BLIND ARMY SIGHT Operation at Washington on Thomas Skeyhill, Famed War Lecturer, Effects First Complete Shell-Shock Cure on Record—He's Going Back to Trenches Washington, June 21. The gas cloud, the bayonet thrust and the bullet wound have caused many u repetition in the war of the familiar! "Uory of the "Light That Failed.'! But among the thousand of com bat? whose blindness will ever through their lives prove a poignant sacrifice is one who almost miracu-; lously has recovered his sight. And. as an inspiring sequel to the story of his physical rehabilitation, the vic tim has announced his intention of! going back to the trenches. It was in the fierce fighting be-1 fore Gallipoli in 1915 that Thomas Skeyhill. a signaler in the Anzac forces, was instantly blinded by the blast of an exploding shell.

The world knows the story. For; nearly a year the Allied forces strove 1 vainly to take defenses that proved! : impregnable. Thousands of lives; were sacrificed, and many bodies! 1 were maimed by the withering fire that came from the foe's positions on the hrtltops. It was in December, 1915, just about a month before thej Allies carried out their splendidly successful that the light, ; was taken from Skeyhill's eyes, i Months of service had given Sky-j hill a deep insight into the motives' j that had induced his. comrades to I j sacrifice gladly their lives.

Write atj i once to Swift Specific Co., 441 Swift , Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga.—Adv. enlisted at the age of nineteen—he soon became known as a powerfully effective lecturer. His speeches were instrumental in rallying hosts of Australia's manpower to the colors and his verse, published under the title of "Soldiers Songs of Ansae," | caused him to be popularly known t throughout the Antipodes as the [ "blind soldier poet." Recently he left Australia, where' his name had become a household, word to come to America for a se'ries j of lectures in the interest of the! Hed Cross. His first addresses at San Francisco heard by more than 150,000 persons. He met similiar> successes in Reno, Salt Lake City. I Denver and finally in the national { capital. , j Although suffering from his phys ical disabilities, Skeyhill announced his intention of Inaugurating an In- j dividual drive with the object of raising a million dollars for the Red ( Cross, lie had been afflicted with violent headaches for more than a month. In San Francisco he had been obliged to go, to a hospital ! in Reno he had bled nearly to death! from hemorrhages, and in Wash-j ington he suffered greatly from pains! in his neck. A Washington specialist found j that the vertebrae at the base of Skeyhill's neck had been dislocated in three places, presumably by thej shock that had blinded him. A sim-! pie osteopathic operation was under-1 taken, and as the vertebrae were snapped back into position the sight returned to the soldier's eye. It was explained by the physician that the displaced bone had impaired | blood ♦irculatlon and nerve connec-; Hons with the eye centers of thej brain. As the realization came to Skey-| hill that the darkness that had hung} over him for more than two years i had keen dispelled, he became seized with an ecstatic joy that nearly un-j hinged his mind. His mind became] a blank concerning the years that; had elapsed since his injury, and h*| imagined himself back in the bayonet j charge in which he had been! wounded. His condition became soj acute that he was removed to a hos- [ pital, but after a night's sleep he re-i gained his mental poise. Skeyhill immediately after the op-| eration was able to see objects with I perfect clarity, but for several daysj was 'afflicted with color blindness. ] This rapidly is disappearing and his 1 sight is expected to be as good as ever in a short time. His case Is, believed to be the first in which a complete euro of shell-shock has; been effected. The soldier-poet will complete his, work for the Red Cross and then! will try to rejoin his Anzac com-' rades in the trenches overseas.

Nobody wants Its ' continuance for petty aims." Lrfitor in the course of the debate the Foreign Minister exclaimed: | "Wo pasionately desire an honor ! able lwaci-, but it is attainable only ! by lighting." The For.'igr. Minister said he did ! not fcelieve the Germans proposed ! reasonable offers to the Allies as a i whole, but was, rather, bent upon se- I lecling one member for separate j dealings. j To queries from pacifist members, 'the Fortign Minister said: | "So far us I know, there is no dif -1 ferer.ee between President Wilson's ! war aims and those of the Allies. ; They are working toward the same ] end."
