Resuming Public Forks.

Scores of Southern towns and cities will
respond with enthusiasm to the Govern
ment's appeal for a resumption of those
municipal improvements which were sus-
pended in the interest of war work. If a con-
prises are under way during the period of
transition tn peace, says a statement from
Washington, they will aid materially in stabi-
LIKING employment and industry. "The re-
turn of war workers into the essential in
dustries of peace and the rehabilitation of
our military forces can both be made more
easily if the necessary public works of NUM-
cipalities are in full swing at that time" In
pursuance of this policy cities are requested
to determine promptly how much of their de-
ferred public works they can and will under
take in the near future and then to inform
the nearest Office of the United States EN-
ployment Service what kinds and what num-
bers of workmen they will need for carrying
out their plans.
municipalities for the most part will well
come this opportunity to take up freely again
the important lines of construction which
have been Lore or less impeded during the
last four years and, in some instances,
checked altogether since the United Stat S
entered the war. National requirements were
cheerfully given right of way over all others,
but it is a relief to know that local needs
such as pavements, parks, waterworks and
sewer systems and the erection of public
buildings now can be served without re-
straint. 1t is equally gratifying to know
that in entering upon Improvements of this
kind the municipalities will contribute sub
stantially to the patriotic work of prOvid-
ing employment for a demobilized army of
some four million American soldiers.

NeGU MIets TO Russia.

Among the peculiarly important though
slightly noticed conditions to result from the
armistice is the opening of convenient ways
into Russia While Archangel is now frozen
and the Siberian route entangled with civil
war, the lifting OF German guns from the Bal
tic affords access to Petrograd and it's rail
communications with the interior. Core
spondents point out, furthermore, that Riga
gives another useful port of entry, while
Poland under the terms of the armistice can
be reached by way of Di ntzig on the Vistula
river" and that through the Black Sea there
will be several good lines of transport by rail-
way and river" The approaches and en-
frances thus made available will be worth
much to the Allies in meeting future needs
OF the rather indetermnate Russian situation,
and are now OF great value in the task of re-
Eeving that ,ountry's desperate food wants.
1t was officially estimated a short while ago
that twenty million people in European Rus
STA were in peril of starvation this winter.
Without the opening of the new routes for
supplies, the problem would have been vir-
tUallv hopeless.

MALINGERING
By H. Arlington Bruce


n n ALINGERING may be sufficiently de-
MI fined as shamming disease to pro-
cure some personal advantage. Be
fore the war it was most in evid 0nce among
criminals and accident claimants Since the
war began many wishing to evade military
service have resortet to malingering to attain
that end
All sorts of diseases-deafness, blindness
paralysis, heart diease, epilepsy insanity
etc-are thus slammed. And an almost in
credible ingenuity is sometimes shown in
initiating symptoms so as to defy detection
by experts.
On the other hand the experts have proved
themselves no less ingeniC S in devising trap
tests for the malingerers. This has had the
result not only of making successful malin-
gering comparatively rare, but of bringing
to light some interesting facts as to malin-
gering in general.
Among these is the fact that at times men
who sham disease are, without knowing it,
suffering from some genuin disease that
would have suficed to procure for them the
personal advantage they seek. Occasional
ly they are afflicted with the very disease

do not worry about me- I am safely

Naturally this was Immediately reported
to the hospital mentioned in tn letter. The
letter writer was actually there, undergoing
treatment for deaf-mutism caused by shell
shock.
Retested in view. of his seeming "confes-
sion" to his wife, the original diagnosis of
his case was amply confirmed. The only
sham in his malingering was the malingering
itself.
OF course, the mental state of such a man
must be highly abnormal. For the matter
of that, however, EXPERTS in the scientific
study of malingering are coming increasing
ly to believe that all malingerers are of more
or less abnormal mentality. AS summed up
by an American authority, DIR. Bernard
Glueck

