Many Saved From Blindness.

The state department OF health
has been notified OF number
OF virulent cases OF trachoma in
Mingo and Wyoming counties, the per
sons afflicted refusing to go TO the
trachoma hospital at Welch for treat
ment. The report was made by the
surgeon In charge of the hospital, and
State health Commissioner 3. l.. Jep-
son was asked to take action to re-
quire the patients to enter the hospi-
tai with the hope OF preventing the
spread of the disease.
The hospital at Welch is maintained
Jointly by the state and federal gov
ernments and treatment there is free
to all. The commissioner said he
would immediately take steps to per-
suade all the persons named in the
surgeons letter to go to the hospital
at once for the double purpose of saw
Ing them from certain blindness and
preventing the spread of the disease
DR.. Jepson also issued a general warn
ing, urging all persons anywhere in
the southern section OF the state who
may be suffering from trachoma to go
to the Welch hospital for immediate
treatment. Hundreds of persons, ac-
cording to the hospital records, have
been saved from blindness in the last
two years.

BRAZIL ENTERS GREAT WAR
NAVY EXPECTED TO ASSIST AD-
MIRAL cAPERTON's FLEET.
Comes Definitely Into the Open in
Hostility to the German and Her
Allied Nations.

Washington.-Braz is no longer a
neutral in the world war. and the Ger
man Empire has another enemy ar
rayed against it.
Having previously revoked its policy
of aloofness, so far as it affected the
hostilities between the United States
and the Germany Brazil has now
come definitely into the open and an
nounced that it can no longer be con-
sidered neutral in the war between
the Entente aud Germany.
Although no announcement has been
vouchsafed as TO whether the South
American republic will actually enter
into hostilities, by it's revocation of
neutrality it definitely aligns itself
morally on the side or the United
States and the Entente.
The warships OF the Entente will
now, visit Brazilian ports without ques-
tson Of adhering to the time limits inn
posed by neutrality.
Milo Pecanha, the Foreign Minister.
in note last month to the Brazilian
legations, said that Brazil up to that
time had refrained from taking sides
in the European conflict, but that the
republic could not remain Indifferent
from the moment the United States
found Itself involved in a struggle for
the rights of the people and when Ger
many meted out unfortunately to
Brazil the most brutal treatment.
Canadians Halt German Guard.
The Canadians-men from all parts
Of the Dominion-have taken another
hack at the German lines protecting
Lens, the coal center in the Depart
ment of Pas de Calais, and have been
rewarded with a further encroachment
upon their objective.
Striking on a two-mile front south
of Lens, the men from Nova Scotia,
central Ontario, Manitoba and British
Columbia, protected by effective cur.
tain fires, stormed and captured the
German first line positions before
Avion and also the village of Leau-
vette. They defeated in their on
slaughts men of the crack Prussian
Guard and the Fifth Grenadier Guards,
whose machine gun and rife fire and
the fact that the attacking force had
TO cut through wire ENGAGEMENTS
could not stay them.
When the battle ended and the Cana
dians began their work of consolida-
ting the newly won positions thei. line
had been extended TO within one mile
OF the center OF Lens.
In the Russian theatre the fighting
is still spirited in Galicia. In the Aus
tro-Itallan zone only artillery duels are
taking place. Patrol engagements and
artillery dueis continue TO feature the
fghting In Macedonia.

Bond May Enter Camp.

Adjutant General John C. Bond, OF
West Virginia, is planning to attend
the next training camp for officers in
the United States army. While he has
not finally decided to take such a step,
he is strongly considering it. His at
tainment of a commission at the train.
ing camp would be followed by his
resignation as adjutant general OF the
state troops. The highest commits
sion to be offered at the next series of
training camps is that OF lieutenant
colonel, and as General Bond has had
twenty years practical experience in
the national guard OF West Virginia,
as well as the experience incident to
moving one regiment OF West Virginia
troops to the border. his friends feel
certain he will be able to qualify for
high rank in the army Should he
decide to enter the training camp. 1t
Is said he will go as do civilians and
seek to qualify for the commission
through the ordinary routine of train
Ing camp exercises and studies. Gem
eral Bond, formerly a newspaper man,
with headquarters at Charleston, Is
widely known throughout the state.
He was appointed by Governor Hat.
