ENORMOUS NUMBER
OF BLIND IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Aug. 20 (by maiD -Sev-
enty blind men recently presented
themselves at the house of commons
''as a protest against state apathy
towards the deplorable conditions of
the blind" An official of the
League of the Blind complained that
money contributed for the blind was
being utilized in paying salaries to Of
ficials which, in some cases, amounted
to $4,000 yearly, while blind persons
are given pensions averaging only
$50 annually. He declared England
had blind population of $4,000, the
great majority of them in dire dis
tress because of prevailing living
costs and the scarcity of employment
for which they are suited.

CITY WORKMAN
IS TO BLAME

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 20 (by Asso-
ciated Press) Officials of the New
York State Grange, representing 1885,
900 farmers, in a statement issued
here placing responsibility for the
high cost of living upon labor, de-
clared that "an economic adjustment
must be made if the world is to be
fed and agriculture preserved" The
Indictment of all workers except
those engaged in agricultural pursuits
is made by Sherman J. Powell and w.
N Giles, master and secretary res
pectively of the Grange, who allege
that strikes have been an important
factor in raising the price of food,
clothing and shelter.
'The first factor in "a happy life is
three meals every day." says the
statement "The next is adequate
clothing and housing to keep the body
warm. The war has only fastened
what every thinking agriculturallst
has seen for years was surely coming.
Rural workers have not received the
support and encouragement which
the urban workers SO easily obtained

churches, houses, shorter hours ana
higher wages for work under more
favorable conditions. This had the
result of steadily drawing from the

degree. Now, instead of going into

who has always produced suffi-
cient food for all, feels that he has
about reached the limit, and that no
labOring man of the city should find

his city brother has taught him.

Need for More censuIs.

The chairman Of the shipping board

ing our consular service abroad, in

chant marine viii be released for use
In foreign trade.
Mr.. Hurley tells US. observes the In

ted States win have $4,000. 600 tons of
merchant shipping by the end Of 1920,
and that as fast as these ships can be
freed from military work they will en-
ter commerce. The present consulates
would be entirely inadequate to handle
this enlarged business. There are not
enough of them, their STATS are too
small and they are handicapped by in
experience with duties that will be de-
manded and by antiquated regulations.
Even now the burden Of work. espe-
cially In the way Of Inquiries to be an

therefore pleads that immediate steps
be taken to remedy the situation.

How He Got Needed Umbrella.

through Illicit means. He is fond of
telling the tale against himself.
While he was walking home one
pitch-black night a sudden storm
broke and, seeking shelter from the
rain, he FASTENED to the nearest door

minutes. he spied a small boy coming
along with an enormous umbrella.

might offer to share. called out sharp-

The lad, startled at the sound which
apparently emanated from nowhere

him. He vanished utterly, and Mr..

NO DISGRACE TO FEEL FEAR
One Rssult Of War Has Been saner
Idea Of What Constitutes
Real Bravery.

An English observer calls attention
70 the fact that our world war has
destroyed the fear of being afraid.
Heretofore, even to most distant an
tfquity, the one quality insisted on In
the soldier was that he should be
fearless and the more callously so the
better. The faintest tremor Of hmid-
ity was black mark against the most
respondent knight as well as the low
lest bowman or halbardier, and the
schooling for war was an utter def
ance Of the personal risk.
This theory held. as many viii re-
member. even till the period of the
Boer war, when the British suffered
30 severely In officers because 1t was
held cowardly for commander to
seek cover. Men, then as now, felt
fear. for that is one Of fesh's attri-
butes and. indeed. Is one of the most
valuable Of human possessions. since
fear Is our protection from dangers
and harms innumerable. We fear wild
beasts to avoid them, snakes and
spiders to increase our attention,
storms and tempests that we may pre-
pare means Of escape from them.
So 1t was only In battle that chiv-
airy insisted that man should be with
out fear. or pretend to be.
With the coming of new warfare.
however. all lands at once came to Q
more sane understanding and the old
physical bravery has given place to
moral resolution. The man who now
enters the hell Of shell fire, of hurled
flames and deadly gases. no longer
attempts to fool himself into the be-
lief that he Is not afraid. He knows
full well and only a stupid nature
could avoid the knowledge that the
human is at the mercy of forces
million times beyond his own ability
to counter. The old knight might
really believe he was able to unhorse
all the enemies that rode against him
and therefore might conceivably be
without fear. but how can a soldier
ffeel that way when facing modern
weapons Of destruction?
Therefore, 1t Is no longer a dis
grace to feel fear or to admit 1t; the
only disgrace il to allow fear to pre-
vent one doing his duty. How much
finer f1bsr IL needed for this new de-
fancel
