Lesson In Geouraphy,

Readers of General Allenby's dis
patches, unfamiliar with the peculiar
tiles of the Dead sea, were not little
puzzled at his description Of British
airplanes flying four hundred feet be-
low the sea level. But reference to
geography brought the information
which solved the riddle; the Dead sea
lies 1892 feet below the surface of the
Mediterranean, so that airplanes sail
ing four hundred feet below sea level
were still at an elevation of eight hum
dred and ninety-two feet. Lessons in
geography abound in the papers now

SHELL SHOCK"
NOW MASTERED BY

Cases Soon Cured and Only 4
Per Cent. Suffer Second

ATLANTIC CITY. May 1o.-"Shcll
shock cases arc no longer feared by
medical men at tho front. The
trouble has been mastered and re-
covcry in nearly all cases is certain
and permanent. This was told ut the
opening session here yesterday O" the
forty-fourth annual convention Of the
American Neurological Association at
Hotel Traymore. Moro :han half Of
the delegates in attendance are In uni
form. many OF them veterans OF
months and years OF service in the
front lines, and at base hospitals.
The recoveries are based on sug-
gestion or proof to the patient that
his paralysis, following shock, is only
Illusion.
Particularly interesting instances Of
this character were related by Lieut.
Col. Colin Russel. c. a. NJ. C., who re-
lated his observations In "a years ex-
p%erience ut a base hospital close to
the front. lie gave statistics which
showed tho cures were so positive that

they were again returned to duty suf-
fered a second shock"
Ho told OF bringing about cures
in a few minutes where patients
wero brought in who had been sub
jected to terrifying shocks but were
otherwise uninjured. Cases whero a
soldier was certain his leg had been
paralyzcd were cured by tho appli-
cation OF a slight electric shock 10 the
member which caused tho patient to
draw away his leg instlnctiyely. This
proved to him that he sim could con-
troll tho use Of the limb. and that Il
was only n matter Of will power.

Russell where there was a ~H'nervous
