GENEVA, Nov. 19.-From other than English military sources the news reaches this city that the civil population of Turkey is in great alarm over the steady continued advance of the British troops who are momentarily expected to cap ture and occupy the ancient Biblical city of Jerusalem. These develop ments have likewise thrown the statesmen and political leaders into turmoil culninating in loud mani festations of unrest in Corstantin- ople. It is believed that the fall of

 The rebellion seems to have it's origin in the capital city and to have received its impetus by the govern ment buildings quickly falling into the hands of the rioters but has spread rapidly to other localities.

heretofore credited to them. For a month there has been in progress an active propaganda for the pur- pose of widening the age limits for war service under the compulsory relect service act. It appears that serious opposition has developed from officers high in rank and in- fluence and the Secretary of War now definitely announces that his Department does not contemplate asking Congress to make any change either by lowering the age at which young man must enter the service or of extending the maximum age limit beyond which a man may not be admitted to the select service.

GIVE THE PUBLIC YOUR NAMES

It is the belief of this newspaper that the people are entitled to know the name of the party OF par ties who were responsible for the publication of the large display ad- vertisement which appeared on the front page of the Nugget last E'Vi- day.
 This does not imply that we look upon it's appearance as being wrong in any way, and the matter will take on a sinister and undcrhanded appearance only if the names of thoee inserting the ad. are too long withheld.
 We understand that all efforts to learn their names have failed and the Industrial Worker very courte- ousIy invites them to step in the open. It seems to us that about three fourths of the population of Nome have asked us to publish their names and we shall do SC the mo- ment the mysterious secret is found out.-THE EDITOR.

GUARDING ARMIES AGAINST DISEASE

ferences with these men the surgeon
generals themselves, occupied constant
ly with administrative tasks, have beegl
able to gain new points of view and
gain detached perspective in looking
at their problems from time to time.
During the last months the work of
the medical section has been directed
IN three main channels. The most com
prehenslve has been keeping in touch
III an advisory capacity in the work of
the several divisions of control of the
government and the civilian population
the medical corps of the army and
navy, the public health service, the
Red Cross and the work with the civil.
ian and munition workers.
Besides this work of keeping gen
eral oversight over all branches of the
public medical service, the committee
has concerned itself deeply with the
problems of personnel and supplies.
The personnel problem has not been
solved, but 1t is possible to say that the
section has been of great service in
putting the government departments in
touch with the kind of men they need
70 take advantage of carefully laid
plans we must have in their admins
tration only physicians with the vision
and the professional training needed to
carry them out, both for active service
at the front and in the concentration
camps back at the rear. The medical
service must be filled with men of the
broadest gauge, of the standard al
ready set by it's present personnel, and
we must depend on the profession be-
tween now and the first of September
to furnish of its best even more gen
erously than in the past. The question
of planning for health now seems
somewhat academic. When the army
is modified it will be vital.
1.-THE supply problem, which is cared
for by Doctor Simpson, who sits in
with the general munitions board, has
been another source of difficulty in
which the medical section has coop
Grated with the medical divisions Of
the army and navy. Faced at the be-
ginning with Il shortage, due to the
cOuntry'S previous almost exclusive de-
pendenCe on Germany for its medical
supplies, we have hal both to arrange
for taking care of civilian hospitals and
private practice and at the same time
to build up additional sources to meet
the vast needs of the new army.
Through constant conferences with
manufacturers and close attention to
detail, especially Standardization of
products, this work is in fair way to-
ward accomplishment. There will be
no serious dearth.
THE country can rest assured that
everything of which the American med
ical profession is capable has been
done to prepare for taking care of its
new troops"

"The trained physician knows that

Doctor Martin said, dangerous cpl
denies, such as typhoid fever or men
nights, are almost certain to occur in
the army camps, striking often with
the most surprising suddenness. The
less is heard of the medical branch Of
an army the more efficient it is, because
usually when much is said about it the
comment is of a very unpleasant char
acter."
Declaring publicity is going to be the
big safeguard against mistakes similar
to those made in the Spanish-Amercan
war, Doctor Martin continued:
"The work of safeguarding the
health of the army and navy could not
be in better hands than it is right now.
In the Best of Hands.

The coal is mostly brought down the
Rhine in barges, the object achieved
by this latest move being a tightening

where, on top of the pressure OF wars
demands has come the shortage OF
rolling stock due to the increased
wear and tear resulting from lack of
sufficient lubricating oil.
