GERMANY AND PEACE.

One can appreciate the situation
in which Germany finds herself with
out experiencing the least bit of
sympathy. There is hate, chagrin,
fear, spite, vascillation and last but
not least, a mental reservation in her
attitude toward the peace treaty
and the signing of that document.
We are inclined to believe that the
junkers even now think Of 1t as a
"scrap of paper, though careful
not to voice their sentiment. They
only await the moment when it. can
be safely scrapped.
At this late date Germany still
seems to be working desperately for
time and more time. That the vari-
GUS men who have been named to
sign the treaty for Germany should
show unwillingness to affix their
names to a document which 80 humil-
iates Germany is natural but that
does not seem to be sufficient ex-
PLANTATION. The most reasonable
thing is to suppose that it is an
other ruse to put off the final mo
ment.
But in the end Germany will sign.
Then she must be watched, as has
been pointed out by the Tiger of
France, Clemenceau. Every gesture
of the Huns indicates that they are
not to be trusted. Their word is of
no value. The very signing of the
treaty will mean nothing to the
Germans, but it will bring a modi-
eum of stability to the rest of the
world and that, after all, is the most

however, goes back to the sixteenth

FANTOM LIMBS.

When man at one end OF a tele-
phone-line hears voice he, assumes
that it comes from the other end, re.
gardless of the fact that the house
at that end may have been burned to
the ground and a Connection made
at some halfway point. Similarly,
when a nerve brings report to the
brain, the brain takes it as news
from the nerve terminal, regardless
of the fact that the original terminal
may be gone and the real origin of
the message may be at some other
point. So when an arm or a leg
has been amputated, any disturbance
or irritation of nerve that once
ended in finger or toe feels as if it
came from that non-existent member.
All these facts are familiar to those
who come in contact with them, and
have given rise to many tales and
superstitions. Says an editorial
writer in The Scientific American,
(New York, May ~:
"There are certain scientific top
les which seem to be endowed with
perpetual youth, in the sense that
whenever they are broached, in popu-
lar if not in scientific circles, they
are invested with an air Of novelty.
"This remark is suggested by an
article in a recent number of we'll
known Italian journal. The author
describes the case of a man whose
entire left leg has been amputated,
but who nevertheless complains of an
itching under the sole of the left
foot, besides other definitely local
lied sensations in the missing men,
Der.
eve find this article noteworthy,
tho not for the reason that, presum-
ably, prompted its publication. The
hideous toll of war has lately involv-
ed the mutilation Of human beings
on an unprecedented scale.
'Now, it is a fact, perhaps unfa-
miiar to the average reader, that the
illusion of 'fantom limbs'-to borrow
a felicitous expression from DR.. Weir
Mitchell-far from being rare or ex-
ceptional, is almost universal among
persons who have undergone an am
putation. Among ninety cases, in
Guiding a great variety of amputa-
tions, Mitchell found only four in
which there had never been an illus
ion of this kind. Therefore it is a
matter of some interest, not that a
single example of the phenomenon
has recently been reported in sin
gle publication, but that the popu-
lar magazines and the newspapers

mile before he got to the house, and
he had worked up an appetite which
would stand no trifing. When he

ALCOHOL AND CRIME.

Of $500 prisoners in the Indiana
state prison, 2,075 drink to excess,
and only It's are abstainers. This
is one of the results Of a survey
made IN the psychopathic laboratory
of the prison by DR.. Paul E. Bowers.
The report of the survey, printed
first in the Journal of Delinquency
(January), is now issued in separate
form. 1t occupies some forty-fve
pages, of which only about three are
devoted to the section relating to al
cohol. DR.. Bowers is not so sure as
some of our readers may be that his
figures prove that alcohol drove
these two thousand men to commit
crime. Criminals, he says, are al
most always neurasthenic, and this
condition also creates the alcoholic
thirst. Possibly denial of alcohol,
while it would have made them So
ber, would not have affected their
criminal propensities. And yet the
adoption of prohibition in a state has
often been accompanied by a nota-
BILE decrease in the prison popula-
tion. DR.. Bowers says on this point:
"It will never be possible to say
accurately just how much crime is
due to drinking. Large numbers of
prisoners are dissomaniacs; they
possess neurophatic organizations; to
them drinking is an expression Of
their defect, a contributing factor to
their crimes rather than the imme-
diate one. The disastrous effects of
the narcotic, alcohol, on the brain
and central nervous system are to
be seen every day throughout the
civilized world. Acute alcoholic in
toxication or the ordinary form of
drunkenness, from a psychological
viewpoint, is but a transitory form
of insanity. Both psychologists and
jurists have properly, however, main
tanned distinction between those
mental disturbances produced
by the direct inhibition of alcoholic
liquids, and which cease in a few
hours after the imbition ceases, and
those mental arrangements and hal
fluctuations that may continue for
days, weeks, or months after all use
of alcohol has ceased
"The exact relationship that alco-
hol bears to crime is problematical
and can not with mathematical pre-
cision be determined. Prison authori-
ties, and especially prison surgeons,
know that many prisoners, in order
to excuse overt acts, readily attrib-
ute their crimes to temporary states
of drunkenness. Therefore, statistics
on alcoholism from penal institutions
and reformer are to be taken cum
grano sails, for they are more or less
inaccurate.
"The usual answer that I received
from prisoners, during my examina-
tion of them, concerning the cause
of their crimes, is generally one of
this sort: Il was drunk; I did not
know what I was doing; I may or
may not be guilty; can not remem-
ber."- "-Literary Digest.

Refused Miss Ranger Aid
Stamford Lawyer Says He Was
Consulted in VIII Case

Edward j. Kencaly, son Of the late
Michael j. Kenealy, former chairman Of
the Connecticut Republican Committee,
was the principal witness yesterday
against Miss Edith +. Ranger. She is
on tral before Justice Davis, in the Su-
preme Court, charged with substituting
a carbon copy Of a fictitious will Of her
brother, Henry Ward Ranger, the land
scapc artist. Mr. Kenealy practises
law in Stamford, Conn, and is clerk of
the Connecticut Senate.
The witness said he refused to have
anything to do with the matter, and
told Miss Ranger plan she proposed
TO him was exceedingly dangerous for
everybody concerned. He said he ad-
viscd her to try to obtain an annuity
from the National Academy of Design,
to which the bulk of the estate was
bcqueathed, on the ground that she
was next Of kin and was entitled to
something. The case will be continued
to- day. =.
