LOSS 0F SIGHT IS
 ONE WAR TRAGEDY
Many Able-Bodied Young Men
 Made Blind on the Field
(CorTespondence of The Associated PressD

Correspondence of The Associated PressD
 London, March 25.-One of the deepest personal tragedies of the war as brought home to the British peO- pie is the long list of young soldiers and sailors who have lost their eye sight in the conflict. At St. Dunstan's Hostel for Blinded soldiers and sail ors there are at present about 12O students, officers and men, represent ing Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand and Belgium. In addition there are a number of men in an- nexes at Brighton and Torquay whose wounds thus far have prevented their taking up work at St. Dunstan's.
 Never before in British history have so many young men who are otherwise able-bodied been brought together in the helpless state Of blind ness, and the problem of handling them is entirely different from that presented in d home for people who have lost their sight through disease or like causes, and new methods must be applied to meet the situation.
 St. Dunstan'S itself is a place Of beauty and full of historic interest Once the villa of the third Marquess of Hertford, the 'Steyne" of Vanity Fair, it is now the London home Cf Otto Kahn, the American financier, who has loaned it to the Blinded soldiers and sailors. Care committee under the chairmanship of C. Arthur Pearson, widely known as publisher and president of the National Tastitute for the Blind About the spacious villa are fifteen acres of well Kept lawns, trees and shrubbery. An arm of Regents Park Lake runs into the grounds, thus affording facilities for boating. All this is at the disposal of the blind men and thnv have l Aon

of them to acquire such skill that the articles they produce are Salaole. Door mats, baskets of every shape and size bookcases, picture frames and many other things are turned out in the wOrkrOOms with accuracy and finish.
 Near the workshops is the poultry farm where those men who desire to live in the country are taught poultry keeping and simple market gardening. The men quickly be- come proficient, learning to distin- guish the different breeds of fowl. to ] tell the weight of a bird, to manage incubators, and all the rest that goes with poultry raising.
 MT. Pearson believes that the mas sage business is likely to prove the most lucrative of the occupations taught at St. Dunstan's. Primary in struction in anatomy and physiology is given at the hostel, and when tEe primary stage is passed tuition is con- tinued in the massage department at the National Institute for the Blind.

 is studying assiduously to master the ways of the kingdom of darkness. He is but one of many interesting Joung men among the students.
 The average duration of training at St. Dunstan is probably about six months When the men leave the hostel great care is taken to see that they settle in suitable localities where t1a work they have selected can be pursued Their training places them in a position of comparative independ- enco for in addition to what they can earn they receive pensions of about $6 a week and more in the case of commissioned officers.
 MT. Pearson stated that the Ma tiOnal Institute for the Bl1nd has started a special branch which has for it's object the after-care of the blind soldiers and sailors. It is planned to erect a large building to be devoted principally to this use. There raw material will be supplied to the 1uen at cost price, and difficulties with re- gard to selling goods made will be SmOothed over. In such work as boot repairing, where no articles are pro- duced every effort will be made to se- cure steady employment.
 It is not all work and no play at St. Dunstan's. The men row on the Lake, play pushball, swim m nearby baths, and engage in other amuse- ments to their liking. Entertain ments are provided regularly, includ- ing dances twice a week. Most of the Tommies and Jack Tars dance very well and enjoy these occasions inn mensely.

Descendant of Admiral de Grassc Committed to Save Health and

New York, April 6--Mrs. Jennie de Grasse Monohan, q, granddaughter of Admiral de Grasse, who commanded the French fleet when Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, and once widely known as a beauty of Hurt- ington, l.. l., was sent to the House of Mercy at Inwood for three months yesterday by Magistrate krotel, as a habitual drunkard.
 Mrs. Monohan inherited a fortune from her father, G. Barclay Ward of Huntington, only a few thousand dol lars of which remain. Assistant Cor poration Counsel William Chilver5 has been appointed guardian of her estate. When he heard she was to be released from the Harlem hos pital, where she was taken threc weeks ago from the home of he'" former husband, Charles Whelp, 202 West 135th street, MT. ChilVerS got a warrant for her arrest.
 He told the court she had no homo to go to and was unable to take care of herself or her affairs. Her brothers, c. Barclay Ward and Louis Delancey Ward live at Huntington. Mrs. Monohan is 38 years old. Fifteen years ago she was one of the most popular women in Huntington.

