Summary of the Work
IN interesting summary of the hu-
manitarian work done In Europe dur
ing the last eight months by the Amer
fean Red Cross is given by the central
committee. which urgently appeals for
funds TO carry on its work. In this
connection the report states:
August 13, 1914. President Wilson.
president of the American Red Cross
which was createdNby act of Congress
the volunteer aid society of the United
States under the treaty of Geneva--ap-
pealed for funds to carry out its hui
name purpose of rendering aid to the
sick and wounded in war.
Since then no appeal for financial
aid has been issued by the President or
the national officers. The people re-
sponded generously from all parts of
the country. but the magnitude of the
Red Cross work and the vast extent
of the field involved in its labors have
apidly diminished its funds and dem
onstrated the great need for further
financial aid
The need for more surgeons and
nurses In the war field is told as fol-
lows:
For field hospital in France under
the British Red Cross three more sur
7eons and eight nurses will be sent
May l. and four more nurses have
been requested for the units in Ger
many. These will bring the total
number up to 800. The hospital at
Yvetot asked for two additional sur
geons and seven nurses. but the Red
Cross hesitates TO promise more until
further public contributions are re-
ceived.
The surgeons and nurses in the field
are distributed thus. Two English
units American womens hospital

he had seen 1t. ANA he named It,. In
his mind there was little question
that beyond the northern ciiirs Of Axel
Heiberg Land stretched the %uncharted
shores Of a great continent.
1t was Peary's report which aroused
the American Museum Of Natural His
tory to fit out an expedition to attain
an actual fOothold upon this continent.
Donald b. MacMillan. who had accom-
panied Peary for part Of the way on
his final dash to the pole was chosen as
its head.
Macmillan left New York on board

the explorer put back to st. Johns, N.

The Time to Call.

particular in the matter Of calls-calls
IT common courtesy. dinner calls. calls
Of coincidence or of congratulatiOn.
For the wOman Of few social obliga-
tons there is absolutely no excuse for
ignoring the few rules to be observed
in calling. Only the whose So
cial life IS one mad round Of entertain
ments is justified in making her cards
serve calling duty without her.
In a large city women call between
the hours Of 3 and half past 6 O'clock
In the afternoon.
If the woman on whom you intend
to call has an afternoon at home al

YAQu1 INDIANS READY FOR A FIGHT.
Of gold in Sonora, from which no
white nan has come out alive, the
tribal clans have swept, and hard
pressed Americans along the coast
have been placed in a difficult and
dangerous position.
Since the Spaniards first set foot in
Mexico the Yaquis have never been
conquered. They have rebelled against
all authority. colonial or national, and
have successfully continued to defy au-
thority. The recent repulses suffered
by Mexican troops In their attacks
upon the Yaquis only further prove
the fighting qualities and fierce deter

It is doubtful that Governor Mayto-

and keep the Yaquis from further at

SECOND SHOOTING MAY
CLEAR BAFF MYSTERY
Two Shot Down and Bullet Crazes
Third Following Rumor
of "Squealer."

New York, March I1.-Through the
attempted assassination of three men
in Washington street near Franklin
street this afternoon. 1t is believed by
the police and the district attorneys
office evidence may be obtained which
will clear up the unexplained murder
of Rarnett Baff. millionaire poultry
dealer. in West Washington Market last
December.
Five shots were fired today, and as
the man, who it is alleged did the
shooting ran away. Luke Doyle, of 12s
Essex street, Jersey City. and Michael
Costello, Of 30 Eighth avenue, fell with
perhaps fatal wounds in the abdomen,
and Jermiah Sullivan. of 622 Balm
bridge street, Brooklyn. marvelled at
his escape. A bullet had passed
through his clothing and just grazed
the skin over his heart.
William F. Mangan, who says he is
business agent for the international
brotherhood of Transfers. is under
arrest charged with the shooting. The
shooting is said to have resulted from
a rumor that a "squealer"t had turned
I'D in the BafY case, who would give
all details Of the murder to the police.
Mangan. Doyle. and Costello were all
arrested in connection with the Baff
case but were released for the lack Of
evidence.
