SOLDIER INSANITY
STARTLES HOUSE
Representative Kindred Gives
Staggering Figures and
Tells of Needs.

The staggering number of former
service men suffering from nervous
diseases and insanity, who must be
cared for adequately by the govern
ment in the disqualification and social
service work which is being planned.
was impressed upon House members
today in speech by representative
John J. Kindred Of the second New
York district. who is recognized
authority on neuro- pSy chiatric cases.
The immediate ard urgent demand
for adequate hospital facilities for
such wards of the government in
proper environment was stressed by
Representative Kindred as the great
est present duty of the nation toward
those who went forward under the
lag. and said that such care would
be the best guarantee of properly
spirited American Army in the next
emergency.
There were 74500 men SUFFERING G
with nervous diseases and insanity
discharged from the Army and Navy,
DR.. Kindred said. There were also
l,900 under treatment. This record
in August. 1919. indicates the 1nagui-
tude Of the demand on the United
States government by its neuro-p psy-
chiatric wards. These are increasing
according to DR.. Kindred. at the rate
of 1000 per month. and the peak will
not be reached for several years to
come.

LEASING Of COAL
DUMPS DEFENDED
Board of Trade Holds Small
Dealer Could Not AS
sumo Costs.

The Washington Board of Trade
does not a.gre with the grand jury in
its report, submitted recently to the
District Supreme Court, that high coal
prices in the District in part are due
to failure of the railroads to ma intain
here trestle dumps for delivery of
carload lots Of coal so that small con-
sumers may buy direct from the
mines.
The grand jury found that the rail
roads lease their terminal facilities
to the large coal dealers and reported
that it considered this practice "eN-
ceedinsly detrimental to the consum-
ing public.
Holds Method Economical
After an exhaustive investi cation of
the situation by it's committee on in
dustrial relations. of which William
g. Johnson is chairman. the Board of
Trade has taken the position. ON
recommendation of the committee,
that the present method of delivering
coal in Washington is an economical
one and makes for cheaper prices
than otherwise would obtain.
1t is stated in the report that the
railroads cannot afford to furnish and
maintain trestlr dumps for n business
with small tonnage and that small
dealers ana iNulN ltu3l consumers can
not afford TO lease or maintain such
facilities.
Attention also is directed to the
fact that the railroads, desiring. to
provide for the small dealers, rented
four of the tr-stle-dums to wholesale
dealers. namely. the ConSOlida tion
Coal Company. Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Fuel Company. Standard Coal
Company and Fadeiey & Company.
Lays Blame to Lack Of Coal.
1--WE find continued the report.
that wholesalers who have dumps
sell to the large and small dealers,
and to those who have treStle dumps
as well as those who have not, and
the latter, with the facilities and stock
of the wholesaler at his command are
in a position to compete in price with
the large dealers, who assume the
overhead expense of trestle coal
dump, and the outlay in stocking
same"
In conclusion, the report says Wash
ington is equipped with trestle coal
dumps equal to any other city of its
size. and that the conditions which
caused SO much anxiety here with
consumers of coal were not due to
lack'of facilities, but. on the contrary
to Il lack of coal supply.

Long Treatment Required,

About $1,000 Of these are expected to
receive hospital treatment: that is. beds
must be provided for them. DR. Kindred
said. during the next few decades. Mod
ern. spacious hospitals are to be pro-
vded. supplying $500 additional beds at
q cost Of about $33, ,000, 900 in the United
States. These are to be distributed in
fourteen hospital districts. with superior
equipment and methods for care and
treatment.
A complete hospital system, including
pSychopa.thic wards and out pa tient de-
partments in connection with main units
of federal. state and municipal hospitals
is to be established. DIR. Kindred says
The administration Of the federal
neuro- o-psychiatric service should reside
in a bureau of soldier rehabilitation to
be newly created by Congress with ju-
riSdicton over all the departments for
disqualification and care of ex-service
men, and this should have an advisory
board consisting of five specialists of
national reputation. as advisers, Dr.
Kindred told his colleagues.
Each of the fourteen hospital dis
tricts. in charge Of a medical district
supervisor. should have competent
consultantS and efficient nursing
staffS. Such complete hospital sys-
TEN and administration would rapidly
relieve present urgent needs of neuro-
psychiatric wards of the government.

COUNCIL DECIDES
TO DIVIDE DIOCESE

Sumter, May 19.-The 131st an
nual council Of the Diocese of South
Carolina adjourned today after COM
pleting all the work before it. Be
fore final adjournment, upon invita-
tion of the Rev. S. Cary Beekwith, of
St. Philips's church, it was decided
to meet in Charleston next year, the
invitation being accepted by unanl-
NOUS vote of the council.
The most important matter decided
at the final session was the adoption
of the recommendation of the diocese
committee that the diocese be divided
into two sections. A minority report
was also filed and, after much discus
sion and debate, the council decided
in favor of the division. In the event
the division is finally consummated
Bishop Guerry vii. continue to have
jurisdiction over lower South Carolina
while Bishop Coadjutor Finlay will
be elevated to the bishopry Of upper
South Carolina.
Before the adjournment Bishop
Guerry made few remarks on the
division of the diocese. He stated
that he viewed the division with a
measure of regret, for the diocese of
South Carolina was an historic or
ganizatien and dear to his heart. He
did not doubt the wisdom of the coun-
ell in the action taken, as the question
had been long agitated. He only
hoped that by a division that the
church could grow and that new life
and vigor be put into church work
once the organization gets to func-
tioning.
