CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-Ninety medical schools in the United States With a total enrolment in graduating classes of more than three thousand young men, available for army and navy ser vice, will institute on February l a series of lectures on naval and mill tary sanitation and treatment of the sick in both branches of the service.
 These lectures will constitute a reg ular course in nearly all the medical schools of the country and will be un- der supervision of Surgeon General William c. Gorgas, United States Army. and Surgeon William c. Brai- sted, Uniter States Navy. The new curriculum, prepared by the army and navy medical school. is tne result of a movement started by Dr. Franklin H. Martin of Chicago, a member of the commission of national defense. It is predicted that the army and navy, now 600 short in medical officers. will he able not only to fill vacancies, but to have a large reserve.
 Army and navy officials nave de- veloped a number of motion pictures showing every phase of hospital con- struction and administration, their idea being that if a regular army medical lofficer lectured to students and had screen illustrations to clarify his as sertions, the ocular demonstration would carry as much weight as the vocal.
 With perfection of this plan.

LAST AMERICAN
 SOLDIERS OVER
 BORDER IN WEEK
TaepubIican A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-Orders for the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico were officially announced today by the war department with the statement that the nOrthward move ment of General Pershings men began early this morning with the evacuation of Colonia Dublan.
 The American expedition went into Mexico in pursuit of Villa following the massacre of seventeen Americans by Villa adherents at Columbus, N NJ, on March 9, 1916. Secretary Baker is sued the following announcement:
 General Pershing has been ordered to bring his troops out of Mexico. The movement is to be an immediate one and is probably already under way
 Later advices to the department said that the troops already had begun the evacuation of Colonia Dublan, 110 miles from the border where they had been concentrating during the past few weeks. The last American soldier is expected to recross the border in about a week. No official information is at hand as to whether Villa or Carranza troops will occupy the territory left va cant by the Americans, but the belief is strong here that Villa, who is cred
 
 and who is now said to be at least four times as strong as when the Ameri- can troops went across the border. will make desperate effort to take the territory
 Two other phases of the Mexican prob lem on which interest centers now are the disposition of more than 50,000 mi litia still on the border and the send ing of Ambassador Fletcher to his post at Mexico City. Officials say no de- cision has been reached in either of these questions but that both are de- pendent on the turn of events in Mex ico.
 At least part of the remaining guardsmen are expected to be ordered home as soon as the 25,000 now leav- ing have been moved out of the way and Pershing's regulars have been re- distributed to provide adequate prOtec- tion for the border perhaps in three weeks time. Pershing's withdrawal will enable much smaller force to guard the border, as a large support has been essential to, his long line of communications.
 The delay in sending Ambassador Fletcher is due to the administration hesitancy to accord that degree of rec ognitjon to the Carranza government. which is felt not only to have been none too friendly but also to be seri- ously endangered by Villa, Zapata and other bandit activities, as well as by the extremely weak economic cOndi- lions in the country The Pershing withdrawal will be carried out with as much speed as pos

WILL BE BUSY NEXT
 THIRTY DAYS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-With less than thirty working days remaining in the life of the sixty fourth congress, the democratic steering committee of the senate decided toeay to hold daily sessions of the senate from eleven o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock at night, beginning Thursday, Feb ruary 1. The decision is to drive hard and fast in essential appropriations and the revenue bill and to undertake the big administration measures one by one as time permits.
 In view of the fact that Representa- tive Adamson. is preparing to rush a separate bill on the subject through the house the senate committee may decide to wait. Tn that case, the cor rupt practices bill or the mineral land leasing measure may be given a tryout
 The plan of the steering committee is reported to be an experimental one Owing to the unusual opposition from one source or another to nearly every pending administration measure some of the leaders believe it would be wise to call up the various bills to see just what progress might be made on them and to determine if threatened opposi- tion is so unyielding as to make their passage before March 1 impossible.
 Another obst: action to business which democratic leaders fear is the urgent desire of republican senators to force discussion of President Wilson's peace address. as provided for in Sen ator Cummins resolution for debate and the Borah resolution to reaffirm the faith of the senate in the Monroe doctrine and the principles of Wash ington and Jefferson advising against entangling foreign alliances
 Several senators are known to be preparing addresses on these subjects and they intend to discuss the issues regardless of whether the senate votes to set aside any time for the debates.
 In the house this week the revenue fight will begin. The ways and means committee will meet tomorrow. when the entire membership for the first time will consider and pass upon the measure framed by Chairman Kitchin and his democratic colleagues. MT Kitchin said the bill would he reported out of the committee Monday: taken up by the house Tuesday and passed probably Wednesday night or Thurs day The republicans favor protec- tive tariff proposition with rates not exceeding the Payne-Aldrich tariff rates as a substitute for the democratic plan.
 Republican representatives will eau GUS probably Friday night on the leg isIative situation There will be general sizing up of the political field and discussion of house organization and legislation policies for the coming congress. A resolution to fss cansid- cred among others is one introduced bv Representative Anderson, tMinne- sota). left over from last weeks re- pi,blican caucJs. to create commit

SESSION OF SOLONS
 MAY PROVE STORMY

Weather forecasts indicate unsettled conditions in the legislature today Labor measures will occupy foremost places in each house and in the lower branch there may be a storm, accord ing to the showing of low barometricai readings last night. Low pressure in the labor mentors have forced leaders and orators to the capital
 The Mckay minimum wage bill whose consideration in the committee of the whole on Friday was unfinished. will be taken up this afternoon at two o'clock in the shape of a public hear ing. This was granted at the request of the coast management of the Har- vey House system. At the same time, an invitation was extended to the friends of the bill and they have re- sponded generously A large number of labor leaders were in conference last night in relation to this bill and the Kinney bill, which will be before the committee of the whole of the senate. Prominent among the advocates of the minimum wage bill will be Attorney w. B. Cleary, of Bisbee. It has not been announced whether the senate meeting will be public; that is, whether any but members will be permitted to speak on the Kinney bill

Telegrams. long distance telephone calls, and even the wireless formed an insistent trio demanding the major portion of Governor Campbe.Ps time from Saturday night until the present hour The Western Union was swamped. An extra shift of operators and clerks was put on to handle the incoming business and as for the messenger boys, they reaped a harvest. The telegrams all carry a personal touch. Some are of one word, some of two, and several are lengthy. One man wired that he was tickled to death, another mentioned the fact that the Campbells did fine all uniting on the seemingly indisputable point that it was the most suspicious occasion in the history of the state.
