WAR HOSPITAL FOR
HORSES ESTABLISHED
Blue Cross Society Organized to
Save Animals Wounded on
Battlefield.

PARIS, Dec. 25.-Horses wounded in
battle are no longer left to die on
the field. and more than 30 equine pa
TENTS are being restored to a condi-
ton of usefulness in the new Blue
Cross Society veterinary camp which
has just been established at Serqueux.
Had the idea of a sick bay for
wounded draft artillery and cavalry
steeds been put into operation months
ago, both the Germans and the Allies
might have saved hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars in addition TO rObbing
warfare of-one OF its horrors
Heretofore, during every conflict in
history where horses figured. the
greater per cent Of the animals, who
were incapacitated by the thousands
during the great engagements, have
been only disabled, and they were
either left TO dc where they fell, or
their threats were cut TO end their
suffering. In either care the horses
were lost. though in many instances
their hurts were only serious enough
to disable them temporarily, had they
been given the proper attention.
And that is why the SerqueuX Hos
pital for horses was established There
the wounded charger is given quite as
good attention as is his wounded rider.

eraI Harrison asking for statement is
awaited with the utmost interest.
Senator Hitchcock. chairman of the
Philippines Committee. said the commit
tee would resume Wednesday. At that
time Dean G. Worcester. former COM
missioner of the islands. will be heard.
Senator Hitchcock said he would then
ask the War Department for all the in
formation 1t had on the reputed reyolu-
tionary movement.
Thus far. Senator Hitchcock has re-
ceived nothing to confirm reports that a
revolutionary movement has taken Sc
TiOus form.
The suspicion is rife among some
members OF the Senate and House that
business interests opposed to independ-
ence have been fomentfng an opera
bouffe revolutionary movement in order
to injure the independence bill But
those who entertain this suspicion admit
they have no proof. and II Is only a
belief
How the reports of incipient revoIu-
ton will affect the Philippine bill is
not yet clear. But it is clear that II
they should be confirmed IL will be more
difficult than ever TO pass the measure.
Many Senators believe the bill will
not be passed at this session. and in
case il should not be there Is believed TO
be serious ground for apprehension that
the Filipinos will express their dis
satisfaction in revolutionary outbreaks
According to reports now, the present
insurrection is CAUSED b. the slowness
of the Democratic leaders in this coun-
try in fulfilling their campaign prom
ises.
Senator Gallinger, Republican leader
in the Senate. said today he thought
the reports of instruction showed the
FIlipinos were unfit for self-sovernment
or for a definite promise OF selt-Sov-
eminent He declared it folly to say
the FflipinoS were ready for independ-
ence now or would be ready in a GER
tain number of years, though he said
he favored ultimate Independence.
