In an editorial In the Greenwood
Daily Journal, comment on the in
ventive genius of American doctors in
the war zone is made as follows:
American inventive genius has
been responsible for many successes
In the European war and 1t appears
now that the work Of the American
doctor is going to prove a great bless
ing to the stricken humanity on the
battle front. This is the principa
reason that there is such an urgent
call for physicians from this coun-
try. At the meeting last week in
New York of the American Medical
Association it came to light that
three revolutionary advances were
made in medical science in a single
day. These were: An anaesthetic
which is also an antiseptic; a serum
and surgery treatment for anthrax
the dread and rare disease which has
baffied physicians. and revolution
ary method for treating Brights dis
ease from which thousands die an
nually.
1.-The anaesthctic was discovered BY
Gordon Edwards, who has tried l.
out in the trenches in Europe. He
was aided financially in his research
by Miss Anne Morgan.
1.-The anthrax method was devise
by DR.. d. G.. Dudley of Endicott, n
Y, and is being used in treating Will
liam Marmacls. now in Bellevue Hos
pital.
"Dr. Albert A. Epstein of Mt. Sinai
Hospital is sponsor for the new meth
cd OF treating Brights disease. He
believes the malady is due to changes
in the blood. and treats the blood q
we'll as the kidneys.
The anaesthetic was submitted b!
the doctor about four years ago. BIZ
was not taken seriously. The inves
tigation was then taken to Miss Ann
Morgan, daughter Of the late j.
Morgan, who was so impressed witt
II that she offered the inventor
chance to study and perfect his IL
vention, guaranteeing him ali ey
penses for two years.
"He went abroad with his invento
soon after the war began. He is tn
only civilian who has been permit
led in the first line hospitals an
dressing stations on the front. He
also told of the Queen Of Belgium "a
a nurse using the anaesthetic and ex-
pressing approval and astonishment
at it's healing qualities.
1.-The invention is composed Of three
ingredients and is harmless. He sail
II would probably revolutionize med
ical work on the European battle
fields. The discoverer, he said. had
expended his entire fortune in per-
fecting and marketing it."

retary Of War or Secretary of the
Navy, volunteer aid in time of war tC
the sick and wounded. and to add t.
the comfort of all soldiers and sailors
"2 To aid in matters of voluntary
was relief and in accord with the mil
itary and naval authorities as a me-
dunn of communication between tn
American people and their lighting
forces.
"The Red Cross is international in
the sense that it's duties and functions
are recognized by all civilized nations
and it had its origin in an internation-
al conference in Geneva.
'"The president Of the United States
is president of the American National
Red Cross. Representatives of tho
State Department, Treasury, the army
and the navy are included in the
membership of the central committee
which directs the operations and
management of the Red Cross. In
time Of war when the Red Cross Is
called into service the government Of
the United States, it's forces in the
field become part of the forces Of
the United States, and are subject to
the control of the military and naval
authorities.
"All accounts of the Red Cross are
audited by the United States War De
partment. A conference of Red Cross
workers was held in Washington May
"a and Is. 1917. finding further meas
ures necessary to meet calls that came
as a resrlt of the active participation
of the United States in warfare. Pres
ident Wilson issued a proclamation
stating that he proclaimed the week
beginning June Is and ending June
20 Red Cross Week. during which the
people of the United States will be
called upon to give generously and In

HOOVER AND MEMBERS OF THE
CABINET MAY RATION ALLIES
AND CHECK NEUTRALs.
CONTROL U. S. EXPORTS
COAL AND GRAIN WILL BE THE
FIRST COMMODITIES TO GO
UNDER THE ACT.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

