APPEALS FOR HELP
SWAMP RED CROSS
Overwhelmed by Wars
Needs, Famine Cry Is
Heard from China.

Washington. Oct 13.-Foreign Red
Cross societies are overwhelmed and
able to give but little assistance TO the
sufferers of the war, says an Official
statement issued tonight by Red Cross
headquarters here. The stu in
territories where the contending
armies have been engaged, the state
nent says, is beyond description.
An unnamed American army officer,
Just returned from the war zone, ~
quoted as saying that in one little
country church he saw 400 badly
wounded soldiers, who also suffered
from hunger. Red Cross representa-
tives could give them but scant atten-
ton.
"That poor fellow will die in little
while" said a surgeon TO the American
when the latter started to give assist
ance TO one soldier. you can give him
a piece of bread, but it will not do him
any good. You had better give II to
one of the men who has chance OF re-
covery.'
A call for contributions to relieve
the sufferers from famine, earth
ouakes and civil disorders in China,
Turkey and Mexico, respectively, was
issued tonight by the Red Cross. In
the provinces of kwantung and
Kwangsi, China, food damage is un-
precedented. The natives have nothing
to eat, and in many places cannot even
get the leaves of trees to satisfy their
hunger.

Tercentenary Contribution 10
Voted After Objection.

The Board Of Aldermen yesterday
gave the Tercentenary Commission
$4,000 toward the cost Of the celebrs-
ton Of the beginning Of commerce In
this country. The commission had
asked for 100000, but the Mayor said
the city could not afford It. The al
dermen refused this request In June.
Since then various upstate cities have
contributed, and, as the celebration Is
to be held in this city, yesterdays
small appropriation was made.
Alderman Kochendorf, of Queens.
said he had been told there was no
money when he tried to put through
some sewer improvements in his bor-
ough. Alderman Curran, chairman OF
the finance committee, said il was
hoped that the money would be used
for some permanent memorial. The
Democratic leader, Alderman Bowling.
while voting to grant the request, said
his associates should not be deceived
into thinking the money would be used
for such a purpose.

HAND LOST, LEARNS TRADE
Wife Aids by Sewing, but
Earnings Are Not Enough.

The future looked dark enough to q
young workman, when an accident de-
prived him of the use of his right hand.
His employer, who was in business in
"a small way, fed from the country at
the prospect of a suit for damages.
What he could earn by selling papers
when he came out of the hospital did
not go far toward rent and food for his
wife and three young children, the old
est six and the youngest not yet two
years old.
His wife found sewing, but the work
is irregular. and at best she cannot
earn more than So or 81 week. An OPP
pol unity for the man to learn a trade
has been found, and he is taking hold
with will Twenty-Five dollars a
month is needed to supplement the
woman's earnings and the irregular
help their church can give.
The Charity Organization Society
asks for $3.50 to provide this while the
man is being prepared to do work by
which he can again support his family.
Gifts may be sent to the Office of the
society. los East 22d ST., and will be
acknowledged.
The society acknowledges with
thanks the contribution of 81 from

peal in The Tribune.

perience-Civil Service Probe
Bares Odd Facts.

Under cross-examination by Special
Deputy Attorney General Frank Moss.
DR.. Henry y. de Forest, examining
surgeon and finger-print expert for the
Municipal Civil Service Commission,
admitted yesterday afternoon that as
one Of two examiners in the test held
for fnger-print experts he had rated
Miss Gertrude NJ. Sullender, of 296
st. James Place, Brooklyn, a trained
nurse, over Detective Sergeant Fred
erick kuhne, in the examinations as to
Experience"
DR.. de Forest said that he had
known Miss Sullender for number Of
years and that he had employed her
as nurse for many patients whom he
had attended lie insisted, however,
that he had not been prejudiced in
rating her in the examination, stating
that he had no means of identifying
her paper except by number. lie said
that he was familiar with her handwrit-
ing and that he had seen her in The
examination room. lie also knew that
she had taken two months study Of
finger-printing in bureau at Washing
ton, which fact appeared on her tex
perience paper"
When Mr.. Moss asked the witness
whether facts did not identify, in mis-
mind, the paper of this applicant, the
answer was that they might have done
So"
Miss Sullender was first credited with
rating of 100 per cent by DR.. de
Forest, which he later altered to 80 per
cent in his own handwriting. She led
the eligible list over Kuhne and all
other candidates. tieing with the police
expert, who has been in charge of
finger-print work at Police Headquar-
tiers for seven years.
When asked by Mr.. Moss why Kuhne,
with his seven years experience, in
Guiding many murder trials and other
important criminal cases, had been
rated under Miss Sullender, the wit
ness explained that the detective SER
geant lacked a high school education,
collegiate training and technical knowl-
edge.
DR.. de Forest, was high school gradu
ate and trained nurse. He was then
asked why Miss Meta Florine Merchant,
also high school graduate and trained
nurse, who holds the degree OF LII. b.
and IL. NJ. from the Brooklyn Law
School, and who, in addition, has served
in the finger-print bureau of the wom-
ems court, in Brooklyn, had been rated
under Miss Sullender in education and
experience. The witness replied that
Miss Merchant had not shown that her
work had been of technical nature.
The co-examiner with DR.. de For
est was ]. II. Taylor, head Of the
finger print bureau Of the United States
navy.

