TWO THINGS THAT WERE NEW

1t is a Montreal physician who tells
the following:
Some time ago I happened to spend
the night in a country town in Eng
land, and it happened that there was
stopping at the same hotel an timer
ant eye specialist.
1--WE drifted into conversation, and
during the course of the evening he
told me of some of the marvellous op-

One case in particular he spoke Of that

troubled by bad eyesight afterward.

"I suppose you found it necessary
to employ an anesthetic.'
Yes, I did, he admitted.

Shortage of Animals Means Loss
eS of Cannon and Prevents
Rapid Advance.
$1,000 A MONTH ARE KILLED
About 80 Per Cent of Animals Wound
ed Are Sent Back to the Front
After Treatment -in Red
Star Hospitals

New YOrk.-NeceSSity of sending
hundreds of thousands of horses to
France for the American artillery
units and of establishing hospitals for
the treatment of wounded animals is
emphasized by DR.. w. o. Stillman,
president of the Red Star animal re-
lief. in bulletins upon the work of the
organization He said that the Ger
mans had lost many batteries of field
pieces because of lack of animals to
draw them to safety during allied ad-
vances, while fewer guns had been lost
by the British partly because they had
large numbers of horses.
100000 Horses in Use.
Figures compiled by the society
show that there are 100000 in use
by all the armies in the war, and that
the losses on the western front alone
have averaged 1900 a month. In a
three-mile front at Verdun the French
lost more than 5000 horses. About L.
100000 of the horses were bought by
the allies in America and were trans
ported with large losses. About $4,000
died on this side after they had been
purchased and We're awaiting ship
ment to Europe and 5000 died in the
ships. The value of the horses ship
ped to Europe last year was more than
S5O,OOO,0O0 and the loss for a heavy
month of fighting is about $1,000, 900.
There are about 22,OOO,OOO horses in
America, and the estimates are that an
American army of 100000 men will
need about 10000 horses for draft
purposes and mounts and several hun
dred thousands more to fill up the
losses of battle. The need of shipping
TO paorra ts,sv1 l. Ii
cheney, to transport animals to fill
the losses, with only part of the fod-
der, would be 80 ships a month.
Fighting units can deal only with
well animals. AS soon as a horse be-
comes sick, diseased, shell-shocked or
wounded it must be removed to the
rear and a sound, vigorous animal
sent forward to take its place. Thou
sands of animals are in the hospitals
at one time. They must be cured as
quickly as possible to take the places
of the injured which are certain to
reach the hospital. T. p
Animal Hospitals. r-
Behind the British lines animal nos
pitfalls are everywhere. To the left, to
the right, there is a hospital not more
than four miles away, and eight miles
away from each is another. The Roy
al Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals has hospitals for 10000
horses and mules. A field hospital is
no mere stable shack. 1t is q group of
well-deSigned buildings, complete with
operating rooms, operating equipment.
ambulanceS, forage barns, cooking
kitchens, quarters for the staff, and
every other detail necessary for cur
ing and restoring thousands of wound
ed animals. 1t must have an ample
staff of veterinarians and helpers-not
mere stablemen, but men with expert
ence in animal hospital work, who can
bandage a wound or give a hand to the
veterinarian who is performing an OPP
Grafton. They are saving so per cent
of the horses and sending them back
to their batteries again.

 Arrangements have been made for special ferries for Perseverance. Thane and Island guests, and good music has been arranged for.

Those dozen or so people who met Democratic National Committeeman T. J.

 They agree that from the begin ming of the article in which it refers to. Mir Donohoes return from the East" to the last reference to the alleged report on the condition of the Delegateship Contest there is not true statement.
 The easternmost points reached by MT. Donohoe on his trip were. Spo- kane, Washington and Lake Tahoe, California.
 No one asked MT. Donohoe why Delegate Sulzer was leaving Wash ington. All Of them knew why. They knew that there is no more that can be done for Alaska now as Con- gress is giving all of its time to war and revenue measures.
 That Delegate Sulzer will retain his seat in Congress and be over whelmingly reelected was the oft expressed conviction of MT. Donohoe and of those who conferred with him.
