Catherine Breshkovskaya tells the story of when, as a girl, she was go- ing up to St. Petersburg with her mother and sister, “a handsome young | prince, returning from his official du- { ties in Siberia,” entered their com- partment. For hours, she says, he discussed with her the problems of the Russian people. “His words thrill- ed like fire. Our excited voices rose steadily higher, until my mother begged us to speak low.” The hand- some young prince was Peter Kro- patkin. The years have passed, and the cause to which the two ardent young politicians in that Russian railway carriage devoted their lives has been vindicated. Madam Breshkovskaya, honored and free in her own country, is leading, exhorting, advising the forces of the revolution which she, helped so powerfully to make, and Prince Kropatkin, still in England, his’ refuge from the persecutions of auto- cracy, is forming a committee for the better instruction of the people of Great Britain concerning that practic- ally unknown quantity which: is new.

Miss Keller, who has been summering at Wells, Ver- mont, has forwarded the money to the American -British- French - Belgian Permanent Blind Relief War Fund, 590 Fifth avenue, New York, with the stipulation that it will be devoted to one blinded and maimed soldier. The letter accompanying the gift, addressed to Mrs. George A. Kessler, i honorary secretary of the fund, en- dorses with touching pathos the fund’s work in re-educating blind sol- diers to earn their own living at a trade or profession suitable to each individual case and then outfitting them so that they can get a fair start in their chosen career, and she adds a word of cheer and encouragement to her “comrades in the dark.” It reads in part: “The plan for helping blinded sol- diers and sailors that you outlined in your last letter interested me. 1 think it is a good idea to help individ- uals directly—to be a sort of big brother or big sister to them. The plan should meet with a liberal re- sponse. The personal touch that will go with the aid will multiply its val- ue tenfold. Of course the training and instruction of these blinded men is very important; but sympathy and encouragement are quite as necessa- ry. No matter how grateful they may be for financial assistance that comes through bureaus and agencies, they must needs miss the warm touch of friendship. In order really to con- sole and help the blind, we must take inté account their particular needs, their peculiar difficulties, their indi- vidual capabilities. “A newly blinded man is braced by | the faith friends show in him while he is learning over again the ways of living and working in the dark. He adapts himself more readily to, his new environment if a real friend— one whose name he knows—is near. How much more do the poor men who are maimed as well as blind need oth- ers’ faith and encouragement. Their damage is irreparable. They are doomed to live the remainder of their days with the pleasure of living ut- terly gone out of them. Their lot is so horrible that any effort to break through their isolation and cheer them must be precious beyond our powers of comprehension. “I am agonized by the suffering of the young men of all countries who lose their sight on battle-fields and on the seas. My blindness is realized anew in theirs. We are bound to- gether by our common affliction. I wonder if a seeing person can under- stand how a man in the vigor of youth feels when he knows that he will never again see the light of day. Try to imagine the experience of hav- ing the dear familiar world that you have looked upon for twenty odd years fade suddenly out of your sight like a phantom world! If you can imagine such an experience, you will realize what is happening to thous- ands of young men and boys in this most frightful of wars. Beside the immediate work in hand = I should like to emphasize another aspect of the problem. That is, we are only at the beginning of this work. The burden will grow heavier each year. We have found in our work with the sightless in this country that very few of them be- come self-supporting. There will be long years of partial or entire de- pendence for those brave fellows; for we must remember, they are still young men. After the glamor of the war is passed, and the enthusiasm and novelty of giving to blinded he- roes is over, their need will be just as urgent ten years from now, perhaps more so. It is our duty, therefore, to contribute liberally to the permanent fund for their support. Besides pro- viding the necessary instruction and equipment fo rthem, we must find oc- cupations suited for their abilities and handicaps. We must be ready to take them by the hand and lead them kindly over the dark road. There will never be a day in the years to come that they will not require our help. : 1 should also like to say a word of cheer and encouragement tomy com- rades in the dark, and tell them that, when they get used to the “feel” of the world, they will experience a joy in things that perhaps they never thought of while they had eyes. I know that the earth under my feet gives me a sense of tranquil strength. It is not only in the wide pathways of life that pleasure comes. Every day I feel the thrill of a dis- coverer journeying through my little walled garden which yet reaches to the stars. When the sunlight fades from our vision, there is a new de- light in its warmth. When the color is gone from hill and sky, we find a strange sweetness in the winds and the odors they waft to us. The night has other beauties than the stars— it’s cool serenity and its silvery si- lences. Under its healing wings we may dream worlds with unlimited ho- rizons. It is only at the beginning that despair clutches us and beats us to the ground. If we have the will and courage to face the dark, a gen- tle warmth steals into our fearful hearts and comforts them, as if a ten- der hand were laid upon one’s shoul- der, and a dear voice spoke to one, sweet and near. We are so constitu- ted that we can adapt ourselves to al- most any condition if only a friendly hand is reached out to us, if we could hold fast to our faith in the conquer- ing might of the spirit.
