Victims of War Into the Light.
By GEORGE PAYNE.

French specialists in the work c
"reclaiming'' soldiers who hiive bee
blinded in battle and teachins; them t
"sec" attain is the interesting new
that friends of Miss Winifred Hoi
have brought back from France.
Miss Holt, it will be remembered, i
the founder and leading spirit of th
Lighthouse, ihe institution of the Nei
York Assoeiation fi.r the Blind, in Eas
Fifty-ninth Street, which has done s
nuich to make Mind people self-sup
porting.
Several months ago Miss Holt wen
abroad as the representative of a com
mittee on men blinded in battle, am
already -he has done so much good ii
France that it is proposed to have i
"Phare Am?ricain" in imitation of thi
l.ighthmise in imst Fifty-ninth Street
Last week Miss Holt opened thi
"phare" of Bordeaux for *t Idlers anc
sailors who had been blinded in bat
tic.
In a letter to a member of the com?
mittee on men blinded in battle Miss
Holt describes her arrival in Bordeaux
and hi r visit to the great militarv hos?
pital there, which is under the direc?
tion of Dr. Martin du Majny.
"As I know German fluently, I asked
to see the German prisoners. I was
permitted to have interviews with
them, and they talked with me frankly
and apparently with great pleasure.
There were five in all. They seemed
extremely grateful for the excellent
treatment they hnd received at the
hospital. Suhsequentlv I was able to
help the authorities a little by reading
some of the German letters of these
men from their families. They all
gave enthusiastic accounts of their re?
ception in France. One of them said
that when he was picked up by a
French ambulance and put onto a
train he received a pint of milk, a
plate of beef and potatoes, some choc?
olate and six raw eggs for a trip of
eight hours. I did not find any in this
hospital who were anxious to fight
again. They had all been too sorely
?tricken.
"In the mean time we investigated
other hospitals, especially the one
where the blind are congregated under
the care of the world famous Dr. La
grange. Dr. l.agrange was equally cor- |
dial about our mission. He said that
about sixty blind ?oldiers had passer
through hi? hands. He summoned int?
his study and introduced to me Lieu
tenant Du Maine. Thi? voung man hai
been wounded in tho shoulder and ttV
thigh at the battle of Cbsrleroi. Ht
continued fighting until both of hi?
eye? were ?hut out and he fell uncon?
scious on the battlefield. He remsined
there for three day?, without food or
drink, feigning ?lead, so that the Ger?
mans would not take him. Finallv, an
no French ciune to the rescue, he ?808
taken prisoner by the German?, and
remained in prison for eight weeks,
suffering greatly from his wound?.
He was Anally exchangeil and placed
in the hospital where I saw him. He
was wearing a war stained uniform
and is decorated with the Legion
d'Honneur and the Medaille de Guerre,
which he hu?l received for his astound?
ing valor. He wa? the leading spirit
of a little group of bliml men.
whom later he introduced to me.
One hud boon fearfully disfigured
by shrapnel, which had removed
the modelling from his face and
completely blinded him. He was still,
however, n stalwart, fine presence from
his shoulders down, and had a great
vibrating, bas? voice. His profession
wns that of carrentrv. There were two
little farmers very small and infi?
nitely pathetic in their blindness.
Thers was ?till another carpenter,
whose sense of fun had survived the
loss of sight. There was one great
blond Viking a Swede, about seven
feet tall and very handsome. The ac?
cident, without disi.guring him, had
merely closed his eye? for all time,
giving an almost Madonna-like appear?
ance to the closed lids. He had he'en a
salesman in a great Tan? store.
"There wai no horizon at all for any
of these men in their blindness:. I de?
termined thst there should be, and told
them so, and gave ench one the hope of
a useful and happy life when we had
opened our Lighthouse for the valiant
soldiers of the 'Sud-Ouest' in Bor?
deaux.

has escaped them. Some of them had

received them into their circles.
Two little fellows wanted. At

about what he ate.
One little girl seemed to think that

after eating a pound of crackers one
afternoon she inquired where thev

The youngsters have greatly enjoyed
riding, both-in carriages and automo?

would "put up the shed" if it rained.

