a IN o DOCTORS NEEDED FOR
WAR
1a,ooo Medical Officers and 10000
Aids VIII be Required by
October I.

Washington, D. c., July 2o-Two
out of every nine physicians of mill
tary age throughout the United
States and its principal possessions
will be required for war service
The Government so announced to-
day.
If the doctors don't volunteer they
may be drafted under a special law
but officials don't anticipate the lat
ter course will be necessary. :
While it is conceded the demand
upon the doctors is probably the
heaviest made upon any profession
the medical men of the country are
said to be meeting it readily and in
fine spirit.
There are in the United States ap.
proximately 10000 physicians of mil
itary age-32 to S. years and fully
"a 900 of this number will be needed
perhaps more.
They will be modified through a
system of selection which will oper-
ate in Alaska, Porto Rica, and Ha-
waii, as we'll as in continental United
States, and will draw from each COM
munity contribution proportionate
to the number of available physicians,
but will not strip any village of its
physicians, however, anxious they
may be to engage in wal. work.
Some $4,000 medical officers and
10000 enlisted men in the medical and
sanitary corps will be needed by Oc-
tober I, when the National Army, the
National Guard and the Regular
Army will all be in camp and at war
strength. These men will be trained
and ready when wanted. A detach-
ment for each National Army regi-
ment will reach the cantonments
ahead of the troops to supervise
preparations necessary for safe
guarding health.
These $4,000 medical officers and
10000 enlisted men must be approx
imately doubled to meet the demand
which will be made upon their ser
vice when the troops are sent over
seas for battle. This order also will
be filled as the men are required. In
other words, before all the troops are
abroad-a total of about $4,000 medi-
cal officers and 10000 enlisted men
for medical department work must
be ready. Only trained men will be
sent with the troops. Selection fol
each contingent about to sail fol
France will be made from those med
Ii ical officers and men who are -bes'
fitted to go.

FIND TETANUS IN
COURT PLASTER.
Chemical Analysis by Government
Discloses Plot to Poison Public.

| Washington, July 3o-Court Plas-
ter said to have been distributed by
German sympathizers. has been found
on chemical analysis by the depart
ment of justice, to contain tetanus
germs. Attorney General Gregory
today warned the public to use only
court plaster from reliable sources.
The department of Justice today
authorized the following statement
relative to its investigation of sales
of poisoned plasters in various sec
tions of the United States:
THE department of justice. with
out sharing in any sentimental view
as to the manner in which sticking
plasters or court plasters became in
fected, states that some of the
samples submitted and analyzed have
been thereby shown to contain teta-
nus germs. The public is conse-
quently cautioned against purchasing
this remedy except from approved
sources The warning is particularly
directed against purchases in small
packages from street peddlers and
vendors.
Kansas City, July 28.-Chemical
tests Of court plaster circulated in
rural communities of Kansas by
itinerant peddlers, show that at least
one brand of the plaster contained
tetanus baccili, according to an
nouncement today by Fred D. Rob-
ertson. United. States district attor-
ney for Kansas. Many samples OBJ.
tanned by the federal authorities
still are being tested.
Mr.. Robertson said tests upon
guinea pigs and other animals showed
tetanus bacilli in sufficient quanti-
ties to paralyze human, but that
the bacterioligists were doubtful
whether there was enough to cause
death.

FRESH FISH TO
 GET CLEARANCE
 FOR THE SOUTH
Steamship Officials Are Endeavo ring to Give Local Buyers Space
 for Shipments.

