gether could well be found than that
manifest in the present American sojourn
of DR.. Adolf Lorenz, of Vienna, world-famed
for his well-nigh miraculous achievements
in bloodless surgery. DR.. Lorenz, if he were
so minded, could obtain amongst the
wealthy practice that would send him
home surprisingly rich. But refusing such
cases, he spends Ills time and skill in charity
hospitals, doing what he can for malformed
children of the poor. He could not accept
money, he maintains, without transgressing
i not defeating the prime purpose of his
mission, which is to express simple graft
tude to the American people for what they
have done tu relieve the want and suffering
of his own country's children and to bind
ogether again ties of friendship which var
discovered.
By the spirit that shines through this
great physician will the worlds woes be
healed and human brotherhood be trans
lated from vision to fact. Much is heard to-
day of internationalism, of policies and
plans to bring governments anu the peoples
into closer coworking, of treaties, leagues,
associations; and assuredly all efforts, from
least to largest, in the cause of wider good
will amongst men are to be admired and up
held. But internatfonalism, though it
speak with tongues of statesmen and philoso-
phers, can never wax more impressive, more
persuasive thai in the gesture of this Aus
trian scientist ministering to the. children Of
the american poor: The one great liberal
ism, after all, is that of human sympathy
which all men, all nations stand in need Of
and which all can bestow. Whatever quick

statesmans great word" or simple kindly
greeting to stranger in a strange land:
whether high mission of science, of art,
OF relglon, or fostering of goodwill
amongst quiet lives. History is but the

ROOTS OF OBSESSION
BY H. Addington Bruce

vAM asked why it is that certain people,
/ hitherto of quite normal mentality, sud-
- denly become obsessed by irrational
fears or by irresistible impulses to behave
oddly, perhaps criminal1y.
Thus we find kleptomania, an Irresistible
impulse to steal, developing in a person
previously honest And we see other persons
overwhelmed by absurd dreads perhaps OF
being alone in closed room, perhaps OF
contracting some disease, perhaps of going
outdoors alone.
Answering the inquiry as to the causes OF
these obsessions, I might content myself
with pointing out, in the first place, that as
a rule they trouble only people who nave
recently been under some unusual mental
or physical strain; and, in the second place,
that when they take the form Of irrational
fears they are the sequel to happenings
which might logically give rise to such fears
A woman, let us say, develops an IRA
tional fear Of crowds. She can give no rea-
son for having such fear. But psychological
examination of the subconscious contents OF
her mind shows that once she tainted in a
crowd, and that what she is afraid OF is
that she may once more faint if she goes
into crowded place.
To relieve such a woman Of her irration-
al fear all that may be necessary is to re-
call to her conscious memory the forgotten
incident of the fainting, and to make clear
it's connection with her present fear. But
though this procedure may cure her, can IL
be said that it really goes to the root OF her
obsesson?
For there are many women who having
tainted once or possibly more than once IN
a crowd are never troubled thereafter by an
irrational fear Of crowds. And similarly most
people endure severe menta. or physical
strains without developing obsess1ve I'M
pulses as consequence. Some addltlonai
factor must be reckoned with.
That factor, the best medical opinion holds,
Is twofold. It consists in an Unborn nervous
weakness, aggravated by faulty training IN
childhood.
Study the early histories Of victims OF OBJ
session and It will usually be found that as
children they were exceptionally sensitive
and emotional, and that no real effort was
made to develop in them powers OF self-con-
troll. AS an inevitable consequence they grew
up psychical1y "soft," and perhaps unduly
self-centered as we'll.
Had they been reared as they should have
been-with a loving but firm hand, treated
neither with undue strictness nor with I'M
due 1axity-their native nervous weakness
might have been completely overcome. Ger
tainly at all events, the chances or their
later being afflicted with morbid breads or
impu1ses would have been reduced almost
to zero.
So that in a word, when obsessions 40
appear one must look far back to ascertain
their origins, and these origins are otten
found in failure in character Development
Indeed, it frequently happens that obsesslons
resist all treatment until character training
is undertaken akin to that the obsessed ones
should have received when they were young.

French Army
The strength of Frances army was given
as $4,000 as of October by the report
of the army commission to the chamber of
deputies, made public in connection with
the governments proposed law calling the
class of 1922 to the co1ors in two contin-
gents, one next May and the other next No

Although no official figures are available,
the report said a considerable part of the
class Of 1919 had returned to their homes
on crop furloughs or on indefinite leave,
making the active forces in uniform go 900
or upwards, with thu balance subject to i'm
mediate recall.
The army commission estimates that the
government plan, which is recommended for
adoption. would through the release of va
rious contfngents of the class of 1920 and
the Incorporation of the class of 1922 dur
ing next year, give strength of 649,O00
men in the spring. t,
Next years class allowing for exemptions,
is estimated by the commission at 100000.
The present French army, the report says, is
of 591 900 whites, $4,000 natives
Of North Africa and 1000 natives Of other
colonies and foreigners.
