"There ic a new land confronting ub,"
suid Premier Lloyd tioorHO In u re
cent speech. "What manner of coun
try it will be" he continued, "will
depend on how the war gots and on
how things go after the war.
"I am more confident tuduy than
I have ever been, and for reasons it
would not be relevant for me to enter
on at the moment; but one of the 1 at
test reasons is the impression made
on me by the American troops I saw
in Frame. They are superb In ma
terial and in training, and in the way
they huvo borne themselves in the
trying conditions of buttles they have
fought. I found a great spirit of
confidence which strengthens our
conviction of victory.
"The war has upset everything
and when it Is over the falling back
into normal conditions win be an
other disturbance. Thero will be a
groat social and economic distur-i
banco.
"There are two alternatives. One
Is that the war will have sobered the
millions who havo thru he fires,
whether in France or In the anxieties
ut borne. Their vision will have been
broadened, their sympathy deepened,
their outlook and purpose made
clearer, firmer and more exalted.
There are millions who have tteen in
dta!y contact with death, walking
hourly over Its trap doors. They
have come Into contact with very ter
rible realities. '

Russians who assassinated General
von Mirbach, tho German ambassador
to Hussla, concealed their weapons
under the table over which they were
conversing with the German diplo
mat, according to details of the kill
ing published by the Berlin Lokal
Anroiger as coming from an eye-witness
of the murder.
"Count Mlrbach, Privy Councillor
Kiesler, and Lieutenant Mueller, were
seated with the two Russians at
marble table In the middle of the
Toom, says tho witness. On one
side were the Germans, and on the
other the Russians. All were seated
in low leather chairs, which was an
advautage for the Russians as they
were thus able to get their weapons
ready tinder the marble table without
being observed, while their victims,
leaniug back in their chairs, offered
an easy target.
"During the conversation tho Rus
sians began to turn over the pages of
their documents as tho in search of
some missing papers, and the atten
tlon of the Germans was thus dis
tracted by this pause. While Count
Mirbach and his colleagues imagined
that the Russians were examining
the documents, they had drawn out
their weapons under cover of the
table.
"They then sprang up with revol
vers, and began firing; one Russian
aiming at Count Mlrbach. the other
at the two other Germans. Count
Mirbach was hit In the back of the
head. On hearing the shots, people
hurried lu from the neighboring
rooms, and the Russians thereupon
took to flight, but, before springing
out of the window, each of them
hurled a hand grenade. Only one
grenade exploded, the splinters of
which hit Count Mirbach killing him
instantly."

boats that during the days of Mark
Twain and since have plied tho Mis
sissippi, performing duties not at all
commensurate with the river's possi
bilities, are to be put to work to help
win the war and will be augmented
by boats of mouern type; by barges
and towboata powerfully , propelled
and modernly equipped, capable of
greatly relieving the heay transpor
tation burdens of the railroads.
A fleet of freight-carrying boats
running between New Orleans and
St. Louis and on up the river as ne
cessity demands, has been designed
and the federal government has back
ed the project with millions of dol
lars. The Mississippi Valley Water
ways association, representing varied
interests thruout the valley, is exer
cising general supervision of the pro
ject. ,
Revival of river traffic on a large
scale was suggested months ago when
freight congestion on the railroads
became acute. Business men began
to w-onder why the broad expanse of
the Mississippi could not be used to
transport their freight expeditiously
and the idea took form in an applica
tion to the government for financial
assistance to build and maintain a
river fleet. The government appro
priated $."i0.00 to be expended
between St. Louis and New Orleans
and $3.f.00.0io to be used on the up
per Mississippi, between St. Louis and
Minneapolis. These amounts. It is
explained are considered merely ex
pressions of good will and If tho pro
ject gives promise of being successful
as many millions as may be needed
will be forthcoming.

X Oil ATKAU IN LORRAINE, July
20. (Cprrespondence of the Associ
ated Press). American soldiers suf
fering from shell chock now are hur
ried In the shortest possible time to'
a base hospital established here for
the special treatment of such cases.
The element of time is regarded by
the specialists attached to this hos
pital as of prime importance. Ef
forts are made to deliver such-cases
to the hospitals within forty-light
hours after the first symptoms de
velop. A special ambulance service
has been organized for that purpose.
Once here, the shocked soldier re
mains here until the treatment of his
case'is finished.
If the nervous trouble of a patient
results from concussion or from the
strain of service, it1 is curable here,
if it is not curable, it Is because the
case was not brought here soon en
ough or because it had a chronic
foundation before the patient .went
into the array. Nervous symptoms
resembling what has been called
shell shock have developed under the
simple strain of service in soldiers
who have never heard a shell ex
plode. Base Hospital 1 IT treats both
j these aspects of war neurosis, and
jon!y according to the highest stand
! ards of neurological science. Hyp
i nosis is seldom used. No dangerous
'experiments are allowed and isola
tion is not followed excepting as sim
! pie ard roufine. The patients are
i kept -together and the nurses are
jkept with them, giving their company
as well as their experienced care and
both are a part of the cure.
The patients, themselves, when
they have recovered sufficiently be
come ex-officlo members of the staff;
they cooperate with the doctors and
nurses in helping the other boys out
of their muddied cor.ii.lou of mind
and their unsteady state of nerves.

"I eoine to etnpba-ie that nil

clared A. M. Simons of Wisfonsin,
one of the members of the commis
Moit, in an addre he delivered al
a dinner yiven to the mission, at the
house of eommons. "America staid
out of the war two years," continued
.Mr. Simons, ''taking recourse to ev
ery means at hand to avoid participa
tion in what seems the world catas
trophe. Since our entrauce into the
war President Wil-on has jriven the
Germans evcrv opjortunit- to avoid
further bloodhed. We have laid our
cards on the table and waited in
tiently but the only answer is that of
the cannon of the enemy's hots in
buttle. We hate war. We did not
want militarism in the t'nited States.
Hut -we are fiirhtin;; now and intend I
to continue to fijiht with ail our

ilohn Sparjo, another member of
the mi-ion, declared that unless the
United States was to War irrfuttire
the reate.-t militarv burden known
to the nations, Prussianism must be
cni-lied at the earliet posible mo- !
merit. '"Such creed is in keeping with
our pacifism," he said. "We believe '
an inconcluive peace would be an
unpn railed disaster that a thousand
years of toil and suffering could not
riuht." !
John Hodte, Rritih minister of
pensions, said tliere could be no doubt '
nbout the soundness of Britih !a-'
bor in the war, notwithstanding cer-'
tan unfoHunate impressions. We
admit, he said, "that as in the ease of

that the heart of the labor in the
