Mrs. Winifred Holt Mather, founded the French Lighthouse for the care of allied soldiers blinded in the war, and Albert Daeschner, French Ambassador to the United ates, told a large audlence gath- :red at the home of John Hays Ham- mond yesterday afternoon of the work has been accomplished and is proposed for the Lighthouse. John Barton Payne, national chair- man of the American Red Cross, pre- sided. Before introducing the si ers he read a letter from Dr. Eliot, president emeritus of Har- who 3 pting honorary chaman- ship of an internation; mmittee which will direct the Fre Light- house. The letter declared that the “Phare de France will become in time an international monument to the brotherhood of man.” Judge Payne added that Mrs. Mather volced the sympathy of all America when she urged support of the project. Daeschner Speaks. In his address Ambassador Daesch- ner expressed the deep gratitude of France for the training and aid given blinded French veterans at the Light- house and for Mrs, Mather's effort in their behalf. He contrasted the ap- parent jJoy in life of those men who had learned to be self-supporting through trades or professions learned at the Lighthouse with some blinded ers he had seen early in the war. hese young active men sudde plunged Into total darkness different from our old blix always been blind, who and beg on Le Pont d who always seemed hap L Daeschner. Mrs. Mather declared that she had coma a recruiting officer for the blind of all the allies, to make friends for them and to appeal for the funds necessary to give the Lighthouse an adequate endowment to insure its being an everlasting beacon of hope and light to sightless men. Five hun- dred thousand dollars is the amount needed. = Enterprise World-Wide. “This is an international enterprise,” declared Mrs. Mather, “and one whose success depends upon a change of heart of all the nations of the world. We have tried the international mind and it has failed. Now let us try the international heart, and, as a symhol of that greater understanding and sympathy between all people, let us keep this lamp of memory burning forever. The only passport to the Lighthouse is blindness and the need for our help. We have taken care of and re-educated men of every race and creed. Men blinded in battle are usually mutilated as well. They be- long to the ‘scrapheap of humanity,’ and the more desperate and hopeless their condition, the more we feel they are our job. “An army of principles can where an army * declared &0 of men cannot go. The Rhine cannot stop them nor the ocean hold them back. They will march to the horizon of the world and’ conquer, and their conquest will be permanent. Let us help to insure permanent peace by such human- itarian institutions as this. 1,000 Men Graduated. “Graduates of the ‘Phare de France,' which serves as a center of education and recreation and also as a club- hi d ksh, % Bargains On Chic 70 The Rits 72 " THE EVENING for {he war blind of France, now number more than a thousand. When I was there in October I saw one graduate in the red robes of a judge another was an instructor at St. Cyr —which is like our West Point—and hundreds were doing some sort of work, clerical or manual, by which they were able to support themselves and often their families. “These men, many of whom are mutilated as well as blind, are learn- ing, through the guidance of the Lighthouse, to pick up the broken threads of their lives and go on as they did before, as nearly as that Is possible with such an affiction. ‘here are approximately 3,000 blind veterans in Fran blinded in the wa 45. in this country Francé has Certain of these would be homeless and friendless were it not for this Lighthouse, es- tablished and supported by American hearts and American funds.” Mrs. Mather told several pathetic stories of men whose condition when they came left them nothing to hope for but death, but who learned to do some simple work, which occupied thelr minds and gradually brought them back to sanity and even cheer- fulness. Dr. Wilmer's Letter Read. Dr. William H. Wilmer, who was unable to attend vesterday's meeting, sent his good wishes by letter to Mrs. Mather, an extract from which Judge Payne read: | am sending you a letter just to wish you godspeed In your wonder- ful work for the Lighthouses abroad No one without making a special study of the conditions can possibly realize the tremendous humane and economic importance of this work. Its first function Is the fundamental one of preventing blindness, which is in line with all progressive medi- clne. But it even goes further, in making useful and happy citizens out of those unfortunates who caunot be saved. When one reads, as one does every mow and then, how some de- | spondent person has committed suicide when told that the sight could not | be saved, que can realize the tre- mendous importance of this work in its relation to mental hygiene.” Mrs. Mather spoko unde great handicap of ill health yesterday, as she has been under the constant care of physicians for the past two weeks in an effort to avoid mastoiditis. Her black lace veil concealed a tiny fce bag around her car. Her appeal for | funds “to be invested in a permanent | life-giving beneficence” held the force of 20 years of devoted service to the needs of the blind behind it. e B =2 e Accidents in London streets in three months totaled 21,619, of which 238 were fatal.
