WAR ON GRASSHOPPERS
DECLARED IN ARGENTINA
American Manufacturers Will Sub
nit Bids for 65, 616,666 Feet
Of Metallic Fence.

It's fight to the finish now between
the Argentine Republic and the army of
grasshoppers that have invaded that
country. The full sweep of the govern
mental machinery of the Argentine has
been directed at the plague. and the gov
eminent and the people are working to-
gether in the crusade against the pests
that have caused the loss of fortunes in
the aggregate in many parts of the world.
To combat the invasion of the grass
hoppers the Buenos Aires government
has enacted into law a provision author
izing the purchase of 65.616.668 feet of
metallic fence. This authorization was
made in the name Of agricultural defense.
The Argentine legation last night re-
eeived a cablegram from its home gov
eminent calling for bids from American
manufacturers, to be submitted by Sep
TENDER 20, which necessitates cable pro-
posals.

jAPAN'SRED CROSSP[AN
IS MODEL FOR OTHERS
Organization on Same Lines
of Voluntary Aid Under
Way in England.
Foreign CORRESPONDENTS Of The Star.

LONOON, september 10. 1910.
The japanese have taught many les
sons to the nations OF the west during
the past ten years. The fact that the
new movement for the formation OF
voluntary aid associations in England
is based upon japanese methods Is of
peculiar interest this year. in view of
the Japanese exhibition in London.
That country has created the finest Red
Cross organization in the world. With
incredible forethought, patience and at
tention to detail q system Of medical
care during war was built up so that
when the Russo-Japanese war broke out
the scheme was complete and an as
sured success.
The Japanese woman Is essentially
patriotic, SO that there is no lack of
volunteers for any work which is to
troops in time Of war. They have given
their services Fundamentally from the
beginning OF the movement. and ladies
of gentle upbrfnginE cheerfully under
quired by the Red Cross Society in
Japan, in order to be prepared and ef-
fcient whenever war occurs.
Emularlon Of Example.
1t Is with the same idea that the
women Of England are entering so en-
Enthusiastically into the scheme for
voluntary aid just now. All are begin
ming to realize that wisdom lies in pre-
pairing for what may happen, and that
efficient organization. whether military
or surgical, will help to prevent war.
The idea is to form attachments OF
trained men and women in every town, In
almost every village, all over Britain
With regard to the women, the usual de-
tachment will consist OF a commandment
an assistant commandant, q Quartermas-
ter, an assistant quartermaster, two lady
superintendent and twenty women. The
commandments will be medical omcers,
preferably woman doctors; the quarter
master will have charge OF the commits
sariat department, and tho lady superin-
tendents will take charge OF the sub
divisions Of the corps, such as that as
ISOLATED with the cooking and prepare
ton OF food.
Hospital Nurse Included.
At least one trained hospital nurse will
be included in the detachment, which
will be definitely organized for its vari-
GUS duties. SO that every unit will know
exactly what to do and how to act when.
ever modified.
The women's detachments would be en-
ployed chiefly in forming railway rest
stations, and one part Of the drill
taught to the members will deal with
the rapid conversion of an ordinary rail-
way station, or a town hall or private
house into a temporary hospital. The
women also would undertake the prepare
ton and serving of meals at different
stations through which trainloads of sick
and wounded would pass on their way to
the base hospitals from the front.
A very important section OF the work in
time of war would consist of the forma-
ton Of clearing hospitals" within ten
miles of the fighting forces. From a
tactical as well as humanitarian point OF
view, it Is essential to convey the sick
and wounded as rapidly as possible from
the field OF operations to the base.

THE WORLD OF FASHION.

@HE separate blouse is more eff
feCtive than ever; it has been
more elaborate in other sea-
sons but not so chic and good
looking. The triumph of the frill
has had much to do with this,
even though it is so impractical, par
ticularly when associated with a
lingerie blouse. as the average laun-
dress makes sad work of it, indeed.
The yelling idea has strongly in
fuenced the designers of costume
blouses and nine out of ten of the
prettiest models in this class are Of
chiffon, silk mousseline or etamine
yelling silk or satin, lace or contrast
ing chiffon. The idea is not alto
gether new but the treatment is; for
the blouses follow the frock lines,
and the best looking of the yelled
models are excessively simple in line
and have most of their elaboration
applied to the foundation, while the
sheer yelling is of the most pro-
nounced simplicity
The model with sleeve and body
cut in one is the prime favorite and
often the sheer yelling material is cut
quite plainly, though other models
have little plaits on the shoulders
and down the loose sleeves Some
slight trimming finishes the round
neck and sleeves, and usually dainty
little undersleeves and a shallow col
larless guimpe to match give the
needed relief
A white satin blouse much admired

is cut in one with the plain body and
