For Eye Troubles
Consult Specialist

Believing that often a knowl-
edge of the disease is needed
more than glasses, when people
seek relief from eye trouble, and
that a physician is in a position
to use the necessary medicine for
examination, DR.. V. B. Cailison
has taken up this work and is
able 10 give the kind of service
needed for treating eye trouble
DR.. i. R. Carpenter, of El
Paso, Texas, the well known
specialist, gives out the following
recommendation for Dir. Callison:
'Dr. Callison Las diligently
applied himself in the study of
refraction and is far better quail
fed to do this work than the
travelling men (who are virtually
only glass sellers') who are al
lowed by law to make only a
partial examination of the eye. ="

ASSIGNMENT or BONDS

BY al Cthcsl orde, OF the Treas
ury, the assignment of registered
bonds heretofore made only be-
fore certain Treasury officials and
the officers of certain courts and
Federal reserve and national
banks can now legally be made
before officers of incorporated
State banks and trust companies.
This will be a great relief to
many holders Of registered bonds
living in small towns and cities
where there are no national
banks or persons before whom
the assignment could legally be
made.
Heretofore it has not been
usual for a fee to be charged for
the assignment of bonds, and it
is presumed that the newly des-
ignated agencies will conform 10
the custom and make no charge.

Military Mastery Uncertain

NE nervousness which many OF us icel

II is possible for such nation to be defeated
or lis power broken. whatever the force
which the allies may muster against it.
But there is another side to this. one which
might be presented without for Il minute
minimizing the effort which must be put for
ward II the reuton armies are to he over
come. To minimize would be foolish but
without committing that folly certain facts
might be stated that tend to show that Ger.
many is not invncblc; hers is not an empire
OF supcrmen; her military machine cannot
triumph over anything that concevably may
be placed before it, and eventually it viii
suffer the fate of all other systems like il
which have risen before.
First OF all, Germany in nearly four years
has accomplished but complete victory.
She has pu, Russia out OF the war and Ron
mania along with it, but she has done 40
other one thing that is in any sense decisive.
This is true III spite Of the fact that her
military organization IL the most perfect the
world ever saw; in spite of tho fact that her
commanders are masters OF military science;
IN spite OF the fact she has had Il COMPACT
and mobile army under II single command,
and in spite Of the fact that she has, from
tho very beginning, been opposed by unco-
ordinatcd and unorgani2ed enemies.
Germany has not taken Paris, and there
fore, has not defeated France She has not
captured the channel ports and isolated Great
britain She has not mpcried the seas and
prevented the United States from throwing
a great army against her. She has not dc.
stroycd tho Italian army and released Aus.
TRAN forces for employment in France She
has not even annihilatcd the Belgian army
ana taken possession Of all Belgium. She
has not successfully contested tho command
of the seas AS matter OF fact, she has
not achieved any signal victory in any d!rcc-
ton except the conquest of Russia and was
able TO do that only when that part of Russia
lehnd the battle line threw up lis hands in
dcsrair
Thos= :hirgs being true. 1t is difficult to
believe tia: Germany is irresistible. she has
wonderful endurance, it must be agreed. She
has almost endless resources in men and war
materials. Her officers arc great military
leaders VIC all know, but granting all these
things, it cannot be forgotten that she has
failed in every military enterprise except
that i'll the east. and even her most boasttul
statesmen do not claim that as d glorious
triiIhph OF arms.
