Aid Against Civic Abuses and Cruelty. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. Assurance of full co-operation of the police in her efforts to promote the | “Crusader” movement among children of the city have bcen received from Maj. H G. Pratt by Miss Leonora de Grange, president of the organization. e “Crusaders” were formally organ- ized last Spring as a society of chil- dren, headed and WYirected by Miss de Grange. for three years dramatic direc- tor of public schools with the purpose of protecting animals, detecting and reporting their abuse, respecting, as well as protecting the property of others, and developing among its members a sense of civic pride. In addition to the co-operation of the Metropolitan police, Miss de Grange received a letter from Superintendent of Public Schools Ballou, stating that within the immediate future considera- ' b DR TR tion would Erven to the idea n( distributing ple cards oy John A um'fiv%" .uper mm ol B - visor ' the Washington Real Bolrd hl-l also written a mny ln- dorsement of the of the Cru- saders in protecting private y and real estate. Thousands of dol worth of damage are caused every year, it was stated, through the destruction of property by children. Cruelty Cases Reported, Unbzlievable cases of cruelty to dumb animals are reported by Miss de Onnt Stories of destruction of costly shrul and flowers, digging up of bulbs or de- liberate breaking of windows, in homes temporarily closed, are told by Miss de Grange in pointing out the need for the movement, “Of course,” Miss de Grange stated, “the best method to eliminate such proclivities among children, is by edu- cation. The co-operation of school and home is absolutely essential in educat- ing children to be kind to animals and to_respect the property of others.” The value of co-operating with chil- dren themselves in the suppression of cruelty and vandalism, has aiready been recognized in New York City, where re- sults has been achieved by an organ- ization of one of the East Side schools. known as “The Humane Soclety of | Public School, No. 95.” Particular at- | tention has been given by children of this society to the abuses and cruel treatment of horses. It has become the custom among them to collect the whips which they have taken from the wagons of drivers found beating horses. In addition, the license number of the s TR 4 vehicle is taken and the driver reported to the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which immediately takes steps toward the punishment of the offender. For World-Wide Move. Miss de Grange hopes to have the r movement not only become | national but to spread throughout the world. Letters from many sections of the country and from abroad, have been received by her expressing interest and enthusiasm in the movement. The pledge of the Crusaders is: First | —To champion the cause of all animals, | to protect and treat them always with kindness, and to defend them from crueny by ohers. Second—To respect the perty of others, to avoid (hm.llhtleu, willful or maliciuos destruc- tion of property, thereby helping to make our city beautiful, at all times to be truthful and courteous in conduct. To have respect for and be obedient to our laws. PIXLEY WILL IS FILED.

MONTEREY, Mexico, October 10.—: Floods in the states of Hidalgo, San Luis Potosi and Queretaro have caused considerable loss of life and enormous destruction of property. By direction of the war department troops have been sent to the stricken districts under command of Gen. Francisco Zuazua and are distributing food and clothing among thousands of homeless people. The Paunce River rose suddenly out of its banks and inundated a scope of velley more than 100 miles long and 30 miles wide. Many small villages were swept away, and it was in these more remote communities that the loss of life was heaviest. All crops were de- stroyed. ‘The rich Huasteca region, which is devoted principally to growing sugar cane, was in the path of the flood and it was there that the property losses were heaviest. In the state of Quere- taro several rivers overflowed and caused damage and losses similar to those in Hidalgo and San Luis Potosi. London has a city beautiful cam- paign.
