FRAUD IN SHELL SHOCK.

The soldier who poses as an invalid
n a show no wounds is due to
nave q hard time of 1t. A lot of frauds
are certain to try to capitalize the SOL
dier sentiment. Men have already tried
to put over fraudulent schemes on II
strength OF their wounds who, when put
to the test, were found to have no
Wounds. Most of them were not even
eoldiers. though some were. It will not
be long before the frauds Will find that
their old methods were crude, but that
they can claim shell shock or war neu-
srosis and come nearer getting away
with 1t. The ordinary layman will
trust his own judgment abou frac-
lures. burns, and POUNDS visible to the
eye, but he may give the fellow the
benefit of the doubt when he claims
shell o or war neurosis.
But the clouds are gathering. never
theless. The authorities have said Of
ficially that the term shell shock is not
to be used. 1t is alliterative and catchy.
easily remembered and impressive. but
1t is nothing but q bag OF wind. Some
OF them say shell shock Is nothing but
hysteria. No soldier or even any pre-
tended soldier van to claim a disease
IN such bad repute as hysteria. 1t sug-
gests skirts.
Others say shell shock is nothing but
rear. l imagine the soldiers will not
1eel like being tagged With a disease
which Is synonymous with fear. That
sounds worse than skirts.
Others put it in a still different way:
For instance, Frederick w. Parsons
says in the Atlantic Monthly: 'There
are many causes for a war neurosis
tshell shock is a war neurosis), but the
foundation Of all Is a difficult situation.
This difficulty may range all the way
from q lack Of courage to tia slight
ft'HSeainS gofsiaavanx BEEN. unfairly debit
with in q man who has given many
examples OF personal courage
The man IL in any one Of a hundred
difficult, unpleasant situations, and he
develops the form Of hysteria known on
the street as shell shock as a way Of
escape. In most instances the trouble
ID q lack Of personal courage, but 1t il
OF the wrong type-as, for instance, q
man written about who could, not go
over the top because of c~owardice, but
@ho When transferred to service as q
stretcher bearer -was.decorated for. dis.
tnguished bravery.
In many war neuros!s seems the only
way out OF q. situation which ie. irri.
Eating, but which has nothing to dc
With lack OF courage. And some of the
supposed she'll shock fellows are just
tfauds who are working the game be-
cause 1t is an easy one to get away
with.

The Ministers Fee.

A minister was called upon to marry
q couple, and after the ceremony was
performed the bridegroom handed him
q pair of kid gloves. He thought this
q strange fee for q wedding ceremony,
and said so when he reached home and
told his wife to lay them away.
A long time afterwards he needed a
new pair of gloves and asked his wife
for the pair the young man had given
him.
When he tried TO put them on he
found he could not, and upon examina-
ton found that each finger contained d
neatly folded So bill.

MARSHAL F0CH TELLS STORY OF
YAhkS' "FINAL EFFORT"

/ Marshal Foch has given TO the
magazine France-Amerique a concise
statement Of the final effort of the
American forces in France. Its val
he lies in its military clearness and
brevity. 1t summarizes better than
anything hitherto published in the
high idea which the Allied Supreme
Command holds regarding Americas
rart in the war.
ION March H. says Marshal Foch.
The American Army in France num-
kered only 100000 men or six infan-
thy divisions. They were in training.
Thirty. thousand were arriving Der
month. On March 21st the German
offensive began at the junction of
the Allied Armies in the region of
st. Quentin. The enemy soon reached
the river Scarpe and advanced up to
the Somme, which he crossed. and
descended to the valley of the Disc.
The situation was suddenly very SER
ious
ION this critical day. March 2Sth,
Generals Pershing and Bliss came and
generously offered to lead their divi-
sions into battle, both saying to me,
we are here to be killed. Let us go
in with our troops
Soon afterward, on April 25, at
Sarcus, We met the same Generals.
On May End, at Abbeville, in agree
ment with the Allied Governments,
we asked the American Government
to send to France each month 1907
600 infantrymen or machine gunners
and complementary troops. AS a
matter Of fact America sent us in
March $4,000 men, in April $4,000,
in May 100000, in June 245,O00, in
July $4,000, and in August 1885,
600.
THE American electives went
from 100000 on March II to 954,-
900 in July and 100000 in October.
Moreover, on June 2, the Superior
War Council at Versailles had asked
President Wilson to continue the
same transport Of troops from 2O0,-
900 to 100000 men a month, and

Cultivation In Burma.

We who think Of Burma as in India
must modify our ideas considerably.
AS matter Of fact 1t lies outside the
Indian region, and owes its connection
mainly to its recent history, for as
will be recalled Burma was conquered
at the expense Of India, and In a great
measure by the Indians who assisted
In garrisoning, policing and construct
ing it's public works. Without this aid
Burma's annexation and government
would have been exceedingly difncult,
for back in the hills Of the Irrawaddy
valley basin there are still wild tribes
scarcely emerged from conditions of
savagery, whose chief aim in life until
recently was the. practice of inter-
tribal conflicts and head-hunting. It is
to these people the Burmese are con-
