VIRGIN ISLANDS
: — — — --
(By United Press)
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. — The Uni
ted States apparently has picked up
something in the way of a wholesale
house cleaning job as well as terri
tory of vast military value In buying
the Virgin islands. Officials sent to
look them over recently asked con
“ gress for $200,000 to correct these al
leged conditions.
No waterworks In any town. Drink
ing water obtained from cisterns or
hauled in wagons from insanitary
wells. Fire departments consist of
hand carts, tubs, tanks and hand
pumps. No sewerage system. No fur
niture for government offices, which
contain old Danish safes made of cast
iron and locked with keys.
The cheerful word was brought
back that for many years past the is
land’s budget has never met expenses.
The biggest revenue obtained was
from imports from the United States,
which are now cut off. In addition,
labor troubles are chronic because of
Importations from the Barbadoes of
low class workmen.

V INSANE
(By United Press)
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. — Of all
the American soldiers who will be in
valided back from European service,
twenty per cent will require treatment
in insane asylums. Shell shock and
similar maladies will affect at least
this many, in the opinion of Dr. Wil
liam A. White, superintendent of St.
Elizabeth's hospital, Washington.
Congress has voted him funds to
expand the hospital on these esti
mates: Ten 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 tempor
arily or permanently Insane.
Because his institution may not be
able to care for all the patients. Dr.
White has been given authority
to send men to hospitals throughout
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 re
storing their minds will progress
rapidly."
Mental examiners will visit canton
ment camps to see that drafted men
who seem likely to succumb easily to
intense nervous excitement are ex
empted from foreign service.
