First Aid Corps for Insane Soldiers Formed
Petrograd reports a new first aid corps of nerve specialists to treat soldiers who have gone insane from intense combat. An officer, among 240 men with only 13 survivors, is a mental wreck, signaling many similar cases as the war wears on. A German note praises the Emden’s heroism, pledging a stronger Emden with an iron cross on its bow. In Minneapolis, schools may soon teach post office operations from collection to delivery, parcel post, savings bank, and mail addressing, with officials visiting classes.
