WANT 24,OOO SURGEONS FOR
 WAR SERVICE
Government Will Even Draw Upon Alaskan Doctors to Fill
 Required Quota

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-In ob- taining 144,OOO trained men for army medical service, 24,OOO of whom must be physicians, the government will not only draw upon the continental United States, but upon Alaska, Porto Rico and Hawaii. One-half of this force will be needed by October 1 of this year and the remainder six months thereafter.
 The work of raising this huge force is already under way, ard as fast as shelter can be had the men are being placed in training camps at the rate of 200 a day. There are three of these camps, one each at Fort Riley, Kans., Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indian apolis, and Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
 Two of every nine physicians of military age in the country will be required for this service, which rep resents the heaviest demand made by the war upon any single profession, but General Georgas says the medical men of the country are meeting the call with a will.
 There are in the United States ap- proximately 9O,0OO physicians of war age, 22 to 25 years-and required number will be drawn from every dis trict proportionate to it's total num- Der of available men. No city, town, or village, however, will be stripped of it's physicians, however anxious they may be to engage in war work. The work in the training camps cov- CTS three months. AS a rule medical officers go to the camps with a view to preparing themselves to serve with the fighting troops. Officers too old for such service are held in reserve for specialists behind the battle line.

BIG BLIZZARD
 IN ANTARCTIC
 FATAL FOR IA
Alaskan Weather Hits Chile In Mid winter of Southern
 Hemisphere

PUNTA ARENAS, Chile, Aug. 9, (Via N. r., By MaiD.-For twenty four hours one of the worst blizzards in history has been raging over this entire section, including the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. There is no sign of any let-up.
 Already fourteen persons are re- ported dead as a result of exposure to cold and the fury of the high wind. The temperature during the blizzard has averaged eight below zero. At times it has reached twelve below.
 All of the straits and channels be- tween the islands and between islands and mainland are ice-blocked and many ships bound from the Pacific to the Atlantic are storm-bound, with little chance of their clearing within week.
 An Avalanche of Snow
 The storm broke in greatest fury around the base of Mount Sarmiento and veritable avalanche of snow has been for hours rolling down from it's rocky slopes, driven by wind that has reached velocity as high as 60 miles an hour.
 It will not be possible to cross the Beagle channel to the southern islands for many days and many there may be short of food, or without sufficient means of keeping warm.
 In this city conditions are critical. Snow is piled so deep it is almost i'm possible to move about in search of those needing aid. The high wind still makes it dangerous to leave shelter without ropes trailing behind, since it is impossible to see through the storm more than a few feet.
 Worst Storm Since 1889
 But one other storm of equal se- verity is recorded here. That was in 1889 when for three weeks there was no communication with the world and every channel in the archipelago was ice-blocked for weeks.

charged by the government in the suits against the Lehigh Valley rail- road company and the Reading com pany, holding company owning the Reading railroad the Central Rail- road of New Jersey, together with coal company stocks The New York district court overthrow the govern ment's contentious and dismissed the I.ehigh case. In the Reading case. the lower court overruled all of the governments charges except to direct the separation of the Central Rail- road of New Jersey from its subs1- diary coal company, the Lehigh & Wilkes Barre coal company. The court refused to order the separation of the latter railroad and the Read ing company. however, as asked by the government.
 The court this week will be asked to restrain the state of New Jersey and the Passaic Valley Sewerage commissioners from constructing sewer emptying into New York Bay. The proceedings were brought on be. half of the state of New York which alleges that the sewer would cause the pollution of the bay to the injury of the health of New York residents. The sewer is intended to gather the sewerage and trade wastes from over 1O3 square miles in the Passaic Val- ley and the courts decision will in- directly affect thousands of residents of that district.
 Another important case which has been placed on special docket to be taken up this week is one result ing from the Interstate Commerce commissions efforts to compel Pres ident Milton H. Smith to answer questions regarding the Louisville & Nashville railroads political activi- ties and contributions. The case grew out of the senate resolution intro duced by Senator Lea of Tennessee providing for an investigation of that railroad. President Smith refused to answer questions, claiming the com- missions powers were purely statu- tory and that it could not enter into an investigation of such matters. The commission appealed to the supreme court for the District of Columbi for writ of mandamus which was granted. The railroad president then appealed the case to this court.
 The work of the supreme court this year will be frightened some by a law passed by congress last year which permits the court to determine whether 1t will allow appeals to be made. So far this year, about sixty applications to have cases reviewed have been received.

