''The Blind Mans Eyes"

What would you think Of calling in
a blind man to solve series Of crimes
and mysterious happenings that were
totally inexplicable to people with the
keenest eyes, No doubt you would
say that such an idea was absurd; that
q blind man must depend upon the
eyes Of others and that he is helpless
in trying to see things which they
cannot see. Yet there are the facts
to consider that, being entirely blind,
one is not confused by . mass of de-
tails that appear to one with sight;
that the blind are able to concentrate
strongly and that they develop inner
PERCEPTION and o knowledge Of those
with whom they come in contact and
their motives, that is almost uncanny.
Under such circumstances, an intelh-
gent blind person becomes really an
efficient detective.
In "The Blind Mans Eyes . thoroly
charming romance and mystery story,
written by the clever novelists VIM.
AacHarg and Edwin Balmer, and
which Is being printed as . serial in
the News-C Champion you will find the
most interesting blind man you ever
encountered. In this case he WAS not
called in to act as a detective. He
brought his powers to bear on o series
Of mysteries which greatly concerned
him, his family and friends. With
your best minds eye, you are net
likely to solve these mysteries, but
you can do 20 il you will look at
them thru ~The Blind Mans Eyes:"

For more than twenty years
John A. Lejeune, present COM
mandant of the Marine Corps has
been the military idol OF the Of
fcers and men of that Organiza-
ton. Calm, sagacioUs, and reso-
lutte of nature and equipped with
the most complete military train
ing, General Lejeune possesses
every faculty and attribute nee
essary to the successful leader Of
troops. Beyond and above these
characteristics, however, he owes
his popularity and success to his
unfailing tactfulness, kindlmess
and consideration for all with
whom he comes in contact.
During his career as an afl-
Ger in command of troops Gen
eral Leieune has been distinguish
ed by his eXtereme regard for The
comfort of his men, considering
no difficulty too great and no IN
Dor too strenuous to be under
taken in behalf of the improve
ment Of their conditions of liv-
ing or morale. This attribute has
secured for him a place in the
affections of the men who have
served under him which has sci
dom fallen to the lot of a COM
maudng officer. From being the
idol of the Marine Corps he be
came, during the great war, the
idol Of the Second Division, mc0
of all ranks and branches Of
the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps. uniting in devotion to
their Commanding General.
General Leieuue achieved his
greatest fame in the world war
when he commanded the celebrat-
ed Second Division in the st
Mihiel, Champagne and Meusc-
Argonne offensives.
Arriving in France June s
1918. General Leieune was a.
tached to the S5th Division anG
then commanded the 9th IT,

Paris, Feb. 22.-trance and

The lines will be exploited un-

Washington, Feb 22.-Evidence
that Germany is weakening in

not be surprising to officials here
if in the near future oyertures

Germany's repeated protests
since the French invasion began

all outward appearances ofiic-

able that German officials are
bout to despair of any move

The lapse of years had not
dulled the interest in this his

section of the country lined the
streets along the parade route;
the clear incisivenesS of the
Northern tongue, more nasal of
the Western tone and the broken
English of foreign visitors ming
led with tire softer drawl of ma
tive Southerners, to give the final
cosmopolitan touch.
To the strains of patriotic airs
played by fourteen bands 1000
marchers passed in review this
afternoon in the military, fire
and fraternal organization par
ade. A crowd estimated at So
600 persons packed the various
streets along the line Of pro-
ceSSion and cheered the passing
pageant. It was truly a great
demonstration given by the citi-
zenS of Washington's home town
in honor of the birthday Of the
Father of His Country and no
more fitting plaie could cele-
bratiOn be held than in Alex

which the marcherS passed. Wealth
er conditions were ideal for the
parade.
As the parade passed over the
assigned route in command OF

staff, it was cheered.
AT the reviewing stand on the
