RED CROSS RENEWS
APPEAL FOR funds
Point to German Killings as Stimu-
lus to Contributions.


with the confirmation last night Of
the report OF the bombing by German
airplanes Of q Red Cross hospital In
Paris and the killing OF four or five
physicians and nurses. II Is again
brought home 10 the people Of WASH
inRton what the Red Cross has TO
contend with in this war. The finance
committee Of the District Of Columbia
chapter of the Red Cross earnestly
hopes that the people of this city. the
Capital Of the nation, will not walt
any longer to bring its allotment Of
the Red Cross war service fund up TO
the required amount.
1t Ii felt that the news Of this at
tempted destruction Of q Red Cross
hospital should stimulate to the ut
most the giving to the Red Cross fund
here in Washington, especially in view
Of the still larger sums OF money that
will be needed and the ultimate ur-
gent need OF the services of our Red
Cross in the field and in the hospitals
in France for the relief and care OF
our own soldiers and marines, as well
as those Of the allies.
Therefore, the message Of the Red
Cross finance committee Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. through Chairman
Macfarland. TO the people Of Wash
ington ia: Do not wait. Give TO the
war service fund today. Those who
can give largely should do 90. II
they have given, please give again.
Much as large gifts are needed. the
small contributions are welcome and
necessary. Cash or checks may be
sent to The Herald. to any bank or
trust company. to Chairman Macfar-
land, in the Evans Building. or 20

DR.. Martin Thinks Draft
Examination Will Dis
close the Physical and
Moral Status Of Ameri-
cas- Young Manhood.

The nationwide examination of the
youth of America that is to begin this
week will be the greatest test Of man
hood that the world has ever wit
messed, according to Rev. d. H. Mar
tin, pastor Of Wesley Chapel, preach
ing last night on "The Governments 8
Test Of Men"
The first thing Of widespread inter
est that will be revealed by the draft
Will be the physical condition OF the
young men OF the nation. Never be-
fore in the history of the country has
there been such an opportunity to
find out exactly how our manpower
stands physically. The questions,
What percentage will pass the ex-
aminations? Which will pass the bet
ter examination, the rich man or the
poor man. the son of the millionaire,
or the son of the laborer or factory
hand? will all be answered. DR.. Mar
tin claims.
The moral condition Of Americas
young men will be found not only by
the physical examination, but by the
general appearance of the youth and
the answers he gives to questions.
The drinking and cigarette smoking
habits, coupled with the other bad
or immoral habits, will be noted easily.
Patriotism and the love a man has
for his country will be shown by the
claims for exemption. DIR. Martin
warned his congregation. however, not
to look down on the man who claims
exemption.
There are times" he said, when
patriotism means doing the one thing
you know how to do in the best way
in which you know how to do IT. /"
A man may claim exemption because
he Is doing as much for his country
in his present occupation as he would
be in the army.

Only Horse of II. Kind.

Much interest was displayed, yester-
day, by the scores of Sammies who
frequented the Geological Garden in
the Mongolian wild horse, which ami
NAL enjoys the distinction of being
the only existing wild horse" in the
world.
Many Of the soldiers. who are great
lovers Of horseflesh, declared they
could not see any evidences of the
Mongolian's wildness, as he ate grass
most docilely from their hands, but
several of them, members of the cav
airy. pointed out to their compan-
ions those little marks which dis
tinguish the average Old Dobbin from
this rare thoroughbred oftMongolia.
At first glance, the wild horse ap-
pears to be a circus horse, so vel
vety Is his pinkish skin and luxuriant
his name. Upon closer scrutiny, how
ever. one Is divided IN any express
sion of classification, as sometimes
he strongly resembles a Shetland
pony. sometimes a zebra. and at others
gives the impression that he must
be cast from the mold of a pure
Arabian steed. He has a white star,
just above the center of his eyes,
anu MS dHCeslOES, IL Is SdlQ, lnld D.
tied the Tian Shan Mountains in
Central Asia.
Famous biologists in addition to
claiming for him the distinction Of
being the only one Of his kind on
the globe, state that he is probably
one Of the ancestral forms of the do
mestic breed. It has also been found
by them that this breed Of wild horse
once existed as far west as Central
France, where it was used for food
by men in the Stone Ages.

Dou Proverbs.

AS one traces the prOverbial COM
ments on dogs through the concentrate
ed wisdom Of the nations, their SINH
larity is most impressive, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. For example,
the Latins told one another to "Be-
ware of a silent dog and still waters"
concluded that "Dumb dogs and still
waters are dangerous" aud character
lied an insldlous traducer as "a dog
that bites silently"
The Russians, who were slightly in
fluenced by the Latin races, say that
"dogs bark and the wind carries it
away" but the French, Spaniards, Ger
mans and English, who have,inherited
more than they wish to acknowledge
from ancient Rome all agree that
barking dogs don't bite" and we have
also in English the warning to "have
a care for silent dog and still water"
which is clearly q free translation OF
the Latin original.

Here is another of those Service
suits" in which bloomers take the place
of petticOats as a matter of conven-
ience and good service This particu
lar model is made with skirt, to be
worn over the boomers, when the busl-
ness in hand requires skirt, so that
this outfit will serve as n morning
dress for marketing or general, every
day wear. But the hampering skirt Is
to be taken off, if work lies in the
garden, among the bees, in the orchard
or berry patch. There is no getting
away from the fact of the greater con-
venience of bloOmers, "overettes" and
"trouserettes" and other new things
that have appeared in the apparel of
women, who have determined to do
their work in the easiest ways.
In the suit pictured the bloomers
and blouse are made in one; the skirt
is the less important part of the outfit
and does not appear. Galatea cloth,
cotton weaves that wash well, or
coarse linen, are suited to these gar
ments. The blouse is shapely, with a
wide plait at each side, extending from
the line of the bust over the shoulders
and down the back. The sleeves are
conveniently short, that is, three-quar-
ter length, with flat, turned-back cuffs,
and the neck is finished with plain
sailor collar. A short skirt, made by

At the upper end Of the lake the
road turns into the valley of the North
Fork of Shoshone river and skirts the
boundaries of several large ranches,
many of which are favorite resorts of
the big game hunter. AS the road con-
tinues westward beyond the ranch
lands, q very mountainous region ap-
pears. The Shoshone national forest
is entered at point where the valley
suddenly narrows to deep canyon.
High mountains on each side of the
river stand like huge sentinels at the
gates of the forest.
Proceeding into the canyon, many
wonderful natural features appear on
every side. The mountains are COM
posed principally of red sandstone and
have been carved into million fan
tastic shapes by wind and water
erosion.

RED CROSS GETS GIBSON

This war Is challenging the big
gest men we have with its stupendous
problems. That is how 1t comes that
they were able to get the president of
one of the big New York banks to
take the position of general manager
of the American Red Cross. Harvey
d. Gibson is admittedly big man,
capable of handling big propositions,
But the Red Cross in war time Is big
enough proposition to occupy any man.
There are about 1900 chapters OF
this legion of mercy in the United
States. They are engaged in varied
and multifarious activities, all directed
toward the amelloratlon of the suffer
ing soldiers abroad. They are engaged
in making more efficient the women ut
home in first aid, cooking and eco
nomical administration Of foods.
All these and many other activl-
ties come within the range Of the Red
Cross. But there Is danger OF OVER
tapping and of waste energy. There
