Red Star Is Doing Great Work
at Front.
Organization Aims to Do for the Horse
What Red Cross-Does
for Man.

Albany, N. Y.-Everybody knows
about the work being done by the Red
Cross, but not so many are familiar
with the Red Star, another relief or
ganization that has been brought into
existence by the war. The Red Star
aims to do for horses what the Red
Cross is doing for men, women and
children-fghters and civilians who
are feeling the effects of war.
lief, which is the official title of the
Red Star, was organized some time ago
at the request of the secretary of war
by American Humane association. DR..
William o. Stillman, for II years pres
ident of the latter organization, is d.
rector general of the Red Star. The
national headquarters is at Albany.
The American Red Star proposes to
follow the lead of the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails of England, which has hospitals
behind the battle lines, equipped to
care for $500 horses and has sue
ceeded in curing "a per cent of the
animals which were turned over to its
care by the British veterinary corps.
Before this relief work was started,
horses injured In battle were shot at
once, now they are given surgical aid
and returned to the front when cured.
1t is estimated that the work of this
British society has saved the British
government $50, 100000 in horse flesh.

HERMAN STATE OF
 AUSTRlA' CREATED German-Austrian Deputies in ReiChsrath Set Up Government WILL DECIDE OWN FUTURE
Representatives in Legislative Bodies Will Constitute Provisional Gov ernmcnt With Karl SeitZ as Presi- dent-ProbabIy Feared Country Would Withdraw From War.

Basel Switzerland, Oct. 23.-The German Austrian deputies in the Austrian Reichsrath have formed an assembly for the purpose of con- ducting the affairs of the Germanic people in Austria and have issued a declaration announcing the creation of the German state of Austria.
 Karl Seitz, leader of the German social party in Austria, has been elected president of the new as- sembly. The new deputies have an- nounced their desire to bring about the autonomy of the Germans in Aus tria and to establish relations with other nations.
 The assembly has drawn up a res olution respecting the form of gov ernment of the territory occupied by the Germans The German State of Austria will seek access to the Adriatic sea, in agreement with other ations.
 Pending the establishment of a, constitution, according to this pro gram, the people will be represented by the Reichsrath deputies consti- tuted as provisional national as sembly. This body will represent the Germans in Austria, in negotiations for peace and will exercise legisla tive powers. The executive branch will consist of 20 members who will have power to contract state debts and administer interior affairs.
 "We are able and must act in favor of peace" said Herr Seitz in taking the presidency. we must do all possible to lessen the misery of the German-Austrian people. The new German-Austria for which we will lay the foundation will be constituted in conformity with the free will ex- pressed by the German-Austrian people,"
 Independent Political State.
 Deputy Waldner, in opening the as- senbly, announced that he had been commissioned by the German deputies in the Austrian Reichsrath to cOnVoke the assembly as the representative as sembly of the German Austrians. The organization would have the right of free speech and would proclaim sOlemnly an independent political state for German Austria.
 There has been evidence for some time that the German people in Austria, dstrusting the Wavering policy of the AustrO-Hungarian em- pire and fearing it's dissolution or that it might draw away from Ger many. were desirous of ensuring their own close unity with the Ger man empire.
 The German population in Austria forms the center of Austrian society and is the largest of the many ethn1- cal elements in the kingdom. The census of 1910 gave the German speaking population as 9.950,000 out of a total of 28, 1000.
