s. ROBINSON OWNS FLOCK
OF WONDERFUL CHICKENS

Probably the finest flock of hens
in the district, as far as The Tribune
staff is able to determine, belongs to
S. Robinson. The flock is composed
of splendid Rhode Island Red birds,
and they lay eggs the size of balloons
with two yelks in their interior.
Mr.. Robinson brought in a half
dozen of them for The Tribune's
Easter; other chicken and duck ex-
perts, Jake Lee Compile and John TIE
Brink notably, have appeared at the
office with tales of amazing achiev-
ments, but Robinson is the first man
to produce the goods.
In the future, if anyone boasts he
has hen that lays better than 500
year, we will have to examine the
eggs.

TALK OF HOME GUARD
Governor And Gen. Warfield Will
Discuss Best Way to Get Men.

Adjutant General Wartield went
to Annapolis yesterday TO confer
with Governor Harrington concern
ing what shall be done toward rails
ing d sufficient number of men to
protect the city. He will return to-
morrow. Two plans have been adj
vanced if the recruiting fails. One
is to raise the men by draft, which
the Governor has authority TO do,
and the other is 10 call ont the Old
Guard of the National Guard and
the \ eteran Corps of the Fifth Regi-
ment, which he also has the au-
thOrity % do.
1t Is understood that General
Warfield is not committed as yet to
any plan, but the Governor, it is
said. is ayerse to using the draft as
yet. He thinks, it is said, that the
guard can be raised quickly as soon
as the necessity for it is impressed
sufficiently upon the people. How
much unpressing the people need
seems to be debatable subject, as
the necessity for the guard has been
given considerable publicity without
corresponding effect.
Some hope is being put on those
who have been rejected for branches
of the service where more hardihood
is required. For instance, q men
were rejected yesterday for service
in the regular army. These men
and the numerous others who have
been turned down by local regi-
ments are expected to volunteer.
They will be accepted if their de-
fects are not extraordinary pro-

Red Cross Visiting
tuberculosis Hospitals

Washington, Sept. 18-The fol
lowing cable from Major Grayson NJ.
P. Murphy, head of the Red Cross
Commission to France, has been re-
ceiyed by the Red Cross War Coun-
ell:
Systematic visitation of Munich
pal tuberculosis Hospitals in Paris
has just been begun by the American
Red Cross. On the first visit inqui-
ries were made of the patients as to
what they most needed. On the sec
ond occasion the visitors did not go
empty handed; they took with them
games, stationery, postage, jelly, col
ored crayons, sketch books, etc.
During the past year the city of
Paris has established temporary
Tuberculosis Payilions on the
grounds of six general hospitals; the
total capacity of these payilionS is
464 beds Notwithstanding the enor-
nous number of tuberculosis patti
ents in Paris among the refugees and
persons invalided from the Army,
these pavilions are not more than
half full. Many factors contribute
to this result The large amount of
work thrust upon the civil authori-
ties by the War conditions has not
permitted much to make the paw
lions attractive.
The American Red Cross has Sc
cured permission to visit these hos
pitfalls and to befriend the tuberculo-
sis patients. 1t hopes that not only
will the lives of these patients be
made much more comfortable, and
their families relieved of anxiety, but
that making the surroundings more
cheerful, providing additional food,
games, better equipment. reclinin g
chairs and some form of recreation
ad entertainment, will result in the
patients staying for longer periods
The use of the pavilions to their
capacity would obviate the necessity
of erecting additional tuberculosis
hospitals with 300 beds, which would
involve great expense and long de.

IN 4 NIL VA !
BY BASIL M. MANLY
It costs exactly nine thousand,
eight hundred, six dollars and twenty
cents to kill a man in modern war
fare.
Up to the first of January of this
year the war had cost the belligerent
nations sol, 769, 100000 and they
had killed 100000 men, which
makes a net average Of $9,6o6.20 per
corpse.
Of course, while the war lords
were killing these millions they were
wOunding, more or less permanent
Iy, just about three times as many
as they were killing; but since the
sole object of modern warfare is to
kill the enemy we are justified in
crediting the cost up against the &C
tUaI dead.
The total casualties, including the
wounded as we'll as the dead, up to
January first, totaled 25,195, 900, Of
which the allies had lost 15,S45, 900
and the central powers 9,350,O0O.
Russia was by far the heaviest sUf-
ferer, having lost 100000, as COM
pared with 100000 for Germany,
4,25O,OOO for Austria, 100000 for
France and / 100000 for Great Bril-
tain.
The casualties up to date are al
most as great as the total male pop
Ulation over q years of age in the
United States, and about 100000
more than the total population Of the
United States of militia age-frOm
Is to A years Of age.
The casualties OF this war would
more than replace the entire adult
male populations Of France and Ger
many.
The number Of killed in the pres
ent war is a little more than six times
as great as during the entire duTa-
ton of the American civil war.

from wounds was so great that it
was considered just as effective to
wound a man as to kill him, on ac-
count of the great cost Of taking care
of the incapacitated. Indeed, old
civil war veterans tell us that their
orders were Shoot at their legs!"
because wound was just as costly
to the enemy as a death and the
lower aim would correct the natural
tendency to shoot too high.
But with modern surgery Ger
many, Italy, France and England, at
least, are saving practically every
body that they can keep alive until
they reach the great central hos
pitfalls. And they are sending back
into the trenches a portion of the
wounded that would seem utterly alb
Surd to the civil war surgeon.
The reason for the high cost of
killing men in modern warfare is ap-
parent from the fact that it is esti-
mated that it took 20 high explosive
shells, costing on the average $3.50
apiece, to kill each man who died on
the recent SOmme offensive. To this

cry. and the officers are looking for

ing accepted even though they have been
drawn in the CONSUMPTION lists and will
continue to be accepted until their names

ably begin the work of examining men
