Washington, Aug. 12.-Complete
collapse of the Kolchak movem ent
in Siberia was forecast in reports
reaching Washington yesterday. Kol-

200 miles from their former ad-

perior Bolsheviki forces composed
of veterans whose officers include
many Germans who fed to Russia

"O----- SHELL SHOCK IS NEURoSIS

(From the Scientific American)
 The medical department of the United States Army has found that the early conclusions regarding shell shock are not true. There is really no such thing as shell shock, although there are many cases of war neurosis. War neurosis is really not different from neurosis found beyond the war zone.
 ' Neurosis whether found in the army or among civilians, is a sub conscious desire and the physical condition in duced thereby to avoid a discomfort In the army, it is "a subconscious de- sire to get or to remain at the rear. However, it does not necessarily fol- low that the patient is lacking in cour- age. for there are many cases of war neurosis induced by the mental atti- tude of the patient concerning promo tions, leave.- alleged favoritism, etc. Among officers, neurosis is often in- duced by the responsibility occasioned by the demands at the front.
 Investigation has shown that shell shock or neurosis is unheard of among prisoners, although they may be in fearful physical or mental condition, just es it is almost unheard of among wounded. excepting those who are about to be returned to their com mands.
 Emphasis should be laid on the fact that shell shock or neurosis is a sub conscious attitude and a disease which must be cured. There are compara- tivety few cases of patients faking.
 Many soldiers having neurosis will remain uncured even after returning to civil life unless the disease is thor 'oughly understood so that proper treatment may be given.

George E. White in the American Re
 view of Reviews).
 Turks to the number of two to three millions belong to the Shia or Alevi sect and there is a deep chasm be- tween them and orthodox Moham- medans. "Ah, those devil worshippers, those devil worshippers," they say of Sunnite Mosleums. Tn this world they lord 1t over us, but in the next we'll saddle them for our asses, and we'll ride 'em, and we'll ride em.
 Shias feel themselves nearer to Christians than to regular Turks Re- member, Shia women veil themselves before Turks, but not before Chris tians. They say He who was re- vealed to you as Jesus was revealed to us as Ali" Less than the thickness of an onion skin separates you from us"
 It is commonly believed that Shias are of Christian ancestry in the far off past, and that their secret breaking of bread and drinking of wine is a form of the Lords Supper. They, themseI- ses. anticipate the time when they will intermarry with Christians, which signifies the closest bond that they poor people, can understand. In reality Shias are not one with the ruling Turk

TRY THIS ONE OUT
 ON A SLEEPY BOY
(Kansas City Star.)

tkanSdS City Star)
 What is the best method of waking tsoundly sleeping person." is a ques- ion quite a few millions of persons would like to have answered, there being few who have not or do not continue to exhaust every scheme and method known to them to rouse some heavy-headed members of their fam lilies in time to eat breakfast and get 10 office or school on time.
 With an odor, undoubtedly" a well known physician replied to the ques tion. The sense of smell is the most easily aroused of any of the five. We have trained ourselves to disregard noises-else we would get no sleep at all in a city. In the country, the same sounds which we utterly disregard in town would awaken us instantly To shake person is more or less success ful, as a rule, but often it serves to only half arouse the sleeper, and he turns over and goes to sleep again, or, if he does wake, he is apt to be in a bad humor. Any really unusual noise is effective, but one can't think of a new noise-making method every morn ing.
 When an odor is used. however, the sleeper wakes at once-is wide awake. Almost any odor will answer, if not too faint. Perfume of any kind is es- pecially good. Ammonia, camphor-in fact anything with a decided odor will do. but 1t should not be too powerful or the awakening will be violent"
