MADNESS IN THE GERMAN RANKS
STRAIN OF THE CAMPAIGN. (Rec. April 14, 8.15 p.m.) ' . Berne, April 13. Professor Goupp, a nerve specialist, writing to the "iMunchner Medezin, stat-es that there has been an alarming increase in madness in the German army,' particularly since the French offensive'ill the middle .of December. There are a very large number of gaps in the ranks, duo to morbid excitement and nervous prostration. "The explosion of a sheE or .the 1 fate of a comrade," he says, "is sufficient to produce paralysis, convulsions, loss of speech, or delirium, which often disappear wnen in hospital, but reappear when they return to the front. Even the suggestion of a return is often sufficient to send the men mad."
