President Sees
100000 Raised for
Blinded Soldiers

Queen Margherita's Fund for the
Blinded Soldiers Of Italy possessed
enough Of an appeal to win more than
100000 from an audience at the Metro
politan Opera House last night, but it
would be hard to say just how much
influence was cxerted on the assembled
pccketbooks by the presence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
Caruso sang his highest notes and
Mischa Elman played his violin with
all his magic fervor, but the apdence
seemed to have eyes for but one indi-
vidual--the President.
Flags hung from every stretch of
wall and arch in the opera house. The
stage was filled with nearly 800 noun
tain fighters Of the Italian army, AL
peni, Bersaglieri and grenadiers. The
boxes were filled, all but one, and from
that one hung the blue flag of the
President
Maestro Roberto Moranzoni tapped
with his baton and the Metropolitan
Opera House orchestra rose to it's feet
Chief" and suddenly President Wilson
entered the box with his wife and
| daughter Margaret, the audience cheer
ing loudly as they entered.
There was an electric intensity in
the atmosphere, for in some manner II
had been whispered that Germany's re-
ply had been received and that the
President was thinking 1t over. Then
after the cheers had lasted for minutes
the crowd discovered the orchestra was
playing the nationa. anthem of Italy
and those who continued to applaud
were Kissed little bit until they sub
sided. But when the music stopped the
cheering and applause for the Presi-
dent broke out afresh.
After Caruso and Elman, Burr Nc.
lntosh came on the stage and prefacec
an auction sale with patriotic talk
that included a reference to the United
States marines as the "savors of the
