Feigning Blindness,
French Professor
Wins His Freedom

PARIS, Oct ia professor OF
the sorbonne, the great French
university, recently secured his re-
lease from q German military
prison by a remarkable exercise
OF will power. He fell into the
hands of the Germans In 1915. De
Gliding at once to get free in some
way, he feigned blindness.
From that time It was impossi-
BILE for the German military doc
tors or, eye specialists to catch
him on his guard. They subjected
him to the severest tests. such as
sudden apparitions of unfamiliar
and unexpected objects, sudden
transitions from complete obscur-
ity to dazzling light. He was tor
tured by scientific ways of verify
ing sightlessness. but never once
departed from a fixed, blank gaze,
presenting always. an absolute abb
senee OF expression in his eyes.
He was finally declared totally
blind and included in a recent ex-
change OF permanently disabled
prisoners.

CENSURE AUTHORITIES
FOR COAL SHORTAGE

Failure OF the District authorities
to provide coal for the schools is CEN
Fured today in the report OF the com.
mittee on public schools Of the Board
OF Trade. The committee met last
night to consider the report to be
made at the annual meeting of the
board November IL.
The committee also discussed the
failure to repair the furnaces In the
schools. The report endorses the fund
for the retirement OF teachers and
puts the committee on record as
strongly disapproving the bill In the
House OF Representatives providing
for civic mobilization. The bill takes
the discretionary power out of the
hands of the Board OF Education to
determine what clubs and organiza-
lions are to be permitted to meet In
the school buildings and allows any
organizations, whatsoever, to meet In
them.
A special subcommittee was ap-
pointed to report upon the sugges-
lions made to the Board by school
principals, teachers and others. They
are Roy c. Clahin, chairman; A B.
Gawler, Walter H. Lee, and Ogls r.

WRIGHT JOHNSON
Wins COLONELCY
OF SCHOOL CADETS

Cadets salute your new colonel.
Col. Wright johnson, a senior at
Central high school, IL you please.
For three years he has worked hard
learning the intricacies of drill regu-
:ations, and now his reward has
come.
At the recent examinations for
rank in the cadet corps he made 100
per cent in military tactics. His
school fellows will attest the fact
that his examinations In popularity
and qualities of leadership could not
have been far below the perfection
mark. Though he has been no
shark" in the classroom, his scholar
ship record is not one to be
ashamed OF. j
Colonel johnson is two inches more
than six feet tall. SO he won't have
20 stand on tiptoe to see men in the
ear rank. As soon as he fully rea-
ICES that he really is a colonel, he
IS going to work on new plans for
making the largest cadet corps Wash
ington high schools have ever known.
Pledges Great Efforts.
81 am going to try to show that
Central deserved to get the colonelcy
this year." he said. "As soon as
we get organized l am going to taRe
up work that will be of real benefit to
the country. More than 1000 we'll
trained cadets viii be an asset to
Uncle Sam
I'VE are going to try to organize
two regiments instead of one, as in
the past. With the large number
OF cadets this year, think that II Is
possible.
Il have worked hard for three
years for this appointment, and hope
that i will be able to NIL II salts
factorily- Last year when was only
a fourth sergeant my goal looked
long way on, but hard work alone
has won. Because OF the country's
need for trained men, we hope to get
things under way earlier this year
than we have before.
Il hope the cadets will help me all
they can. Mp appreciation of the
honor will be shown in the attention
l am going to give to the regiment,
the schools, and our country"

Likewise the island has been free
from any campaign against war, and
although the cost OF living is higher
Eere and the native products have
gone UP In price, there has been no
suggestion OF a demand for proper
tionate increase in wages.
Upon request of Governor Ysger ex-
ira crops of thousand OF pounds OF

barring climatic interference, the ISL
and will be self-sustaining in the time
OF crisis.