hington.-President Wilson by
executive order created an Exports
Embargo Council to administer the ex
port embargo provisions of the espion-
age act.
By the administration of embargoes
through this council the nation will be
able to take many steps for the sue
cessful prosecution of the war and
also to prevent supplies reaching Ger
many through neutrals.
The Presidents order vests in the
secretary of commerce the executive
administration of all instructions to be
issued by the President under the act
and establishes an Exports Council to
be composed OF the secretary of
state, the secretary of agriculture, the
secretary of commerce and the food
administrator.
All matters of policy in connection
with operation of the act will be de-
cided by the council, which will rec
ommend to the President proclama-
tions to be issued putting certain COM
modities under export control.
Coal and grain will be the first
commodities to go under the act Food
exports will be left largely in the
hands of the food administration,
which will consult the council where
international questions are involved.
One OF the first effects OF the acts
operation will be to give the govern
ment a firm control of the domestic
food situation. Shipping, too, will be
controlled to a large extent under the
act. A plan for rationing the Euro
pean neutral countries has been
worked out and will be put into effect
Immediately. Secretary Redfield said
his department would have the act in
operation within forty-eight hours.

Fully Qualified.

The clergyman had advertised for
butler, and the next morning after
breakfast n well-dressed, clean-shaven
young man In black was ushered into
his study.
"Name, please?" asked the clergy
man.
Hillary Arbuthnot, Sir"
Age?"
"Twenty-eight."
"What work have you been accus-
toned to?"
II am lawyer, SIR"
The clergyman started. This was
odd. However, he knew many were
called in the law, but few chosen.
But" he said, "do you understand
the conduct Of household?"
"In a general way, yes" murmured
the applicant.
"Can you carver
"Yes."
Wash glass and silver?"
"I-er-think So"
The young man seemed embarrassed.
He frowned and blushed. Just then
the clergyman's wife entered.
"Are you married?" was the first
question.
"That," said the young man, "was
what l called to see your husband
about, madam. l desire to know If he
can make it convenient to Officiate at
my wedding ut noon next Thursday

In the total registration of 9.649,93S
are included COOL Indians. reported by
the Department OF the Interior.
On the whole, Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder considers the registra-
ton 100 per cent, as including the
eligibles already in the federal serv-
ice the figures would be within few
thousand OF the census estimate OF
1O,29S,1O4.
Throughout the country the local
boards organized to carry out the pro-
visions of the selective service act as
instructed by the President. There
are approximately 1000 of these
boards. each OF three members. They
were appointed by the President,
largely on the recommendation Of the
state authorities.
The boards are expected to have
every registrant numbered. as the
drafting will be done by number In
stead of by name. The local boards
will number the men registered there
and send the numbered cards to the
adjutant general of the state in which
they are located.
Each states numerals will be from
No. l upward. Numbers to correspond
with the numbers in the states will be
located in the provost marshal gen
erals office in Washington. When the
selection begins-and 1t Is expected
to begin not later than the second
week Of July the numbers Will be
drawn from a jury wheel in Washing
ton. There will be a separate selec'
ton for each state-so each state may
be called upon for its quota and one
state may not be forced to supply
more men proportionately than an
other. President Wilson will proclaim
the number of men each state must
supply. The President also will set
day for the selection.
The numbers drawn then Will be
telegraphed from Washington to the
governors of the various states. They
will notify the adjutant general, who
holds the corresponding numbered
cards, and the adjutant general will
notify the local boards under whose
Jurisdiction the selected men are.
The onus of determining whether
Or not he has been drawn lies with
he man himself. Plentiful provisions
have been made for letting each man
know whether or not he has been
drawn. Four copies of the registra-
ton list and the number he bears are
to be made public, one being placed
at the office of the local board and
another being made available for the
press.
When a man learns he has been
drawn, he is privileged to appear be-
fore the exemption board of his dis
trict and plead his case for exemption
if he considers he has one. There also
will be a board Of appeal for each
judicial district.
An investigation has been ordered
10 determine the reason for the small
registration on the Pacific coast,
where barely more than so per cent OF
the estimated figures showed in the
registration.
If finally forced to serve, the man
will be acquainted by presidential
proclamation of the date he must re-
port.for service and will be told where
to report by the local hoard. This
date has been definitely set for Sept
list. We is being rushed on the can
tonments - have them ready by that
time.
