ArmIess and LegIess Austrian Soldiers
Line the Sidewalks of Vienna in
Pathetic Misery.

Last. but not least, among the sights
of suffering in Vienna are the war
cripples, the saddest and most touch
ing, but in one sense the most repel-
lent picture which the city offers.
The plain truth is that these Grip
pies have been abandoned to their
fate. 1t is true that the present gov
eminent has voted to grant ridicu-
lousy inadequate pension to these
men; but up to the present it has re-
fused to put the law into effect. In
place Of that the authorities have hit
upon two measures for their relief
making them match vendors for the
state monopoly, and giving them IL
censes to beg upon the street,
This is the actual fact. While pub
lie begging is prohibited by law in
Vienna, war cripples are provided with
an official police permit allowing them
to appeal to the passerby for charity.
So YOU see in all the best avenues and
squares Of Vienna, particularly in
quarters frequented by foreigners, in
front of the hotels and the entente
missions, blind, arnless, legless. and
otherwise mutilated war cripples, still
wearing military uniforms, begging for
aims.
Some cripples alternate with their
begging working as sandwich men. Ac-
cordingly, not morning passes but

Copy From Nature.

The ram of the modern man-of-war
is the device of the swordfish Of the
Indo-Pacific ocean. The swordfish's
upper jaw has long beak or ram, By
means of which it can pierce not only
fish, but the sides Of timber-built
ships. Even the plants have fore
stalled human inventions. Nearly
everybody, perhaps, has wondered
why the stems of nearly all plants
and the trunks and branches of trees
are round instead of any other shape.
The existence Of tall plants and trees
depends largely on the wind force. And
a tree with square trunk anG
branches would offer so much resist
ance to the wind that it would be con-
tinually having its branches snapped.
1t is for the same reason that en-
gineers build tall chimneys and piers
for bridges round in preference to any
other form.

Picture dirty, ragged, half-starved
armless boy lettering at the mouth of
an alley begging for copper coins-a
hopeless, helpless, pitiful bit of hui
manity. That was Frantik, less than
seven years ago. He could not wash,
nor dress nor feed himself; he could
do nothing but squat by Bohemian
roadside and plead for charity. Then
DR.. Bakule came along and gathered
him up; just as the doctor came along
and gathered UP q number of other
pathetic child wrecks-some without
hands, some without feet, some with
out eyes-and went to work.
He taught them first how to care for
themselves, then manual training, and
finally he taught them to instruct 9TH
ers. In short, DR.. Bakule takes hui
man wrecks among children and in
four or five years converts them into
self-supporting young men and women
with an opportunity to find happiness
in this world.
Can one imagine any group of sound,
two-handed, two-footed American boys
who wouldn't brag little if they had
succeeded in setting up living quarters
in these bare rooms, making their fur
niture Of old boxes doing all their own
marketing and cooking and cleaning
up? That is what the crippled boys in
the Bakule school do; not for a few
weeks, but for months, all the while
putting in long hours in their work
shop to pay their living expenses.
