DEEP WATER DIVING AS
TRADE FOR BLIND SOLDIERS

London, Oct. 3O.-Deepwater diving
is one of the trades for which blind
ed soldiers may fit themselves, writes
c. Arthur Pearson, chairman of the
Blinded Soldiers and Sailors Care
committee. He says:
Diving Is, / think, a quite new oc-
cupatiOn for blind people. The diver
who is building breakwaters and piers
works in the dark, for even if the
water is clear, his work disturbs it
and renders it impossible for him to
see anything through it. The diver is
one of the best paid of workmen. He
has an attendant to look after him
while below and when he returns to
the surface, and the occupation is
one which | think will prove to be eX-
tremely suitable for intelligent blind
ed soldiers and sailors who have some
mechanical training.

here Prof. Hans Delbruck, the emf

in his youth, said that President Will
son and the pope could bring about
peace in Europe.
At the conclusion of the lengthy
interview during which he accused
Russia of foisting a military policy
on all the nations of Europe and Civ
ing as the cause of the war the pre-
vention of a German colonization plan
by the other nations of Europe, he
said:
81 believe that peace could be had
within a very short time, peace upon
reasonable terms. In fact, the Ger
man chancellor declared recently that
Germany is ready at any time for
peace upon reasonable terms. l be-
lieve that President Wilson and the
pope could be the peace mediators and
practically bring about a speedy
peace"

inals. Released convicts, so far as
they have come under the observation
of this organization, have, in a ma
iority of cases, enlisted in the army
if physically able to do so, and have
made good in civil occupations
when their health made it impossible
for them to serve.
SO many of the able-bodied released
within the past three months have
gone into the army that the associa-
ton has had more jobs of a civilian
nature than it could dispose of, and
wages offered have risen accordingly.
All but 10 of the 53S men who have
applied for work have been given
something to do. Paroled prisoners
are said to have shown an unusually
high percentage of apparent reform
since the start of the war.
