left to die unsuccored upon the battle
field in the event of war with Mexico,
if the plan of the American Humane
society for the organization imme-
diately of the American. Red Star ami
NAL relief is consummated. John
Partridge, president of the San Fran
cisco Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. and one of the
directors of the American Humane So
ciety of New York, the national or
ganization, today said that fourteen
of his fellow directors had voted in
favor of the Red Star hospitals within
the American lines fully equipped with
operating tables and surgical instru-
ments used in veterinary practice.
Corps of veterinarians ready to
minister to the dumb victims of hos
tilities and the proper facilities for
transporting wounded animals from
the battle zone are the mere impor-
tant features of the Red Star, which
Mr.. Partridge said would be made
possible by popular subscription.

men, hidden in the desert. he wrote
the first detailed story of the fight to

Morey led the small remnants OF
his troops forty miles across the des-
ert, the men reduced to a few crumbs
