THE BLUE CROSS

One of the most unusual and interesting booths at the Allied Bazaar is devoted to an institution called the Blue Cross which does for wounded horses what the Red Cross does for men. Since horses are lower animals and not free agents, the spur of patriotic duty does not urge them on, nor do thoughts of promotion aid them in doing their bit; yet, they have to suffer as do other participants in the war. For humane and economic reasons, these animals, commandeered from hunting stables, from the farm, and from the street, should receive a share of the attention given to sick and wounded men. Those who subscribe but a small amount to the Blue Cross Fund will do much to accomplish this object.
