 The ambulances for the training camps will be of two types. One will be the horse drawn ambulance sim liar to those now in use on European battlefelds and the other form will be of the motor type. It is planned to. erect horse shelter tents for army service and for training camps. Those interested in the care of horses feel the absolute need of such tents. They were not used on the Mexican border and as a consequence there was large percentage of losses. Wooden base hospitals are also planned for camps here and for abroad.

 The Red Star Animal Relief or ganization of this country hopes to duplicate the work that has been done by the Royal Society for the Proven ton of Cruelty to Animals. It desires to work effectively and quickly and to facilitate matters it is organizing branches in every city of the United States.
 Terrible Losses.
 In cases where the cavalry has been closely pursued by the Germans the forced marches have been terrible on animals as well as men. It is report ed that the French lost over 5000 horses on a three mile front. in the first eight hours of one drive. It is also estimated that 45,000 horses a month have died for every mile of bat tie line. Hospitals for injured animals are at many points along the line and the majority recover with proper care. Millions of dollars have been saved in this way and a large number, trained in army work-for horses need train ing as well as men--have gone back into active service.

 The Royal Society.
 In other words if it can get the funds, and like the Red Cross, the Red Star, must depend on the contri- buttons of the people, the Red Star hopes to become one Of the greatest agencies for the conservation of army animals. With the equipment enum- erated above it is possible to save the lives of thousands of animals that might die from lack of proper care. In England at the beginning of the war a large number of horses were brought together at central stations where they stood shivering with cold. The red tape of the War Department unwound so slowly that thousands died. When the. Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals offered it's services, the army gladly accepted. Aside from the humane phases more than twenty-one million l dollars has been saved because sc

fant mortality the Bureau has twice compiled reference lists of agencies and organizations carrying on work for the instruction of mothers and babies in American cities. The unusual work being done in New Zealand for blocks" quite away from the towns, was described in a special report. The statistics of children in the United States have been assembled from the census and published in convenient form. Other reports on the care of dependent children and on juvenile de- Hnquency are now in preparation.
 Since the United States entered the war the Bureau has made a special study of foreign reports on child la Dor, infant welfare work and juvenile delinquency as affected by the war. The provision made by -12 foreign countries for the families of soldiers has been analysed and the Bureaus material on this subject has been used in connection with the drafting of the new law providing for separation al- lowances, reeducation and soldiers in. surance in ttaAUnited States.
 Bar Children Under Fourteen.
 To the research work which still continues has recently been added the study of administering the new Fed. eral Child Labor Law. Since the firsi of September, 1917, no child under 14 may be employed in any factory, mill | work shop or cannery whose products are shipped in interstate commerce and no child under 16 may be em. ployed in those establishments be tween P. M. and A. M., nor fol more than eight hours a day. A 16 year age limit is also fixed for em ployment in mines or quarries. The Bureau has been devising, therefore a practicable method of cooperation with State authorities in States where one or more of these restrictions i enforced by the State, and is develop ing it's own staff for inspection ant for issuing employment certificate where Federal inspection is necessary Miss Grace Abbott has charge of tn administration of the Child Eabo Laws for the Federal Children Bureau.

that war prices are deprwing Amer ican babies of their legitimate and necessary. sustenance. The decrease in the supply of milk now being con stunned by families with young chil- dren has led the Bureau to emphasize it's imperative necessity in the diet of babies and young children. pr. Grace L. Meigs, Director of the Bureaus Child Hygiene Division, in comment ing on the degree of danger of such decrease to the health of children, has said:
 Importance Of Milk.
 Milk is the one food that all young children must have if they are to be strong and healthy. Whole milk is rich in the elements without which the child's growth ceases and his health is impaired. Indeed, there is no food which can supply as well the needs of growing children. There is no substitute for milk in the diet of babies and young children. Yet the increase in it's price is so startling that, as the reports the Bureau receive show, many mothers are economizing | III mllhs 4OuuS Cdu uOL get the nourishment they require from the would-be milk substitutes given them"
 The Children's Bureaus wartime program for child welfare includes mention of the fact that young chill dren and mothers need public protec- ton. Through public effort some, at least, of the z5,OO0 mothers who die each year from conditions caused by childbirth and some of the 500, 900 children who die under five years of age may be saved. The Bureaus studies of child welfare abroad have shown that by the great efforts made by Paris, Great Britain and Belgium to give mothers and babies better care, they have reduced their infant death rates in the midst of war. The Blu reau's studies of child welfare in this country show mothers and babies suf- fering and dying because nursing and medical care are not available. The special needs of soldiers children and the provisions made by Canada and twelve other foreign countries were included in the Bureaus studies of child welfare abroad.

undertaken by the United States Chil- dren's Bureau. Miss Julia c. Latin rop, Director of the Children's Bureau, In referring to conditions abroad, said: An English authority has lately pointed out the demoralization to boys and girls caused by the breaking down of clubs and the withdrawal to the army of recreational leaders, and he has traced much of the increase in juvenile delinquency in England to | chaos in recreation activities which has prevailed since the war.
 This is a good time to remind our selves that the continuance and de- velopment of all types of innocent and healthful recreation in every commu- nifty offer call to patriotic service for many who can not go to the front"
 Miss Lathrop is also stressing the mothers keeping the home together in the absence of the father at war. Committees on Women in Industry are framing regulations which prevent the mothers of small children from enter ing the field of labor, to the neglect of their offspring. Miss Lathrop be- lteves that mothers should not leave homes where there are older girls and boys, but should remain to pre-. serve the home center, which is the real inner defense of the nation.
 Created Five Years Ago.
 The beginning and growth of the United States ChiIdren's Bureau is in. teresting. It was created five years ago as a governmental agency, whose sole duty was to study and report or all matters pertaining to the welfare of children and child life. The law directed the Bureau to investigate especially the questions of infan' mortality, the birth rate. orphanages