 And more than that, don't you do 1t if you expect me to pussy-foot on any single issue 1 have raised,'' he continued. Don't be for me unless you are prepared to say that every citizen of this country has got to be pro-United States, first, last and all the time, and no pro-anything else at Ill, and that we stand for every good American everywhere, whatever his birthplace or creed, and wherever he now lives and that in return we de- mand that he be an American and rothing else, with no hyphen about him.
 Every American citizen must be for America first and for no other country even second, and he hasn't any right to be in the United States at all if he has any divided loyalty between this country and any other.
 'I don't care a rap for, the mans creed or birthplace or national origin, so long as he is straight United States, and if he isn't I am against Linn. And don't you nominate me unless you are prepared to take the position that Uncle Sam is to be strong enough to defend his rights and to defend every one of his people wherever those people are, and he can't be strong enough unless he pre- rares in advance.
 T am not for war; on the contrary, I abhor an injust or Wanton war, and l would use every honorable expedi ent to avoid even just war. But I feel with all my heart that you don't in the long run, avoid war by mak ing other people believe that you are afraid to fight for your own rights.
 Uncle sam Must Be Prepared Uncle Sam must never wrong the weak; he must never insult any one or wantonly give cause of offense to either the weak or the strong, and the squarest possible way to ena able him to keep the peace and to keep it on terms that will enable Americans to hold their heads high and not hang them in shame is for him to be so prepared in advance-and mean prepared in his own soul as well as with his army and navy--that when 1 he says anything the rest of the world will know that he means 1t, and that ! he can make it good.
 Don't you try to nominate me unless you think that is the policy l that ought to be followed out, and l followed out for your sake as much as for mine, and for the sake of the rest of us here in the United States, and don't forget that isn't a, course that proVokes war; it is the only course that, in the long run, prevents war, and secures national self
 respect and guarantees the honor of this country, and the rights of it's

SightIesS But PhiiOSOphiC.
 MT. Pearson, a man of magnetic personality and the moving spirit of the hostel. lost his sight a few years ago and the bright philosophy of life which he has developed for himself prevades the place. MT. Pearson's theory of conducting St. Dunstan's was expressed by him to a represen- tative of The Associated Press thus:
 ''The main endeavor here is to get into the minds of the blinded men the root principle that they are handi- capped, not afflicted. The latter word iG used far too freely in connection with blind folk. Tell a man that ire is afflicted and his mental outlook oh life will bear that stamp. But tell him he is handicapped and if he is d good fellow at heart his supporting spirit will assert itself and he NIll adopt all the means that are shown him to enable him to catch up with the fellow to whom circumstances have given a start
 Since the school work at St. Dun star's began, thirty-five men have been graduated, having learned one or more occupations, such at boot re pairing, massage, matchmaking, basket making, joinery, poultry farming and market gardening. Virtually all of these men read and write Braille and typeWrite with the ordinary machine. All are now said to be earning good incomes
 There are 72 teachers. all but 12 of them voluntary, and each pupil has individual instruction. Many of the instructors themselves are blind. The feeling of helplessness which over Whelms a strong, healthy, newly blinded man." said MT. Pearson, ''is incredibly relieved when he finds that the one who is to instruct him in some profitable employment is suffer- ing from the same handicap as him self"
 The working day is divided between the class rooms, workshops and train ing schools so that each man acquires an all round education. All the stu dents learn to read and write Braille, and some of them arc studying music. A number of men havo learned the difficult art of reading with the finger tips in two weeks. Seventy -threc havo passed the typewritins test, which means that they can write a letter without mistake at a +air rate of speed. When a man passes .his examination he receives a prize cf 8 typewriter.
 One of the most remarkable fea- lures of the school is the progress be- ing made by some of the men in learning Braillc shorthand. They operate on a little machine of seven keys which punches the characters on strip of paper. These characters later can be read with the finger tips and transcribed on the typewriter. Several of the men who were sccre- tarics before joining the army arc learning shorthand and typing for the purpose of resuming their former work.
 Tn the shops men who have lever handled tools become adept quickly. A few weeks practice enables many
