LONDON, Nov. 1b.-Tension over
the proposed Supreme Inter-Allied
War Council, which nearly brought
on cabinet crisis, had abated some-
what today, but the political situation
- still threatening.
There may be remarkable develop
ments before the end Of the year"
was the prediction made today by the
parliamentary correspondent OF the
Chronicle.
Council to Have No Executive Power.
The crux Of the situation as it ex-
listed today was this: When Prime
Minister Lloyd George made it known
that q supreme war council was to
Be formed in Paris for ''closer unity
and better direction OF operations on
the western 'front.'" q number Of news
paper men at once began attacking
the scheme. The details OF the coun-
ell and its real functions were un-
known
In the absence Of this information
the press jumped at the conclusion
that politics would play q big part in
the formation OF the council. and
fears were expressed that civilians,
without military training, might try
70 dictate to the veteran officers now
In charge OF the British and French
armies.
These press attacks led to a dec
laration in Commons by the premier.
and now II is established that the
council win not have any executive
power nor will II curtaii the authority
OF the commanders and the general
STATS OF the British and French armies.
All the council can do is TO make
recommendation. but It will try to
keep in closer touch with military de-
velopments than the governments
have been able to do in the past.

DRAFT DOCTORS
GUARD AGAINST
FAKE DISEASES

FeiEned disease will excuss less
men fre1n the second draft than from
the nrst. Steps are being taken TO
check the stimulation OF disease. which
Ii known to have been praetleed TO .
considerable extent during the nrst
draft.
To accomplish this the United States
public hygiene service has made an
exhaustive study of simulated dis
eases. A @. Dumsz has written .
treatise Of several thousands II words
on the subject. and this is today be-
ing distributed 20 all examining medi-
cal officers.
Some cases have been found where
men have gone 20 far a. to risk their
lives to simulate disease. and thus e.
cape military servics. II IL learned
that some men ate lye. potash and
suIphuric acid In order to give symp-
toms OF ulcers OF the stomach. and
thereby took longer chances with
death than they would have taken In
the trenches. Some others who ap-
parently feared high explosives on
the battle front had no fear OF taking
their explosives internally. NITRO
glycsrine and cordite were eaten and
produced all of the symptoms OF
rapid heart"
camounage was also resorted to by
some drafted men. IN order that they
might not have TO detect the camou-
haEe of the Germans. These nom
military "camouheurs" painted their
faces with tincture Of walnut juice,
and thereby affected the most evident
OF the symptoms Of jaundIce.
Some men seemed to fear they
would be wezried by war. To pre-
clude any such happening they af-
fected physical exhaustion prior to
their examination for military sCrv-
ice. To accomplish this is q simple
matter. Continued consumption OF
vinegar In stiff "shots" will produce
all of the appearance OF physical ex-
haustion. which medical officers term
toxic symptoms"
Abscesses are easily provoked. Re-
ports have been received Of a number
of cases where abscesses were found
to have been manufactured" Small
wads Of cotton thread were saturated
with tartar scraped from the teeth
and inserted in q small opening made
beneath the skin. Within a short time
these aggravated what seemed TO be
abscesseA
Simulated diseases Of the eyes were
the most frequent. II was found in
many cases that the registrants, be-
fore examination. had placed any one
OF q large number Of lotions and acids
beneath their eyelids.
Glandular swellings and Jumps were
even resorted to. Some Of the more
adroit accomplished this BY the use
Of the Injection OF hot parafin- After
cooling the paraffin presented all of
the Appearances OF q swollen glaEd
More than q hundred Of these simu-
lated diseases have been classified.
These classifieations have been sent to
examining medical officers with NIL
mute instructions for the detection of
simulated disease.
Already preparations are under way
for the second draft. and II Is declared
by military officials that medical ex-
aminations will be stiffened. The per-
centage OF men drafted In the nrst
increment and later returned has been
too large. II has cost the national
army some OF fits efficiency. and every
EFFORT will be made to forestall q
similar occurrence In the second ma
tional army.

pairing for great offensive against
the Italians. but that nothing was
done to save the day until II was too
late.
II is to be one Of the objects Of the
war council to prevent just such
eventualities in the future
The Agreement L. Read.
The premier read the agreements
between the British. French, and Ital-
ian governments for the creation OF
. supreme council for the allies. He
said # was the best way to answer
Mr.. Asquith's question. The text Of
the agreement follows:
"First-with a view to better CO.
ordination of the military action on
the western front, a supreme war
council is created, composed of the
prime minister and a member of the
government OF each OF the great
powers whose armies are lighting on
that front. the extension of the scope
Of the council TO other fronts to be
reserved for discussion with the other
great powers.
'Second-The supreme war council
has for its mission to watch over the
general conduct of the war. II pre-
pares recommendations for the con-
sideration Of the governments and
keeps itself informed OF their execu-
tion and reports thereon to the re-
spectlve governments.
Responsibility II Centered.
"Third-The general stan and mill
tary commands OF the armies OF each
power charged with the conduct OF
the military operations remain re-
spons-ble to their respective govern
ments.
"Fourth-General war plans, drawn
by competent military authorities. are
submitted to the supreme war coun-
ell, which under high authority Of
government insures its concordance
and submits, II need be, any neces-
sary changes.
'F!fth-Each power delegates to
the supreme war council one perma-
nent military representative, whose
exclusive function Is to act as tech
nical adviser to the council.
"Sixth-Military representatives re-
ceive from the government and the
competent military authorities OF
their country, all proposals, Infor-
nation and documents relating to the
conduct OF the war.
"SeYenth-The military representa
tiyes watch day by day the situation
OF the forces and the means of ali
