FIRST REPORTS EXAGGERATED Dr. Dumas, Who Has Treated All Cases of Msptal Trouble In One of French Armies, Describes Queer Il lusions of Demented—Cases of Gen eral Paralysis Few. Baris.—The war lias not driven mad so many persons as was expected In the early stages. Statistics thus far show that the first reports of men going crazy under the infernal fire of modern artillery were exaggerated. A report made by Dr. Dumas, who has treated all the cases of mental trouble In one of the French armies, covers 1,188 cases of derangement, of which only 3V. per cent were cases of general paralysis, while in most asylums in time of peace the propor tion is 15 per cent This lie takes as conclusive evidence that the fatigues and commotions of war have no in fluence upon the development of this form of insanity. General paralytics, however, when they become delirious, rave about the war, the same as cases in which the symptoms are quite differ ent, and Dr. Dumas concludes that the life of the combatant often simply gives a war color to delirium that would have existed under normal cir cumstances, but in a different form. Horror inspired by battle scenes sometimes works directly on the nerv ous system, developing symptoms such as hysteria, speechlessness, deafness, loss of the sense of feeling, fits of men tal confusion or paralysis, not always accompanied by hallucinations or de lirium. Optimism of the most exagger ated type is the dominating note in the hallucinations of the paralytics, and Dr. Dumas considers It a wonder that officers do not in fits of exaltation give absurd heroic orders that lead to disas ters In one case a lieutenant who de clared to the doctor that he had “clean ed out a German trench with two ma chine guns that he had carried on his back from a i>int several miles in the rear” had remained in command of his section until forty-eight hours before lie was examined. A few days later a captain was brought to Dr. Dumas fresh from the command of his com pany suffering from an equally radical fit of “exaggerated optimism.” A considerable number of tiie men tally debilitated have the mania of in vention. Dr. Dumas is of the opinion that the number of those cases outside the army would be found greater in proportion if the minister of munitions could make public the correspondence he receives from civilians. Among the debilitated were several men and offi cers who didn't know where and for whom they had been fighting. One de clared that he was unaware that France was at war. NATIVE HAWAIIAN INDUSTRIES. To Be Revived and Developed In Re cently Established Village. Honolulu.—The island of Hawaii has set aside at a point near Hilo, the chief city and seaport, a large area of forest land for the purpose of a unique public park.

The Hawaiian village will show the olden time grass houses, which will be inhabited by carefully selected Ha waiian*. Here will be made the iau hala bats and mats, together with the beautiful koa bowls and vessels for which the Islands were famous. BEAR CUBS CAUGHT. Gentle ae Puppies After Their Mother Was Driven Away. Fstacada, Ore.—Fred Bannister of Estacada returned recently from a trip In the interests of the forestry depart ment near Cary's Hot Springs, on the Upper Clackamas river, bringing with him two brown bear cubs. These cubs are about three months old and were captured by Bannister after the mother bear had been driven off and the youngsters allowed to climb a tall tree Temporarily the animals, which are as gentle as puppies, will l>e kept in Estacada, where they are fnni!hlt.g much amusement for young and old.

A little news which may Interest m. Private Peters of the eighth squad look ed as though he needed a hath, so the boys threw him Into the watering trough. Just think, twenty-three of us may go for an automobile ride, provided we get 50 cents. Ali the boys in camp are rather restless waiting to seize some Mexicans along the border. Private Strand has gained three pounds since ho came here Private lvares sits up all night writing letters, and Private Tollefsen is now tak ing his beauty sleep, being 1 p. m.

IMPATIENT NATION Guatemala, Mexico’s Southern Neighbor, Suffers From Raids. BIG LOSS BY DEPREDATIONS. Northern Border of Country Attached at Intervale, and Valuable Storea of Chicle Ara Taken and Readily Sold to Nearby Dealera, Who Ship to United Statee. Guatemala City.—The people of the republic of Guatemala, Mexico's neigh bor to the south, are about as nearly out of patience with the Carranza gov ernment as are those of the United States. The depredations along tha northern liorder of this country, which began as soon as Carranza found him self accepted by the American govern ment as a real ruler, have continued at Intervals ever since. The damage suffered by the citizens living on the frontier has not been so great as that Inflicted on Americans along the Texas, Arizona and New Pit SSI I>BNT KHTUAHA AltllEHA. Mexico liorder, liecause the dividing line Is much shorter and the country Is less thickly settled The tactics against Americans, how ever, seem to he the same as those em ployed In lhe north—the quick raid upon some Isolated and unprotected hamlet, the shooting of a few lnoffeu Hive and liniinued ;ienplc. the looting and the hurried get away. Although the Carranza government has steadily disclaimed all res|Kiiislhll- Ity for these Incursions and has placed the responsibility upon the omnipres ent bandits, enough evidence has been collected by government agents to show that many of the attacks were participated In by men known to he Carranza partisans maintaining a loose sort of military organization. Among the few Americans In the northern part of Guatemala these at tacks by Mexicans are simiUou of as “chewing gum raids." In almost every case, particularly along the frontier of the department of I‘eten, the object of the maurauders Is steal the lubori ously obtained and Valuable stores of chicle from which chewing gutu is made and for which the forests* of Petm are famous. The chicle tiiuls a ready market among dealers near by and Is shipped out of the country ns a Mexican prod uct. usually to the Unltinl States. A trip through the Interior of the com try Is sufficient to convince the traveler that the republic was never lu a more peaceful cond' ton. The only revolutionary efforts that have been discovered have been those of Mexi cans. most of whom are known to he In Carranza's pay. These gentlemen have been promptly deported. United States sliver dollars In the district between Guatemala City and Puerto Ilarrlos, the Atlantic port, are much more In evidence than they are along ltrondwav. No one seems to le able to explain the Influx of coins, but they are welcomed, and the tattered money of the republic Is a had second In popularity. Only second in Importance to the business boom among all classes is the effective solution of the high cost of living problem. Bread forms the most Iti nortaut part of the people's food, and bread hus been steadily rising In price on account of the confol of the grist mills by a few large syndicates. President Kstra dn Cabrer.i called a halt on this by na tlonaltzlng all the water powers of the country, setting up mills and leasing them under suitable regulations. These mills cut the price of bread, aud the syndicate, unable to compete with them by using steam power, found their grip on the pantry of the repub lic brokeu. Fiah Yields Diamond Ring.

Francis Hummel, professor of Ger man at the Curtis high school, Staten Island, was observed the other day on a ferryboat that was conveying Tvoop F on Its way to Van Cortlandt park. The observer was a girl, a former pupil—surprised to see the professor in a private's uniform of the United States service. She had known him os a champion of the kaiser’s cause. “Why, Herr Hummel," she said with ■mlllng eyes, “you astonish me! I could only think of you In a German uniform, fighting, as you have frequently spoken of doing, for the fatherland.’' The professor did not smile. He said with gravity: “Yes, my dear young lady, I had thought that never would I fight for any '•ountry but the fatherland. Yet you see, I have two children born In America. And the other day I saw one of them as I sat on my porch, and she was happy and healthy—full of life playing about the lawn. “As she romped she held an Ameri can flag. She waved it in full happi ness and triumph. I said to myself then: ‘lf that flag Is good enough for my children to live under It is good enough for me to fight for.’ I promptly enlisted."
