soldiers and their friends, and an en-
ioyable picnic feast was greatly IN
evidence.
At the business meeting of the vet

work of the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy.

AMBASSADOR PAGES DAUGH-
TER MARRIED IN LONDON.

London, Aug. 4-Miss Kathrine
Alice Page, daughter of the American
Ambassador to Great Britain, and Mrs.
Walter Hines Page, was married to-
day at the Chapel Royal, st. James
Palace, to Chas.. Greedy Loring, son OF
Gen. Chas Loring, of Boston. The
ceremony was performed by Bishop
Boyd Carpenter, sub-dean of West
minister Abbey, assisted by the Rev.
Edgar d. Sheppard, sub-dean of the
chapel Royal. The wedding was very
simple because the Ambassador
family desired to avoid anything re-
Esembling social function during the
war.
The invitations virtually were limit
ed to persons in official life and init
mate trends of the family, the guests
numbering hardly more than 100.

"Goinr TO France to keep blind men
from going mad go, az.
That is the mission on which MISS
Winifred Holt, who laid the first stone
of the Lighthouse in Fifty-ninth street
and has been chief keeper of the light
ever since, sailed on the French liner
Rochambeau yesterday. The New YORK
Association for the Blind decided that,
with fifteen hundred men reported
blinded by the war and probably many
more unreported, the head OF the or
canization is more needed in the war
zone than she is at home.
Accordingly, a committee has been
formed. with Joseph II. Choate presi-
don't, Bishop Greer honorary chair
man. John II. Finley chairman, MIS-
Peter Cooper Hewitt secretary, William
Forbes Morgan. jr., treasurer. and MISS
Emily H. Bourne, Senator Gore, Her,
bert L. Satterlee, William II. Taft and
Arthur Williams members. 1t is called
the Committee for Men Blinded in Bat
tie, and has planned a big WORK
abroad. Miss Hollis knowledge OF the
problems Of blindness, as we'll as the
fact that she speaks French, German
and Italian, make her peculiarly htted
TO organize that work.

after the beginning OF the war, doing
what could. But when | feel myself

tain peak for a while and get strength
10 go on. ,.,
There never was a war In which so
many men were blinded. not only be-
cause this is the greatest war ever
fought, but because il is fought mostly
from the trenches, and that means
wounds in the head. Then the concus-
sion of the huge artillery, the burning
FIRE and gases, all these combine TO rob
soldiers of their sight. We don't know
how many Of these men who have given
their eyes for their country are ma
rooned in improvised hospitals, remote
farmhouses and chateaux. but ] am
going to find them. They have got to
be found and helped before they go
mad, for madness is what comes on

unless he is taught some work that he
can do"
Miss Holt dived into her bag and
brought out some dominoes with raised
dots and indented sides that fitted into
one another.
"They need play, too" she explained,
