"For example." the memorial said, "in the Longview asylum of Hamilton county, Ohio, there are 42 gallant soldiers who broke down mentally under the stress of war, although Longview is so overcrowded that 240 of the inmates sleep on the floor like cattle every night." ?Of the 250 mentally disabled, placed j in all the institutions of the state, of 1 whom, it was said, physicians believe ihalf might be cured by treatment, not ? one the memorial asserted was receiving "medical treatment of any kind for | their mental diseases and curable (cases are being daily doomed to per! manent insanity."

The Xeue Hepliner Kcitung tells how an audience in the ,Bn*-arian capital fairly raised the roof in objecting to the American background and American natpes being used in a new theatrical production.
