RED CROSS SURGEONS
Three More Are Sought for Super
vision Over a Third Hospital
at Gleiwitz.
The Star Will receive. acknowl-
edge and transmit tn the Ameri-
can Red Cross contributions from
the public toward the work to be
undertaken by that organization
In connection with the war
abroad.

Appeal from Germany to the Ameri-
can Red Gross for at least three more
surgeons has been made. American
Red Cross surgeons are now in charge
of two large hospitals at Gleiwitz and
Cassel 1t is proposed to give them
supervision over a third hospital at
Gleiwitz
Dispatches from Germany speak in
the highest appreciation of the work
done there by the American surgeons
and Red Cross nurses. This confidence
is expressed in practical form by allot-
ting to them the most difficult opera
tions.
That operations are being performed
without the use of anesthetics on
wounded soldiers in some parts OF the
European war zone was reported in a
cablegram to the American Red Cross
headquarters. The message, sent from
London by Thomas Whittemore of Bos-
ton, said:

BILE suffering. Operations without ether"

The Red Cross has cabled $4,000 to
American Minister Van Dyke, at The
Hague, for Belgian refugees in Hol-
clothing for women and children have
been sent.
Ambassador Herrick, at Paris, has
been asked to name a special commit
tee to administer the additional fund
of $4,000 for use among wounded and
refugees in several places outside the
French capital.
In order to be amply prepared to meet
expected emergency appeals for sup
plies the Red Cross has placed large
orders with various houses for absorb
ent cotton. bandages, gauze. chloro-
form. iodine, etc. which will be stored
in the warehouses donated by the Bush
Terminal Company. which are at 33th
street and I'd avenue, Brooklyn. 1t is
the purpose of the Red Cross to have
a store of these supplies available al
all times.
Among contributions received by the
Red Cross today from people who car
afford to give but little was a check
for $500. contributed by few fisher
men and their families on the small
fishing island of Muscongus, off the
coast of Maine.

FEWER SALOONS THROW
700 MEN OUT OF WORK
Liquor Men Say the Breweries Prob
ably Will Reduce Their
Forces Also.

Approximately 200 persons have been
thrown out OF work by the decrease in
the number OF licensed saloons and
wholesale liquor places. according to
statements made by persons who are IN
close touch with the liquor interests.
In addition to the proprictors bartend-
erS. porters and other help who were
thrown out of employment. it is said
that many more persons probably VIII
be affected in the near future.
Persons who are familiar with the
situation say there probably will be Il
reduction in the forces at some of the
Washington breweries and that there
may be a reduction in the number of
agents representing so-called foreign
breweries and whisky firms.
The reduction in the number Of
places where liquor is permitted to be
sold" said person familiar with the
situation. naturally will mean less
work for statesmen and collectors and
such reductions are sure to come. The
reduction probably will include persons
in charge of delivery wagons owned
by brewers, their helpers and persons
employed at the plants
5000 Dependent on Business.
The 700 men referred to really repre-
sent about 5000 persons, which in
cludes members of their families. Most
of the saloon owners have families,
some large and some small ones, but
the average is sufficiently large to
make total Of at least 5000 persons.
The number of persons who will be
involved in other branches of the busi-
ness he continued, will bring the
grand total of persons affected up to
about 3,500
"Bartenders are paid from SIS to S25
a week, and many OF them are given
their room and board in addition. With
the changed conditions. and many of

The "Growler'' Practice.
| The Stars informant said he thought
the excise board will not be disposed to
countenance certain practices INDUCED
| in by some wholesale dealers. He re-
| ferred more particularly to the sale oil
| socalled ''growlers'' III places where
grocery and liquor stores are corn
blned, and recalled protests made
against such places by clergymen.
He recalled one hearing before the
excise board in which a minister he
said, declared he would rather have a
retail place in his neigh borhood than
a wholesale establishment, pointing oui
that the principal objection to the
wholesale place was the fact that wom-
en- are permitted to visit such whole
sale places and make purchases, while
| they are not permitted in barrooms.
