Five Blind Brothers
Noted for Optimism

Ashland, Ohio.-The Hamilton
boys" here are known for their
industry, optimism, happiness, and
cheerfulness. Ordinarily persons
with these qualities would COM
mand but passing interest, but the
three 'boys'-Will, sixty-three, and
his brothers, Earl and Frank--are
meeting life's problems under Sc
we're physical handicap, the loss
of their sight.
Visitors at the Hamilton home,
however, would not at first glance
detect their plight. They would
see three men performing house
hold and outside duties like nor
NAL persons.
VIII, the eldest of the three, is
the housekeeper. And good one,
too. He learned to bake, sweep
and scrub the floor, wash, make
beds and sew from an excellent
teacher-his mother. He has be-
come a veteran in the kitchen, even
boasts he has never taken food off
the stove until it was fully cooked.
A fork in sensitive fingers does the
work.
Asked how he gets along with
the washing, Will said he just
scrubs until he is certain the clothes
are clean.
Earl takes care of the vegetable
garden and Frank plays chamber
maid to the chickens. That is, when
they are not at the Ashland Malle-
able company plant unloading cars
of coal and iron.
Earl and Frank are the support
ers of this unique Ashland family
and they never yet have disappoint-
ed the grocer, milkman, landlord,
cfothie~, ETC., the first of the month.
Two other brothers, Joe and
Harry, also are blind, but they live
in other parts of the state. The lat
ter, who is married and has fam
lily, operates a popcorn and vending
confection wagon. He, like his
brothers, carries on contented with
his lot in life.
Specialists are at a loss to deter
mine the cause of their blindness,
which came suddenly in all five
cases.

CERMANSFQ0LED
BY u. S. SPIES
New Light On Military
Stroke Against the St.
Mihiel Salient.

New York.-Hitherto unrevealed
facts concerning the operation OF
the American spy system against
the vaunted organization of the
Germans, published in the Ameri-
can Magazine, throw new light
upon the .reat military stroke
against the st. Mihiel salient.
During and since the war there
has been much criticism of the de-
cisiOn of General Pershing to put
5000 cannon into action and to
throw more than 1,0O0,000 shells
into the German positions before
the attack instead of slowly roll
ing barrage. Thomas NJ. Johnson,
war correspondent, writing in the
American Magazine, explains the
decision in telling of the general
German failure in espionage.
By a series of maneuvers on the
BelfOrt, Alsace front, he says, the
best troops of the Germans were
drawn to the sector, fearing di-
rect drive to the Rhine. All ordi-
nary sources of information indi-
Gated that the st. Mihiel salient was
poorly manned, if not deserted.
The American intelligence depart
ment, officially known as CO, how
ever, had its own information and
as a result Pershing ordered the
fOur-hOur barage which made the
battle one of the greatest victories
of the war.
Praises English.
Johnson also praises the English
anti-espiOnage service, which made
possible the arrest of Germany's en-
tire corps of 81 spies in England on
the day before England declared
war. No word of the governmental
action reached Germany until after
mobilization had taken place.
Radio interception, adds the
writer, was one of the most valu-
able aids to the American troops
during the war. No German code,
he declares, remained unsolved.
The American headquarters con-
tanned a map, hidden by panels in
wall, showing the location of every
German unit and its condition. AL
though new in the country, the at
tack upon Chemin des Danes, near
scissors was predicted TO the al
lies by the American CO despite
the doubts of the other command
ers, and American troops thrown
into the sector helped bear the
brunt of the attack.
Surpassed Germans.
Among other incidents Johnson
relates how one German officer,
captured in a trench raid, lied
about conditions and was placed
before a mimic court-martial to be
degraded. When his insignia were
stripped off he became so contrite
that he gave full information con-
cerning the strength of another
point against which the Americans
were to strike.
Unaccustomed to maintaining an
elaborate espionage system as the
American army was, adds Johnson,
its organization soon surpassed
anything that had ever been at
tempted by the Germans and add
ed efficient tricks that the former
enemy had never visualized.
Straight messages sent In Choctaw
Indian language put their experts
to an insuperable test and Per-
shing's order to feed all German
prisoners the same ratiOns as sol
diers caused desertions by the hum
dreds, all resulting in the capture
of diaries, personal information
and other data which played an
important part in the winning of
the war.
