Pooling of Supplies.
Another matter, taken up informal
ly with the prime ministers after the
conference, was that of pooling allied
supplies. I explained its advantages
and emphasized the saving in tonnage
that would result. Mr.. Lloyd George
and Mr.. Orlando did not commit them
selves entirely. but accepted it in prin-
ciple, as NJ. Clemenceau had done, and
each agreed to designate an officer with
business experience to meet with US
at an early date to study the question.
With this beginning at least step
had been taken toward our objective,
even though the principle might not
be extended as far as we thought de-
sirable. A few days later NJ. Clemen-

DEFECTIVE VISION NOT
REALIZED BY THOUSANDS
Poor Eyesight Responsible For
Majority of Traffic Accidents
By DR.. j. Fred Andreae, Maryland
Optometry Board

By DR.. ]. Fred Andreae, Maryland
Optometry Board
Last year thirty-three thousand
and sixty men, women and children
were killed in automobile accidents in
this country and tremendous number
seriously injured. Far too little atten-
ton has been given to one factor
which is without doubt directly re-
sponsible for a large proportion of
traffic accidents. l refer to defective
eye sight.
The outstanding obstacle in
Strengthening out this matter of de-
fective eyes is the fact that so many
people refuse to believe that there can
be any trouble with their eyes. AL
though their vision may be decidedly
below par they think it is all right be-
cause they have no idea of what good
vision really is. You have driven a
car with the rain beating against the
windshield and know the blurred look
that everything has and how hard you
must strain in order to see. 1t is an
absolute fact that there are many peo-
pie driving cars on our streets today
who see objects in just this manner
all of the time.
In addition to the commonly known
eye defects such as near and far-sight-
edness or astigmatism, there are 9th
ers found in motorists which are little
understood by the laymen. For in
stance, there is night blindness, which
as the word indicates, is a condition
where the vision is greatly reduced at
night. There is also the double-vis-
ion, where one is unable to see images
received by each eye and fused in
common image. This double-vision
often appears when a driver is excess
sively tired. Perhaps you have heard
of drivers falling asleep at the wheel
or have known persons who have had
to get out and walk for time in order
to stay awake. This conditions means
a depletion of nervous energy brought
about by the strain of constantly
watching the road.
A very dangerous type of eye de-
feet and one responsible for many ac-
cidents is what is known as barrel
vision. The driver who has this diff
ficulty is like horse with binders:
all he can see are the objects directly

BI1'TINGER

An unusually severe hail storm
broke over this community last Friday
evening. Great quantities of hail
stones fell, accompanied by a high
wind and downpour of rain. The
storm area was very small, however,
being confined to a few farms, but
those farms and gardens directly in
the path of the storm suffered much
damage. Some buckwheat fields are
said to have been entirely destroyed
and much corn was injured.

'Tt is also agreed that during May
preference should be given to the
transportation Of infantry and ma
chine-gun units of six divisions, and
that any excess tonnage shall be de-
voted to bringing over such troops
as may be determined by the Amer

ut is further agreed that this pro-
gram shall be continued during June
upon condition that the British gov
eminent shall furnish transportation
for a minimum of 10000 men in May
and 10000 men in June, with the
understanding that the first six divi-
sions Of infantry shall 60 to the Brit
ish for training and service, and that
troops sent over in June shall be al
located for training and service as
the American commander in chief
may determine.
1T is also further agreed that if
the British government shall trans
port an excess of 10000 men in June
such excess shall be infantry and

June there shall be new review Of
the situation to determine further &C.
ton"
AS stated in a cable from the Sec
rotary of war, received May II, this
agreement provided less priority for
infantry and machine-gun units than
recommended by the supreme war
council. 1t was certainly much more
favorable to the ultimate formation of
an American army than we had rea-
son to expect in view of the recon-
mendations contained in note No. IS
of the military representatives, which,
as we have seen, had been practically
approved by the President. In the
excitement over our agreement with
