Country to SuccOr
Sightless Soldiers

New York. - Preparations under
the direction of the United States
Army authorities to care for all Am
erican soldiers and sailors who will
be blind in the war have been made.
The plan of the Government which
will be carried out under the direct
supervision of Colonel James Bord-
ley. of the Surgeon-Generars depart
men , is to bring the American blind
ed soldiers and sailors to this coun-
try as soon as possible after they
are blinded. They will then be re-
educated on the ninety-acre estate of
Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett. of Balti-
more, which has been donated for
this purpose and refitted to repre-
sent a complete training school, in
cluding workrooms, gymnasium.
swimming pool and the necessary re-
creation equipment.
Here the blinded soldiers will un-
dergo a course of careful and wise
training along lines which have been
successful at st. Dunstans Hostel
for the blind in London, and var
ious institution of the American
British French Belgian Permanent
Blind Relief War Fund in France. so
as to fit them to earn their own liv-
ing as private citizens at some lucra-
tive trade. This training will en-
brace all the trades and professions
TO which experience has shown blind
persons are adapted, such as broom.
mat, mattress and basket making.
rag, and carpet-weaving, telephone
and telegraph operation, including
wireless, piano-tuning. etc. Special
attention will be given also to indoor
and outdoor recreation.
When this is ACCOMPLISHED the In
stitution for the Blind. established
bv the Red Cross, and of which Col
onel Bordley also is the head. will
assume the care of the blinded SOL
diers for the rest of their lives. To-
ward the maintenance of this Insti-
tuition, the American British French
Belgian Permanent Blind Relief War
Fund has subscribed 100000, to be
known as the American Permanent
Blind Relief War Fund Foundation.
This amount will be continuously
supplemented by substantial contri-
buttons from the money collected by
this Fund.
The work of the Institute for the
Blind will consist of equipping the
blinded soldiers with tools and mate
rials to carry on the trades they have
mastered, establishing labor ex-
changes for the marketing of their
products, and giving the proper sup
ervision 20 maintain standard of
excellence in the goods they manu-
facture. The scope of the work is
vast and includes also the looking
after the families of the blinded SOL
diers as far as necessary. 1t is one oI
the many reconstructive plans in
augurated as war measure, which
will result in permanent and far
reaching benefit, not alone to The
battle blinded. but to the great num-
ber of those who have suffered this
afflicted through other causes as
we'll

VOLOGDA AGAIN
in LIMELIGHT
Once One of the Most Import
ant Cities in Russia
Takes on New Life

Sologdn, Rue sia-The German
drive and the peace treaty signed
by the Bolsheviki have brought back
to Vologda some of the Importance
which it had in the days of Peter
the Great.
When the American Ambassador
David r. Francis, selected Vologda
sia during the period when Petro-
grad was threatened by German oc-
cupation, the little city took on new
life.
Prices of foodstuffs scared, and
as more and more Americans came
TO the city. rooms were at such
premium that some members of the
embassy staff were forced to use
for several weeks the train berths
as sleeping quarters,
The only quarters which could be
found by Consul Treadwell for the
American consulate were rooms in
huge barn-like hotel, known as the
Hermitage, which was full of Ger
man prisoners and Russian soldiers.
The consulate's room was just
across the hall from the German
prisoners headquarters, but some
VI lliNSt BItSOlitIS dppcil tAANiN dih ilpN
know America was in the war. Some
of them came into the consulate the
first day it opened and asked if the
Americans were still handling the
matter of prisoners relief.
The embassy was made welcome
and a huge wooden structure for
merly used as a merchants club
was turned over for its use.
Nologda. in the days of Peter the
Great, was one of the most import
ant cities in Russia. 1t is the head
of navigation of the Nologda River,
which empties into the Arctic at
Archangel. and for centuries the
ships of the European traders sent
their cargoes into Russia by this
route.
Peter the Great lived in Nolagda
for several years and built here the
nucleus of the first first Russian
Navy. After the building of Petro-
grad. Vologda lost most of its inn
portance, though river steamers still
ply between here and Archangel.
Nologda is the junction of the
Nladivostok- -Petrograd and the
Archangel-MoSc Railway lines
and was selected as the embassy site
because of its transportation con-
Neniences.

Gives Up Pigeon Farm
To Save Wheat For Allies

junction City. Kan.-Because of
the war z. D. Zellner, of Junction
City, is giving up one of the most
unique and profitable businesses in
the city. Mr.. Zellner for years has
owned one of the biggest pigeon
farms in the state, raising squads
for the Chicago and New York mar
kets, where they commanded one
dollar each. However, the pigeons
would thrive on nothing but wheat,
and Mr.. Zellner's train bill ran
from $50 to $3.50 a month. Rather
than feed wheat to pigeons, when
it is needed so badly for the Allies.
Mr.. Zellner is closing out his busi-
ness and has shipped one lot of 1 900
homers to Boston by express. The
cost of transportation was five cents
each.

"The aristocrats." he said in an
interview, "were made to rule. and

said one day that it was painful to
him to fight the French army because
officers were not aristocrats.
