Philadelphia, Jan. 13. An inter
esting story of enemy spy work Is
told by Frank H. Gasklll, assistant
chief of the Protective League,
which rendered service during the
war.
The organization, Mr. Gasklll re
lates, was responsible for the in
ternment of a man caught spelling
out dangerous messages with a trip
hammer he was operating in a big
Industrial plant on the Delaware
river. The messages were first de
tected by a telegraph operator In
Palmyra, X. J. He caught the ham
mer spelling out:
"Troop ship moving tomorrow
morning."
The telegrapher notified the gov
ernment authorities who caught the
trip hammer operator signalling:
"Raid on fishing fleet complete
surprise."
This was several hours before the
news dispatches brought word of the
sinking of a fishing fleet by German
submarines off New England. The
trip hammer expert was found to be
a former telegraph operator. Mr.
Gasklll said the mystery of where
the operator got his news or to whom
he was signalling was never solved.

Baltimore, Jan. 13. Seventy-one
of the 100 men of the American
fighting forces who were blinded In
the war now are being sheltered
treated or educated In the Red Cross
institute for the iBlind at Baltimore
The Institution has been designated
as a Vnltod States general hospital
and is called "Evergreen." Colonel
James Bordley, director of the In
stitute said that all the Americans
blinded In the war would be brought
here for a course of training as this
was the only training school for the
blind maintained by the govern
ment. Ho described the morale of
the blinded men as wonderful.
The men are first treated In the
hospital, says Colonel Bordley In a
statement, after which they are
taught to use a typewriter and read
and write Braille raised type for
the blind. Then they receive special
training to develop the sense of
touch.
"After this fundamental band
training, the men are given special
education to fit them for the calling
in which they are Interested and are
qualified successfully to follow,"
says the statement.
"While a man Is being prepared
for this future career, the position
for which he Is being fitted Is being
secured. In a word, he is helped to
help himself he Is encouraged to
equip himself to be a good citizen.
Life's Greatest Handicap.
It Is a sad thing to begin life with
low conceptions of It There Is no mis
fortune comparable to a youth without
a sense of nobility. Better be born
blind than not to see the glory of life.