quently concomitant manifestations in the
same individual.
"Malingering is form of mental reaction
manifested for the purpose of evading par
ticularly stressful situation in life, and is re-
sorted to chiefly, if not exclusively by the
mentally abnormal, such as psycholpaths,
hystericals, and the frankly insane.
'Malingering and allied traits, namely,
lying and deceit, are not always consciously
motivated modes of behavior, but are not in
frequently determined by motives opera
tive in the subconscious mental life and &C
cordingly affecting to marked extent the in
dividuals responsibility for such behavior"
From all of which it would seem to follow
that malingering is itself symptom of men
tai disease, calling for special treatment at
lingerer in the common, everyday virtue of
emotional control.

1T Versailles.

1t is eminently fitting that the seat of the
sailles. Enriched with the history and the
romance of long ages, this placid French
town and its wonderful palace were made
peculiarly memorable in the winter of 1870
IL as the scene Of Prusianism's entry upon
an imperialistic career, with world domin-
ion as its coveted goal 1t was there that
King William the First of Prussia made his
headquarters during the siege of Paris, only
some twelve miles to the northeast; it was
there, upon the ruthlessly trampled rights of
France, that he assumed the title and power
of Emperor of Germany; it was there that
the evil spirits of Pan-Germanism became
potently embodied and set to brewing plans
for the war which was to engulf the world
Versailles had its day of mourning for
France and for human liberty. How meet
that 1t should now have its day of rejoicing!
William the First. grandfather and proto-
type OF the Hohenzollern now hiding in Hol-
land, was proclaimed Emperor on the
eighteenth of January, 1871. To the Crown
Prince, says a graphic report of the event,
were entrusted all the preparations for the
ceremonies. Every regiment in the army
was instructed to send it's colors in charge of
an officer and two non-cOmmissioned officers
to Versailles, and all the higher officers who
could be spared were ordered to attend, for
the army was to represent the German ma
ton at this memorable scene" (True to the
form and spirit OF Prussianism.) The Crown
Prince escorted his father to the palace,
where all the German princes or their rep
resentatiyes were assembled in the Galerie
des Glaces. A special service vas read by
the military chaplains, and then the EN-
peror, mounting on the dais, announced his
assumption of Imerial authority, and in
structed his Chancellor to read the procla-
nation is ded to tie whole German nation"
How different from that proclamation with
its fOreshadowings of tyrant greed and
crime, will be the message which the ap-
preaching peace conference will send forth
from Versailles! The one marked triumph
of autocratic militarism and the rise of a
power planted in the belief that Might is the
ultimate Right. The other will mark
triumph of militant democracy and the hope
full advent of what we trust will be the uni
versal reign of Right. In that gray season
of 1870 France lay crushed, and the fires of
human freedom burned discOnsOlately low;
but the winter of 1918 finds her exalted
with the light of a new faith written in the
stars. The Versailles of that day was for
cOnquerors and kings, the Versailles of this
day is for mankind.

FOOD

Let Germany ask of the cold, gray sea
The wheat that might have been green again
In generous fields for the good of men.
Let her ask for fruit of the murdered trees
Has she already forgotten these?
In the midst of her crying who has heard
Any regret for deed or word?
Is there repentance in Germany?
Let Germany ask of the mothers who
Have heard their children crying for bread
While insolent brutes were warmed ami fed
There is wheat enough in the cold, gray sea
To feed a city in Germany.
Let her send her submarines today
To find the food that she threw away.
This is thing she can do!
Let Germany say to the world one word
OF her broken faith and her bitter shame
Let Germany call herself by name,
And after her victims wounds are bound,
After her last sad slave is found,
When her looting and lying all are done
And the truth at last has its place in the sun,
Then let her cry for bread be heardi

These cliffs which protect this gay little

The larger horn Of land, the Big Orme, casts
a mysterious spell over the lonely wanderer
on its milky stretches of cold stone, and gives
the quaint impression of being little world

with human life and the ethereal volumes OF
