also believed by observers that the principal attack
may be made that portion of the front occupied by the
Americans. No doubt the German leaders believe this

that the American troops through nexperence would be
easily driven back They will probably know better when

Eye. m..t Aet.x. Of senses.

Naturally, the eyes are the most
active Of the senses. They record so
many Impressions that are unpleasant
that they cannot fail to cause constant
irritation. OF course, the system
adapts itself to this, and most ordl-
nary human beings do not feel it, but
the Irritation is there nevertheless.
Once man has lost his sight, In
nearly every instance he Is immedi-
ately calm. With the mind relieved
Of the irritation Of seeing 1t is not diff
ficult to understand that it should be
more efficient for thinking. A curious
phase Of the study Of the blind is
that while man Is losing his sight he
does all his worrying. The irritation
seems to increase as the light dims,
but once the light goes out completely
there Is peace.
