GERMAN PRESS SAYS RETREAT
 IS NECESSARY
Newspaper Says America Will Soon Have First
 Glass Army in France.

Paris, Aug. 19.---The German press is attempting to reassure its public that a general retreat is necessary on the western front to allow Gen. Du- dendorf room to manoeuvre and to assume the initiative on a vast scale. A German retreat, the newspapers say, would be a direct result of the recent Allied successes. The news papers asert that even if the Ger mans receive endorsements from Austria they have lost the power to command events, as Marshal Foch has the initiative and will keep it.
 German propaganda insists that the German general staff will retain the initiative by forcing premature en- agreements on the American army and thus wearing it out before it is fully prepared. L'HDmme Libre says. the American forces taking part in the Picardy offensive could not be com pared in size with those of the French and British. It says America soon will have a first class army in France and that it will have aeroplanes which the German aviators will have reason | to fear

Government Gives
 Compensation

The three forms of government aid for soldiers and their dependents, as revised, are explained in a govern ment announcement received by the Connecticut State Council of Defense. They include a1lotments and allowan- Ces, compensation for death or disa- bility, and United States government insurance.
 According to the revised eXplana- tions, every married enlisted man in the active military and naval service is under a duty to allot SIS a month from his pay to his wife and children. The government adds to these com pulsory allotments additional allow ances for dependents. The monthly government allowances for families | range from S5 for a motherless child, and $15 for wife without children up to a maximum of $50. Voluntary | allowance allotments from the sol- diers' or sailors pay must be made for parents, grandparents, brothers, sis ters or grandchildren who are depen- dent on him for support, and the gov ernment will add monthly family all lowances up to $50 a month.
 | Government compensation in case of death or disability is the modern substitute for a pension. It applieE to officers and enlisted men alike In case of death, compensation is paid to the widow until remarriage, chill dren until they are eighteen or marry, and dependent father and mother, but to no other relatives. The amounts range from $2O to $75 a month. In | oF +o1
 tion is from $50 to s95 a month. ac- cording to the size of the disabled mans family. Partial disability is compensated according to the reduc- tion of the earning capacity of the nan and the size of his family. Com pensation should be carefully distin- guished from government insurance.
 Government insurance is offered to soldiers or sailors in active service ot all ranks without medical examina- ton other than the favorable report Of the army or navy surgeon. The terms are low, the premium rate de pending on the mans age, ayera gine
 between S6 and $7 a month for the full amount of s10,0OO. Application for government insurance must be made within 120 days after the mar
 enters the service. The insurance
 may be continued after leaving the
 service without further medical exam.

NeurOtic Men Are
 Cured In France

A Chateau in Lorraine, July IT, American soldiers suffering from shell shock now are hurried in the short est p' ssible time to a base hospital es- tah!isbed here for the special treat ment of such cases. The element of time is regarded by the specialists at tached to this hospital as a prime inn portance. Efforts are made to deliv- CT such cases to the hospitals within forty-eight hours after the first symp- toms develop. A special ambulance service has been organized for that purpose. Once here, the shocked soldier remains here until the treat nent of his case is finished.
 If the nervous trouble of a patient results from concussion or from the strain of service, it is curabIe here If 1t is not curable, it is because the case was not brought here soon enough or because it had a chronic foundation before the patient went into the army. Nervous symptoms resembling what has been called shell shock have developed under the sim rle straain of service in soldiers who have never heard a shell explode.
 Base Hospital 117 treats both these aspects of war neurosis, and only, ac- ccrding to the highest standards of neurological science. Hypnosis is seldom used. No dangerous experi- ments are allowed and isolation is not followed excepting as simple ward routine. The patients are kept to- gether and the nurses are kept with them, giving their company as we'll as tleir experienced care and both are a part of the cure.
 The patients, themselves, when they have recovered sufficiently become ex- oficio members of the staff, co-ope- rate with the doctors and nurses in | helping the other boys out of the+r mUddled condition of mind and their unsteady state of nerves.
 The most obvious part of the treat nnent is the use of tools or the instru- ments of sport. A shaking hand that is unable to retain anything in it gradually steadies with patient grip ping exercise and this method has the advantage 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 a loom made for him out of odds and ends of iumbre by other pa tients Through his attention to the work and by the growing firmness of grip he is obtaining through practice he is gaining control of his nerves and will be cured in few days. A ma chine shop with turning lathes, a tail bring shop and the ambulance garage furnish occupations for many
 All cases of palsy and paralysis re- sulting from concussion 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 i of speech are the most difficult cases the treatment is longer and requires greater pains but they yield to it fi- nally.

employees were largely increased, in volving an addition to railroad oper- ating expenses of more than $475,- 900, 900 per annum. In order to meet this increase the public has been call ed upon to pay largely increased pas senger and freight rates. The people have accepted this new burden cheer fully and periodically. The least that every empIoye can do in return is to serve the public courteously, faithfully and efficiently.
 "A great responsibility and duty rest upon the railroad employees of the United States. Upon their loyalty, efficiency and patriotism depends in large part Americas success and the overthrow of the Kaiser and all that he represents. Let us not fail to measure up to our duty, and to the just demand of the public that rail- road service shall not only be efficient but that it always shall be courteously administered.''
