18 VOLOGDA AGAIN IN LIMELIGHT Once One of the Most Import ant Cities in Russia— Takes on New Life Rusia—The German drive and the peace treaty signed by the Bolsheviki have brought back to Vologda some of the importance which it had in the days of Peter the Great. When the American Ambassador David R. Francis, selected Vologda for the site of his embassy to Rus sia during the period when Fetro grad was threatened by German oc cupation, the little city took on new life. Prices of foodstuffs soared, and as more and more Americans came to the city. rodms were at such a premium that some members of the embassy staff were forced to use for several weeks the train berths as sleeping quarters. The only quarters which could be found by Consul Tread welt for the American consulate were rooms in a huge barn-like hotel, known as the Hermitage, which was full of Ger , man prisoners and Russian soldiers. The consulate's room was just across the hall from the German prisoners' headquarters, but some of these prisoners apparently did not know America was in the war. Some >f them came into the consulate the lirst day it opened and asked if the Americans were still handling the matter of prisoners' relief. The embassy was made welcome and a huge wooden structure for merly used as a merchants' club was turned over for its use. Vologda, In the days of Peter the Great, was one of the most import ant cities in Russia. It is the head of navigation of the Vologda River, which empties into the Arctic at Archangel, and for centuries the] ships of the European traders sent | their cargoes into Itussia by this route. Peter the Great lived in Volagda i for several years and built here the j nucleus of the first first Russian j Navy. After the building of Fetro- I grad. Vologda lost most of its im- i portance, though river steamers still j ply between here and Archangel. Vologda is the Junction ot the Vladivostok-Petrograd and the: Archangel-Moscow Railway lines ' and was selected as the embassy site | because of its transportation con- : \ eniences. Country to Succor Sightless Soldiers New York. Preparations under the direction of the United States I Army authorities to care for all Am-j erican soldiers and sailors who will i be blind in the war have been made. The plan of the Government which j will be carried out under the direct ] supervision of Colonel James Bord-1 ley. of the Surgeon-General's depart men , is to bring the American blind ed soldiers and sailors to this coun try as soon a.s possible after they are blinded. They will then be re educated on the ninety-acre estate of Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett, of Balti more, which has been donated for this purpose and refitted to repre sent'a complete traning school, in cluding workrooms, gymnasium, swimming pool and the necessary re creation equipment. Here the blinded soldiers will un dergo a course of careful and wise training along lines which have been successful at St. Dunstan's Hostel' for the blind in London, and a var ious institution of the American- British-French -Belgian Permanent Blind Relief War Fund in France, so as to fit them to earn their own liv ing as private citizens at some lucra-j tive trade. This training will em-j brace all the trades and professions> to which experience has shown blind j persons are adapted, such as broom. ] mat, mattress and basket making,' rag. and carpet-weaving, telephone! and telegraph operation, including; wireless, piano-tuning, etc. Special attention will be given also to indoor and outdoor recreation. When this is accomplished the In stitution for the Blind, established by the Red Cross, and of which Col onel Bordley also is the head, will .'ssume the care of the blinded sol diers for the rest of their lives. To ward the maintenance of this Insti tution, the American-British-French- Belgian Permanent Blind Relief War Fund has subscribed SIOO,OOO, to be known as the American Permanent Blind Relief War Fund Foundation. This amount will be continuously supplemented by substantial contri butions from the money collected by this Fund. The work of the Institute for the Blind will consist of equipping the blinded soldiers with tools and mate rials to carry on the trades they have mastered, establishing labor ex changes for the marketing of their I products, and giving the proper sup- < ervision to maintain a standard of I excellence ir the goods they manu-| facture. The scope of the work is j vast and includes also the looking sifter the families of the blinded sol diers as far as necessary. It is one o* the many reconstructive plans in augurated as a war measure, which will result in permanent and far-| reaching benefit, not alone to the battle-blinded, but to the great num ber ot those who have suffered this afflicted through other ;auses as well. Gives Up Pigeon Farm To Save Wheat For Allies •lunrtloii City. Kan.—Because of the war E. D. Zellner, of Junction City, is giving up one of the most unique and profitable businesses in the city. Mr. Zellner for years has; owned one of the biggest pig<K>n farms in the state, raising squabs for the Chicago and New York mar kets. where they commanded one dolar each. However. th pigeons would thrive on nothing but wheat, and Mr. Zellner's f rain bill ran from S6O to $l5O a month. Rather than feed wheat to pigeons, when it is needed so badly for the Allies. Mr. Zellner is closing out his busi ness and has shipped one lot of 1000 homers to Boston by express. The cost- of transportation was five cents each. MAY EXTRACT POTASH FROM DUST OF CEMENT Pittsburgh Extraction of pot ash from the dust from cement manufacture is claimed as a pos sibility. James D. Rhodes, a Pitts burgh manufacturer, claims to have made the discovery, and at his own expense has arranged to erect a large experimental plant adjoining the plant of a cement company, at Oastalla. Ohio, for the purpose of experimenting for 120 days. The • Casta lia plant is In the hands of a receiver and it was necessary to get permission of the United States Dis trict Court, before Mr. Rhodes csuld enter into any agreement wltfc the receivers. This wus granted. FRIDAY EVENING, — Dives,Pomeroy A Clearance of Dresses, Skirts Glove Values fk and Silk Waists ijm lf\ \ / Ja/\ special values in washable cham- ( 'v. 1i f ' i/ / x /\ \ IcV.
