NOT "HOPELESSLY BLIND.

About 1000 soldiers of the Allied armies
We're rendered permanently blind by the war
One fourth as many more may be unable to re-
spond to the treatment now being given to pre-
vent the same catastrophe for them.
In former years instead of permanently
blind, we should have said "honelessly," and
these 1000 men would have become mostly de-
pendents, pitied, enslaved by a mistaken kind
ness. But in these days "hep tie blind" does
not mean tin cup for pennies and black and
tan pup for guide. 1t means Teach the blind!''
Teach them from amazing range Of subjects,
for which their infirmty fits them rather than
dsqualifes them.
1t would be hard to find a more interesting
or encouraging talk on the subpect than an adj
dress to the blinded soldiers written by King
Coor"n Of England which has been printed in
raised letters that it be read easily by the
men who cannot see He says in part: "If
there is one thing which can urge upon you, it
is not to despair. The time has gone by when
blind man was being without resources, in
capable of providing for himself or enjoying
life. Hundreds of our soldiers who lost their
sight in this war have already, thanks to their
strength of soul, their patience, and assisted by
professional education, learned to resume their
former occupations"
The marvellous part of it is that the 'profes-
sional' education has been given since the men
were blinded, and means intensive education to
fit the man to do, without his eyes, what he did
before he lost his sight.
Not only to the blinded soldier, but to all who
are sghtless, this message is one of hope and
inspiration. The blind are to be led by way
that they knew not Begging basketry and
piano-turing are no longer the limits which cir
cumscribe the blind man. But just like every
body who ever accomplishes anything, he must
have strength of soul and patience" For his
helpers can give him only the opportunity; his
use of it depends upon himself
Imperial Valley press., 1919-02-04
A POUND OF PREVENTION.

Those who have paid small attention to the
methods of the United States government IN H.
nancing the war may not be exactly clear IN
their own minds as to the way of the next Lib
erty Loan which will be called the Victory Loan.
No one was planning on the Germans quit
ting in 1918 instead of taking the knockout
punch in 1919. All our preparations were made
for a great 1919 finale The stage was set and
the preparations We're ready. The Germans IN
the front line had discovered the unbeatable
fighting qualities of our men, but the German
al staff was moved to ask for peace for an
additional reason.
As final cure for German vciousness in
1919 we had assembled ready for the coming
campaign more than ten tons of gas for every
ton the Germans could make; tank for every
seventy-five feet of fighting 'front.' batteries by
the Thousands where we had but one before;
aeroplanes in he same proportion and millions
more men ready to start for Berlin. But this
cure that had been mixed with the pestle of de-
erminaton in the mortar of American industry
became prevention.
The German general staff knew more about
this cure than the American officers. The mag
nitude of the dose with the proved abality of
the men who were to administer it decided the
German staff that it was quitting ime
BY ending the war in November 1918, in
stead of in 1919 more than a half million Amer
lean lives were saved. The coming Victory Loan
is to pay for having these lives and the fact that
the bill will be heavy is because the pound of
cure became a pound Of prevention, instead of
an ounce.
Everyone prefers to pay for prevention es-
pecially when it saves 100000 lives and that's
why there will be one more Liberty Loan.
Imperial Valley press., 1919-02-04

Today nearly every community IN the coun-
try that contains any considerable proportion
of foreign residents is turning its attention to
such instruction. Teachers are in great demand
for night schools, factories and workshops.
To accomplish their work successfully, these
teachers must have patience and tact well as
enthusiasm and energy. In the night schools
the learners have usually been through long,
hard DAYS work and are physically tired out.
1t is the business of the teacher to be so inter
ested and at the same time so simple and direc
in methods that the pupils forget their weari-
ness in the fun of acquiring new and usuable
sentences. Every lesson must be so helpful that
the foreigner will go away with desire to come
again soon and to bring his friends.
Many factories with foresighted leaders are
cooperating with the Americanization workers
by giving their employees time off in the morn
ing to attend such classes. The learners come
to the class-roo then comparatively fresh in
mind and body and can stand stiffer course Of
instruction.
The big thing is to make the foreigner feel
that every lesson gives him a little more famil-
arity with the terms he needs to use in his work,
in his daily lifo. in his purchase of food and
clohing in his conversation with fellow work
ere or neighbors who already know the langu-
age. Then he will learn quickly and happily,
not only the language of America, but the ideals
and customs as well.
Imperial Valley press., 1919-02-04
COLLECTIONS EASY.

There is not going to be any difficulty ABOUT
collecting American claims against Germany.
They have already been collected, through tiie
seizure of German property under federai Id"
by Alien Property Custodian A. MltcheI ai
mer. :.
The property already seized, and sofa Or OF III
process of being sold, amounts to ABOUT 9too,
900 This is said to be enough to offset all
the American property seized in Germany ana
to leave enough to satisfy all American CLAIMS
(private and public for property DESTROYED py
German acts of war. There is even likely TO De
a balance left.
This estimate presupposes that there VIII oe
no war indemnity imposed on Germany over ana
above the various claims for damages which
would have been presented even if we had not
entered the war.
There is no apparent intention on the part OF
the United States government o unload Is acual
war expenses on Germany, as our allies talk OF
doing. This policy may change before the peace
conference ends, and bill may be presented
for at least prt Of our expenses, to harmonlze
our policy with that of France, Britain and 1t
alv. Such payments would necessarily nave TO
be extracted from Germany with some dlffl-
Guilty, over long period.
However, if the present plan of no indemnity
is maintained, the whole business of settling ac-
counts with Germany will be simpler and easier
for the United States than for any other belllg-
erent
Imperial Valley press., 1919-02-04
"TNTERNATIONALTUING" LABOR.

1t is somewhat surprising, and not at all dis
pleasing, to learn that the peace conference at
Paris recently gave a session to the discussion
of international labor. It appears that the con-
ference wants to establish a commission to deal
viii world wide labor questions. They may be
ar international conference, representing both
labor and capital, called soon to formulate gen.
eral program. Ultimately, it is suggested, there
may be permanent labor commission respon-
siblp to the League of Nations.
There would be broad field for such an in
stitution. 1t could deal better than any exist
ing agency with such problem as the pay and
working conditions Of sailors, Strengthening out
for example, the inequalities now existing be-
tween American standards and those of other
nations. It would not interfere, of course, in
the internal affairs of any country. 1t could,
doubtless, do much to promote good relations
everywhere between capital and labor, dissem-
mating useful information and bringing uni
formity into industrial standards in many lands.
