10000 SURGEONS
 WOULD BE NEEDED
General Gorgas Says Medical Pre-. paredness Is Just as Important
 as Military

Chicago, February 7.-The United States in d few years will have an army of 1,OO0,O00 men ready to take the field and at least 10000 surgeons will be required for them, asserted Dr. w. c, Gorgas, surgeon general of the army, before the annual congress on medical education here today.
 Dr. Gorgas was urging the adoption of q proposal for a national confer ence of medical examiners, composed of representatives of state medical ex- amining boards, which would prepare examination questions for state boards. Candidates who passed this examina- tion would be eligible for the United States medical reserve corps and would not have to pass any other eXamina ton.
 Should the plan be adopted, Dr. Cor gas said, it would place the United States in a state of preparedness, from a medical standpoint, unexcelled by any nation; each surgeon would be in- structed in field duties. camp santa tion and the proper foods to be given out in various climates. At a moments $ notice he would be ready to take his place in the field, perform his duties without any instruction. This form of preparedness, asserted pr. Gorgas, is just as essential as military prepar- edness

London, February 7.-While recent reports of the actual opening of an offensive campaign by the Teutonic all lies against Saloniki appear to have been premature, the accounts of vari- ous troop movements are held in mill itary quarters to indicate that such an offensive is probably not far distant.
 Except on the front in France and Belgium little fighting has been re- ported. Paris tells of the lombard ment of German positions near Hetsas and Steenstraete in Belgium, the de- struction of German blockhouse be- tween the Disc and the Aisne and ot effective work by French batteries in the Artois and Champagne regions French shells on the former sector caused powerful explosions northeast of Arras and a great fire in the Cham pagne near Challerange.

WAR DEPARTMENT WILL SELECT SITE Underwood Does Not Think Birmingham Can Be
 Named in Bill

Washington. February 7.-(Special)
 Senator Underwood this afternoon in formed Birmingham committee inter- ested in the proposed government armor plate plant that in his opinion no bill could pass either branch of Congress which provided site for the location of such plant Of the committee, Morris Bush and Frank J. Rushton, Jr.. of Bir- mingham, and R. W. Woodruff of Annis- ton were members.
 However" the senator added, II think Birmingham's chance is good. It appears that Congress will enact a bill providing for the construction of an armor plate plant It will then be the function of the war department to select a site. In the interest of Birmingham. we can advance argument and produce facts more appeal ing and more convincing than can be ad- vanced for any other city, it is probable. But at the present time nothing can be accomplishe3s" -
 MT. Bush stated that the opinion of the senator coincided with his own, and added, in explanation of his inquiry, that Birmingham was so deeply interested that
 it desired to be informed every step of

ICOMPULSORY FEDERAL SICKNESS INSURANCE
Dr. Huffman Advocates Taxing Wage
 Farmers S2 Year to Pay Physi- cians to Keep Them Well

Chicago, February 7.-Compulsory
 sickness insurance administered by the government was advocated tonight be- fore the Federation of State Medical Boards of the United States by Dr. Otto V. Huffman. secretary of the New York
 state board. pr. Huffman proposed a plan under which he said all reputable physicians would have an assured in come and the chief incentives to qusck- cry would be eliminated.
 The plan contemplates a tax of s2 year on all wage earners whose in- come is less than s12oo. He estimates that there are 33,O0O,O0O such persons in the United States, Each could se- lect his own doctor, but no physician would be allowed to carry more than 200O names.
 This would mean $4000 a year for treating those that become sick or disabled and statistics show that not more than 60 of these would ever be sick at the same time" said pr. Huff man. S
 "In general the public does not real i ize how miserably underpaid the med ical profession is. There are 1000 active practitioners in the country and their incomes aggregate S63, ,5O0, ,00D an average of only $500 a year. Nor is it true, as has been often stated, that there are too many doctors About l2b per cent of the population is con stantly sick and disabled, an average of 19 patients a day for each doctor. This does not take into account much of the practice of specialists. Further more, insurance company statistics show that 69 per cent of the insured have some impairment of health. Ut is impossible for doctor prop erly to look after more than 16 pa tients in eight work hours. At prevail ing fees this just about pays ex- penses."
