MEDICAL OFFICERS RESERVE CORPS
State Society Takes Hold of Problem of Filling Quota-ro- vision Made for Protection of Practice of any Surgeon Who Volunteers.

The Connecticut State Medical So- ciety and the medical section Of the state council of defense have taken hold of the problem of filling the state quota of the medical officers reserve corps by a circular addressed to mem bers of the profession urging them, If they are under 55 years of age, to enlist in the service
 Provision was made in resolutions passed by the state medical society on May 2S for protecting the practice of any surgeon who thus volunteers. The profession is put upon its honor not to attempt to steal the practice of the absent member of the pfofes- sion, but to do everything In it's pow CT to see that it is turned over to him on his return. This is done, not in the name of the physician, but in the name of the profession, and as pa triotic duty The following circular has been sent out by Dr. D. Chester Brown of Danbury. chairman of the medical section of the Connecticut State Council of Defense:
 By action of the council of na- tional defense, medical section, the Connecticut quota of physicians need ed for the medical officers reserve corps has been put at 145.
 The lists furnished by the county secretaries contained the names of 390 physicians who signihed their in tention of joining the reserve corps, applications sent them.

MORE NORWICH BOYS
 IN NAVAL REsERVE
Second District Office Now Has More
 Than 800 Recruits.

The Second Naval Reserve District Recruiting office in the municipal building, New London. which is in charge of LSeutcnant Commander Si- las NJ. Marsters, has now more than the 800 recruits allotted to the ofhce as it's quota for the district. The to- tai Is now 514.
 This is considered an especially that for a period of several days the office had a ban on all recruits of conscription age, and 1t was young men of that age who furnished the bulk of the enlistment.
 The most recent recruits. their ad- dresses and ratings are:
 Francis J. Buckley, Norwich. radio operator. third class. William F. O|Neili, Norwich, gen eral electrician. second calss.
 Joseph R. Wearing. Norwich. car penter's mate, second class.
 John J. HefFerman. New London. electrician. third class.
 Thomas J. Tracy, Jr., Norwich. sea- man. first class.
 Hobart w. Thompson, Watch FTiII. R. l., nlachinist's mate, first class.
 Richard Starr. New London, sea man, first class.
 Bradford Stone, Eastern Point sea man, first class.
 William H. Sheehan Mystic sea man, first class.
 John s. Rude, New York seaman. second class.
 William A. Lusk, Brooklyn. seaman. third class
 William w. Dougai. Brooklyn. saa- man. first class.
 Now that the recruiting ofice in the municipal building has enrolled SO many recruits, the clerical stan there has been somewhat reduced. The principal activity hereabouts now. as far as the naval reserve is concerned. is at the state pier in East New Lon don. where a large number of oncers and enlisted men of the reserve are busy at work every day.
 The number of submarine chagers making this port their home. is being steadily increased. The indication is that this harbor will be one of the most important bases for the opera tions of the naval reserve

THE WINpHAM COUNTY
 VOLUNTEERS IN 1882
When Captain 6ates' Company March hs ed Through Danieison.

In regard to the Windham County Volunteers in 1882 the Windham County Transcript of August 2, 1882, says:
 ing. but who is willing to stay at home. Wipdham county, the home of as pure a patriot as has fallen in the present war. who's. blood crys from the ground for vengeance, will have no conscrfpts from her borders. The Windham County Transcript also en- Enthusiastically records, We can in form the people abroad that our ceun- country. and the people are stirred with an enthusiasm that declares she will honor all calls upon her pa triotism. Besides the company tnat left Tuesday we have other squads forming in this vicinity. Willimantic company Is full and expected to go to Norwich yesterday.
 On August 5, 1862, a company of no men led by their captain, Thomas K. Bates, marched through the streets of Danielson as noble a corps as has entered the contest from any state or county in the land. Their tread was firm and solid, almost speaking the firm resolve to conquer or die. There were 56 volunteers from Kfllingly, 12 from Brooklyn. 21 from Putnam, IS from Woodstock, 8 from Plainfleld and 1 from Eastford. Of this number 57 were married, e4 were under 32. g be-
 
 CTS. John o. Adams of Brooklyn, a farmer. aged 19 and married was the first volunteer.
 In the same paper we find thisA
 The president has called for 300,- coo troops for nine months service. and that drafting will be resoreed to after the 18th unless the number ask ed for by this and the previous call are enlisted by that time. This meets with a hearty response by the citi- zens of this country as it is an i'm dication of vigorous energetic policy on the part of the government The necessity of that hour and the pres ent are identical. Will Windharn fill her Roll of Honor Tn 1917 as she did in 1S62?
 Will they say again of the coun- ty as they proudly said on the 7th of August 1882, The war spirit Is around in this vicinity and the peo- pie are willing to offer any libation on the altar of liberty.
