signalIer Tom skeyhiIl's eyesight
has been restored.
The soldier orator, whose eloquent
descriptions of the GallipOli battles
thrilled Honolulu audiences, and whose
appeals for the Red Cross brought thou
sands of dollars to the fund, is once
more able to see the world which was
blotted out when he battled with the
Turks on Gallipoli s heights.
Dispatches have reached Honolulu
from Washington that the restoration
of his eyesight was accomplished by q
simple operation on the vertebrae OF
his neck.
Examination of SkeyhiTl, who has
been delivering hundreds of lectures
since he left Honolulu in the interests
of the Third Liberty Loan, showed @
vertebrae at the head of the spinal col

suit that the blindness' was dispelled.
Physicians explained that the dis
placed vertebrae had impaired func

he dearly loved. he could not have
been kept at school at all.
In those days the passion attending
war ran high on both sides. The
songs, the gibes. the speeches and
what was written concerning the great
struggle were very bitter and usually
far from the truth. In the North It
was "We1l hang JET Davis on sour
