 In France there still remain to be re-educated something like 1.500 blind heroes.
 In Belgium, the quarters and work shops which during the war were erected by the fund for King Albert's blind soldiers at Port Villez. France, having been abandoned, Queen Eliza beth has provided a chateau at Boists- fort-leZ- -Bruxelles, in which training school has been installed. Belgium amassed sufficient funds to start the work there. but requires financial as- sistance to keep the institution going and also considerable equipment. At present thirty men are being e-edu- cated in the school
 As regards Italy. there Is the same lack of accommodation for the blind men as existed in France before the Permanent Blind Relief Fund went to that country's relief. There are up- wards of 500 men awaiting their turn for rehabilitation. The fund, after a thorough, investigation by MT. George A. Kessler, who consulted with leading Italian authorities on the subject and with officials of the Italian government, decided to help establish, through the Opera di AsSiStenZa, which had opened school in Rome an up-to-date train ing institution, conducted on the lines that have proved so successful in Paris and at St. Dunstan's in London Upon leaving this institution the pupils will
 become the wards" of the Permanent Blind Relief War Fund.- that is to sav,
 money will be given to each man with which to buy the outfit necessary for starting him in his new trade and to pay his rent for a year. It is planned also to establish rew material depot in Rome.
 In Rumania including the territories acquired as a result of the war it is
 estimated that there are 250 blinded soldiers. For these a training school, after much difficulty has been founded near Bucharest, under the personal di- rection of Queen Marie.

 Thirty lei (about $6) month is all the Rumanian government has been able to allow their war blinded. Pending

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
TREND OF PRICES DOWNWARD

New York, Dec. 15.-Price move ments during today's desultory ses- sion of the stock exchange were mainly downward, despite further moderate improvement in the inter- national exchange situation and more hopeful" signs ip domestic industrial conditions.
 These factors were offset by tighter money, due mainly to heavy trans fers of bank funds in connectSn with the payment of federal income taxes and the decision Of the United States supreme court sustaining the validity of war time prohibition.
 General news over the week end dealt with the unabated demand for merchandise at leading business cen ters. variable gains in tonnage at principal railway terminals and the plans of American bankers for the formulation of comprehensive for eign trade programme.
 The deadlock in congress respecting the. immediate future of the trans portation systems was again re- hected in the heaviness of rails while latest aspects of the Mexican situation accounted for the reaction among oils.
 The latter group, together with mo- tors and their subsidiaries, equip ments. shippings and affiliated issues were three to eight points down at their worst. but rallied sharply in the final dealings, when call money eased from nine per cent. to six, a few leaders recording moderate gains at the irregular close.

THOUSANDS OF WAR HEROES
 BLIND AND STILL HELPLESS.

WLA3 many relief organizations have been able to wind up their activities since the signing of the Armistice, the Permanent Blind Relief War Fund for Soldiers and Sailors of the Allies. whose headquarters are at 590 Fifth Avenue, New York, finds it's ministra- tions as urgently in demand as ever. The principal reasons for this are that blinded soldiers stay blind and it takes a long time and lot of money to train each one of them to be independent; that large numbers of them still await their chance to be helped; that addi- tional victims are losing their sight in battles still being fought for the liberty of the world. and because the fund has been appealed to by nations devastated and impoverished in the world conflict to continue in their behalf its merciful task of reconstruction and rehabilita- tion.
