Zoology and the War
Scientific lMORthL1l

E&PEAKING broadly, no other science
~ is doing more perhaps none so
much. as zoology, or rather biology, to pro-
mote effective and successful prosecution
of the war;" writes Professor Marquard
NJ. Metcalf, in the March issue of "rhe
Scientific Monthy.' And he continues:
"This seems strong statement, as one
thinks OF our dependence upon chemistry for
explosives and thousand other products.
upon mechanics for ordnance and all sorts of
war engines and upon engineering for the
great activities of military annd naval con-
struction. OF course all the sciences are so
ntcrdependcnt that no comparisons can really
be drawn. The statement is of value chiefly
to challenge attention and persuade the read
er to examine the relation of zoology-purcly
scientific 2ooogyto the problems Of the
"Man is an animal and all our knowledge
OF him and his activities is biological and all
our methods of dealing with him and his life
must be founded upon biological science. a
mere roster Of the biological sciences is
sufficient to show our dependence. Some of
these are; Morphoogy, including anatomy
New-York tribune., 1918-03-10

and embryoogv; physiology, both normal
and pathologica!; geology, including parasi-
tology, with bacteriology as its major sub
division; genctics; psychology; surgery and
scientific medicine but an application of
anatomy physiology and parasitology; and
perhaps as vital as any in its effects upon all
human life has been the knowledge of the
fact of evolution.
1T is often said this is q scientific war
and it is true both in its destructive aspects
and IN ITS safeguarding and protecting fca-
lures. 1t Is equally true that when all is
SAID as TO guns and explosives and poisonous
gases, the last word lies with the man power
OF the bcligerents. And it is here that 70
ologys great service is rendered. 1t is pure
~ biological studies that have made possible
the assembling of great numbers of men
without disease staying far more than fall
before tho guns Of the enemy The surgery
which restores ninety per cent of the wound
ed would be impossible without the knowi-
edge reached by decades of Physiological re-
search. Our knowledge of sanitation and the
prevention OF infectious disease has doubtless
saved many more combatants and non-com-
hatahts than have been slain In all the bat
Ties. 1t isn't only Serbia which has been
saved from tyEhus. Without our knowledge
Nf the method of transmission of this dis
ease. ard the preventive measures thus made
possible, all the bclligerent nations would
have beer worse than decimated by this
scourgc. lyphus fever, cholera bubonic
plague, smallpox, would each have taken SINH
lar toll. For every dozen lives lost from
battle, hundreds would have been DESTROYED
by infectious diseases which we arc now nble
to hold in check"

How to Fool Mrs. Hen

\ WRITER in Farm and Fireside" tells
n of a seventeen-year- boy, Roy
Goelzer, who is making good profits from
hens. The youth says, in explaining how
he makes his hens worl; overtime:

Some Of my ncghbors prophesied dire ca

ing forced to go contrary to nature like that;
but so far have not lost any to speak Of
ard believe it's only a question Of time be-
fore the use Of artificial light, during the
short winter days, to make hens lay will be-
come general practice
Young Goezer didn't have just what he
wanted TO breed from last spring, so he
bought 600 day-old chicks, but he is now
trap nesting and wedding out the ineficients,
ana next spring he expects to hatch his own
chicks.

"Thcn the great American Republic en-

miserable end, and Wilhelm marched into
Russia. The proclamation attains this
impassioned climax:
"Thc American Socialists have learned a
great lesson from the world war in its vari-
Gus phenomena. The destiny Of the world
cannot be intrusted to the Hillquits or the

afoot. What is the meaning of this
apparent rift in the party? These are
questions which are being asked, and
which may doubtless he met in many
ways. But there seems no question
that socialism, as represented by the
ST. Louis platform, has lost the support
of its most important 'intellectuals,' men
and women who, thrilled by its utopian
dreams, have unselhshly given of their
time and labor, even of their money, to

ideals. War and socialism are in the
throes of sharp conflict.

as follows:
an the third Liberty Loan the people of
the United States face a summons without
precedent in history. They also face an
opportunity without historic parallel.
There have been great war loans in the past,
IS measured by the wealth and resources OF
Individual nations. Such was the British
Victory Loan Of year ago; such was the
second Liberty Loan, the first adequate recog-
milton by Americans Of their latent lending
power; such also was the Victory Loar of
our northern neghbors, in which one in every
eight Of the men, women and children OF
Canada gave to win the war But our third
Liberty Loan is an undertaking vaster than
any Of these by whatever standard VIC apply,
and more intensive, too, in that it calls for
personal sacrifice by every Of our hun
drcd and more millions.
"Not every one subscribe, it is true,
but to make the loan the success it ought to
be Will demand subscriber in every six Of
our population. Consider what this means

CHAIRMAN DOWNING MAKES
FINAL APPEAL
Lexington. Ky. May IS. 1918
TO THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY:


TO THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY:
On the eve Of the campaign for
the raising Of siO0.O00O0O in the
United states for the Second Red
Cross War Fund Campaign, want TO
address an appeal 10 you-to each
and every one Of you.
10 You do not need to he told Of the
worthiness Of the cause TO which
you are asked to contribute. You do
not need 81 be told that the sacrifice
you are asked to make 10 give To
this fund is in no way comparable
90 the sacrifice Of our boys over
there or of those men and women OF
the Red Cross who are serving them.
But do want TO make an appeal
10 you as Kentuckians, having in
mind the pride that we all have in
being able to say we are kentuck-
ians.
Several months ago. when the
siO0.NO0.OO0 was being apportioned
out among the different Divisions
and states. the Lake Division. in
which Kentucky is situated. was
asked 10 raise s9,iOO.OO0. In that
budget Kentucky's quota was plac-
ed si.2O0.O0O. Ohio s6.iO0OO0. Indi-
ana S2.iO0,0O0. At at that time. be-
fore the campaign was opened and
before our people had had an OPP
portunity to manifest their patriot
ism and with the fear on the part
of those who were in the Confer
ence representing Kentucky that II
would not be possible to raise this
large amount. the great State OF
Ohio generously assumed the bur
den of s30O.0O0 Of kentucky's allot-
ment and allowed our quota 10 be
reduced to 100000. This was ex-
ccedingly generous on their part
and was another evidence of the
helpfulness and cooperation which
now seems to prevade our whole
people.
We have an opportunity now to
show the stun that kentuckians are
made Of. Let us assume this $780,
600 additional. Let ms. each and
every one. resolve that sor ourselves
we will give more than we had
expected 10. and for our counties
that we will not stop until we have
largely exceeded our allotment
Let us show Ohio how sincerely
We appreciate their generosity by
matching il dollar for dollar.
We can if we will.
Let's do il!
JOHN II. DOWNING.
