II Prussia, said DR.. Dernburg, is to
maintain her leading position she must
make and continue to make moral con.

Il am rather doubtful whether she
has succeeded in this" he added.

Observation-Disclosures, replied with a
damboyant discourse on the greatness
Of the house of Hohenzollern, whose
members, he said. had ever educated
themselves and their people to fight
and die for the state.
"Dr. Dernburg is the last man who
ought to talk about moral conquests,"
he added. Such things lead to ban

lion dollars for the Red Cross. He
had been afflicted with violent head
aches for more than month. In San
Francisco he. had been obliged to go to
a hospital, in Reno he had blcd nearly
to death with hcmorrhagns. and in
Washington he suffered greatly from
pains in his neck.
When His Sight Returned
A Washington specialist found that
the vertebrae at the base of Skeylillp
neck had been dislOcated in threA
places, presumably by the shock that
had blinded him. A simple operations
was undertaken. and as tn" vertebrate
were snapped back into position the
sight returned to the soldiers eyes.
AS the realization came to Skeyhill
that the darkness that had hung over
him for more than two years had been
dispelled, he became seized with an
ecstatic Joy that nearly unhinged his
mind. His mind became a blank con-
corning the years that had elapsed
since his injury, and he imagined him
self back in the bayonet charge In
which he had been wounded. His con.
dition became SO acute that he was re-
moved to hospital, but after night'A
sleep he regained his mental poise.

And he takes this war so serious
He wouldent think OF winking.
He has a little mustash
And his ferst name is John J.
And Wen he persues the Germlns
