With the blind men came war
their greatest consolation on the trip.
He was Walter Z. Baker of Arlington,
N. j., who had been blind himself for
26 years and who had gone to France
eleven months ago under the auspices
of the Allied Permanent Blind Fund to
instruct blind French soldiers in the
use of English. His work was diverted
later to the care and instruction of the
American blind. His chief effort, he
said, was to put the mind of the affiict-
ed soldier into cheerful condition and
to a realization that they would forever
be partly helpless.
Two other ships besides the Saxonia
landed returning troops-the Espagne
and the zacapa. In all nearly 1000

gineers, who had five wound stripes
and had been through three wars. He
is forty-six years old, weighs 1856
pounds and is six feet one. He went
to North Dakota when he was six years
old and for time lived with the In
dians.
He saw service in Cuba in 1898 and
later in the Philippines, receiving two
medals. When the Boer War started
he joined the Boer artillery. He was
wounded seven times. In 1916 Green
raised band of Crow Indian scouts
when the troops were recalled from
The border.
The Saxonia had on board 104 officers
and 1928 men, nearly all of whom were
either gassed or wounded. All except
the fourteen blind men were able to
care for themselves.
Among the blind soldiers was T. W.

fantry, whose sight was destroyed by a
shell in the Argonnc, and whose left
hand was amputated after being shat

The resolution presented by the com
mittee III behalf Of the Consumers
League asking that the convention in
dorse the women's legislative pro-
gramme, including the health insur-
ance bill. the fifty-four hour and no
night work bill for women traction
employees, the minimum wage bill and
the nine hour bill for women elevator
operators, met with considerable oppo-
sition.
Woman Lawyer Objects
Mrs. Frederick Nathan, president of
the Consumers League, made short
speech for the resolution. Miss Amy
Wren, president of the Brooklyn
Women's Bar Association, attacked the
transportation bill on the ground that
it had been drawn up by Miss Helen
Mccormick, Assistant District Attorney
of Kings, without consulting the women
workers or the company officials, and
was, therefore, not a response to the
demand of the workers. The bills were
then taken up singly. Endorsement of
the transportation bill was defeated
and d motion was carried to leave the
matter IN the hands of the legislative
committee and the board of directors,
with the understanding that hearing
would be held,
At the afternoon session Of the con-
vention Assemblyman Mary NJ. Lilly,

tritied the meeting Of the New

Clubs last night with these words:

ever, being a drug addict doesn't
mean necessarily that one is a
rascal or a cheat.
"There are 100000 drug addicts