sThe latest obstacle that the fish buyers of Juneau have run against is the lack of freight space on Seattle begun carrying the products of the packers to the markets and the sud den developing of a fresh fish export ing business at Juneau and Douglas has caught them unprepared to han dle the freight. Transportation peo- pie believe, however, that the diff culties will soon be cleared up, and that fresh fish will soon be given the right of way on the passenger steam CTS, leaving the canned salmon for the freight steamers where that may be necessary.
 Fish buyers were considerably wor- ried yesterday when it became evi- dent that the Al-Ki had to take car go of packed fish south and would be unable to handle any fish and that the City of Seattle could not handle anything like was here and at Doug las for shipment The Alameda had planned to go to Taku for cargo of fish, but instead she took on fresh fish at Juneau and cleared the situa- tion up in measure.
 Agents w. E. Nowell of the Alaska Steamship company and s. H. Ewing, of the Pacific Steamship company to- day are endeavoring to get in com' munication with the Alaska and Ad- miral Evans and induce them to carry fish. The buyers are waiting for de- velopments today before buying more fish. It is believed, however, that these vessels will be able to take all the fish offering at Juneau and Doug las.
 It is conceded that unless this sit uation can be relieved, the fishermen will not risk coming to Juneau to sell their cargoes, but will go whore there are both buyers of fresh fish and cold storage plants insuring them mar ket
 Trouble Is Transient
 "The situation is of a temporary character,I believe" said MT. Novel; today. "and exists because of it's sud den development. The steamship companies had not counted on all this fresh fish, and had begun moving the packs of the canneries. Ar, rangements to handle the fresh fish will undoubtedly be made at the ear Hest possible date. In the meantime we are doing the best we can, and will take all that is possible, on ev cry boat that sails"
 Not only is there quantity Of fish at Juneau and Douglas but it was learned today that there were lol boxes at Petersburg and 300 at ket chikan waiting for shipment. Unles' boat arrives soon they will nave to be sold to the cold storage com panies.

The high cost Of living was before

sense of the meeting" and there was
no further discussion.

CUBS BOSS TO
HIRE GOLFER TO
TEACH BATTING
Chas. Weeghman Springs
a New One On The Base
ball World

New York, Nov. 6.-If the baseball
world doesn't watch its step Charley
Weeghman is going to take the old
game all to pieces and reassemble 1t
according to his own ideas.
Weeghman, who runs the Chicago
club of the National league, started
out a year ago to put some new ideas
into the grand ola pastime, but his
year when he got tangled up in his
training plans. But he is going right
on through with them.
Weeghman Has idea
Weeghman has the idea that hitters
can be made. In spite of the oft-re-
peated assertion, proved many times,
according to present methods, that
real hitters are just simply able TO
crack 'em and the boys who don't hit
'em can't be made to, he is going to
go the limit with his new idea.
Just about a year ago Weeghman
conceived the idea of taking crack
golfer to California with him and
Sticking him onto the boys with the
in their batting. A follow through
blow, such as is used in golhng,
Weeghman contended, could be put TO
good advantage on a baseball club.
To Engage HPrO' Golfer.
Weeghman handed out the idea in
seriousness and engaged Chick Ev-
ans to make the trip to California to
teach the Cubs something about hit
ting. However, so much fun was made
of the idea and things got so bad
about the time the Cubs beat IL for
the coast that Weeghman abandoned
the idea. This year, he declares, he is
going through with 1t, but he has in
view a professional golfer as instruct
or for his men. Fred Mitchell, he says
is agreeable to the experiment
Mitchell has in CHUCK" Workman
and several other high class aelders,
but poor hitters, admirable material
to turn over to the teacher. 1t may
be that Weeghman will come back
with a school of ball players who will
begin knocking them far and wide
with such gusto that the golf swing
will become a common term.
Many Runs Are Lost.
And, having relieved himself of the
goldng fever, Weeghman came
through with another bunch. He is
going to coach his runners at third
base to start for home after sacri-
fee fly, from a sprinter's crouch. He
contends that many runs year are
lost through a baseball players in
sistence on watching the ball as IL
an outfelder. The start,
he says, could be made at a sound
from the coacher at thEd.
Some mighty funny suggestions, but
the Cubs can stand the experimenting
IL any club can.

'CLEANEST GAME
| EVER REFEREED
So declares Emil CHASER,
Official at Fargo-Wil-
liston High Battle

'The Fargo high-Williston high
battle at wiIliston last Saturday was
absolutely the cleanest game that ]
ever saw or refereed" said Emil Gla-
ser, physical director of the Fargo
Y. M. C. A. who refereed the contest.
Monday.
There wasn't sembIance of dirty
work on either side; there being only
three penalties, and then for onstde;
and the best of feeling existed before
and after the game. The. Wtlliston
high school girls pooled their money
after the game, and bought each or
the teams a five-poundE box of bon
bons."
Mr.. CHASER was greatly impressed
with the sportsmanship of the Willis
ton football fans.
There was one time" he said.
when Fargo had the ball in the
shadow of the Williston goal posts,
and not a soul in the big crowd that
crowded the sidelines made a sound
that might hinder the Fargo players
from hearing their signals. ! never
saw such splendid courtesy before.
Mr.. CHASER took occasion during his
visit to make short talk on ~
war work, finding the Wfllistonites
good listeners.
