CARES FOR MANY

Rhoda is dead and buried. We
asked through the papers if some one
didn't feel like giving us another
mule, but no one showed Up with a
mule to give US. Lots Of mules are
for sale around here, but people paid
big price for them and they expect
as much for them as they paid. So
we went to a mule dealer and pur-
chased a good mule cheaper than we
could get one locally Of course we
did not have the money, so We were
froced to get one of our friends TO
fix paper so that we could discount
it at the bank and get it.
We received six applications last
week tina; we do not consider in our
class, so we do not count them, but
seven came from Rock Hill that are
in our class.

WORST CASUALTIES OF WORLD
WAR JUST SHOWING

indianapolis, Ind, June 3.-The
worst casualties suffered by American
soldiers during the world war are
just bebinning to show themselves.
By contrast troops wounded on the
battlefelds are lucky compared with
the greatly increased casualties Of
today, according to C. f. Harris, an
official of the American legion's head
quarters here, in charge of eX-soldier
claims against the government.
There is an average Of two ex-sol-
der suicides a day, Mr.. Harris de-
clares following study of reports.
These men, Mr.. Harris finds, almost
without exception were in the battle
lines in France. These soldiers, the
legion official contends, were dis
charged by army doctors as normal.
Since the war, however, these men,
struggling for living, have under
gone mental anguish that their war-
racked nerves could not withstand.
There are two ways in which the
legion hopes to minister to these
mental cases and to prevent their in
crease, Mr.. Harris points out. The
Langley bill, now law, provides ST.
100000 for the construction of new
hospitals. The largest portion of the
money is to be spent in creating IA
cilities for treating the neuropsy-
chiatrics, mental patients. The. le-
gion is also preparing to petition con-
gress to iberalize the present Sweet
bill. This bill now makes it impossi-
bic for an ex-soldier to obtain gov
ernment treatment for W&r injuries
which show up more thar TWO years
after discharge from service. The
legion contends that it might easily
be FIVE years after discharge before
Injurious physical and mental effects
of his service would appear!
Mr.. Harris further charges that the
United States Veterans bureau, in
charge Of the treatment and rehabil-
itation of the World wars disabled, is
in error concerning the gravity OF the
neuro-psychiatric sufferers. A recent
Veterans bureau report shows that
the bureaus total capacity for treat
ment of neuro-psychiatric cases is
5000 beds. Mr.. Harris says he has
reports from legion liaison represen-
tatives in each Of the bureaus IA re-
gional districts to show that in four
of the IA districts alone there are
24,566 mental cases on record. These
four districts include West Virginia.
District of Columbia, Virginia, Tenn
essee, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Nebraz-
ka, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Washing
ton, Oregon, and Idaho. Of The num-
ber 2,119 are being treated III gov
ernment hospitals and 996 IL con-
tract institutions.
The Veterans bureau reports bu;
1928 service men in the entire Unit
ed States undergoing treatment for
mental disorder in government insti-
tutions.
The legigon is asking the coopera-
ton of the public in its effort prop
erly to protect post-bellum she'll
shock cases. Mr.. Harris says that
friends and relatives should be quick
to report an ex-soldier who shows
signs of mental disorder, and to III
duce him to submit to an examination
and treatment.
