lTdcnOIla OF BraIlulaCeu eye
lids, long known to the medical
profession as a chronic conta-
gious disease, is widely spread
throughout this country. No sec
ton of country is free from this
disease but it is peculiarly fire.
quent in the section traversed
by the Appalachian chain OF
mountains. The tendency of this
disease is to progress until eth
er the sight is impaired to a mar
ked degree or total blindness re-
suits. During the early stages of
the disease, which may be eth
er acute or chronic in nature, the
eye does not show, from out
change from normal but upon
everting the lids the granules
are to be seen which gives the
inner surface a roughened ap-
pearance, During the active pro-
cess the eye appears red and con-
gested and the patient suffers
immensely from the effect of
light on the eye. Ulcers often
form on the eye during the ac-
tive stage, as a result of the
roughened condition of the lid,
and adds to the patients discom-
fort. Other complications of this
disease are a hazy cornea, dis
torted eyelashes and a turning
in of the lids which gives hte
patient an unsightly appearance.
The rapid spread of this dis
ease has resulted in the estab-
fishing of hospitals by the Uni
ted States Public Health Ser
vice in accessible places through
out the mountains of Tennessee,
Kentuckey and Virginia for the
free treatment of those afflict-
ed with this disease. The one To-
Gated at Tazewell, Claiborne
county, Tennessee, is crowded to
its full capacity. Patients often
travel fifty and sixty miles a.
cross the country to reach the
hospital. Sixty-three patients
with trachoma were admitted
to the hospital for treatment
during the month of July, and
as many as 1872 have presented
themselves at the outdoor elm
ic for examination and treat
ment in one day, and as many as
nine members of one family
have been cured of this disease.
No charge is made to patients
for treatment or maintenance
while in the hospital.
Operations are performed dai-
ly on patients with Trachoma
and as many as fifteen opera
tions in one day have been per-
formed for the relief of this dis
ease and conditions resulting
therefrom. Patients have been
received into this hospital from
twenty counties in the state and
some are known to have come to
this institution from other
states including Louisiana and
Florida. Children, by a Proclaim
alton issued by the State Board
of Health, are barred from at
tendance at school until cured, if
afflicted with Trachoma.

RAILROAD
TROUBLES
in CHICAGO
Two Unions Fight for Control of Strike
Situation While Men Pour in
From Outside

CHICAGO-Hundred of switchmen
are pouring into Chicago today from
all parts of the country to aid the
railroads in breaking the strike of
$500 members of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen which threatens to
paralyze local traffic and depress
transcontinental freight movements.
The Switchmen's Union charges that
the brotherhood switchmen are strik-
ing to force the Switchmen's Union
out of existence by asking for closed
shop and by aiding the railroads in
importing strike breakers.
James Murdoch, vice president of
the brotherhood, declared that the
switchmen were not seeking a closed
shop and characterized the reasons
given out by the railroads managers
as causing the strike as unqualified
ly incorrect" He said SO per cent
of the switchmen had voted in favor
of a strike because the railroads had
refused to grant requests made by the
brotherhood.

TERRIBLE
LOSSES OF
BRAVE MEN
Germany Hurls Troops
Against the French Re-
gardless of Slaughter
SOME APPALLING FIGURES
Continued Artillery Fire Infantry As
saults Against Both French
And British

LONDON-Germany used her entire
third army since April 16 fighting on
the Aisne and Champagne fronts. The
French have inflicted such terrific
losses ON this great force that the
enemy is now entirely without re-
serves, except the 1918 class youths.
The calculations show that since
April 16 the Germans have used II
divisions, approximately 1,O65,O00 men
on these two fronts alone. This In
cludes at least one-third of the entire
fighting forces at Field Marshal Hind
enburg's disposal. Raids have devel-
oped the fact that many German regi-
ments have been totally abolished.
Germany was on the offensive on all
battle fronts today. The crown price
is continuing his powerful drive
against the French on the Champagne
front.
The British official statement men
tions considerable enemy artillery ac-
tivity near Armentiers and North
Ypres. The front dispatches indicate
the long continued duration of this
FIRE and it's detailed character as suf-
ficiently violent to indicate the possi-
Bile preparatory measures for an in
fantry attack.

Business Man of Moscow
Finds War Fever Higher
Down East Than Out West

I'VE out here in the west have no
conception of the intense war spirit
that prevails in the east, of how COM
pletely the war is monopolizing public
interest and of the work that is being
done. Why, done in New York, they
are looking forward to Zeppelin raids
over that city. Every day there is a
military parade of men getting to the
front. Every theater emphasizes the
war with patriotic songs, pictures OF
the statue of liberty and of the flag"
This is the report Ray Carter brings
back from the east where he spent two
weeks in the markets.
Grows as You Go East

officials in charge of the camp, when
asked what the men were given to eat,
said that on today's bill Of fare there
were bread, potatoes, coffee, sugar,
rice, eggs, milk and fresh meat.
Noon came and the strikers still
held out, but along about the middle
of the afternoon hunger won the day
and they informed the commandant
they were ready to eat He countered
by telling them to repair the fence
first. This they finally did and then
prepared their own dinner from the
food placed at their disposal.

FINE SPIRIT
Wins the Cross of the Legion of Honor
by His Heroic Fight For His
Native Land
By HENRY WOOD

PARASITIC cross of the Legion of
Honor was today conferred upon a
21-year-old Alsacian by the name of
Alt as the result of most remark
able career in the French army,
prompted solely by his great desire to
see his native province of Alsace re-
united to France.
Ats services in the Alsacian cause
have now been cut short by the loss
of one leg. Although the cross of the
Legion of Honor Is designed to recon-
pense him in part for this, he declares
the recompense that alone will satisfy
him will be the ultimate return of AL
SAGE to France.
