APPEAL ISSUED FOR
 WORK IN RUSSIA

New York, February 15.--An appeal was issued today by the American hos pital and ambulance in Russia for s225,- 900 for the equipment of a hospital for the Russian army
 Among the signers are Robert L. tBa- con, Nicholas Murray Butler, Robert Mccormick. Alton B. Parker and Theo- dore Roosevelt Jr. The signers de- clare that an unfortunate impression exists in Russia that the people of the United States are unfriendly toward Russians It is asserted that this inn precision is largely due to the substantial aid given to the wounded of all the other belligerent countries, while next to nothing has been given to Russia, the historical friend of the United States"
 It is proposed to present the hospital under the patronage of the Grand Duchess Tatiana, the daughter of the Czar. Dr. Edward H. Egbert and Dr. Phillip Newton, who have been made brigadier generals by the Czar for their services in the American Red Cross unit in Russia, have consented to act as heads of the proposed hospital
