Where are they ?"

Where are they"
There was no reply. Miss Holt closed
her eyes tlghtly-a habit which seeing
to put her in physical accord with the
blind in whom she is so vitally in
terested.
The interviewer repeated the ques-
ton;
Where are they? What has become
Of the blind men and women and little
children Of Belgium?
The questions were asked OF Miss
Winifred Holt. secretary Of the New
York Association for the Blind, as
she sat at her desk in The Lighthouse
at Ill East Ffty-ninth street, New
York city. Miss Holt has recently re-
turned from England where she went
in the interest Of blind refugees.
II cannot tell where the blind of
Belgium are-because | do not know
nobody knows The remnants Of
them must be somewhere with the
other starving, helpless Ones-but
many Of them"
Miss Holt's eyes were suspiciously
damp. After a pause, she continued:
You see, when Belgium became the
hot-bed Of war and the cities were
bombarded, the sightless ones We're
entirely dependent upon others TO
guide them to safety, and | can never
| think of conditions there among the
blind without shudder. When the
beseged cities fell. not only were the
institutions for the blind opened, but
the prisons and insane asylums as
well, poured forth their surging
masses amongst the refugees.
I'm the mad rush for place OF
uear-safety, what chance would a
blind woman or child or even a blind
man have? The thought of our help
less blind friends amid such a scene
and In such a wild Commotion, pro-
iuces feelings that cannot be shaped
into words"
Another dark, quiet pause, and Miss
Holt said:
when I was in England, q short
time ago, I found a blind woman who
Nad escaped with her little daughter
from the ruins OF Turmonde. Her
home had been completely destroyed
her husband separated from her, and
she arrived in England-penniless
md panic-stricken, unable TO speak
| the language. Through friends, her
husband was found and she is now
| living with him and the little girl in a
comfortable cottage in the northern
part of England.
another case that came to my at
tention was that of a young girl. total

from her family when her property
was destroyed. She finally landed in
England accompanied by an ac-
quaintance, and is now happily pro-
vlded for though the honorary secre-
tary Of the Union Of Unions for
Blind.
"a third case is that OF totally

refrueee from Brussels, where he had
lived for long time, although he was
an American citizen. He was sent via

when the war broke out, there
were IS institutions for the blind In
Belgium; two in Antwerp, two in
Bruges, three in Brussels, and one in
Liege, the Royal Institution for the
Dumb. Deaf and Blind founded in
1919. 1t is doubtful If any part OF
this remains today. At MaeSeyck were
two institutions, one for boys and the
other for girls. The others were in
smaller towns but no report is to be
had Of what has become Of any OF
them nor what Is being done for the
blind people who called these great
buildings home"
When asked regarding the number
of blind in Belgium, Miss Holt said:
mo definite tables are at hand. but
It has been roughly estimated that one
person in every twelve hundred in
Belgium was either partially or totally
blind.
What Of the children-the babies
the doubly helpless ones-what is be-
ing done for them"
'They are with the great throng of
hungry women and children who plod
heavily to the bread lines and wait
and wait-and wait for the milk they
so sorely need-but which Is not al
ways-indeed which is rarely-at
hand to satisfy their hunger
That is why our sightless boys and
girls here at the Lighthouse have
given their little contribution to buy
milk that will go out on the chill
dren's ship, the Argosy. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that we have had to close
our classes here the sympathy of the
blind chldren-my Lights 1 call
them-has been so enormously
aroused that they are giving Of their
earnings to hasten the sailing of the
Argosy. A beautiful feature of their
giving is that It comes from children
representing so many different nation
alties for the light stands on a rock
of neutrality and its services are given
regardless Of race or creed"
Miss Holt turned to her blind stem
ographer and dictated the following
message:
To the Blind Children OF Belgium
"The Lights of the Lighthouse, in
the security and happiness afforded
by the protection Of the lamp, send
through our Argosy,' greetings and
message of love and sympathy to
the blind children OF Belgium; to-
gether' with an offering from their
own earnings, which they have made
with their ten eyes instead OF two"

the believers in Jesus provides the
motive power. Spiritual power com
ing down from God to the hearts OF
men, inspires and conducts these
enlarglng activities which go
forth in Christs name to redeem this
sin-cursed world. In those good old
days" spirituality showed itself in the
shouts of the redeemed, and the
ecstacies of the holy. All their spir-
tual steam was turned into tho
whistle and their shouts were heard
In the camps of the faithful. Today
the spiritual steam-lnstead Of being
turned into the whistle is turned into

Of a Christ inspired beneficence, which
compels doubling world to believe
In him for his very works sake While
there Is less religious emotion than IN
the olden days, there is calmer re-
nance upon God, and as sure a sense
of pardon; but the noisy shouts of tho
steam whistle have died away and,
today, we hear the music OF Christly
lives gong about doing good in a
thousand ways, and making this world
not only a better place to live in, but

