One of the saddest legacies of the World War is the announcement in an English newspaper that 10,000 Frenchmen are slowly going blind. This was the terrible news read in an account of the opening in Paris of a home for blinded soldiers. Fifteen years ago the war ended._ For 15 years these men, wounded in the trenches, have been losine their sicht. Another 15 years and thousands more will be blind. At first this ghastly legacy of war was not entirely realised, but now the French have started an educational centre where these poor fellows will be trained, while they can still see darkness and light, for'the days when there will be only darkness for them.
