SIGHTLESS TO BE
 CARED FOR IN A
 SPECIAL HOSPITAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 For them who shall exist in darkness to the end of their days-soldiers who have paid with their eyesight part of the price of victory the army machinery of reconstruction is now beginning to function. At General Hospital No. 2, just outside of Bal timOre, and under the special Red Cross Institute for the blinded, the first group of nine has been assem- bled, and is struggling painfully but hopefully over the intricacies of Braile type, taking the first steps on the long road that will end when senses of touch and hearing have sharpened to a keenness that will to some degree compensate for the miss ing optic nerve. There are ten more on the way back from France to take up the training, and up to recent date, this was the total number of the absolutely sightless that American armies had to re- port.

UNREST IN AUSTRIA.

The explots of the Czecho-Slavs in Siberia seem to have inspired their brethren in Austria with re- newed hope, and numerous outbreaks i'll Bohema and Hungary are reported. The Jugo-Slavs are restless and only a spark of encouragement from without is needed to start the confagaration long threatened in the Dual Monarchy.
 If it be true that there 500,000 soldiers in the Austrian armies belonging to these subject races, ready desert at the first opportunity Allied statesmanship and military strategy should that they given this opportunity as quickly possible. These people hate the Ausrians as only passionate race, long enslaved can hate it's oppressors. Had the Allies, at the beginning of the war, sent powerful army to the aid of Serbia, they could have joined with these disafected ele- ments in Austria, and by splitting Germany apart from her chief ally, would have prevented Bulgaria from entering the war. held Turkey powerless and squelched the Teutonic Mittel Europa and Far East aspirations from the start
 President Wilson's promises of consideration for the downtrodden races have imparted new courage to the long suffering Czecho Sovaks and Jugo- Slavs, and Allied staesmanship now has another opportunity to recoup its past mistake Without waiting for military relief, these people should be encouraged to set up their own Government as possible With the rising tide of Allied sue assistance, both military and financial. should be given them Wise counsel to avoid the pitfalls of petty jealousy and the mistakes often made in setting up states, should be supplied The surest way to explode the rotten Austrian Empire and free the subject peoples within it is to furnish these people the of fighting their bat ties.
 The record they have already made in Siberia shows that they capable of taking of them selves, if given half chance. Allied victories the west front needed to kill the dragon mil itarsm and put Germany in her place. Allied statesmanship by encouraging the racial aspirations of the Poles, Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo- -Savs, can insure the peace of Europe for a hundred years.

QUALIFICATIONS OF ELECTORS.

In writing of the qualifications of electors in the various States and Territories the little Dispatch said:
 "The right to vote is granted with little restriction, except for the discrimination
 still existing against in many of
 the States
 There is nowhere, we believe, any educa-
 tiona requirement-the wisest philosopher
 and the biggest dunce have equal privileges
 It is not required that should be
 intelligent enough to know how to vote"
 Ono of the troubles with the Dispatch is that it believes would have its readers believe-so many things hat
 There many limitations voters in many States, educational and otherwise.
 Arizona, California, Delaware, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi Oklahoma and South Car olina require voters to be able read and write English. Hawaii requires voters to be able to read and write English Hawaiian.

Maybe more women would read reports of ball games if the fat headed baseball writers had sense enough to tell who were in the granstand and what they were.
 See if you cant be as close-mouth- ed about the mean things you know about yourself
 Babies and women are in class by themselves. They knew how to make crying pay dividends.
 A woman likes to talk about what she would do if she were a man. And a man likes to talk about what he would do if he were a woman.
 And a man isn't so proud of a girls tiny foot after he marries her and she puts it down firmly on his neck.
 You may have noticed that the more close-fisted man is with his coin, the more generous he is with his advice.
 It often happens that a man gets reputation for wisdom because he is too grouchy to do much talking.

GREAT BRITAIN WILL NOT HAVE TO COME
 TO RATIONING BREAD

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Amer- ica's selfdenial in saving wheat has enabled Great Britain to es- cape the necessity of rationing of bread. With higher extraction in milling and through the addition of substitutes, the British have been able to extend the bread value of the wheat which America has sent.
 As result they are feeling a se- curity which has added greatly to the morale of the people Now they are looking forward to building up fod reserves against possible lean years to come.

ARMY AVIATOR TO FLY ABOVE
CROWDS AT TRl-STATE FAIR
SEPTEMBER 21-2s.

When the American and allied armies
begin the real march to Berlin next
spring the way will be simplified By
army aviators who will smother the
Hun air forces by sheer weight OF
numbers, and thus blind" the enemy.
Hundreds of splendid young Ameri-
cans are learning to fly at Park Field
Aviation School near Memphis.
Every day during the Fair army av-
iators will fly over the fair grounds to
thrill the crowds. Some of the more
experienced flyers will do stunt flying,
such as looping-fhe-loop and tail spin
ming. High in the air they will pro-
vide the real thrills of the Fair.
Officers at Park Field have agreed
to send an entire squadron of flyers
to the Fair On the afternoon of FRI
day, September 81. They will come in
battle formation, and will execute ali
sorts of difficult maneuvers in plain
view Of the crowds. Be sure to watch
for the aviators at the Fair.
