BLINDED BY WAR
BUT DID NOT STOP
Personal story of Tom Skeyhil, Bril-
liant Lecturer, Reads Like Tale
of Arabian Nights--MarVeIous-
~ Receivers Sight

Tom Skeyhill, the Australian or
ator who is to lecture here on the
evening of Thursday, December %,
at the college auditorium, is In many
respects like the armor-clad knight of
the days of chivalry His is a char
acter which may well have been TAX
en- from romantic novel of the Six
teenth century. He is distlnctively
the romantic and adventurous type.
The world is his playground.
Mr.. Skeyhill will appear in Pull
man under the joint auspices of the
chamber of commerce and the high
school, and the net receipts from the
lecture will go toward completing
payment on the high school athletic
field. Reserved seats will go on sale
at Watts Pharmacy Saturday.
Not that Tom Skeyhill lives and
dreams in the world of long ago. In
ideas and ideals he lives ahead of
his time. He looks ahead, he sees
ahead, and he goes ahead Deem
Der, 1920, found his fact-hunting in
the heart of soviet Russia gathering
| first-hand material of actual condi-
tons in the most talked of country
on earth at the present time. The
opening of the year found him study
/ ing Russia through the eyes Of the
/ soldier, the lecturer and the poet.
For he is all OF these,
Tom Skeyhills personal story reads
like a chapter from the Arabian
! Nights" He Is an Australian. The
year 1915 found him in the whirlpool
of war and by a curious turn of fate
in the center of the Turkish cam
paign at the Dardanelles. He was
pet of his Amaze division. A bayo-
net thrust, the crash Of an explosive
shell, and Tom Skeyhill found him
! self in unfathomable darkness,
| thousand times worse than the dark
ness Of night Specialists in four
lands told him his sight could never
/ be recovered. He came to America
to assist in the war loan drive. In
% minutes at the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, he raised 1913 ,000,-
600, and he set America on fire with
his oratory. Colonel Roosevelt said
of him; Il am prouder to be on the
stage with Tom Skeyhill than with
any other man | know"
Suddenly, miraculously Tom
Skeyhill recovered his sight, through
the efforts Of a distinguished spe-
cialist in Washington, and with the
restoration there was born new
Tom Skeybill, fiery young orator,
impassioned, intensely dramatic
profound scholar with the soul of a
poet. Two years of blacklist desola-
ton, during which time he never for
one moment relaxed his weakened
energies, had broadened into sturdy
manhood the red-cheeked lad who
had offered his all in the great con-
flict.
Skeyhill Is a wizard of matchless
word pictures. His eloquence has
thrilled hundreds OF thousands in
practically all of the great cities OF
the United States He has appeared
on the platform with the greatest
speakers Of the nation and in every
instance his enraptured audiences
have gone away discussing Tom
Skeyhill.
