Hurray Auer of Philadelphia Say "Trtwch Dreamt" of the Weunded Bare Horror of Modern Battles. Philadelphia. That the horrors of trench warfare, with its sudden alarms at night, the bursting of shells and the burying of men by mine explosions, have a lasting effect on the men who undergo them is the conclusion reached by Dr. B. Murray Auer of Philadelphia, Pa., who for some time was attached to the Twenty-second General hospital of the British expe ditionary force, "somewhere in France." In a paper which was read recently before the Philadelphia Neurological society, and which appears in the cur rent issue of the Medical Record, Doc tor Auer gives tho results of his ob servations. In practically all of the cases which were observed by Doctor Auer the sol diers received no appreciable physical injury, the effect being purely mental. One such instance cited by the phy sician was found in a boy; nineteen years old. This boy had been for three days under a sustained and heavy shell fire. At the end of that time he was threatened by; his ser geant with courtmartial for sleeping while on sentry duty. This led to an examination and the sending of the boy to the hospital. He was in a stu por for ten days. The same was true of another soldier who had 'seen his chum blown to pieces. During the time of their coma, which in some cases lasted more than a week, the soffiiers gave the impres sion that they again were living through the experiences which had caused the stupor to come on. This was evidenced by their terrified ex pressions. They crouched, started and stared wildly when spoken to. One such man rose from his bed in the middle of the night and recited in a one-sided conversation his experience of a charge and burial by a mine ex plosion, and then relapsed into his stuporous state. Another result of shock, according to Doctor Auer's observations, is a continued shaking of the entire body, accompanied by various pains and un usually severe headaches. . In some cases this shaking has been observed to last several days, and even weeks, although in most instances its dura tion is a few hours. In one instance this trembling came after ; a soldier had twice been buried in a mine ex plosion, had been through' a charge and under heavy bombardment in a trench and finally was hit by a piece of rock, which, while not injuring him, knocked him down. In his case the tremor of the hea;t was marked, and lasted for some time. Temporary loss of memory is a com mon thing with the men whoj haye been through some extremely trying period J an(j or who have suffered a sudden shock. In such instances the recovery of memorjss as sudden as its loss. One such soldier, after being near a shell which exploded, could remember noth ing that happened to him until he came to himself, walking along a lane, some time later. Another man in the hospital thought himself back in the trenches and became violejnt, moving his cupboard about as though it were a machine gun and pointing it at 'his enemies. When he suddenly re turned to a normal state le could re member nothing of his experience. One of the most common, and at the same time most pitiful, of the many mental results of the struggle is the inability to sleep soundly (and recur rence of so-called trench dreams. It la not uncommon, Doctor Auer says, to "see soldiers start from; their beds in the middle of the night; crying out and weeping, the bodies bathed in' perspiration as they dream of being chased by Germans with bayonets, of being buried under debris following a explojionj' an- of- losing the trench in a fog and being unable to fjtjack. ' -, , TJie tear which is commonly found & not the kind which a layman would expect. The soldiers do ntt fear in Jury to themselves. They are rather afraid of doing something' wrong, a fear of an emergency in; which one ;majr fati or lose the confidence of his r comrades. In one . instance the pa tient was afraid to go to s jeep for fear ;liej would not awake, r Blindness and deafness are frequent ly found, but one of the most unusual ot tblephenozoJia .in tirftf '.connection is the presence of photophobia, the tflfTof "looking.. tt mW stances , men are found who. complain that 1 ther cannot see. In -such instances. Miss Leona Curtis, daughter of Sen ator Charles Curtis of Kansas, is a welcome addition to congressional cir cles in Washington. Though she has been in the capital only a short t" ie, her charm and good locks have won may friends. ' HOLD GRIM WAR MEMENTOS Personal Treasures of Soldiers Killed in the War Are Kept for Their Families. London. Little brown paper parcels and canvas bags, ranged in hundreds - m . 1 1 1 T -3 TTT11 1 J1.J t oi pigeonuuies in a iuuuuu vvau uuuu- ing, are silent mementos of the grim side of the great war. Here are stored the personal treas ures of the soldiers who have died at the front. They are kept for the dead soldiers' wives and mothers who find comfort in the possession of the few belongings found in the trenches after bullet, bayonet or poison gas has done its work. Most of the packages contain things of only trivial value, such as a pipe, a pocket knife, a shaving brush, watch or unfinished letter, but all are care fully kept until relatives of the dead soldiers claim them. The record office of the territorial regiments deals with every arm of the service and hundreds of inquiries a day are handled. The oflice attempts to trace the relatives of dead soldiers, but this is not always possible. By means of a very efficient index system the record office keeps track of every officer and man in the territorial regiments.
