wound proudly, despite his affliction, until his death by accident recently. wishes to honor the memory of that noble son by kindnesses to those sim ilarly afflicted. The gentleman will devote part of his large fortune to the founding and maintenance of a club for onc-eyed men. It will not be limited only to those who lost their sight in the war against the cursed Boche. All men who are without the sight of one eye are eligible to the privileges of the club. Those interested are requested to apply to Number, Rue des Saints Peres, be- tween the hours of nine and twelve on Wednesday,"
 I read this amazing advertisement, so typically French in sentiment, and my eyes filled with tears. It was a charity trifie too bizarre for Ameri- can taste, but it's kindness would ap- peal to the generosity of any country. I placed another coin in my infor- mant's palm, and hurried away from the grotesque scene.
 But at the first corner l stopped, turned, and stared after man who had passed mo. It was the White Eagle; and all my interest in him, which had evaporatcd while I read the strange advertisement, condensed and flowed back into my brain.
 And then interest became amaze ment, for he entered the house be- fore which the groups of blind men stood. Immediately upon his en- trance a servant came to the door and beckoned to the unfortunates. Five minutes later they were all within the house.
 I waited outside, at a convenient corner. Somehow or other I could not believe that this grotesque ad- vertisement contained all that was of interest. Of course, crooks are mo- toriolisly impulsiv6, given to streaks of extravaeant generosity. Neverthe- less, l waited.
 One by one, the blind men began to emerge from the house. All of them seemed happy, as though in- credible good fortune had come to them. Finally the man whom l had tipped appeared. l accosted him, and he beamed upon me.
 "Ah, it is my generous American.
 well, did you join the Club?" I asked.

America can show more reverently,
more alphabetically more heartfelt
appreciation and gratitude for our
boys who in the World war as in all
other conflicts in which the republic
has been engaged, led the van, causing
victory to perch upon the banners Of
righteousness.
Bring flowers to garland the graves
Of Americas soldier dead. What more
appropriate? Tears for the dead, help
for the living. We must not forget the
manned and suffering, that legacy left
by the frightfulness Of the most fero-
cious and heartless war in the history
Of the world. Kaiser Wilhelm sits In
the shadow Of Dutch hospitality and
broods over the fall of the Hohenzol-
lern dynasty. His punishment Is small
compared to the suffering his guilty
reign inflicted on his fellow beings.
Doubtless he is now counting the cost
when 1t is too late to save him from
the just condemnation Of mankind.
Many thousands Of graves will this
year be decorated in France, graves of
American soldiers who paid with their
lives for their patriotic stand for God
and country when the bugle sounded
for the march across the ocean.

Should Mean Much to
Comrades Who Survive

Present-day Americans cannot with
wisdom desert the historic traditions
which their fOrefathers held in such
high regard. Memorial Day has Of late
years degenerated, not due to lack of
zeal on the part Of the few old SOL
dlers remaining, but because Of lack
of appreciation by later generations
Of the spirit which actuated it's incep-
ton. The World war took its awful
toll thousands there are who sleep
forever in France, or Belgium, or some
other foreign land. The bodies Of
thousands more have found last
resting place in the native sod.
Memorial Day should mean much to
their comrades, to those who came
safely home. And to the friends Of
those who came not back. Then let
nation rededlcate itself to Memorial
day, in the spirit which first inspired
those who paid homage and respect
to the soldier dead Of the United

Tributes Are Due
to Fallen Heroes
Observance of Memorial
Day Is Duty and Privi-
lege of Americans.

n MEMORIAL Day, originated as a
wi tribute to the fallen heroes of
the Civil war, has come in
these later years to mean much more
than that, says writer in the Detroit
Free Press. The dwindling lines of
the Old Guard, representing the Grand
Army Of the Republic, will soon pass
In last review before the inspector
general, and the heroes of other, later
wars will take their places.
It Is we'll that we Americans keep
In memory all our men who struggled
in battle to keep Old Glory flying in
the heavens. These men, heroes of
the Spanish-American war and those
Of the World war conflict, now loom
large on the national horizon, and to
them, as well as to the remnant Of the
Old Guard that kept watch and ward
along the Potomac and in the Missis-
sippi valley during the dark days Of
the Civil war, our solemn graciousness
is due.
