DOCTOR BRIBED TO GIVE
DISABILITY CERTIFICATES
French Court-Martial Convicts For
ty-Three Persons of Assisting
Fraudulent Exemptions.

PARIS. April 25.-After hearings
tasting continuously for more than
three weeks the Paris permanent court
martial has found the charges proved
against forty-three of the forty-seven
persons accused in the fraudulent med
ical exemptions case, which has been
followed with the keenest interest
throughout France.
The principal figure in the case is
DR.. Lombard, formerly municipal
councilman of Ivry, village near Paris,
who was in charge of one of the small
er Paris military hospitals and who
had. according to the evidence, con-
Quoted for months a regular traffic in
false certificates enabling soldiers to
procure their discharge from the army
as unfit. for which he demanded and
obtained substantial sums.
Several army physicians, hospital or
derlies and a picturesque Russian ad-
venturer named Garfunkel, who was
supposed to have influence in high Of
fetal quarters, were accused as accom-
plices. The other defendants were SOL
diers or parents of soldiers who had
obtained and used the false certificates.
The court sentenced DIR. Lombard to
ten years of hard labor and to pay a
fine of 5000 francs. Others were SEN
fenced to prison for terms varying
from six months to five years or to pay
fines ranging from 100 to 10000 francs.

Patriotism and Street Cars.
. the Rditor of The Star

10 the Kditor OF The Star:
The Capital Traction cars have a new
sign up for the edification of it's pa
trons,' an appeal couched in patriotic
terms, rather catchily phrased, to the
effect that in view of real preparedness
and all that. able-bodied men We're Eek
pected to move to the 'front.' Intended
to be a bit facetious. yet the man who
wrote 1t was cunning, for it is bound to
be effective since it rings of war-timed
preparedness and plays upon our emotions
of the moment. 1t is an right and far
be it from me to be captious about it or
critical indeed it's deuced clever and
we'll herd up forward more densely Tin
every sense of the ;erm) than ever before
But that's just the point and what
makes ME bit hot under the collar. We
so-called bodied men are such con-
founded sheep, SO easily led, driven ca
joled into doing fool things all to the
other fellows profit and advantage, if he
only. knows how to play upon our emo
tons and make the proper appeal to our
sense of patriotism. We know perfectly
well what our rights are in just this case,
for instance, we pay for transportation
in comfort and are entitled to a seat, but
we have become breed of strap hangers.
our patience is more than lamb-l like, and
we uncomplainingly allow ourselves to
be herded, crammed, jostled, walked over
while the transportation companies reap
fat harvests of dividends by furnishing
fares.
Our statesmen @ do all sorts Of fool
stunts they butt into others affairs or
otherwise get their countries tangled up
and at loggerheads with other countries
and plunge nations into cruel wars. But
it's all right just SO long as they sugar
coat their pills bit and play up the pa
triotic stunt and properly appeal to the
manhood of the able-bodied men in urg-
ing them to march to the front. We
march. Few of us inquire into the WHY
or the wherefore We're just able-bodied
louis with emotions and any one at ali
keen can play upon those emotions and
get our legs moving in the desired d.
rection. a band, sign. impassioned ora
tory, any old appeal to our able-bodied
emotions will do the trick and we're off.
o yes, that car sign is all right. no kick
coming. but every time I see it | lust
hate myself and the whole kit and bundle
of us able bodied, emotional, easily led
and every way sheep-like chumps There

Why Are Bearing Reins Used?
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Can any one in Washington give hui
name reason for the use of the bearing
rein on mans good friend and helper,
his horse? One knows that rich people,
often having only regard for appear
ance, sacrifice the poor dumb brutes
to satisfy their vanity, but why on
earth should our tradesmen and also
the middle class use the bearing rein
How would they like it if they were
had ito HIND a natural habit of hold
ing his head forward and a cruel mas
ter had band put around his head
and attached to hook on his shoulder
behind? And yet in agony he must be
compelled to do his work all day long
and had no means of making people
understand how painful it was. Every
driver of horse ! see with a bearing
rein I should like to punish with this
same treatment
| left my home on Madison place this
afternoon and there saw a dumb friend
braced up in this cruel way, and good
ness knows how long he had been
standing there before. and when ] re-
turned. one hour and quarter later
lie was still being forced to stand in
that unnatural position. at once
unlocked the bearing rein and the
poor animal gratefully whinnied its
thanks to me and gave his neck long
stretch. In the future I shall always
unhoOk the bearing rein when | see
horse left standing like this. and l
hope every one, man or woman who
has any humanity in his makeup will
do the same and plead with the drivers
and owners to desist from this cruel
practice.
Who will help our dumb friends?

Mild Winter in Rumania.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST. Rumania. April q
This winter has been the mildest which
Rumania has experienced in more
than twenty-five years. Snow and rain
combined reached total of only
eleven millimeters in December. which
is less than a third of the normal. The
lack of severe weather has been for
tunate in view of the shortage of fuel.
