Conserving their Equine
Allies

All Tic OclliSCIcHtS are III the
market for tens of thousands of
high class cavalry and artillery
animals. And until long after
the war is closed the United
States, Canada and South Amer
lea will be called on to restore the
European supply of horses needed
for general business and agricul-
ture.
A horse famine threatens En-
rope.
Switzerland has organized a
Blue Cross society. No horse
may quit Switzerland.
They are killing off the horses,
blooded hunters, from French and
German cavalry; smart roadsters,
beasts of value, wandering from
smashed artillery; wagon trainers,
Daughters, and plain requisition-
ed farm stock stray through the
deserted plains and forests of the
fighting zone, gaunt, thirsty,
famed and wounded, broken
winded, frightened. Many cling
together in troops, like wild
horses. Others limp along. Neg
lect, starvation and exposure do
their work.
The dumb martyrs are ignorant
of laws of war and sworn agree
ments. The remaking of the map
of Europe is mystery to them.
Yet, at the end of the Man
churian war, the Japanese rem
dered solemn homage to their
horses dying for the nation" A
monument was raised in their
honor; a great ceremony was de-
creed and held, to affirm the graf
itude of the people; and a propo-
sition was made to add formal
clauses in favor of horses to the
International Convention of the
Red Cross.
Whence the Blue Cross.
The Blue Cross is not senti-
ment. 1t hides its pity. It's claim
is enlightened self-interest. What
good is a cannon, if you have no
horses to pull it?
This is war of artillery. Much
of the success of the allies is due
to the marvellous French Cannon
of U.s." the heavy English field
pieces and the brand new French
and English long range batteries
turned the scale recently along
the front. The Russians have
made their astonishing drives by
richness in Creusot artillery. And
every success of the Germans in t
Belgium was a success of artil-
lery. r
Yet cannons without horses are t
as useless the purposes t
horses without cannons.
Let us rescue the horses, then, t
they say, not for pity (when so
many men lie waiting stretchers), t
not for gratitude (the horses are n
dumb tools). but for the life of h

Every one is talking about the high
cost of living, and here is a menu, in

is a Calls head, and this usually costs

CHINA STILL GUARDS
ITS MANCHU FAMILY
(Bp Associated PresS.)


Picking, Jan. 20.-Although the Man
chu Imperial Family still remain III
Picking, maintain military bodyguard
and conduct their court, the encroach.
ments of the Republican administra-
ton upon the Forbidden City continue.
For some time only about one-half
of that vast enclosure which lies
across the center of Picking has been
reserved and forbidden" for the 10y
emperor and his retinue. The other
half, that to the south, has been con-
trolled by the present government;
and troops of the Republic have been
CHARTERED in the SPACIOUS halls where
the emisaries from dependencies Eow-
towed before the "Great Ching" mon
arch. The republican administration
has repainted these buildings and
cleaned up the court yards in which
the personages of the former spec
tacular regime covered their rich
robes with dust
Now the new government has open
ed this southern section of the sacred
preserves to any and every visitor
who cares to pay a Mexican dollar.
The charge is for admission to the
new Museum, designed on foreign
lines, containing treasures from the
Manchu palaces at Jehol and Mukden
in Manchuria.
1t is reported that the administra'
ton has treasures (Which are renown-
ed throughout Europe and America)
shall be in part sold to collectors
from abroad-Europe, America and
Japan-and that the proceeds shall
be divided between the Republican
government and the Imperial Family
1t is proposed that those articles
which are held in duplicate and also
those of no historical or antique value
shall be disposed Of to foreigners. The
treasures comprise, largely, gifts from
minor princes to Manchu monarchs
many being the rare handiwork OF an
Gent artisans.

"The study of the experience in the
field of sickness insurance shows prac
tically unanimous conclusions that the
following provisions are necessary to
the success Of any plan:
"O 1t must be compulsory, es
pecially for those with small incomes,

thirds of the wages, for a period OF
not more than twenty-six weeks in onl
calendar year; 90 invalidity benefits

benefit sufficient to meet the ordinary
expenses of burial and other immedi
ate necessities: 60 medical benefits
to include medical and surgical reliei

sation laws that have made it profit

suit Of sickness insurance laws that
will make it profitable for employers

This, in brief, is the principle set
forth in an article in the weekly re-
ports of the United States Public
Health Service. A study has been
made of sickness insurance systems
In European countries and system

prediction is made that changing con-
ditions in the United States will soon

ing for sickness insurance"
The two points which are empha.
sized In this article are the growing
necessity for providing for the care Of
workers who become i'll and the prac.
ticableness of such method as a
factor in preventing sickness and the
restitution which results from sick
ness. The fact that so many workers
, have an income insufficient or barely
I sufficient to subsist on is evidence Of
their inability to provide for them
selves and their families in times of
Ill health. The state and the commun-
ity can do much to prevent some condi
lions that breed disease, but with pres
ent conditions they cannot either
make the workers save enough to pay
FOR adequate medical attention and
support during illness or make tn
employers realize that it pays, as g
simple business proposition, to pre-
vent sickness among their employees
The result is that large percentage
