War Strain Causes Nerve Shock.

The term shell shock has misled
many persons to believe that 1t is due
TO the profound impression or shock
produced on the nervous system by
the detonations of high explosives.
No doubt, there are cases of actual
brain or nerve injury due to concus-
sion Of the air accompanying shell ex-
plosions, but these mechanical causes
are a great deal less frequently re-
sponsible for war neuroses than the
mental effects of general var strain.
1t Is remarkable that these war neu-
roses, common Is they are among pri-
Yates and officers alike, are seldom
found In men who have been actually
wounded. Perhaps this seeming anom-
ally is due to the actual wound shock
offsetting the mental impression af-
fecting the controlling nerve-center In
such cases.-Popular Science Monthly.

WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average|en-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR is ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls one-thlrd
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as well as the
neutrals. the U. S. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that he world
shortage created by the light crop OF
l%917-191S Is at least three and a hall
million tons.
That the 1917-1918 crop Of cane sug-
ar was two million o n in excess OF
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half OF
the world cane crop, and the Java sug-
ar is too far removed from America 10
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java a large part of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
it requires 100 to 160 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Fails.
Taking the Allied nations rs a group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar is now only Dol
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out.
break of hostilities In Europe, France
produced an average of 1882 tons OF
& each year. For 1918 the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With 81 factories operating. as com
pared with more than 200 that wer'
In existence before the war and befor,
the general campaign of destructive
ness launched by the German armies
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar In 1911
! than In 1851, when the total outpu
was 202,415 tons.
Italy In 1918 produced 100, 80
tons of beet sugar, which was $500
tons less than the previous year an
11O25O less than the annual output o
sugar for the FIVE year pre-war pc
Rod.
One Of the great difficulties expert
enced in Italy's beet sugar industr
was finding sufficient labor to handl
the crop. Thousands Of men usuall
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service. Tn,
yield per acre amounted to approx
mately half of the usual quantity o
beets harvested

Foch Keen Student of War.

General Foch. like General Joffre,
is a home lover and avoids society.
He is said to live in a small fiat near
his office. when not at the front. and
to be devoted to his family. The con-
ventions of society bore him. Like the
proverbial Englishman, he is fond Of
taking long walks, and never knows
when he is beaten. His saying that
'the battle is never lost until It's loss
Is admitted" Is famous and indicates
not only his military wisdom, but his
sane and courageous philosophy. Al
ready a master of strategy before the
war. he has not been slow to learn the
new lessons of the present conflict;
rather. indeed. has he developed added
initiative. decision and military audac-
ity.
