Since the war began Eugene Brieux'

the blind soldiers sent back from the
trenches, and the following appeal IN
their behalf is from his little paper,

"Within a year, if we do not receive
sufficient aid, we shall have to cease
all our distributions of help. 1t is
serious. we have sent monthly to 81
families of the blind assistance
amounting to from 20 to 40 francs.

clothes for some of them, enabled q
