Fight Red Cross
Plan to Finance
Vivisection Work
"Antis" to Ask for Injunc'
ton; Leader a Christian
Science Practitioner

Anti-vivisectionist are preparing to
60 into court to prevent the Red Cross
from using any of the funds collected
at large for the purpose of establish
ing laboratory in France, where live
animals would be experimental on.
Claude NJ. Spaulding, treasurer of the
said yesterday that the federstion's
board of directors had instructed John
Brooks Leavitt. an attorney at 30 Broad
Street, to bring suit next week to en-
join the Red Cross from appropriating
100000 for "a live animal experiment
tai station in France"
Mr.. Spaulding, who is a Christian
Science practitioner at Is East Forty
first Street, said the Christian Science
Church, as a church, was not connected
with the anti-vivsection move, or, as
a church, opposed to the Red Cross.
Scientists Act as Individuals
"But macy members of the Christian
Science Church as individuals are mem
bers of the Anti-Vivisection Fedora
tion, and they do not purpose to have
any of the money they contributed to
the Red Cross used TO cut up animals
alive"
Mr.. Spaulding showed correspondence
that had passed between anti-vivisec-
tion attorneys and George b. Case,
legal adviser to the Red Cross War
sectionists' letters addressed TO Will
lam Hovo ri Caft cbairp,an of Tho Pod
Cross Central Committee.
One letter plainly told the Red Cross
that il would lose millions OF dollars
in future contributions if it persisted
in "diverting" 100000 for the labora-
tory in France. This letter recalled
that nothing was said about any of the
money going for vivisection when the
Red Cross campaigned for funds. The
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. suggested that the
Red Cross raise a special fund for the
vivisection laboratory if money was
desired for that purpose. The Red
Cross's right under its charter to use
its funds for vivisection was ques-
toned.
Society Sure of Legal Rights
Mr.. Cases reply follows in part: "We
have absolutely no doubt of the legal
right of the Red Cross TO appropriate
money for medical research work for
the direct and immediate purpose Of
preventing disease and sickness among
the soldiers and sailors.
1T may be, as you say in your letter
TO Mr.. Taft, that millions of Americans
would refuse point blank to contribute
70 fund any portion of which was
to be used for vivisection experimental
ton We sincerely trust this is not
so, as, if it is, our government in one
of its most branches (the Red Cross)
must meet opposition to long estab-
lished and well considered policy, which
its scientific men thoroughly approve"

What Thrift Stamps
Mean to America

To buy 25-cent thrift stamp at
postofiice is TO subscribe toward
$4,000 100000 loan to help the United
States win the war. Because this
loan is to be raised in small amounts
that individuals might otherwise
fritter away, il has a greater aim
than the $1,000, 100000 itself.
This greater aim is thrift. Waste
is a wartime enemy.
Sixteen 25-cent thrift stamps, plus
y cents (total, S4.l2), buy one war
savings stamp. Twenty war savings
stamps make one full war savings
certificate, the total cost of which
is Ss240.
The government will buy back
stamps at any time and pay interest
20 date. II you hold your stamps five
years, which is the governments in
tention, the United States xill pay
S5 for each war savings stamp, which
cost only S4.12, and 500 for each
war certificate, which cost only SS2.40.

Employees Get
Thrift Stamps
AS Xmas Gifts

The suggestion. to give Thrift Savings
Stamps instead Of cash and checks
as Christmas presents, reiterated yes
terday by the local War Savings Stamps
Committee, had ben adopted before II
was made. The postoftice sales Of
Savings Stamps increased 800 uer cent
last week, the total IN New York being
well over Sl,000,0OO.
The Christmas plan does not con-
template the elimination OF the usual
gifts priced for their sentimental
rather Chan intrinsic value. The ap-
peal is principally 10 employers, who
can give millions 10 the nation and
help win the war by giving stamps in
stead of money to thcir employees.
One object of the Thrift Stamps. al
most as important as their $2,OO0,o ,oOO,-
900 contribution TO the United States
war chest, is their value as fund TO
be used when peace comes. The
stamps will store up huge fund.

Through a plan instituted yesterday
by c. S. Pearce, cashier Of the United
States Treasury at Washington, it will
be possible 20 utilize even the interest
on Liberty bonds to help the country

vesting their interest in thrift stamps.
Most of those who presented coupons
here yesterday complied Immediately
with that suggestion.

Farmers Bound to Reap
Golden Harvest With Wheat,
Corn and Oats.
MARKET STILL IS UNCERTAIN
Governments Plans May Cause
Change; All Crops Not
Yet Are Made.
ny +. Y. O,BANNoNN

CLAREMORE. Okla, June 16.-
II Is extremely hard to figure much
on the 1917 crop, particularly so on
wheat The general impression
seems to prevail among the larger
grain handlers that the government
is going to issue some kind Of regu-
lations in regard to wheat and just
what these regulations might be or
MS to how such regulations will affect
the price and general merchandising
is problematical. No one seems safe
In vonturing an opinion.
The foreign governments apparently
have not touched n bushel of the new
crop which is right now in process of
harvesting and to all appearances
will not do 80 until our government
defines its position. Some of the
large handlers OF grain and exporters
venture the assertion that unless the
government defines its position soon
1t will be impossible to handle the
present wheat crop.
Prices to Hold Up.
With the present indications that
the United States wheat crop will not
be more than 10000, 600 bushels In
excess of home requirements. and with
old crop wheat selling around the SO
level in the terminal markets, the
natural conclusion might be drawn
that we are not to see any extreme
low grain prices. based upon n supply
and demand theory: and that II we
should have seemingly low prices pre-
vailinR. II will he due to some govern
ment regulation of some unforeseen