been sent to Europe since the begin ming of the war and since our army has entered the struggle that purchas- ing agents are finding it difficult to procure animals of the proper type. The army does not desire draft horses. It has certain specifications regarding weight and height and some breeds are preferable. There are patriotic persons who have given their pet horses to the army, but these are the horses unaccustomed to hardships and that need the most care. A valuable service can be done by giving a large number of lectures to soldiers on the care of horses and other animals. As an incentive one thousand copies of a book entitled First Aid to Horses
 were distributed in Europe in one army. Such books are needed,here.
 As the United States becomes more and more prepared in training camps and cantonments soldiers will realize more and more keenly how important a part the horse plays in war. In fact, a short time ago a French officer said | in Washington that he thought the horse might prove to be a determin- ] ing factor. He based this on the fact 1 that the Germans are already ham i pered by the need of sufficient horses to handle artillery. In this war long range artillery is a supreme factor and
 horses must be fit. To obviate the
 constant need of fresh horses the hos pitals in the rear have been a help. At any rate many horses that might 1 otherwise have been slaughtered have l been able to take their places on the
 fighting line. Nor has the United
 States the ships to give up to the i'm mense number of horses necessary to
 be sent to Europe if there were no horse hospitals. It has been impressed
 upon us that for an army of two and
 a half million men we must provide nearly eight hundred thousand horses,
 and these animals must be cared for
 when i'll or wounded. This has been
 started in training camps here, the
 work will follow the horses abroad
 and if we can accomplish what the British and French have done we will be able to save eighty per cent. of our
 horses for this is the number that

juvenile courts, assertion, dangerous occupations, accidents and diseases of children, employment and legislation affecting children in the several States and territories. This task was ob- vtously impossible with the staff of only fifteen persons, for which money was allowed during the first two years of the bureaus existence.
 Infant mortality was selected as the starting point for the Bureaus work, not only because it headed the list, put because it was recognized as a sensitive index of social welfare. The pest available statistics indicated that about one in eight of the babies born in the United States failed to survive the first year of life, and 1t was thought that if the causes of this waste of infant life could be analyzed and presented, constructive work for infant welfare would surely follow.
 Baby Week.
 In order to stir people to a new sense of the preventable waste of in. fant life, the Bureau, again with the cooperation of national organizations of women, undertook campaign fol a nationwide celebration of Baby Week, the starting point of permanent work. Over two thousand communi ties reported to the Bureau that they had had baby week, or baby day celebration.
 The study of infant mortality ant infant welfare led naturally to a re view also of the facts about materna mortality from conditions connected with childbirth. Maternal deaths art recognized as largely preventable b! proper care, and it appeared that tn, number and proportion of materna deaths had not decreased in the Unit ed States during the past IS years Some 15,000 mothers still die yea by year in childbirth. A comparison of the statistics for the United State and certain foreign countries wa therefore published with a discussion

of the causes and methods of proven ton.
 Not least important in the bureaus work has been the publication of two popular bulletins for the guidance of the individual mother in the care of herself and of her baby during the period of pregnancy and the first two years of the baby's life. Later bulle- tins are carrying the child through the school years and adolescence. Many of these extensions of the Bu- reau's work were made possible after the staff of the Bureau had been in- creased from the original fifteen to seventy-six.
 Laws Affecting Minors.
 Legislation affecting children was the next point of attack. Each of the | 53 political divisions of the United States has it's own statutes. and there is practically no Federal legislation affecting the children except the new Federal Child Labor Law. The Blu reau, therefore, compiled and analysed the text of all the State and territorial laws affecting the employment of | IllnOTSs IL ucS uIdOS dSLdll6u SIuu1GS of the different methods of administra. ton of child labor laws in a few typical cases. The texts of the moth. CTS pension laws of the various States passed during 1911, 1912 and 1913 the first three years of such legisla tion, were assembled and published to- gether with the mothers pension laws of New Zealand and translation o1 the Danish law.
 In the larger field of legislation about mother and child. guardian ant ward, care of dependent, defective ant delinquent children, health and recrea ton, and offenses against the child as well as education and employment the Bureau is. at work upon refer ence index, compiling State by Stat, all references to existing statutes ant classifying them under a detailed topical index.

they have cured and sent back to the firing line. We must do the same. Our men must be properly equipped and after good mounts are provided they must receive the best of care for the mems sake as well as for the sake of the animals.
 Complete Quarters.
 Already we have found out that it does not do to provide poor quarters for the horses. The field hospitals in Europe and those planned and under way her are not rude shacks. They are groups of well designed buildings, complete with operating rooms, surg ical supplies, ambulances, forage barns, and kitchens. The large staff of veterinarians and helpers or nurses have their quarters nearby and the helpers know how to banage a wound or give help to the operating veter- marian. Shell shock, disease, wounds all cripple a horse as they cripple man and fighting units can only work well if their animals are well. h. sufficiently mounted troops will only prolong the war.
 There seems every reason w11y It is necessary to have Red Star Ami nal Relief Society, and it's work and plans are endorsed by such men as Ex-President Taft, Major General Leonard Wood, Ex-President Roose- welt, Secretary of War Baker and oth- CTS.