The Everlasting' Nay Brings Lawlessness
It Is the Unreasonable Dont's That Gall a Child's Sense
of Justice-Do You "Bulldoze" Your Child?
"Does your child sneak?''
By Sidonie Matzner Gruenberg.
LAWRF.NCE came running up to
the porch, where his mother
and a visitor were sewing.
Pausing long enough to satisfy the con?
ventions, he asked breathlessly: "Moth?
er, may 1 take off my shoes and stock?
ings and go barefoot this afternoon?"
The negative answer came short and .
sharp. Then Lawrence began to tease.
"You let me Monday and last week,"
he reminded hei. "I know I did," said
mother, "but not this afternoon."
There was no reason given, and none
required, apparently. It was merely a
question of having the last word. Of
course, mother had the last word; it
would never do to reverse her decision.
And certainly it would not do to let
Lawrence take advantage of the pres?
ence of the company. Mother was not
going to spo.l her son by letting him
think that he could get what he wanted
by just nagging for it long enough.
When she said "No," ,vhe meant that
and her boy would soon learn to under?
stand that aha meant what she sau!.
Just a Habit.
Lawrence took his departure, sulking'
, and resentful. When ha was beyond
hearing the suitor aaked: "Why didn't
you let him go barefoot? You evident?
ly don't object on principle, and there
is nothing in the weather, and th
ground is dry enough." The mothei
was not proud of her position. She hac
to confess that she had no good reaaoi
for objecting, only a lingering memor>
of the time Lawrence had cut his to?
some weeks ago. But he had gone
barefoot seyerul times since; there
really was no objection. But having said
"No," she had to stick to it, had she
not? "Perhap.-," suggested the frien?l,
"it's ju;t a babil of denying children's
requests because so many of them are
foolish an?* unreasonableV The moth?
er admitted that probably it was.
"You remind me," said the visitor,
"of Arnold Bennett's Mr. Povey, in his
'Old Wives' Tale.' You remember that
every time his boy asked for some?
thing he;had great difficulty in over?
coming the impulse to .-ay 'No.'"
Mr. Povey and Lawrence's mother
are very much like most other grown?
ups who hive lad to do with little
children. We all know how utterly un
? ? b 1 e are the hundred requests
that a young child can make in a ?lay.
And if you don't know what the child
g to Bah for next, the chances
are very gorni in favor of guessing that
it will be something that simply can- '
not be granted. Is it any wonder then
that we acquire that impulse to say
"No"? Nine times out of ten that is
the right an?wer, and if it happens to
be the wrong answer the tenth time,
why it will be time enough to read?
just ourselves then.
Re\er?ing Decisions Gracefully.
Yourg children can easily be bull?
dozed into accepting the denial of their
wishes unless they are unusually
strong minded or stubborn. Later it
becomes a struggle between parents and
children, and many mothers can be
nagged into submission. Very few of
us can reverse ourselves gracefully, so
that v... nsuall) adhere to our "N.."
even when we should like to change it
to a "Yes.''
Although we hate the idea of bull?
dozing the young children. (?*< get the
habit of saying "No" before consider
? m?rite of the request. Notwith?
standing our ?chagrin on being nagged
?gain and agmn into making conces
slona to our children, we gi
ng "No." However much we may
? it the moment after, we obey
thai impulse and ?till say "No."
Bd! ' is yet to come. For
1 a? the children get older they begin
to reason. Then they will classify
th?;r parents, as they will classify all
their acquaintances, and they will put
us into pigeon-holes that we should
hate to eccupy. They will size us up
as arbitrary as d< elding problems that
con;? up without regard to right and
justice. They will sort us with the
contrary as opposing high endeavor
und the joy of life.
F?'en brfore the da\ ^nee
chil lien will ru/ke up their minds
about the kind of people with whom
they are obliged to live. And if you
are both arbitrary and contrai
you most be if you have the habit of
saving "No" before taking circum?
stances into consideration they will
learn to have the 'bout faking
the pain.' to con-u!' you in advance.
Richard, not yet live, on being re?
proached for going to a forbidden par*
eh aith hi.? companions with
< H retting permission* said: "We
thought you wouldn't let us go. so we
a? crenuine
as well as naive And that is thl .
tude to which children are laevltably
-. by the everlasting nav e\c?-p'
that in time it ceases to be naive.
"Mother, may I take off my shoes and stocking? *
"No iionder Sally sulks."
At the time in the child's develop
i ment when it is most d?r'.culr to retain
ii'idenre and sympathy our rec?
ord for beir^r arbitrary and contrary
will present a real obstacle to a el OSS
understardi*a**. At the time when
eiTWdir"? quest-.- . drive him

ri ience ir our judgment will be de?

and r.ece.-.sary to say "No." Well then,
say it: and ?rick to it! The great
problem is to say "No" nine times with?
out getting the habit, to say "fie" nine
timi-3 and then be still able *
"Yes," if need be, the ten*h time. In
oth?r words, we mu-t avoid getting the
habit of giving children any stereo?
typed answer Every request and every
; itiofl must be met with the fresh?
ness of a new situation and treated on
its merits, ?inly thttl expect
to retain 'he children's confidence in
our judgment and in our reasonable?
ness.
