 Tt is they'', says the newspaper, "who are at Ludenorff's elbow and are in charge of the western offen- sive. They are the inner High Com mand, being Ludenorff's personal and immediate war council"
 Their names are given under the caption "Men of Action." They are: Colonel von Merz, Lieutenant-Colonei Wetzell, Lieutenant-Colon Bauer, Major Frahnert, Major von Bockel- berg, Major von lHarbou, Captain Geyer
 It is hinted that Wetzell is chief of the 1ntellifence Department. "Lieutenant-Colonel Bauer's forte is intuitive divination of Ludendorff's intentions" says the newspaper.
 All of these seven men, it is said have come to the front since the be- ginning of the present war. They are characterized as men of untiring en- ergy, drive, and capacity for quick decision"

US. Surgeon Restores Sight of
 Soldier Blinded by Shell Shock

word, to come to America for a ser ies of lectures in the interests of the Red Cross. His first addresses at San Francisco were heard by more than 150,OO0 people. He met with City, Denver and finally in the nation al capital.
 Although suffering from his phy- sical disabilities, Skeyhill announced his intention of inaugurating an in- dividual drive with the object of raising million dollars for the Red Cross. He had been afflicted with violent headaches for more than a month. In San Francisco he had been obliged to go to a hospital, in Reno he had bled nearly to death from hemorrages, and in Washington he suffered greatly from pains in his l neck. A Washington specialist found that | the vertebrae at the base of Skeyhilps neck had been dislocated in three places, presumably by the shock that had blinded him. A simple osteopathic operation was undertaken, and as the vertebrae were snapped back into position the sight returned to the soldiers eyes. 1t was explained by the physician that the displaced bone had impaired blood circulation and nerve connections with the eye cen ters of the brain.
 As the realization came to Skey- hill that the darkness that had hung over him for more than two years had been dispelled, be became seized with an ecstatic joy that nearly unhinged his mind. His mind became a blank | concerning 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 condition became so acute that he was removed to a hospital, but after a nights sleep he regained his mental boise.
 Skeyhill immediately after the op- eration was able to see objects with perfect clarity, but for several days was afflicted with color blindness This rapidly is disappearing, and his sight is expected to be as good as ev- CT in a short time. His case is be lieved to be the first in which a com- plete cure of shell-shock has been eff l fected.
 The soldier-poet will try to rejoin his Anzac comrades in the trenches l overseas.

|f0RCtS UNITED IN
 SEEKING FARM LABOR
Liberty Loan and Red Cross Cam. paigners Join in Hunt for
 Wheat Harvesters

Washington, June 8.-Organizations that so successfully conducted the Third Liberty Loan and Second Red Cross campaigns are now working in cooperation with farm-help specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture in many cities to gind workers with farm experience to help farmers harvest the wheat crop. 9th CT organizations in cities, towns, and villages are also uniting their efforts to aid in this work. If the wheat is to be saved, and other needed farm work done, there must be closer CO operation between the town and coun- try, according to the Department of Agriculture. Nonessential industries must permit their employees, who have had farm experience, to go to the country and help during the har- vest season.
 Commercial organizations should secure pledges from men who are willing to devote a few days or weeks of their vacation in the harvest fields, and should see that these men are placed when and where they are most needed, suggest officials of the De- partment of Agriculture. City Y. M c. As, athletic clubs and country clubs should open their doors to these men and give them an opor- tunity to take physical exercises that will prepare them for labor in the fields. And women's organizations should volunteer to go to the coun- try and help prepare meals for the army of harvest laborers, and in oth- CT ways tighten the tasks of their ru- ral cousins.

Washington, June S.-The gas cloud, the bayonet thrust, and the bullet wound have caused many a repetition in the war of the familiar story of the Light that Failed" But, among the thousands of combatants whose blindness will ever through their lives prove'a poignant sacrifice is one who almost miraculously has re- covered his sight. And, as an inspiring sequel to the story of his physical rehabilitation, the victim has amour ced his intention of going back to the trenches.
 It was in the fierce fighting before Gallipoli in 1915 that Thomas Skey- hill, signaller in the Anzac forces, was instantly blinded by the blast of an exploding shell. Following a terri fife bombardment from the Franco British fleets that succeeded in silen- cing the Turkish forts at the entrance of the Dardanelles, thousands of Irish, Australians and New Zealander with British and French troops land ed in an effort to sweep past the de- lenses of the Peninsula and take Con- stantinople.
 The world knows the story. For nearly year the Allied forces strove valiantly to take defenses that proved impregnable. Thousands of lives were sacrificed, and many bodies were maimed by the whitening fire were came from the foes positions on the hilltops. It was in December 1915, just about a month before the Allies car- ried out their splendidly successful evacuation that the light was taken from Skeyhills eyes.
 Months of service had given Skey- hill deep insight into the motives that had induced his comrades to sac rifice gladly their lives. Incapacitated for further fighting, he sought to preach the gospel of Allied effort from lecture platform and through the press. Although barely over his majority-he enlisted at the age of nineteen-he soon became known as powerfully effective lecturer. His speeches were instrumental in rally ing hosts of Australia's manpower to the colors, and his verse, published under the title of Soldiers Songs of Anzac," caused him to be popularly known through the Antipodes as the "blind soldier poet.'
 Recently he left Australia, where his name had become household

Washington, June 6.-Women, as wives, mothers, and sisters of sol diers have deep realization of the necessity for painstaking care in their work, make the gas masks for the American army.
 Somewhere in the United States, at a plant whose location for obvious reasons is not made public, thousands of them are engaged in the delicate and intricate operations, and in con ducting tests on the finished pro. ducts. They have ibeen organized in military fashion, and specially select ed for the work.
 'lt soon became apparent that the type of women needed could not be secured through the ordinary chan nels of employment" says a state ment of the Gas Defense service, that section of the surgeon generals of flee which controls the manufacture, and men were sent to localities dis playing service flags to secure the service of women vitally interested, who would be most loyal in their work. and extremely anxious to send out perfect gas-masks.
 Sewing face pieces, assemblying sec tions. and making sure that the fin ished mask will be impervious to gas requires a whole series of complica- ted operations. Schools were estab- lished, and the women selected were trained in special courses until they became proficient in all the divisions of the task, the statement adds.
 After that they were assembled in divisions, companies platoons and squads, under women leaders, and the Defense service says that the method produced unusual results both in discipline and control of production Friendly rivalries as to the quantity and quality of output is carried on be- tween the different companies"
