It n.is learned ye.-terday that one of

American Initiative again has stepped 1
to the fore. A (roup of Americans who 1
deeply sympathise with the French cause I
have banded themselves Into a commit- I
tee to assist In teaching- the blind. Miss
Winifred Holt, well known In America 1
for her work with the blind in "The
Lighthouse" In New York city, was the
originator of (he Idea.
anrricana Aid Blind.
Hhe was In London when the war
broke out as American delguta to the I
International congress of the blind In I
that city. Realising Vhiit great nppor- i
tunltles the war offered to aid those who '
have been rendered nlKhtless. she came
to Paris and succeeded in gathering
sufficient funds among American friend
to carry on a limited amount of work
With the soldiers.
Any donation for aiding In her work
will reach Mlaa Holt If mailed care of I
the Hotel de Crlllon. Paris. France, and
will be appreciated, however small.
"The darkest moments In a soldier's
life are those when for the first time he
realises that he never will be able to
see again," Mls Holt toM me recently. .
"Without prompt expert assistance soon
tew the loss of f ight the blind man It
apt to become despondent, to lose his In
telligence, or to drift into an apathy
from Whldh It Is difficult If not Impos
sible, to rouse him.
"The committee's fli-et task Is to find
the blind sufferer, some of whom arc
marooned lr, Improvised hospitals, farm
houses or chateaux, nnd many of whom
are congregated In the larg- hospitals
or Hed ''roes stations. The committee
sends VtSttOfl :tnd teachers to these blind
soldier, and for those otherwise physi
cally able It starts tho task of 'putting
yes on their finger tips' and giving them
light through work."
1 ranee tilves Bnlldtna.
The Ministry of War has JtiM (!ven ii
special hutldlng to be uei entirely for
the Instruction of the blind. Many blind
teachers have come forward and offered
their services to Miss Holt to serve un
der her guidance. A class In instruction
Is held every morntlUI in one of the
largo hotels. The men come here to
start their lives over again.
