PECULIAR MENTAL ILL
DEVELOPED BY SOLDIERS
CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash., <
Feb. 13 (by Associated Press).—The ,,
army has a new mental disease,
known as ‘‘military paranofs,” and
many men who were absolutely sane
in civilian life have contracted it, ac
cording to Major Robert P. Smith of
the 91st (Wild West) division, who
has returned here from oversease.
Major Smith is divisional psychiatrist,
a mental expert, and the first officer
of the divison representing men of
the Pacific coast to return.
Major Smith arrived in advance of
his division to catalogue cases of shell
shock as well as those wounded men
whose ailments come within the scope
of psychiatry, which is a study of
mental conditions.
i I he major is particularly interested ;
j in “military paranoia,” the chief syrap- i
tom of which is excessive depression. ]
' “Most of the. cases are curable,” ■
said Major Smith, “but the patient
must have proper surroundings and
treatment.”
Major Smith had nothing but praise
for the men of the 91st division, de
claring that they were the shock
troops for the French and Belgians
during the last three weeks of the
war.
“There is nothing grander in the
war,” declared the officer, “than the
way men of the 91st division distin
guished themselves in the St. Mihiel
drive and in the Argonne forest.
Everone in the west has a right to be
proud of the division and every man
in it.”
A silver buckle bearing the familiar
“Gott Mit Us” has been brought for
what Major Smith terms a “concrete ~
illustration of the disillusionment of s
a German soldier.” The former owner
of the buckle encountered an Ameri- •:
can soldier armed with a trench knife i;
and shortly after lost all interest in £
the future ownership of the bit of
silver.
Although here to arrange for the
J preparations for his soldier patients,
Major Smith took time to secure a £
ten-day leave to spend on a honey
moon, his marriage to Miss Ethel £
Knapp of Seattle taking place the
day of his arrival here from, New
York. |
