DRAFTING DOCTORS.

In a report made recently to the
Council Of Nationa. Defense by d
group of medical experts, it was urged
that the selactiye draft principle be
used for filling up the army medical
corps The volunteer system has
failed to provide the necessary phys.
icians.
Many doctors have been deferred
from enlistlne, il Is said, by exagger-
ated reports Of fatalities in the medi.
cal service at the front II these re.
ports were true It would reflect no
credit on the profession. Surely doe
tors should face bullets as bravely az
other men But they are not true
Instead Of the British medical service
having lost 6,0OC men in this war up
to June, 1t had suffered only 100 cas-
ualties. and the deaths numbered only
20 per cent Of injured. That is not
an alarming record for n medical
force Of 1900 men.
f IL Is ncld, however, mat the y0lun
teer system is unwise even If it would
produce the necessary numbers. !,
brings into the army all sorts OF doe
tors, many OF them far better fitted
for family practice than army hos
pital Work. The selett.ye draft woul,
carefully consider the particular quail
ifications OF every physician, weigh
Ing his value to his own comnmnlt,
as well as his possible value to thu
army. and would take only men why
are Well fitted for service and coul,
DO spared from their own ccmmunl
ties. This Is the principle already ap
piled 10 men Of other vocations; /
should work still better when applIe'
to doctors.

"The Heir to the H0oraif'

No story of the west has had a
greater success in its dramatized form
than "The Heir to the Hoorah.''
Three Western mining men, joint
owners of great mining property,
conceive the curious idea that there
must be an heir to the mine which is
called The Hoorah. y They are all
bachelors and the idea of marriage
appeals to none of them. Lots are
cast and the youngest one is chosen
to marry. He is taken to many places
where choice could b. made of a Wife
but finds no one 20 suit his fancy
1t so happen that an Eastern So
c:ety girl arrives in the mining town
just when the young fellow has Civ
en- up his search. He is attracted
by the young woman who in turn is
attracted by the Wealth of the miner
They marry. hut the differences II
their stations assert themselves very
quickly, the union proves failure and
the husband leaves the wife. AT
ter he leaves a child is born. Whei
he learns of that fact he hastens back
and the child brings about happy un
derstanding and lasting happiness.

VISIT LUTHERAN WOMAN'S
SECRETARY TO United SYNOD
Condensed From Report in l lutheran
Church Visitor.

One Of the richest treats Of the con-
ference was meeting and hearing Mr..
Hajime Inadomi, Of Japan, student at
Roanoke college, himself result OF
Lutheran mission work. Mr. 1nadomi
is powerful speaker with a message
Of ringing challenge to American
Christianity. He states the greas
problem of the church is the awak-
ening of the religious nature in the
youth of this country. do not for
get Christ in life" MIR. Inadoni is a
conclusive argument for foreign work,
and his plea for men and women and
mans to bring not only Japan, but
even America, Through darkness to
light" is most telling. If Japan can
give us just one such reflex Of power
and personal devotion, we can predict
with certainty the blessing she will
be to the world when evangelical.
AS in many of our forward move
ments, the women Of the United synod
have taken the lead on Saturday, No
vember II, 1916. the first Lutheran
Wcmen's Students conference was
held in connection with the mission
ary conference. 1t was an event or
great significance to have gathered
delegates from four OF the five Lu-
theran schools for women in the
South, to discuss student opportuni-
tios and obligations. The meeting,
in charge of Miss Rosalyn Summer, OF
Mont Amoena seminary, opened with
a devotional period emphasizing the
necessity of Divine guidance in the
time of enthusiasm and youth. Sev-
en-minute talks were given as fol-
lows: students in Missionary His
tory Miss Florence Strickler, Eliza
