Shell-shock jand similar maladies will affect at |least this many, in the opinion of Dr | William A. White, superintendent of St. Elizabeth’s hospital, Washington. | Congress has voted him funds to expand the hospital on these esti- mates: That 10 per cent of the 2, |000,000 soldiers who will see service abroad the first year will be invalided home; that one-fifth of them will be } temporarily or permanently insane. Because his institution may not be able to care for all the patients, Dr. |! White has been given authority to }send the men to hospitals throughout | j the country, the government paying} |for the service. | ‘I will not estimate the number of men I expect to treat,” said Dr. White. “The very best we may hope for is several thousand. The science of restoring their minds will progress rapidly.” o Mental examiners will visit canton- jments to see that drafted men who jseem likely to succumb easily to in- | tense nervous excitement are exempt- ed from foreign service. pach aahads Wh. ce RET BRITISH CRUISER SUNK OFF COAST OF IRELAND LONDON, Oct. 5.—The British cruiser Drake has been torpedo :1 and sunk off the coast of Irelanu, It is called the “‘Natrona County Far- mers’ Exchange” and the first issue is just off the press.

OIL ROYALTIES WILL SOON PAY STATE EXPENSE Incomes From Recent Develop- ments Expected to Eliminate All Need of Special School Tax in Two Years. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 5.— “Within two years, if the present rate of development is maintained, the State of Wyoming will be deriving from state school lands a sufficient oil royalty to more than pay the ex- penses of conducting all of the schools |of the state,” said State Land Com- missioner Ray E. Lee. The significance of the land com- missioner’s statement is that within two years, provided development of school lands containing oil is con- the revenue of such lands to the main- tenance of the public schools, is con- tinued, it will be unnecessary for the people of Wyoming to ay any taxe: fcr the suort of their schools. 4 Commissioner Lee stated that the tate of Wyoming is deriving a rev- enue of $100,000 a year from vil-' prospecting leases alone, and that this income rapid] is increasing.
