HIGHWAYMAN" ITS SCARE NOBODY HUR " FATHER'S GREAT BRITAIN COMBATS HOMESICKNESS BY GRANTING THE SOLDIERS SHORT LEAVES OF ABSENCE TO VISIT LOVED ' ONES AT -HOME Despondent Men Recover Quickly After Seeing and Greeting Home 'Folks -and Are Ready and Willing to . Return to Fighting at the By J. W. T. Mason. Former European Manager for the United Press. New Tork, Dec. 26.- The curious fact that many soldiers from the front celebrated Christmas In London res taurants yesterday Is an Instance of the extent to which psychology has rendered war a series of scientific problems. The British war office has arranged to grant as many leaves , of absence from the firing line as possible, be cause psychologists have determined that homesickness Is an important factor in decreasing the vitality of armies. The troopers who, direct from bat tle, spent Christmas day at home, were not given especial facilities on account of the holidays; they were simply the lucky ones whose leaves of absence happened to coincide with tne anniver sary. Ziesson Learned in Africa. The first scientific study of the homesickness problem, as it affects troops, began during the soutn Airlcan war. In this conflict. Great Britain was compelled to accept as volunteers manv thousands of ordinarily home- staying citizens. At the other end of J the world, whither they were sent. it was found that after the first ex citement wore away, these men became despondent. A curious form of melancholia pre vailed in the army. It frequently took the form of a reckless indifference to the enemy's bullets, bordering closely, psychologically, on the suicidal tem perament. This malady, arwer being variously diagnosed, was discovered nnally to be an epidemic of nostalgia. The victims wanted to see their wives and longed for a sight of their children.. It was homesickness, notniri more. Some of the officers were able to secure permission xor meir men a wives to visit South Arrica, ana after short reunions of this kind, the change in the soldiers' spirits was remarkable.

Manila, Dec, 26.--Eigbt Filipinos were under arrest here today, and the arrest of more was considered likely, in connection with what appears to have been a concerted attempt at a local native uprising Tnursday. It is said army officers were warned in advance, the number of conspirators being placed at 10,000. .The attempt was a complete fiasco, however, na tive gatherings belngj Iquickly dis persed in various places, and today, from all Indications, the authorities had the Situation well in hand. , The plot is attribuaed to the ac - tivities of Artemlo Recarte.

WER CONSPIRACY SANTA CLAUS Front, Must Pay Own Way, , Their normal virtues were restored and their efficiency showed a wonderful improvement. 1 This lesson, learned in South Africa, the British are putting to use in the present war. Steady Stream Over Channel. A regular transport service has been organized between the French and Bel gian frontier ami England. Two streams of soldiers cross the channel daily. One -on its way home and the other back to the front. Thus there is always in England a iairiy large number of troops who are veterans of the firing line. Incidentally, this has the effect of stimulating recruiting, though that is an accidental and secondary result of the system. Primarily, its purpose is to keep up the spirits of the men at we iront. The splendid fjshtine oualil th British troops in the western fighting zone have displayed undoubtedly are due In great measure to these precau tions to prevent homesickness. The soldiers themselves have to con tribute to some extent to this plan for maintaining their efficiency. . They aro not granted free transportation to , their homes. Tickets are issued to them at reduced rates, but for them the men must themselves pay. A movement has been, started to compel the government to issue free passes, but the war office refuses to shoulder the expense. The war office argument is that all men are not subject to nostalgia and that, by enforcing a financial sacrifice. a rough rule Is established for limit ing leaves of absence to actual suffer ers from homesickness.
