful civil life, and some have rejoined the fighting ranks"

GEORGE FAVORS USE OF VETO IN
 IRISH CONGRESS


 the interests of Ulster by giving its representatives veto power in the proposed new Irish parliament, over measures which conflict with Ulster , interests, has been characterized by able expedient. This fact has just Premier Lloyd George as a work been disclosed by making public a letter which the premier wrote to Sir Horace Plunkett, chairman of the Irish convention some time ago when the convention became dead locked over the Ulster question and sent delegates to confer with the premier in London.
 "The government understands" wrote MT. Lloyd George, "that it has been suggested that safeguard of Ulster interest might be secured by provision of an Ulster committee within the Irish parliament with power to modify and if necessary to exclude the application to Ulster of certain measures either of legis- lation or administration which are not consonant with the interests of Ulster. This appears to be a work able expedient, whereby special con sideration of Ulster conditions can be secured and the objections to the single legislature for Ireland over- come"
 Despite the premier's approval of this plan the Ulster Unionists dele gates to the Irish convention de- clined to participate in any scheme of self-government for Ireland.
 Outlining broadly the views of the British government on the Irish Home Rule question, Premier Lloyd George wrote to Sir Horace Plum keIt as 1olloWS:
 Questions of which there is an acute difference of opinion in Ire land and Great Britain must be held 1, over for determination until after the war" The premier considered 1 the control of the Irish customs and | Avoisn ono of the nrnhlems which 1 must await the conclusion of peace, | for he added:
 "The government suggests that. turing the period of the war and for he period of two years thereafter | he control of customs and excise should be reserved to the United Kingdom parliament that as soon as possible after the Irish parliament las been established a joint ex- ,hequer board should be set up to secure the determination of the true revenues of Ireland.
 He explained to Sir Horace in the etter, "that it would be practically to make such a distribu- ance of the fiscal and financial re- ations of Great Britain and Ireland n the midst of the great war" as would result in an attempt to trans fer of the Irish parliament control o the Irish customs.
 "The government considers" wrote f he premier, ''that during the period ,f the war the control of all taxa ion other than customs and excise 'hould be handed over to the Irish parliament, but he stipulated that ireland should contribute an agreed of the annual expenditure ,f the United Kingdom. <
 Main features of the customs plan by MT. Lloyd George, were adopted in a majority report of the rish convention. Whether they will 'e put into effect depends upon the action taken by the Imperial parlia-

BULLY BILL

Germany leaped into the war se- cure in the knowledge that her man-power, armament and general preparedness were superior to that of all the rest of Europe combined. Had she lacked that knowledge, says an exchange, she would have stayed out of the war with great deter imitation and zeal. Events have Justified her policy; for wherever she has been met, man for man and gun for gun, she has met nothing but defeat in nearly four years of fighting. Germany is professional congenital, traditional, typical bully. She never has been, is not, and never will be, capable of tackling anybody her own size without getting the worst of the argument. She hasn't he moral fibre, the breeding or the spiritual resources to be capable of overcoming an opponent whose phy- sical strength is equal to her own.
 
 Those stories you hear on the street-are they given on good au- thority? At least a dozen dangerous pro-German propaganda stories have sprung up against the Food Admini- stration in few months.

COMPRISING THE CAMPAIGN.

Speaker Clark is Of the opinion that
Congress will remain in session until
early IN November, adJourning probably
only In time to let faithful members get
back to their districts III season 10 vote
The fourth Liberty Loan campaign will
occupy three weeks beginning on Sep
tcmber 2S and during that period party
politics will of necessity be in occultation
Election day falls on November s. so
that we shall have Congress campaign
Of only two weeks and this Is likely to
restrict the State and local campaigns
to the same period.
Some Congressmen seeking reelection
may fear their absence from their dis
tricts will work against them with the
voters. Their opponents, with no duties
to attend TO in Washington, will be able
to get around the districts and meet the
electors But the danger IN this to an
honest efficient and loyal Senator or Rep
resentative is small The man who can
say that he must refrain from urging
his appeal on the electors because his
oath Of Office requires him TO be in the
House or Senate will advance an argument
in his own behalf that should strongly
influence all patriotic men and women
Indeed. the member of Congress who does
not shirk his present duty should be
in better position politically than the
member who quits the Capitol to labor
for his future
And perhaps Congress will find it
possible TO take fortnight's recess after
the nation has bought seven or eight
billions of dollars worth of bonds New

Ell ERNAI HEN PROBLEM.

About this time, according to the
sage advice of the government hen experts,
Is the time to consider culling the poor
producers from the flock. 1t seems it is
best to start as early as possible, removing
those hens whose appearance indicates"
that they have stopped laying As a
general principle, so the authorities agree,
it is wise to consign any hen over two years
old TO the family table, or the market,

off the Atlantic coast are getting alto
gether too pernicious in their activity.
The losses they are inficting are not
serious, in respect of tonnage, but by
making victims of our deep-sea fishing
boats they may tend to cut down the
supply Of fish, and thereby cause some
annoyance to our people Aside from
this we have no occasion for even slight
apprehension.

GIFTS.

sIFIS.
Gifts are friendships symbols, fine,
Men like to give to them they love,
They come To earth with gifts divine
To do the tasks of God above.
And there, where all IL understood
Where it is known how they have
Not, what they've kept shall mark them
good,
But what to others they have given.
The happiest man is he who gives
To cheer the life Of him who takes;
Who smiles on all with whom he lives,
And for them all n pathway makes.
And he has lived his life the best
Who has not toiled for selfish needs,
But has at every chance expressed
His kindly thoughts by kindly deeds.
Nor is IL quite enough 10 give
tInselfably unto the few.
There IL n larger life TO live,
There is bigger work 10 do
That day when man must stand alone
And all his record lies unfurled,
Then, shall his service here be known
by what he gave unto the world.
Today on shell-torn fields of France,
Swept by the crimson sea of strife,
The best OF all our youth advance,
Making the gift supreme Of life,
Not forthe Joy they wish to gain,
Not for themselves they bravo the woe,
But that this world shall long remain
A happy place for men 10 know.
