WAR is GETTING PRACTICAL

The war is getting awfully prac-
tical. Everything about it that ap-
peals to the Imagination is obscured.
The regeneration of the world, the
vindication Of the prophets, the per-
suasion Of the nations to amicable
behavior and considerate dealings,
the restoration of Palestine to the
chosen people, Of Ireland to the
Irish, of Belgium to the Belgians,
and other properties to their right
full owners-all these hopes have to
sit down and wait upon the drub-
bing of the Germans. Only one con-
siderable detail Of restoration is pro-
crossing visibly, and that is the re-
storation of the United States to
the Americans. What calls now is
the practical duty of getting ships
to carry soldiers and food, and OF
training soldiers and raising food to
send; and Of building airplanes and
training men to sail them, and of
everlastingly fighting submarines and
devising means to put them out OF
business. Also the duty of raising
money, money, money and pouring
it in.-E. S. Martin in Life.

Saving Bison. Elk and Antelone.

The United States had within its
big-game reservations in the North
west last July, when the official count
was made, 246 head of buffalo, 1874 of
elk and 40 of antelope. The bison herd
on the National range in Montana had
increased to 1914 from 81 placed on the
range in the fall of 1909. Antelope are
harbored at the Wind Cave preserve,
in South Dakota, where the small herd
is steadily increasing. Antelope born
on the range are wilder and apparently
harder than those transferred to the
refuge, and it is believed that in time
satisfactory herd of these beautiful
and rapidly disappearing animals will
be built up.

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN the FAR EAST
Bring Food and Supplies to
zecho-SIovaks in
Siberia.
TIME American Red Cross has be-

TH American Red Cross has be-
come very active in that part of
Russia surrounding Vladivos-
tok, and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed country has
resulted in saving thousands Of lives.
The rescue work done by the Red
Cross for the Czecho-Slovak refugees
has assumed prodigiOus proportions
and Is daily becoming greater in scope.
Cabled advices received from Vladi-
vostok report that more than 10000
Czecho-Slovak refugees, 1000 Of them
children, are now being cared for by
the American Red Cross at that city. In
addition to this relief work, the cables
state that the Red Cross Medical Or
ganization is attending hundreds of
wounded CZecho-Slovak soldiers who
have reached Vladivostok after weeks
of the most desperate fighting against
the pro- German forces.
The condition of the refugees, who
were found living in tents and freight
cars along the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way west of Hardin, was pitiable. A
majority of them are farmers, though
there are many coal miners and rail-
way employees in the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the Bolsheviki, and some German ana
Austrian war prisoners.
The work Of administering to the
wounded Czecho-Slovak fighters, who
steadfastly refused to recognize the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT peace. and reliev-
ing the distress Of the homeless civil
ians was started the moment their
plight was brought to the attention of
the American Red Cross. The relief
work was directed by Charles X. Mo-
ser, American consul and head Of the
Red Cross chapter at Hardin. Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid.
While waiting for instructions from
America, they went ahead and raised
funds in Vladivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
civilians.

Red Cross, DR.. r. B. Teusler head of

to Vladivostok with necessary hospital
supplies and perfected a medical or
ganization to care for the incoming
wounded soldiers.
This organization, which was COM
plete from a medical and sanitary
standpoint, consisted of base hospital
with bed capacity for 200, one rolling
canteen, two sanitary trains, one field
first-aid unit and disinfecting train.
DR.. Teusler cabled that there were
in active service with his unit fourteen
American and seven japanese doctors
and fifteen American and seventeen
Japanese nurses. All the American
doctors are volunteering their services.
DR.. Teusler said he hoped to enlist
thirty additional American doctors and
