MEDICAL OFFICER
IN u. S. CABINET
Is Recommended By DR.. Charles II. Mayo
of Rochester, Mimi, Before Amer
lean Medical Association.

| New York, June 6.-The United States
should in the near future have a medical
officer in the presidents cabinet, in the
opinion of DIR. Charles III. Mayo of Roch-
ester, Mimi, as expressed last night in
an address before the annual meeting
here of the American Medical associa-
ton, of which he is president. In his ad-
dress DR.. Mayo asserted that, in the pres
emit war, the medical service has assumed
an Importance such as it never has be-
fore.
"The old army hospital gangrene is a
thing of the past" declared DR.. Mayo.
"A knowledge of the care of infections,
prevention of tetanus, vaccination for
smallpox and typhoid, the cause and pre-
vention of typhus, the old camp fever,
also cholera, the plague and feyers of all
sorts. including the new trench form, is
training requirement of the army medi-
cal officer, and results in the restoration
TO duty of high percentage of the in
jured.
eve must aid in all that will elevate
the general standard of and conserve
the American citizen. Prohibition is a
war measure the value of which is be-
yond discussion. Medicine has reached a
period when alcohol is rarely employed
as drug, being displaced by better rem
edies. Alcohols only place now is in the
arts and sciences, National prohibition
would be welcomed by the medical pro-
fession.
"The benefit to our country after the
present war in having some thousands of
medical officers trained in sanitation, by
giene and the prevention of disease will
be incslculable. Through lax examina-
tions of recruits and the natural effects
of prolonged life and over-crowding in
trenches and underground structures, tn
berculosis will become menace to our
soldiers, as it is to-day in France.
at is most fortunate that our army
medical service is in the hands of three
of our ablest men, Surgeons General Cor
gas, BREASTED and Blue, and we must laud
the work of the general medical council
under the able dictatorship of DIR. Frank
lin Martin.
Medical men, your country needs you
now and always. You must remember
that the state is permanent and does not
exist for the good of the individual but
that the individual exists for the good of
the state"
Asserting that American army medical
officers stand prominent in science, DIR.
AIayo reviewed some of their most not
able achievements, such as the discov-
cry of the pneumococcus by Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg. founder of the army med
ieal school and the government lsbora-
tories of bacteriology and hygiene; the
discovery by Maj. Walter Reed, James
Carroll. Jesse w. Lazear and Aristide
Agramonte OF a method of controlling
yellow fever; and the work of Surgeon
General Gorgas in Kidding Havana and
the Panama canal zone OF that disease.

RUSSIA RETURNING
TO SANITY?
Brusiloff's Appointment to Lead Armies
May Indicate End of
Chaos.

Brusiloffs appointment as commander
n-chief of the Russian armies may mark
a turning point in the situation
in the Slav republic. If Brush.
off becomes firmly fixed as leader OF the
Russian armies the military problem
may be solved, Brusilof not only is
popular but he is brilliant soldier. His
great drive in Volhynia and Galicia was
the greatest single operation of the war
outside the battle of the Marine that
had taken place up to that time. He
captured exceeding 100000 prisoners and
five hundred guns Probably the Teuton
casualties exceed 100000. At the out
break of the revolution he threw his lot
with the new regime, but pointed out
that the provisional government must
be supported and that the workmen's
and soldiers council must keep its hands
off the army as mot only relaxation
of discipline, but the existence of any
kind of confusion or duality in the CEN
trail government would prove fatal to
the efficiency of the army" Because the
radical elements did interfere he re-
signed his command of the army of the
southwest. That he has been given chief
command would indicate return to
sanity in the republic and perhaps even
an offensive which would bring the Teu-
ton men and guns sent to the western
and Italian fronts hurrying back if they
could let go. In event that Germany
had to keep them in the west and south
west it might mean the bending Of the
kaiser's lines on the Russian front.

"The earth has a trife less than 1877.

A little over fourth of this surface is

of this 25,000,000 square miles, or seant
fraction over one half, is soil that can be
used for food production. The rest is

| Washington, ID. c., June 6.--Peace on
the basis of no annexations and no in.

jolt from the French deputies, who in
no uncertain terms have demanded that
Germany restore all invaded territory,
including Alsace and Lorraine pay for
all damage done, and give adequate
guarantees for the keeping OF the peace"
in the future. These are the terms
which France, Great Britain, Russia and
the other entente allies unanimously ex-
pressed at the same time in response to
President Wilson's request for state
ment OF terms. Germany, by the way,
did not reply to the presidents request.

Petroleum Marketed in Illinois in 1916.
Barrels OF AZ gallons eaeh.)
Total quantity


The average price received for this oil
at the wells was Sl.65 barrel a gain of
81 cents, or 6S per cent, over the average
price in 1915. That was sufficient to
make the total market value of the out
put in 1916 greater than that of the out
put in any other year in the history of
the local petroleum industry.
The stimulus to field activity supplied
by the more favorable market for petro-
leum in 1916 resulted in the completion
of ] ,46l new wells during the year, as
compared with 757 in 1915. OF these,
l,l07, or rs per cent, produced oil, SO
produced gas only, and 3lS were barren
of either.
Field activity in Illinois in 1915 in
cluded Is counties in its scope, Crawford
leading in the number of new wells com
pleted, but Lawrence leading in the vol
ume of new production obtained. The
combined output for the first day of pro-
ductive life of all oil wells completed in
Illinois in 1915 was 247S9 barrels, an
average of 22.4 barrels for each well,
which is less by 80 barrels, or Is per
cent, than the corresponding average in
1915.
The larger proportion of the oil pro-
duced in Illinois in 1916 came as usual
from the fields in the southeastern part
of the state, in which operations we're
restricted in the main to proved terri
tory. Efforts to develop an oil pool of
consequence in the southwestern part of
Allison township, Lawrence county, were
unsuccessful. Several oil wells with mi
