Bisbee daily review., 1918-08-11

A series of parties for the last few months have been given in Bisbee to raise money for relief of the unfortu- mates that have been permanently blinded in this great war This splen- did charity is not only for French, Bel gian and British but for American sol diers from whom the light of day has been forever shut out.
 Mrs. F. E. Shine, who is at the head of this benevolent work has recently received some most interesting letters from headquarters of this permanent blind relief fund in New York, thank ing the kindly people of the Warren District for their charitable efforts and to give it a personal touch sending some pictures of the blind and then history which is all of how they fell fighting. But the good work must continue and with greater zeal as the following letter shows:
 My Dear Mrs. Shine:
 The following is an extract from a , sc received from our French Com | ..ce:
 c are urgently in need of funds for the purpose of returning home over three hundred blinded French soldiers who have been re-educated but are waiting for tools and raw materials to enable them to carry on their new trades in their own homes. This equip ment, which includes the payment Of rent for one year and the purchase of a few necessities in order to give each man a chance to get a start, costs S25O Are there not among our Com mittees and friends in the United States many who would be willing to adopt" one of these blinded soldiers and contribute the necessary S250 JO establish him in his new life? We must not, through lack of funds, fan the men at this critical point. They have been led to courage and hopeful ness by careful, patient training, and they must not be allowed to return to the blank despair of their early days of blindness.
 We are sending you herewith pho5C. graphs and histories of a few of the men referred to, hoping you may be able to help us in finding benefactors for them. If you are spending the summer away from your home, VIII you not endeavOr to interest the hotel guests and summer residents in this imperative cause? A history of the blinded soldier on parchment inscrib- ed with the name and address of the donor will be forwarded upon receipt of donation.
 Very sincerely yours,
 BERTHA BLOOM
 Permanent Blind Relief War Fund.
