VALUE OF EXCITEMENT.

-

CIVILISED MAN REQUIRES A MENTAL STIMÜLUS.

We are often told that, instead of waigh- ing football, cricket, boxing, a horse-ract, or boat-race, we should all of us play some rame, say a writer in a home contemporary. It is commonly assumed that a large *.gate

witnessing one or other of our popular forms of sport points to national devadencs, if not degenericy.

But excitement to civilised peoples is- hoth natural and necessary; while ex- citement caused by sport, whether in the pisper or in the spectator, is healthy and beneficiada view which is supported by eminent psychologists, and physiologists.

For what is excitement but à quickening or awakening of the mind, a stimulation of the nervous systom, and therefore, in occas- jonal moderate doses of benetfit to all normal beings?

Among the higher animals the love of excitement is abundantly manifest, most noticeably, perhaps, in the horse and dog. Beyond doubt a racehorse thoroughly enjoys

Our wel of excitement is, perchance largely subconscious, and therefore vague and nudefined. Even outbursts of lawless- ness, rioting, and the like in socially dull. and disraal areas are often caused by its back, by prolonged absence of legitimate provocation of the mind to “livelines."

Excitement born of witnessing out-door sporta, it can be safely affirmed, is bodily healthful and mentally invigorating. "We cannot all participate in the actual game. Some of us have done so; some of us may do so; others have not the physical equipment, or lack of opportunity; and if the spectators generally, as they do, play the game orly in imagination, their intelligence is sustainted, and stimulated thereby, while enthusiarın. is always a tonic.

FROM THE TIMES

CORRESPONDENT] Ores, July 7th

The German Schutzpolizei took wer Oppeln at 3 o'clock this morning, and the reign of blackguardism has begun. Walk- ing along the Nicolaistrasse, the High- street of Oppela, I personally say three women stripped naked and rushed along

y a jeuring, shouting mob.

Mr. Skibsey, a senior member of the British section of the Inter-Allied Loma- mission, has just telephoned to me from the Hotel Central, where he is staying, to say that a crowd of ruffians stormed the hotel, dragged out a girl, stripped her naked, and beat her under the very eyes of the 'British and Inter-Allied officers, These could do nothing, as they had strict orders a no acccunt to provoke a con- fist with the German population.

Mr. Kesycki, Polish tieneral Consul here, wils me that he was an eye-witness of the! spectacle of two young girls being drag- ged along naked, by a crowd of ruffians! armed with whips. Some of the whips were bound with wire, and the girls were beding. Mr. Kesycki authorizea me to state that he has telephoned to Mr. Calonder, and he has also wired to General Le Rend urging that prompt measures should be taken by the Allied troops here to keep order.
