no face.
Eyes, noses and jaws carried
away by fragments of shell, they
maed a weird array as they lay in
a row, each with queer shaped
white mask where his features
ought to have been.
We removed them to the ambu-
lances, and I watched man with
no legs on his stretcher by the
roadside, who was trying to work
mechanical cigar-lighter and
complaining that it would not
march"
We drove the rest of the night,
and when the last load was taken
out of the little pigeonholes of
the ambulance | fell asleep on a

DOCTORS MAKE
The DUMB SPEAK

Making the dumb to speak
through mental suggestion and
the power OF will is one of the
miracles almost daily being per-
formed by Italian army surgeons.
The we'll substantiated stories OF
what these men are doing rival
the miraculous events chonicled
in the Book of Books. The story
of the Loaves and Fishes and the
raising of Lazarus, the widows
son, from the dead, contain little
more to marvel at than these
every day battle front wonders of
1915.
Hypnotism and mental sugges-
ton are being successfully en-
ployed by the surgeons of the
Italian army in helping soldiers
who have lost the power of speech
to recover that faculty. Expert
ments are also being made to see
if the method cannot be employed
h equal success on blind SOL
diers and deaf men. These exper-
iments apply only to those cases
where the nI:ves of sight and
hearing have been shocked and
not destroyed
The first successful experiment
with dumb soldiers were made in
the military hospital at Ancona
but have since been repeated at
Cava del Tirreni and elsewhere.
Dr.. Gustav Modena is the origin
ator of the method. In his first
successful application Dr.. Mo-
dena had for his subject the SOL
diers Giuseppe Valeri and Naz-
zareno Aquillini. Neither man
had spoken a word for six months.
The first day DR.. Modena subject
