Hartford, March S1.-Papers were re-. .ceived today. by the secretary of state gor incorporation of the Animal Res cue League of Bridgeport. The new league is a. non-stock company and it's purposes as set forth show that there is to be a, most promising effort made by Bridgeporters to care for the injured and abused dumb animals in that city. Among other purposes dis played by the papers is the fact that a large building and hospital for the care of dumb animals is contemplated.
 All neglected or abandoned animals are to be housed and protected by the league and agents are to be appointed charge of the prosecution of all viola tors of the statutes regarding the care and abuse of dumb animals.
 Among the incorporators of the league are Mrs. Thomas P. Taylor, Mrs. w. D. Bishop, Margaret Mayse. ell.
 The Animal. Rescue League has been in existence in Bridgeport for two years though never incorporated. AL though it could not today be learned where the new hospital and office building are to be located, Attorneys Fallon & Greenstein, who have charge of the legal matters of this progress sive body. which includes many society women, said that the most elaborate plans are now under consideration. The hospital vii be used as a stable for the horse ambulance now owned by the league and kept in the stable Of a loca Veterinary It is also possible that a veterinary will be in constant attendance and that the ambulance may be despatched with as much celertty as the present hre-engines and emergency ambulance

Geneva, March s1-A Constanti- .nop1e despatch received here by way of Bucharest states that while aznn4u- nttion is not lacking for the Turkish army it is of poor quality. The SUD- ply of cartridges provided by Ger many in March, 1914, has been sex- hausted and Turkey now is forced to rely on those of her own manufacture which are inferior to those of Ger man make.
 Disorders and insubordinaticn among the Turkish soldiers are of fre- qIent occlxz,enoes the despatch says. Many Turkish officers are reported to have been arrested for their hostile attitude towards the Germans.

RED CROSS NURSE AID
TO Be CUT OFF OCT. 1
Miss BOardman Issues a state,
ment Covering Financial
Needs Of the Fund.

WAsHINGroN, Aug. 26.-The return
to New York Thursday Of three Red
Cross nurses, Alice Gilhorno. Alma Foer-
stcr and Charlotte Burgess. from ki"f.
Russia. was explained Mt Red Cross
headquarters here to-day on the ground
that these nurses had served practically
a year, or two terms of six months each.
The tour OF duty required Of each nurse
does not exceed six months.
The return Of these nurses gave rise
to reports that they had been recalled
because of a lack OF funds. while this
was denied in these cases II is true
that the RED Cross IL about to call
back its nurses from the European bat
tlehelds on account Of the drain upon
It's funds.
Miss Mabel Boardman. chairman Of
the national relief board, announced
this decision some time ago. She said
"The American Red Cross by October
I will have maintained a fun personnel
in each country a year, with the cNcep-
ton of the Belgian units and the SAINT
tary commission. The tour Of duty
required of each surgeon and nurse
does not exceed six months, 5 O that a
number have returned and substitutes
sent. by October a large number of
those now i'm Europe will return.
1.-THE cost Of transportation Of these
surgeons aud nurcses, going and com
ing, makes n constant and considerable
financial demand upon the Red Cross
treasury. The monthly payroll is also
a large item Of expense, In view of these
facts and because it's funds are rapidly
becoming exhausted. tho American Red
Cross has decided by October ! to with
draw thc personnel now in Europe, with
the exception Of the units in Belgium,
Much az II regrets this necessity. IL
realizes that no Red Cross of a neutral
country ever before rendered 20 long
and extensive service In the way of
personnel to nations engaged in war"

CLOSER WATCH KEPT
ON VISITORS AT FORTS
Outsiders Not Permitted to
View Batteries i'm the
Coast Defences.

Ever since the European war began
visitors to the navy yard and the various
coast defence forts in or near New York
have been permitted to see much less ~
the Notifications than previously. The
big batteries in the forts have been shut
on almost entirely from public view.
Before the war the general order was
that the batteries were not supposed ia
he open 10 visitors. 1t seemed to be
generally understood that the command
ing officer could permit visitors OF whom
he was sure TO take a glance at the bat
terles. But since the war started vir-
tually no outsider has been permitted to
visit the batteries
This rule applies at Fort Wadsworth.
Fort Totten. Fort Hamilton and other
coast defences. A carcful watch has
been kept on all visitors to the forts.
Although every courtesy has been eN-
tended to visitors, they have not been
permitted TO see more than the barracks.
the officers quarters and the parade
grounds.
Agents OF the Department of Justice
have been busy recently in and about
the forts. They may have been observ-
Ing the movements OF suspicious persons
who have gone near the forts. Recently
a number of special agents OF the De
partment were In Newport. Just prior
to that they swarmed In and about New
York, but no Information as to what
they were seeking could be obtained
from headquarters.

Gen. Wood and Mr.. Roosevelt have

The relations OF the two men have

Wood was that in inviting Mr..

an exhibition likely to give great offenc

1t Is perfectly obvious that the Adj
