ID WALK FOR FIRST
 TIME IN 8 YEARS
Victim of Iniant!ile Paralysis As-
 Sured Of Recovery

New York, Aug. 7.-Havipg looked on at life from wheelchair and never taken active part in any of it's affairs since he was l4 years old just 39 years ago-Frederick W. Birge of Middlebury, Vt received the assurance of his surgeon yesterday that in another week he actually would be able to walk. The patient, who has been lying In the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled, 321 East Forty-second street. for 33 weeks, most of that time in a plaster cast covering him from his toes to his shoulder blades, was so overwhelmed by the joyful news that he couldn't talk much about 1t.
 Mir. Birge's case, due to infantile paralysis, is considered by surgeons one of the most remarkable in the history of the disease. Mir. Birge was the first recorded victim of infantile paralysis in Vermont and his case is said to be the longest period of paralysis terminating In recovery in the history of medical science.
 Happy at Recovery.
 There is a bright look of hope in the blue eyes of the farmer patient he and his sister market poultry, dairy products, fruits and berries and thus support themselves. Dr. Arm itage Whitman of 2S3 Lexington ave- nue, visiting surgeon, operated on both Birge's ankles and hips. straight ening and stretching the legs. They have set the date for taking his first step for August Is because that is the thirty ninth anniversary of the loss of the use of both his legs.
 MT. Birge's recovery resulted from a nurse from the after care depart ment of the Vermont State Board of Health hearing of his case and be- coming interested. She urged Mr. Birge to put himself in the hands of surgeons. Dr. Robert Lovett of Bos- ton decided that only one of the United Hospital Fund Institutions could restore him. and last December MT. Birge arrived at the Hospital for Ruptured and Crippled. Among the reasons given by the general secretary of the United Hospital Fund for Mir. Birge's recovery were the manner in which he preserved his mental poise, his cheerful disposition and his un- shaken confidence in ultimate recov- cry,

 Atlantic City.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 7.-Reso- lutions deploring the situation in 1fe- land and opposing the Ku Klux Klan were adopted by the national board of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in annual conference.
 The attitude of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in America, in the un- happy division of the Irish peoN7i' said the Irish resolution, should be expressed in sentiment of soicitous hope for an early cessation of the strife, and that we refrain from ob- truding our opinions or criticisms lest the harsh discord be transmitted to our side of the ocean, although we are confident that a stable govern ment resting upon the will of the majority must eventually rule, and that violent rejection of the popular will is alike incompata ble with pros perity at home or respect abroad"
 The resolution dealing with the ku klux Klan reads: "The ku klux Klan challenge to our Catholic citizenship should be opposed by aggressive. in- telleCludl power. ne TdncOTouS DlsO- try of these secret political societies designed to disbar us from the rights guaranteed by the America we helped to found and build. This malevolence is born of ignorance. and the aims at the destruction of American institu- tions