BUTTERFLY" AT
CENTURY OPERA
Bids Fair To Be One of Most
Enjoyable Features Of
Present Season.

The first American traditions OF
"Madama Butterfly" are English, or
rather are associated with the English
language. N that respect Puccini's
work probably stands alone among
Italian operas. AT any rate, another
case of its kind cannot be recalled Just
now.
Ii is also unique in its record Of per-
fcrmances. Mr.. Savage gave fifty con-
secutive performances of it at the Gar
den Theatre eight years ago and then
presented it 20 seventy cities and towns
IN the United States. The Messrs.
hborn took it up later, and have also
carried it through the land. 1t was
one Of the pleasing features OF last
season at the Century Opera House
and bids fair to De one OF the most on
joyable ones this.
That at least was the promise held
out by last nights representation. No
harm was done to the traditions of the
first English representations and very
little TO the unsteady more sumptuous
ones at the Metropolitan Opera House.
Miss Stanley invested the part of the
heroine with large measure of vocal
charm. The passion and the grace OF
the melodies which Puccini put into the
mouth Of Cio-Cio San nave seldom had
lovelier utterance, and had the young
artists poses and gestures been in
keeping with her singing there is little
more which the most captious could
have asked of her.
The supreme sensuous beauty OF
Caruso's performance as Pinkerton is
not to be expected from any other
singer, but NJ. Harold Is at least the
peer of any other tenor who has UNI
dertsken the part on this side of the
water, and Mr.. Chalmers has ample
voice and art for Sharpless. Miss
Towards Suzuki was performance
along the conventional lines which
have been the despair of nearly all the
singing actors who have undertaken it.
Her opulent voice did justice to the
music of the second act, and she arose
70 the dramatic opportunities then, and
also at the close, after having caused
nothing but disappointment in the
first.
Gracefulness and poetic illusion. i'm
peratively demanded to make the alb
surdities of the play plausible, were
the things which the representation
lacked as q whole.
Puccini's music calls for a finer ap-
parstus and a more eloquent reading.

there was not all that was desired for

is permanent.

cations affiliated with the business of

ing them together into one living, CO.

vertising," was the plan proposed last
night to the Sphinx Club at its first
dinner of the season in the Waldorf
by Joseph II. Appel, advertising di-
rector of Wanamaker's.
at has been remarked" Mr.. Appel
said, that when the bankers Of the
country speak Washington listens. But
although the advertising men are psob'
ably one of the best organized Of any
line of business, when they speak nc
one pays any attention"
The reason for this, he said, was
that the advertising men are formed
into numerous disunited units, which
ere not brought together in common
interest. He suggested that the build
ing he proposed should become the
Headquarters for such New York bust
ness organizations as the Chamber OF
Commerce, the Merchants Associa'
ton, the Aldine Club, the Advertising
Mems League, the Quoin Club, the As
ISOLATED Press, United Press and vari'
Gus publishers associations, typo
graphical. engraving and local trade
organizations and all bodies interested
in business and advertising.
Following Mr.. Appel's address tn,
club voted the appointment Of a com
mittee to investigate the plan, and thu
president Henry c. Brown, advertisins
director Of the Victor Talking Nachin,
Company, appointed Mr.. Appel, chair
man; George Ethridge, r. F. r. Hunts
man, A. c. G. Hammcsfahr, Paul Meyel
and James OTlaherty, secretary.
O. G. Harm, advertising manager o
the National Lead Company, spoke OF
advertising Up" discussing the
power of advertising in uplifting the
public taste for better goods and tn
obligations of the advertiser to NEE
the demand created with honest prod
ucts. The greatest possible thing ad
vertising can do for social uplift, hi
said. is to be honest. Other speakers
were 3. j. Greenhut and F. James Glib
son, who spoke in favor Of Mr.. AppePs
plan.
