SHELL SHOCK HITS
YANKEES LIGHTLY
cally all victims of shell shock should
be completely recovered within a year,

time
Less Than Thousand Cases.

time.
Less Than Thousand Cases.
Reports received here are that there
are now less than thousand cases
of shell shock to be treated, thanks to
the improved methods by which the
United States army combated the at
Fiction. Preparations had been made
to take care of $500 cases, sent to this
side by March 1, but since hostilities
ceased word from France shows there
are only 300 cases there requiring
treatment in this country. There are
probably about the same number en-
route home.
1t is accepted here that the drop in
the expected number of sufferers was
due directly to the news Of Germany's
surrender. The only explanation for
this is the removal from the sufferers
of apprehension that they would
again be subjected to an ordeal that,
acting on the minds, actually twisted
their bodies out of shape.
Serious as have been the ravages of
shell shock among the troops. said
Colonel Bailey. described by Surgeon
General Ireland as one of the coun-
tryis leading psychiatrists, the United
States forces have not suffered to the
extent those of the other allies have.
This is due largely to the fact that 90
per cent Of the cases developing have
been cured in the field hospitals by the
prompt treatment provided. o
Given Special Treatment.
The more seriously afflicted are
brought to this country and sent to
Plattsburg, N. Y, where there is q
special hospital of 1,5OO beds. Within
short time after admittance most
patients avow they are regaining their
normal condition, and after observa-
ton indicates that this is SO, they are
removed to casual detachment at the
hospital for brief additional observa-
ton. When it is evident they have
recovered they are sent to camps near
their homes to be mustered out.
The rapidity with which cases are
being cleared through Plattsbllrg con.
vinces Colonel Bailey that there will
be few permanently disabled by the
disease. This is in marked contrast
to the situation in England where
there are 10000 shell shock victims on
the pension rolls.
Colonel Bailey revealed that, con.
trary to the general Belief, shell shock
does not necessarily come from heavy
cannonading. Proof Of this is found
in the fact that from 10 to IL per cen,
of the casualties In the Chateau Thi
cry fighting were shell shock, most Of
these men having bean exposed only
to machine gun fire.
