WAR’S WRECKS
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—By mail.
In making a plea for further pub
lic financial support, the American
British-French-Bclgian permanent
blind war relief fund, one of the
most notable humanitarian efforts
of the war, presents new and au
thoritative statistics regarding the
eyesight casualties of the war
among the allies, gives a general
public accounting of what /It has
dcr.e with contributions already
made and sets forth certain specific
purposes for which more money is
wanted—purposes of striking ap
peal.
In England,* France and Belgium
there are .30,000 soldiers who have
been, totally blinded and 25,000
who have been blinded in one eye,
and in the usual course of the
weakening of sight, will in time
al30 be totally blind.
. _ I'
In France alone there are 200
soldiers who, besides losing both
eyes, have also suffered, by explo
sions or amputations, the Iocs of
both arms or both legs or a leg or
a hand, and in many cases the ad
ditional misfortune of having been
made stone deaf. •
The American-British - French
Belgian Permanent Blnid Relief
War fund has its offices at 590
Fifth avenue, and Flank Vander
lip, president of the National City
Bank of New York, is its honorary
treasurer. In Europe the fund is
under the patronage of President
Poincare and the royal houses of
England and Belgium. It does not
spend a cent of the contributions
for administrative costs of the
fund. These are privately pro
vided.
In the new appeal for funds, the
managers* of the philanthropy say:
“We want 30 generous-hearted
Americana each to adopt for life
one blinded soldier with both arms
or hands amputated. Five thou
sand dollars set aside by each don
or will more than provide the pen
sion of 1,200 francs per year re
quired, which, will double that
given by the French government.
“We want 150 generous-hearted
Americans each to adopt for life
one blinded and mutilated soldier
who can dcA ilttle or no work and
has a family to support. Three
thousand five hundred dollars put
aside by each donor will provide
the pension of 500 francs per year
necessary.
“We want 100 generous-hearted
Americans to send us $600 each to
purchase cottages for 200 blinded
and mutilated men, who are in
eluded in Nos. 1 and 2
"We want 2,500 generous-hearted
Americans each to contribute *200
for the purpose of sending 2,500
blinded re-educated men to their
own homes and give them an op
portunity to make a new start in
life and earn their own living.
"We want $500,000 for our per
manent fund, to provide for our
after-care project and to enable us
to maintain additional pensioners.
“We want $2,000,000 toward our
general fund to carry on the work
of ro'education, to run our work
shops, to keep up our markets for
raw materials and our exchanges,
to maintain our industrial school
and our superior school, and to en
large and improve our schools to
future requirements.”

authority in Russia and urging the
people not to obey the decrees of
the Bolshevik!.
All measures taken by tho pro
visional government, ihe manifesto
cays, were with the view of assemb
ling tho constituent assembly and
to tide over the crisis until tho con
stituent assembly would be able to
declare the will of the people, but
this hopo was swept away by the
revolt of tho extremists which dis
located the electoral machinery.
Nevertheless, it advices that th'e
assembly, as elected during the
past few days be convened, al
though it is necessarily incomplete.
The belief is professed that the as
sembly will sufficiently express Rus
sia’s will
Tho manifesto declares further
that thoso members of tho pro
visional government who were re
leased after their arrest had tried
to carry on the government since
the Lenine uprising, especially the
work of finance and of furnishing
the army with food and other sup
plies.
With reference to this, the Pe
trcgrnd correspondent of The
Daily Mail says, all the provisional
government has been able to do
is to provide money for state ne
cessities.
