Sightless British
Officer Will Tell

the blinded British officer, whose ad-
dress, will furnish the most serious
and emotional feature of the elabo-
rate program at next Monday nights
A. b. F. b. fund entertainment at
the Academy of Music. is probably
the most picturesque figure In all the
vast system OF war relief work which
is now being conducted throughout
the United States, according to an
announcement by the local A. b. f. B.
committee.
Sergeant Major Middlemiss. who
has n wife and child to support, is
typical of the many blinded soldiers
of the allies, whose lives would be
wrecked but for the present wide
spread movement to aid them.
Although he will never be able to
resume his profession as a soldier or
perform any work requiring sight, he
has been taught the blind trades of
typewriting and massage at st. Dun
STAINS, the institutions for the re-edu-
cation for the blinded soldiers of
England. His own living and that of
his wife and child being thus perma-
nently assured, he Is happy. cheerful,
buoyant and probably laughs and
jokes more during the day than any
other person at the busy, active head
quarters OF the B. F. B. funi. $50
Fifth avenue, New York city.
Sergeant Major Middlemiss. at the
outbreak of the present war. was
soldier by profession. He has served
In the British army ever since he was
eighteen years old. his present age
being thirty-fiv He had served in
South Africa, Egypt and India. In
April, 1915. with his. regiment. the
Kings Own Scottish Borierers. he
was taken to Gallipoli. where he was
blinded by hand grenade during the
first hour OF action.
He was taken back to England ana
was placed In st. Dunstan's. He
learned from Sir Arthur Pearson that
the American section of the y. b.
+. B. permanent blind relief war
fund desired the services of blinded
soldier to lecture throughout the Uni
ted States. Sacrificing his personal
plans, Sergeant jor Middlemiss i'm
mediately volunteered to come to this
country with his wife. He has at
ready iectured in New York and at
Saratoga Springs, Long Branch, At
lantIc CITY and many other flacea and
has deeply thrilled and moved large
audiences nv his sturdy, courageous
personality and by the remarkable
character of his address.
Sergeant Major Middlemiss' de-
scription of how il feels 10 become
suddenly blinded In modern warfare
is said to be one of the most dramatic
pieces of word painting ever given on
an American lecture platform.

mind too great for words, he SAID
