WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.—For them
who shall exist in darkness to the end
of their days -soldiers who have paid
with their eyesight part of the price
of victory the army machinery of
reconstruction is nov beginning to1
function. At general hospital No. 7.
just outside of Baltimore, and under!
the special Bed Cross Institute for!
tlie Blinded, the tirsl group of ninej
has been assembled and is struggling
painfully but hopefully over the in
n icacles of Braile type, taking thej
iirst steps on the long road that will I
end when senses of touch and hearing
have sharpened to a keenness that
will to some degree compensate for
the missing optic nerve. There arc
ten more on the way hack from
France to take up the training, and
up to a recent date this was the total
number of the absolutely sightless i
that Ameri an armies had to report.
Naturally enough, of the first nine.!
accident and disaster incident to han-|
dling of explosives accounted for a
larger proportion than did casualty
inflicted by the enemy. Sergeant Zim
merman. a Texas truck driver, first |
man tn come into the hands of the?
| institute, and now its prize patient, j
was found after an automobile ac i-1
dent in France, pinned to the ground |
tinder his engine. He lived, but tne j
.optic nerve was paralyzed. Yet;
now. after comparatively hut a few
months, he can read and write the
Hraile, which is the surious set of
dots prieked through paper which
spells out letters for sensitive linger
lips, and likewise hummer out on a
typewriter accurate letters tor any
person's reading. Teaching the use
ul the typewriter as a future oecupa
lion for the Idimled oldicrs i one ol
the courses which the in irttetors
have developed
Having a very particular gill friend
in New York, and exchanging corre
spondence with her. it grew just a bit
embarrassing to Sergeant Zimmerman
to require attendants to read all her
return letters to him. When his em-j
barrassment was discovered a young
woman lending auxiliary aid To' the
Red Cross boarded a train and is now
in New York teaching the girl to write
Hraile too.
This is a fair sample of the extent
to which the extra-official care is go
ing. The library of congress has lung
been lamous for its reading room for
the blind, with its extensive publica
tion in Hraile Mrs. Gertrude Rider,
who heads it, has been an active as
i sistant to the institute, which Ls in a
building of its own. There is a "cheer
lip" hook now being prepared which
j w ill assist the soldier students to learn
I as well as to entertain. The heads of
civilian institutions for the blind have
j been interested in the effort
As yet the institute hits no gradtt
| ates lined to enter civil life, because'
! the soldiers will not he discharged'
until tney nave neroinc |>r<Ml< :em in
a new occupation and able I" main
tain independence. The Idea is not to
keep them off a pension ii.-t the ill
! suram e policies they hold provide
j $!<»<* a month to keep them from want
hut to keep off the feeling of use
j lessness that leads to despair, and
i hold out for them a definite place In
life in spite of the handicap that has
been forced upon them. The polity
form is the same hr all the mutilated i
in the nation's casualty lists.

Meetings of the Boy Scouts will be
discontinued until further notice.
