COOTIES INVADE 700 SNAKE HOUSE; 24 REPTILES DIE Pets of the Trenches Find a Wonderful Playground on 30-Foot Python, A battalion of “cooties” from some- where in France has landed in the Bronx Zoo and have already “got” the enakes. They “got” twenty-four of Curator Ditmar's pet ophidians in the last three weeks. They rattled the slats of a Texas rattler, worried the life out of a Louisiana moccasin and tickled to death a South American and en African python, to say nothing of the demise of @ raft of reptiles of lower degrees, Now they are “getting” Damascus, the most famous of all South Ameri- can pythons, Damascus began to show signs on last Saturday and|© they've been sitting up nights with him ever since, for the cooties never sleep; at least such was the egperi- ence of the boys in the trenches, Snakes shed their skfns in the sum- mer and the snakes in the Zoo made no exception to the rule. But when they began shedding them again three weeks ago @ general alarm was cent out. After the death of the moccasin & microscopic examination of his re- mains revealed the presence of the friends of the Boches. Damascus showed fight when the curator and his assistants took him in hand, but he was tied down and the examination went on, He ts thirty feet long and the cooties never had @ better playground, Over in France the boys were told not to scratch themselves. The snakes con't scratch themselves, but their condi- tion doesn’t seem to improve by the observance of the sanitary measure. And in the Zoo they don’t know what toj do, The snake dens were If You Saw Wood Each Day You Won’t Need Cascarets Great medicine, —the | Sawbuck, Two hours a day sawing wood will keep any- ‘ THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 19 fumigated and a solution prepared as @ wash, It was no solution to the problem in hand.

Secretary Daniels clearly thinks that the 47,000 men who enlisted only for the duition of the war “shoull be dis- charged at the official end of the war, viz, when peace is declared,’ but that in the], 18, all other enlisted mon required by the emergency, which may not end signing of a f ‘or the Whole four yuate. ‘The entire question of release of these four-yenr men seems to hinge wpon the} Our Special 3.

CHARITY. | ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE PUBLIC Greater New York has set itself the task of contributing a minimum of $35,000,000 of the total of $170,500,000 to be raised by the. Nation for the seven allied organizations. Up to this (Monday) morning she has subscribed only a scant $20,000,000. It has therefore been deemed expedient by the committee in charge, in line with the policy adopted nationally, to continue the United War Work Campaign two days longer than originally planned. It will be brought to a close at midnight Wednesday, Nov. 20th, instead of at midnight to-night. This change has been made necessary because the public mind and attention were so thoroughly (and quite properly) engrossed with the celebration of the glorious victory during the first days ' of the campaign that it paid but slight heed to aught else. It isunthinkable that New Yorkers should default in supplying to our brave boys those things for their physical comfort and moral support which the Government does not supply and only the organizations united in this campaign can supply. money raised is to be used in war activities, and not a dollar is to be expended in the permanent work of any of the organizations. In- gratitude is an unpardonable sin under any conditions, Are we going to fail the first time we’re asked to make good our implied promises? All the We sent our boys across the sea to fight, and if need be to die, They have done both unselfishly and gloriously. we now desert them by supplying only half-heartedly those things | to the value of which they bear testimony with one voice? Let Shall us say to those splendid fellows who have ‘so bravely borne the - brunt and horrors of the war, who have faced death a thousand times for our sakes: “We'll dig deep into our pockets and give even more than we can afford, and we'll do without, that you may have, during the weary months before your home coming, every- thing that will not only help you over there, but bring you back to us, physically, morally and mentally, in the pink of condition.” While demobilization will go on to some extent during the next twelve months, there will certainly be an average of a million men under arms during that time. It was on this basis that the budgets of several of the organizations were made up. Those who have given one day’s pay at their shop, office or factory should realize that this is the minimum measure of their responsibility, does not complete their obligation and should not be considered as relieving them from subscribing at home or else- All those who can contribute a larger amount in a pledge payable in four monthly installments, beginning December 1st, where, should make the gift in that form. Every house, office and factory in Greater New York will be visited by duly accredited volunteer solicitors, and it is hoped and expected that they will be received graciously and will meet with generous responses, Let every man and woman in New York ask himself or herself Have I evaded my real responsibility? Have I done my share? Have! given all that I can really afford frankly and candidly: to give? WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
