eel his engagement at the New
York City Philharmonic concert in
July and possibly a proposed ma
tional tour in the fall.
He was last heard here a month
ago as a soloist with the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra.
A native of Vienna, Mr.. Kreisler
became gloomy over the future of
Austria after the rise of the NaZis
and changed to French citizenship
two years ago. He remarked in an
interview last fall: 1T seems that
now I am living from day to day,
from hour to hour"
Once forced to interrupt his con-
cert engagements because of war
hysteria in 1918, Mr.. Kreisler was
bitterly affected by the present
conflict.
Beauty Itself Destroyed
Beauty itself is being destroyed" +"
he said six months ago. You lose
all balance. You feel that life
itself is not worth living. The de-
Struction is always closing in upon
you. But music will outlive the
hate. Nothing can hurt art"
A musician from childhood. Mr..
krelsler won the first prize for
violinists at the Vienna Conserva-
tory when he was 10. Two years
later at Paris he won the Premier
Prlx de Rome, an almost unprece-
dented achievement.
His first tour of America was in
1889 with the pianist Moritz
Rosentkal. In the half century since
he has become one of the most
popular concert artists here, Mr..
Kreisler won both mass approval
and critical acclaim.
Mr.. Kreisler studied medicine in
Paris and art in Paris and Rome
and served as an officer in the Aus
trian Army in the World War, fight
ing at the front in 1914-15. He was
ridden down by Russian Cossacks at
the first battle of Lemberg, and was
given a leave of absence in which
he resumed his concert work in the
United States.
Also Noted as Composer.
Subsequently he wrote of his war
experience in -Four Weeks in the
Trenches-the War Story of a Vio-
linist." He branded the World War
as unjustifiable.
Mr.. Kreisler also is we'll known
as composer. His better known
works include Romance" Caprice
Viennois," "Tambourin Chinois, -
"Recitativo and Scherzo Caprice" /"
"Berceuse Romantique," 'Rodino"
on theme of Beethoven, Poll
chinelle, La Gitana and Aucassin
and Nicolette.
He also has written a comic opera,
Apple Blossoms, a string quartet
and number of compositions imi-
tating the works of great pre-
classical composers. Revelation that
Mr.. Kreisler was the author and
not merely the arranger of these
pieces created a stir in musical cir
cles in 1885.

Increase in Stomach
Ulcers Predicted
As Result OF War
Rise Probably Due to
Emotional Upsets,
DR.. OverhoIser Says
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The present war promises to bring
an enormous increase in stomach
ulcers, DR.. Winfred Overholser, head
of the National Research Councils
committee on neuropsychiatric
problems associated with national
defense, says on the basis of reports
just received from Great Britain
and Canada.
Approximately 25 per cent of the
Canadian officers and soldiers who
have returned from overseas have
gastric ulcers, DR.. Overholser, su-
perintendent of st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital here, told the st. Elizabeth's
Medical Society at its annual meet
ing yesterday. Ulcers now are the
most prevalent cause of disability.
During the World War they ranked
tenth.
The increase probably is due en-
tirely, DR.. Overholser said, to emo
tional upsetS to which the men are
subjected. 1t long has been known
that stomach ulcers may be psyche
genic," he said. This constitutes the
most notable new psychiatric de-
velopment of the conflict.
Number of Ailments Small.
Otherwise, he pointed out, the
number OF outright nervous and
mental ailments developing in Great
Britain is unbelievably small, con-
sidering the stresses to which the
population is subjected.
Early in the war, DR.. Oberholzer
explained, the British medical serv-
ices held long consultations with
DR.. Mirat, noted Spanish psychia-
trist, who had been chief psychia-
uric officer of the Loyalist forces
during the civil war. On the basis
OF his advice, a great many nerv-
Gus and mental breakdowns were
expected, and many hospitals were
set up to give them immediate
treatment. These have gone large
ly unused.
Among the things DR.. Mirat told
the British was that bombing in
itself was not nearly so prolific a
producer of nervous disorders as
malnutrition. This has been ia
ken into account in reinforced foods
provided the population. 1t also was
stressed in conferences with the
Spanish authority that civilians de-
veloped mental and nervous diseases
more easily than soldiers because
they felt themselves in a more help
less position. The very possession
of a gun acted on the subcon-
sciousness of the soldier.
War Work AntidOte.
AS an antidote for this, according
to advices DR.. Oberholzer has Just
received from United States Pub
lie Health officers in England, a
systematic attempt is being made
to keep everybody busy at some
war activity, even if it is essen
TALLY worthless so far as defense is
concerned.
The development of the stomach
ulcers, it was explained, might be
considered as a 1941 version of
shell shock"
Newer methods of analyzing
brain waves" in an effort to de-
tect differences which might prove
useful in diagnosing different types
OF insanity were described by DR..
Robert Cohn of the st. Elizabeth's
staff. Studies in the development of
psychiatric children were described
by DR.. Helen Yarnell of Bellevue
Hospital, New York City. DR.. Ralph
j. Haws told of 18 years of ex-
perience as a surgeon at st. Eliza
beth's.

he already had received number
of applications for such volunteer
service since the first announce
ment of the plan was received re-
Gently from Mr.. Bane.
Defense council committees, here
and elsewhere are now perfectlng
fire defense and emergency police
mobilization programs. Bulletins
on these subjects are to be released
by the Division of State and Local
Cooperation. They are expected to
cover other aspects of civilian de-
fense such as protective construc-
ton, afraid protection for the in
dividual, medical care and SANTA
ton, AFRAID warning systems,
blackouts and defense against chem
ical warfare" according to bulle-
tin from Mr.. Bane.
Two Types of Volunteers.
Two types of volunteers for civil
ian duty are sought by the Air
Corps: Men beyond draft age or
unfit for combat duty, to give part
time service as outside observers,
and fairly young men and women,
who are comparatively free of FAM
lily obligations, for inside duty, for
full time, if that should become
necessary.
The volunteer observers. it was
stated, would be stationed at ap-
propriate locations, both in and
outside cities and would be trained
in observing and reporting move
ments of raiding aircraft in given
areas. All observers would report
to filter units" which would elm
mate non-essential information and
transmit important reports to an
information center" There, the
reports would be studied and plotted
graphically so that calculations
could be made for interception of
invading bombers by pursuit air
craft.

1000, 900 New Workers
