LONDON, Dec. 13.--The blind came
in pilgrimage to London to-day. Two
thousand of them from all parts of the
United Kingdom followed afoot behind
the cortege of their greatest bene-
factor, Sir Arthur Pearson, from Trim
ity Church, Marlebone, to the Hamp-
stead Cemetery. Such a procession
London never saw before.
Two hundred brigade guards formed
a corridor behind the hearse to guide
the sightless mourners. Many of the
marchers were ex-service men, but
others we're gray and could remember
when the great publisher himself had
been stricken blind and had become
their stanchest benefactor. The fu-
neral services were led by a sightless
minister and the songs chanted by men
who could not see.
Only the throngs of oplookers could
see the mountain of wreaths and flow
ers that covered the baronet's grave
Tributes from the royal family were
there side by side with memorials that
soldiers had woven. The blind .eader