Not so very long ago an advertising
manager of one of the most prominent
newspapers in New England showed
me, from his books, how his paper had
lost more than S600 worth OF the
best kind of advertising merely be-
cause the editor had refused to omit
an item OF news that was of not the
least account to anybody The NdVer-
tiscr's cur had struck and slightly in
Jured an old lady and the advertiser
was anxious that his wife, who was IN
very poor health should not know Of
the accident. The editor refused to
omit the item, an dthe advertiser with
drew his advertising. Before he had
restored it the paper had lost 500, 600,
as stated,
The publisher Of newspaper l
was once connected with refused to
modify some news matters as re-
quested by an advertiser, and lost, at
once, n contract for $4,000 worth Of
advertising. And the New York Times
has antagonized the women of America
who believe I'm equal suffrage by COM
ing out flatly uncompromisingly and
Hs 1t seems to me not very effectively,
against equal suffrage.
Yet, while such instances of almost
fanatical independence as these might
be almost indefinitely extended, we
are asked to believe that the recent
journalism is lacking in courage in
dependence and honesty when con-
trasted with the journalism Of those
good old times of Dana, Greeley, Ray
mond, Bennett, the elder Samuel
Bowles. etc. This makes people who
have an acquaintance with the ed
itors and the editorial policy of the
newspapers of today smile--or, per-
haps utter a mild damn beneath their
several breaths.

In those days the newspapers were
small affairs AS businesses the great
est of them were not comparable to
the smallest and weakest of the
papers of today. Dana was able to
overlook everything that was used In
the sun, even to the small news items,
and see to it that his impress was on
them all. He and Greeley and Ray
mond and Bennett and Bowles did not
sCruple TO throw all the force of their
papers for anything they wished to
accomplish or to refuse to print any
thing they wished to keep from the
public. These old editorial war
horses were the rankest kind Of
partisans and never thought of such
a thing as giving their opponents any
thing resembling a fair show The
sun was Danaized, from the top Of
the first column of the first page to
the bottom of the last column of the
last page: the Tribune was Greeley
lzed; the Herald was Benefited; the
Springfield Republican was Bowles-
ized. There was not, in those good
old DAYS anything like Independent
Journalism, as we understand that
term. Those old-timers never stopped
to ask If they were right or fair, or
just-they knew what they wanted,
and that they put into their papers
and rammed down the throats OF
their readers.
Times have changed-they have
not deteriorated-in this matter of the
independence of the editorial depart
ment of the really decent and enlight-
ened papers The business office has
TO keep it's place, and that is down
stairs. The editorial rooms are as
sacred as ever they were, and the
business office man who approaches
them in the hope that he may be able
to get something In to please an ad-
vertiser, or q bank, or some other
business interest, knows in advance
that all he will get will be a basis for
an excuse to use with the person who
put the pressure on him; he won't get
the item or article published-not
once in hundred times.
Editors Of modern newspapers are
shy, deucedly shy; they are on the
lookout for everything that may com
promise the dignity or sully the repu-
tation of their sheets. They. have the
same old antipathy toward anything
that smells of the business office as
those old veterans had More: Those
old-timers whom some of the news
paper critics so eXalt now, .subordi-
mated all the power of their papers to
their own purposes-political. busi-
ness or social No newspaper could
now be run as those of the good, old.
halcyon times were run. Dana,
Greeley. Bowless Bennett Raymond
nnd the other Wattersons OF that
time were men with single-minded
aims. and they made their papers help
put their plans OF schemes, over.
They were strong, virae individuals.
but there is nothing to show that
their aims were any more exalted
than are the aims of the big news
paper owners Of today. or that their
fapers were more free from the taint
OF commercialism than our present
day newspapers

several breaths.
Now, If there Is anything about the
newspapers of today that is demon
strated every day and all day in every
department OF their conduct, it is that
they are so Independent and square,
dealing that they lean over. back and
stand very squarely in their own
financial light l am sure that there
IS not a newspaper of any consider
able consequence in all these United
States that is not consciously and un-
necessarily putting aside money 1t
might take without harm to anybody
and without the knowledge of any
body.
Let me hedge bit: BY newspapers
of consequence l mean those that are
conSequentially decent as we'll as con-
seQuentially large or prosperous. There
are few newspapers too mean to be
allowed to live, and certainly, too
mean to be included when good news
paper practices are being considered.
These are, from year to year, growing
less and Of less account But the
general run Of newspapers are as
honest and square as they need to be,
or as even Dana, Greeley ct al, would
ask them to be If they could come
back and make an expert examination
Of conditions and present-day meth
DDS
Nor do | believe that the news
papers of today are dominated by
their business departments, as is the
idea in many quarters | do believe
that their editorial methods have be-
come too much machinized through
tho orr. o0 to the business of
modern ideas and through the eX-
igencies incident to the enormous eX-
tension of the newspaper field and
the wonderful increase of matters that
have TO be dealt with But it is today
harder to break into the editorial de-
partment Of a newspaper with per-
sonal, political or business schemes
than it ever was in the days of Dana
and Greeley Those old-timers got
their regulations because they We're
autocrats, and because they were, In
the main in the right and inclined to
serve the public good. But the
things that made their regulations
were Of the same nature as the rou-
tine of duty in the editorial offices Of
today.
