1870 SOLDIERS BLINDED
DURING WAR SERVICE
About One-Third Of Them Receive
Training Under Federal Board
for Vocational Work.

Latest reports give the number Of
the A. E. F. blinded in the war to be
$50. Re-education means much for
this class of men. and about one
third of these blinded soldiers are now
!availing themselves of the opportu-
mites for training under the direction
of the federal board for vocational
education.
Poultry raising has been tested and
proved to be a lucrative vocation for
blind men. With the assistance of
members Of their families these blind
ed soldiers are making good at it. Os-
teopathy and massage are attracting
others as occupations desirable for the
blind.
The policy Of the board in building
upon the past experiences Of disabled
soldiers in fitting them for future en-
ployment is adhered to in its dealings
with the blinded. In following this
policy an insurance man and drug
gist are training in their old lines Of
work. learning to "carry on" in the
old way in spite of their handicaps.
These men have lost their sight, but
they still retain their ambitions and
their grit.

Proposes to Crush Anarchy.

Anarchy in mild FORM" he said,
has raised its head in Camden and
must be crushed. The city and county
authorities have determined that law
and order must prevail and will go the
limit to protect citizens even If it is
necessary to call upon the governor
for military protection. If that Is not
sufficient the federal government will
be appealed to. The company must
run it's cars and I have promised them
full protection in so doing"
Most of the trouble has been on the
shipyard lines. where many workmen
have refused to pay the increased
fare. In some instances this has re-
suited in small riots and damage to
street cars. No one has been seriously
injured in the disturbances.

Mayor Condemns "Anarchy"
When Zone Fare Fight
Results in Riots.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
CAMDEN, N. j., September 18.-
With 300 state militiamen mobilized
for emergency duty in connection
with the disorders resulting from the
establishment of a zone system of
fares, and with the entire force of
policemen and firemen, in addition to
number of special sherif's dep
uties, doing guard duty. the New Jer-
sey Public Service Company today
promised at least a partial resump-
ton of trolley service in this city
and points throughout the county.
Car Crews Balk.
Fearing mob violence, the motor
men and conductors yesterday refused
to take their cars from the barns
and the service on all except one
less disorder yesterday than on previ-
Gus days since the zone system was
put into effect, reports reached the
city authorities that shots had been
fired at trolley cars and that threats
had been made to burn bridges In
various parts of the county. There
were demonstrations at the ship
yards where workmen attempted to
wreck the pay ter
minals," but the presence of police
men prevented any serious trouble.
In many sections of the county
citizens held meetings and decided
to continue the boycott of the troll
ley lines as long as the zone system,
which materially increased the fares
for long-distance riders, is in effect.
After conference last night with
officials of the city and county and
Thomas P. McCarter, president of the
Public Service Company, Mayor Ellis
requested Maj. John Andrus to mo-
bilize the militia, declaring the situa-
tion had become one of law and or
der and not one of fare collection.

"The Marsh Maiden
and Other Plays

THERE may have been many suffi-
i cient reasons why The Marsh
Maiden aud Other Plays were written, but
there are very few for their publication.
Mr.. Felix Gould, tine author, mas evidently
studied Maeterlinek's issStatic" dramas and
offered US in book foF the result of his
studies. II!
The three exercises in this slight volume
exhibit many of Maeterlinck's early man
nerisms-the repetition of phrases and
expressions of apprehension and dread
but are entirely without the feeling that
actuated the Belgian.
These plays offer us little more than an
uninspired framework for drama and
poetry. 1t is the same old story: a young
man copies the manner and not the spirit
and the result is stillborn. We could easily
imagine Maeterlinck saying to the writer
Of these pieces:
81 have said my say in The Intruder,
The Blind and The Death Of TintagiIes. /
have used the Static drama form for a
definite purpose; that purpose is fulfilled
Here are my tools, if you want them; but
1 warn you, they are of no use to any
one but myself, and l am inclined to doubt
whether they will serve me again"

Century Readings
in American Literature"