GERMAN CANCER
 HAS GOT TO BE CUT
Sayagery Will Not Stop Until
 Then, Colonel Roosevelt Says

Johnstown, Pa, Oct. l.-"Germany has reduced savagery to a science and this great war for the victorious peace of justice must go on until the Ger man cancer is cut clean out of the world body declared Theodore Roosevelt in an address he delivered here yesterday at the Workingmen's Red Cross Sunday celebration.
 There arc official records of more than 10000 separate atrocities com mitted by the German armies not sporadically," continued Colonel Roosevelt, but as a part of the de- liberate plan of 'schrecklichkeit' of horror upon which the German gov ernment has counted"
 Quoting from the recent state ments of the Rev Newell Dwight Hills, of Brooklyn, concerning Ger man outrages. Colonel Roosevelt added:
 'The conditions thus authoritative ly described by an unimpeachable witness should wake every man and woman in America to the need of try ing to help the tortured people of Belgium and France. Your commit tees here in Johnstown should get in touch with Dr. Hillis and follow his

advice as to how to proceed, and you should of course back up the Red Cross in every way.
 France and Belgium together with England have been fighting our battle as surely as they have been fighting their own. The Prussianized Ger many of the Hohenzollerns is seeking world dominion. It has shown ruth less treachery and brutality. It's course for three years have proved that it wants only the opportunity to strike down and plunder any power not able by military force to resist it's attacks In trying to save them selves France and England and poor little Belgium have saved us: for this wealthy and helplessly unprepared nation would have been an easy and most desirable victim for Germany if it had not been for the allied fleets and armies which for three years have stood between us and ruin.

last term. Rumors that owing to the war, action or them would be de- layed until after peace was declared were met by Chief Justice White or dering them re-argued at this ses- sion. The cases stand near the top of the docket and unless delays oc- cur, court officials expect the Har- vester and the anthracite trust cases to come up for consideration this month and the others shortly after wards. This will be the second time the steel and the shoe machinery cases have been argued and the third time for the Harvester and the an- thracite suits.
 The Harvester case was appealed to the supreme court from the Minneso- ta federal court which in 1914. or dered the dissolution of the company and it's subsidiary organizations, com bining $224, 100000 assets, as being in violation of the Sherman law. The government maintains that the mere combining of competitive traders, voluntary or otherwise into a "pre- ponderant or dominant position in an industry constitutes in itself viola tion of the antitrust laws. The de- fendants claim that a dissolution de- cree is not justified on the grounds of mere size and power contending furthermore that the so-called Har- vester trust is good" combination.
 The enormous size and power al- legged to be exercised in suppressing competition are the principal reasons upon which the dissolution of the United States Steel Corporation Is asked by the government. Suit was brought in the New Jersey federal district court in 1911 but was dis missed four years later by Judges Burlington, McPherson, Wooley and Hunt. who held that, although the corporation, was formed for the pur- pose of illegally monopolizing and re- straining trade, it has not been able alone to fix and maintain prices and is not an actual monopoly. The gov crnment at once appealed the case and it was argued in March, 1917.
 The proceeding in the. shoe ma chinerv case was instituted in the Massachusetts federal district court in 1911. but was dismissed after vol luminous testimony had been taken, the court sustaining the defendants on all grounds. This case also was argued before the supreme court in March, 1917, and later was ordered re-argued this term. The United Shoe Machinery company was or ganized in 1899, with capital stock of s25,OO6.0o0. The government al- leges that this cof1eern has monopo- lized the shoe machinery field and upon the decision in this case rests the future of the American shoe in- dustry.
