An amusing story is told OF their

miniature painter, has just completed
such a charming miniature Of Mrs.
Anita Baldwin. who is well known
here in Washington and throughout
the East and is almost OF interna-
tional reputation as one Of the fOun-
ders Of the Red Star"
The American Red Star is an AMI
NAL relief association organized in
June. 1916, at the solicitation Of the
War Department for the purpose OF
furnishing ambulances. medical sup
plies, veterinarians and general horse
hospital service in France, and to ay-
complish by volunteer aid. as has
been done by both the British and the
French nations, the conservation OF
the war horses by proper treatment
and their return to the front for re-
newed service. To accomplish tl-is
there has to be an initial fund OF So. .Oo0
to place the Red Star with the army
in France. BY means OF their vOlun-
teer forces and aid the British and
French governments have established
horse hospitals along the Western
front at intervals of eight miles. ef-
fecting a saving OF 30 per cent OF the
injured animals. representing a money
value OF over S3n.ooo.ooO. America
must do likewise through the avenue
OF the American Red Star Animal Re-
lief.
America, with an army OF 10000
men. will require 1900 horses at the
beginning Of her activities along the
front OF war. and the total need will
exceed l.OOo. 90 horses per year.
Now that America has taken the
field. the Red Star must help win the
fight with a fully equipped horse hos

the future the Red Cross and the Red
Star will march side by side relieving
suffering and saving lives.

conserve and save army animals, not
only abroad. but in our great eoncen-
tration camps. by improved hospital
service. supervised by trained veteri-
nary inspectors, thus reducing NOR
talIty and teaching intelligent care on
the part OF the soldiers. Over q mil

have been purchased by the allies.
We must conserve what we have left.
The average losses Of sninsIs are
1900 per month To replace these

the war itself. To replace an average,
months losses OF horses on the West
ern front alone would require Eve
large ships for a full month carrying
nothing but horses. horse supplies and
assistants. The country cannot spare
the ships with which 20 DO this. and
America could not supply the horses
even though the ships were available

as are the soldiers. Persons who do
