agree that it will center on that part
Of the line held by the Americans, from
Verdun to the Swiss border. The
American lines in this section are only
TWENTY-FIVE miles from the Rhine, ana
partially in German territory in Lor-
raine. Military critics have long agreed
that, when the moment comes for the
forward movement across the Rhine
and into the heart of Germany, the
best sector in which to begin II lies in
that part of the line now assigned to
Pcrshing and his men. 1t was hero
that the French in the first days of the

Special Hospital
For Treatment of
Shell Shock Cases

American soldiers suffering from shell
shock now are hurried in the shortes.
possible time TO u base hospital es-
tablished here for the special treat
ment OF such cases. The element Of
time Is regarded by the specialists at
tached to this hospital as prime i'm
portance. Efforts are made to deliver
such cases to the hospitals within
forty EIGHT hours after the first symp-
Tins develop. A special ambulance
service has been organized for that
purpose. Once here, the shocked SOL
der remains here until the treatment
OF his case is finished.
II the nervous trouble Of a patient
results from conclusion or from the
strain Of service 1t Is durable here. II
II Is not durable tbs because the case
was not brought here soon enough or
because 1t had Y chrontc foundation
before the patient went into the army.
Nervous symptoms resembling what
has been called shell shock have de-
veloped under the simple strain OF
service In soldiers who have never
heard a shell explode.
Base hospital lit treat both these
aspects Of war neurosis and only &C
cording to the highest standards Of
neurological science. Hypnosis is sell
dom used. No dangerous experiments
are allowed and isolation Is not fol-
lowed excepting as simple ward rou-
tine. The patients are kept together
and the nurses are kept with them,
giving their company as we'll as their
care and both are a part
Of the cure.
The patients, themselves when they
have recovered sufficiently became. ex
officia members of the staff; they CO.
operate 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 treat
ment Is the use Of tools or the instru-
ments Of sport. A shaking hand that
is Apable to retain anything in it grad
ually steadies with patient gripping
exercise and This method has the adj
vantage 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 loom made for him out Of
odds and ends of lumber by other pa
tents. Thru his attention to the work
and by the growing firmness of grip he
is obtaining thru practice he is gaining
control of his nerves and will be cured
in a few days. A machine shop with
turning lathes, a tailoring shop and
the ambulance garage furnish occupa-
lions for many.
All cases of palsy and paralysis re-
sulting from conclusion are cured
here when taken in time. A boy who
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 it fl
nany.

There is good reason for the intense
resistance of the Germans against the
British efforts north Of the Somme,
where least progress has been made by
the allies during the past week. The
Germans have placed high value on
their positions north Of the Somme
ever since 1915. At the time the bat
tie of the Sorflme began in 1916 they
held very awkward angle over much
the same ground as that now occu-
pied. They clung to this stubbornly
all thru the battle and never did evac.
uate it altogether until the great re-
treat in the spring of 1917 began. The
territory which the Germans hold on
the northern bank of ohe river has been
bitterly contested during the present
offensive and has been in the main
successfully defended. In spite Of the
allied gains south Of the stream, the
Germans have held their positions gem
orally. the British being able to push
forward for but short distance The
fighting, indeed. due to the type Of the
German resistance. has been brought
almost to complete stop.
One Of the main reasons can be
found in The situation about Arras.
Arras has been the bulwark Of the al
lied defense in Picardy for the last
year. The high ground of Vimy Ridge
has proved it's value in most sub
stantial way. The only point at which
this can be reached Ms from the Ger
man positions about Bucquoy, about
half way between the Somme and the
Scarpe. If the Germans were to be
forced out Of their positions north of
the Somn1e and made to fall back along
their former lines the entire situation

holding the position which they finally
rested In after the battle Of the Somme
was ended and before the retreat was
begun, 1t is almost certain that after a
short time the battle lines norh of

The announcement Of the organiza-
