DOCTORS W4R WORK.

LOndon.--"The doctor has made this
world struggle probably one Of the
least deadly ever fought in proportion
to the numbers engaged" said Dr..
Woods Hutchinson. an American in an
address at the Royal Society of Med
icine.
The doctors control over wound
infections is so mastery" he added,
that Of the wounded who survive six
hours, 80 Per cent recover, of those
who reach the field hospitals 80 per
cent recover and Of those who arrive
at the base hospitals So per cent get
well.
THE twin angels anaesthetics and
antiseptics hare not only enormously
diminished pain and agony but made
amputations rarer and grave crippl-
ings fewer than ever before in war
history Barely 5 per cegt Of the
wounded are crippled or permanently
disabled.
From the statistics made public
there is good reason to believe that the
death rate OF this year, in spite of coli
0ssal increase in instruments and en-
gines of scientific slaughter, does not
much exceed 5 per cent.

COUNCIL AND CIVIC
BODIES MAY ASSIST
LOCAL DRAFT BOARD

Provost Marshal General Crowder
has issued the following call to all
county and city councils of defense
urging them to get in back Of the To-
cal boards in the task Of classifying
the nations man power:
County and city councils Of de-
Tense, chambers Of commerce, and
other civic organizations have in many
cases offered their services to local
and district boards ia obtaining vol
untary clerical service and in facili-
tating the duties Of such boards. Local
and district boards should encourage
such offers and should cooperate with
such councils as far as consistent
with their duties under the law and
! regulations
There is in every city-in every
hamlet almost-a council Of defense.
These organizations were built 10 help
the nation in its emergency. This is
their opportunity. Everywhere there
are men who need help IA the prepar-
alton of their missionaries. The
legal advisory boards Will be the cen
trail advisory committee. They will
/ need men to go into the homes and
factories, Meetings should be organ
lied, posters should be displayed. lists
should be prepared, all looking to the
help Of the man and the quickening OF
the nations man power into action.
There are thousands Of defense
committees and hundreds of thousands
Of members. ! am confident that SIS a
result OF this call every local board
Will be aided in its efforts and every
district, no matter how remote, viii
be visited. The 20 days following Dec.
l5 should find every patriot on duty

ANOTHER PLEA TO
MAIL GIFT EARLY
Posters Point Ont Necessity. OF I'M
mediate Attention to Sending
Christmas Packages.
WAR STAMPS NOW TO BE USED
Must Be Placed on All Parcel Post
which Cost OF Sending is More
Than Quarter.

The Rock Island postmaster today
made another urgent plea to the pub
lie in behalf OF early holiday mailing
this year.
Unique posters containing the fol-
lowing inscription were placed IN the
lobby OF the postofTice. In all postal
stations throughout the city, as well
as In department stores, theatres and
other public places Of gathering:
Thousands Of postal employees
have entered the military forces Of
the United States and all branches
of the service are affected,
The railroad zystems OF the
country ara already oyerburdened,
due to war conditions,
All things will contribute to ex-
eeptionai difficulties In handling
the holiday mailings this year.
II you are DESTROYS Of making
sure of Christmas parcels reach
ing their destination in time this
year. cooperate with the postofffce
department by mailing them not
later than Dec, rs,
People who put off their Christmas
mailing this year with the expectation
that, they will be able to time their
gifts so that they will reach their des-
tination Christmas eve or Christmas
day, will, I fear, be doomed to disap-
pointment,' said Postmaster Simpson
'The only safe plan is to get all Christ
mas packages mailed not later than
Dec, IT,
Stamps for Packages.
War internal revenue stamps to BIZ
used on parcel post, effective today
were received at the Rock Island post
Office this morning, and as has fire.
| quently been explained, these stamps
are not attached to packages under q
cent rates, and are only used at tht
rate of 1c for 26c to soc; &c. from 81,
to 75c, and &c from 76c to $1.o0, etc.
and in computing these ratings charges
| for insurance, registry and c. 0. d
fees are not included. While all carry
| ing corporations throughout the coun
/ try have been collecting war revenue
for a month, the postoffice department
did not begin until today on anything
except the letter rate.
In connection with the war interna
revenue stamps, Postmaster Simpson
once more called attention OF the pub
+ lie to the fact that senders in cancel
ing the revenue stamps with their in
itials and date as required by Law
should be very careful not TO confus
them with postage stamps, as an.
marks on the postage stamps woul,
invalidate the mailing.

cred unlikely that cavalry will play
