SOLDIERS’ NERVES. The commonest of all forms of “nerves” among men at the front In Europe is, perhaps, the longing to be alone. It would be difficult to say how many men have had to be invalided out of the army because they cannot live near other people. To such, theatres, crowded streets, the buzz of conversation in a room, the proximity of people in a train, or in an omnibus become tortures that are almost unbearable. There are men who have taken to solitary huts in the forests, to tiny homes by the sea, where they will live like primitive men until something happens in their brains to jerk them back into the old routine of life.
