FIELD HOSPITALS
 FOR INJURED HORSES
Blue Cross Society Saves Unnecessary Wastage of
 Horse Flesh
By Hop
. sssssss.sssssssss

London. February 2o-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-The horses at the front have disease to face as well as bullets. Efforts are now being made in tho western line to check an epidemic of glanders. Only animals free from the disease are admitted to the Blue Cross hospitals, established in France by the English Dumb Friends league
 These hospitals have all the work they can handle as 1t is. Besides the work of mercy the society saves an unneces- sary wastage of horse nesh.
 Roy Horniman. sent on n tour of in- spection in France by the Blue Cross society. describes his impressions of one of the horse hospitals as follows:
 The first noticeable feature of the hos pital was It's exquisite cleanliness. The farm buildings used as wards were white washed and dsnfected. I noticed the same neatness In the pharmacies and the stan looked spick and span m their white uniforms.
 "On entering the first ward something caught my throat. The sight of this line of patient veterans, standing still and silent in the dim light had something ac- cusing in it. I felt awe as I thought of the ordeal through which these heroes had passed, and I am not ashamed to say that l raised my hat"
 He reports that the majority of cases are deep and painful saddle cuts and sabre and bullet wounds are in the mi nority
 one of the most skilfu veterinarians in the hospital is woman who belongs to q we'll known English family and there are women in the other Blue Cross hospitals as well.

PROFESSOR FARES
 EXC|TES R|D|CULE
London Papers Dislike Ac- counts of British Eyewit-
 ness With Russians

London, February @.-tCorrespondence of the Associated Press l-London papers are having fling at the war office by making Professor Fares. who Is the off eial eyewitness of the British press with the Russian army. victim of amusing ridicule. Although Professor Fares is a Russian scholar of note, his efforts as a correspondent are regarded as amateur ish. Even the London papers. which often allow their representatives to write in the first person singular, rebel against Professor Fares description of his trip to the Polish front, during which all of his meals appear to be religiously chroncled. Whenever the professor tells of what he has eaten, his fare Is printed in black faced type in the London papers. Thus when the casual reader picks up the pro fessor's articles his eyes are arrested by such heavy-typed phrases as "a plain meal without any alcohol;" Punched on bread and milk late more bread and milk" "a cottage dnner,H drank tea with the battalion commander" white bread and chocolate" I've lunch ''calxes and tea
 This is not done with a view to offend ing the sensibiltes of the professor, but by way of protest to the war department, which keeps all correspondents not only out Of the British lines and base camps in France and Flanders. but also out of the military areas in England. Only tyros. 1t is charged, are allowed to describe camp and battle scenes for the British public.
 The latest eyewitness To be chosen is Sir Max Aitken for the Canadian forces. Sir Max is known as a business man who acquired a fortune in Canada and slater won a seat in Parliament in England where he is the right hand man of Bonaf h.,t- to1y ft, military organizations nor done any de- scriptive writing for the press.
