Many other soldiers who imagine their eyesight to be perfect may find, it they are examined by a doctor, that spec- cles would help them. One drawback is that a man osed to spectacles would be lost if they were blown away or damsced at the front. The German authorities hare order. ed that each spectacled soldier shall have a pair of glasses in resorve. The same pra caution will to doubt be taken by the War Ofice.