TOUR years ago when Prof. Fred l..
l. Pattee's History Of American lat
eraturs Since 1870 appeared, we remem-
Der hearing one Of the writers most
prominently featured exelaim, "What a
pity that this book has blocked the way
for something really worth whilep This
Judgment may seem a little severe, but
it is very much ours after a careful study
of Century Readings IN American Liter
azure, which, in the language of its pub
fishers, purports to illustrate completely
the evolution of American literature and
to be a trustworthy guide for readers Of
all classes, especially students.
Many of the facts as presented are of
interest and value, and the author deserves
credit for his industry, evident sincerity
and courage in attempting this colossal
task, but most of all for his industry. To
borrow the woodman's expression so rel
ished by Theodore Roosevelt as applied
to his own method of telling trees, Prof.
Pattee has certainly beavered his way
through large mass of material. Some
of the selections from the earlier writers
are difficult of access, and in the case
of H. C. Bunner poems hitherto unpub-
hshed are included. The book is divided
into four parts, the Period Of Beginning,
the Nep England Period, The Period Of
Transition and the National Period, and
is unique in giving special attention to the
literary group following upon the close
of the civil war.
Adequate selections have been made
from many of the writers whom DR..
Pattee has chosen to honor, no less than
thirty-twO typical short stories being
given in full as well as a number of ora
tons, essays and national songs, ballads,
sonnetS and lyrics. In addition to the Sc
lections, a biographical sketch, attended
by few words of critical comment, has
been offered in the case of each author.
We do not find that DR.. Pattee's selec-
lions show any great discernment, nor is
there exceptional value in his criticism,
and, although one naturally expects omis-
sions in such a work, it would appear that
his are unnecessarily luminous. Edwin
Markham, Booth Harrington, Owen Wis
ter, Margaret Deland, Thomas Nelson
Page, Richard Harding Davis, Amehe
Rives and Mary Johnston are among the
most notable.

"The Ghost Town Lundy"

nc 0IlOSl OWL Lulluy
A BOOK which has given us more
"A pleasure in a perfectly moral way
than any we have read for a long, long
time is The Ghost Town Lrndy, narra-
tive poem by Col. Charles A. Lundy. The
town of Lundy having been overlooked in
Q recent story of The Ghost Tosrns Of the
West, Col. Lundy has undertaken to right
the wrong and do honor to the ghost which
he says is more certain and vivid than any
of its sisters. He begins his poem with
boyish memories Of his father:
II seem to see before me now
Ny fathers form and witness how
He gains his home with tagging feet,
And tries to slumber in his seat.
o see his unkempt, bleeding hands,
Impaired by work on others lands.
His mighty frame was bowed with age
Ere years had turned his centre page"
Shortly the prematurely aged man be-
came attracted by tales Of land where
man could impair his hands by work on
his own lands and having engaged his re-
lations started in search Of it. After vast
peril and discomfort they discovered gold
in the heart of the Sierras, built up a
town about the May Lundy mine and
managed to enjoy themselves until the
bugbear rumor got to work and brought
an influx Of quite terrible people-nOne
other than the woman of scarlet fame,
the crafty gambler and his game, and the
outlaw. The gambler built cosey den,
some one presumably the scarlet woman)
q large dance hall wherein she danced
seantily gowned. Things were never the
same in Lundy-went from bad to worse,
In fact, until nature took hand
Combined with rocks and loosened earth
An avalanche was given birth"
and with the destructive aid of fire ended
the towns notorious decade
''The tickle mob, unhoused, had fed
And left its ash to shroud its Dead"
and we can't find it in our hearts 10
blame them.
~The old log cabins ne'er returned;
All but their memory was burned"
But later regular town grew up on
the old ground, back came the gambler
and the smiling dance hall women, and
once again the avalanche descended. Now
"But two weak strands remain to show
The seed they planted long ago:
A mass Of graves-a few gray hairs
That soon will lie with their forebears."
There couldn't be anything much sad
der than that, and it is our impression
that Col. Lundy's tragic saga will keep
Lundy's ghost alive without doubt.
