MEDICAL CONSCRIPTION
GROWING IN FAVOR.
Other States Approve North Cardinals
Move Last Word to Doctors.

Other States Approve North Car0lina's
Move Last Word to Doctors.
DR.. j. w. Long of Greensboro is
empEatieally il favor of medical con
scription as a means OF getting suf1-
cient medical men for the army. The
resolution recently. passed by the
North Carolina State Committee on
National Defense, Medical Section,
favoring the CONSUMPTION OF doctors
for the army, has received commenda-
ton from other state committees and
an effort i sbeing made to soon have
this matter ready to present to N
gress.
AS a Major Of the Medical Reserve
Corps of the United States Army, DIR.
Long says:
W. officers of the Reserve Corps,
ask you to join it, because we balieye
that every doctor should otter to
serve; should do this now, and with
out reservation. The medical milf
tary authorities must decide how,
when, and where we shall serve We
trust them to use us wisely and with
as much consideration for home In
terests as for the needs of the army,
knowing that any duty to winch we
may lie called is an essentiaIpart of
adequate preparation which insures
efficient action. We believe that the
doctor who bears no added burden
during this war and becomes richer
cause of it brings no credit to his
country, his profession, or to him
self"
The Medical 0mcers' Reserve Corps
is open to all doctorsaunder tifty-aYe
years of age who are physically a. j
mentally qualified for service. AppIi-
cations for membership-ca be made
to the local examining boards now in
session in all of the large cities and
towns, or to the nearest medical ex-
aminer.
Accepted applicants are commits
stoned by President of the Uuited
States, with the entering rank Of FIRST
Lieutenant in the Regular army
Corps, and if called to active d1rty.a1e
paid $4,000 a year. Those whoa are
rejected have given proof Of their pa
triotism.

ual standardization.
Tt is interesting to note that during
the Revolution the flag had Ii stars;
in the War of 1872, Is; in the Mexican
war, %; in the Civil war, So; in the
Spanish-American war, 45, and today
4S. The American flag is among the
oldest of national flags, being older
than the present British union jack,
the French tri-color and the flag of
Spain, and many ~years-elder than the
flags of Germany and Italy, some of
which, like those of other countries,
are personal flags, or those Of reign
ing families.
There are no early colonial flags,
such as were used by the individual
colonies and militia regiments before
the flag of the United States was
established by congress in 1777, on
June IA, now celebrated as Flag day.
This act requires ~that the flag of the
United States be 13 stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be ID

SPIRIT OF UNREST IN KAIsEsDOM

THE EMPIRES COAT
Accused With Zimmerman Of Not
Playing Fair With United States in
Many Ways.

Amsterdam, July 1.-THE disap-
pointmetn Of the Liberals and other
junkers in the coup of e~leVating DR..
Michaelis to the Chancellorship led to
the belief in some quarters today that
a military dictatorship may be c
sary for Germany
The democratic sentiment has been
solidified as a result of the strong
hand shown by the war party. Mich
aelis has begun holding a series Of
conferences witt party leaders in pre-
paration for~his maiden speech before
the Reichstag Thursday.
The German newspapers have been
commenting prominently and often in
uncomp1imentary manner on HoIl-
weg,s treatment of relations with
America. The Vossische Zeitung
openly accused the retired Chancellor
his foreign secretary, DR.. Zimmerman,
of having played a double game at
Washington, making war inevitable by
: attempts to deceive and mislead Presi-
lent Wilson in regard to policy and in
tentions Of Germany.
The Vorwaerts says: Eve must get
away from the ambiguity and lack of
clarity which have given Germany's
foreign policy the reputation Of dis
honesty

Gives New Rules of Lie.
(By International News Servica.J
Philadelphia, Pa, July 17.-John
Wanamaker, the great merchant, took
occasion of, his seventy-ninth birth
day to declare a business man has
never reached full success until he
has learned there are other compensa-
tons in life than money.
Here are some other bits of advice
Mr.. Wanamaker handed around to
callers:
"It is a great thing to show people
how to work and teach them to love
it."
more people have blind minds
about business than there are people
with blind eyes"
There is no better school for learn
ing the world, its people, customs and
financial methods than the mercan-
tile"
"To give the people greater conven-
fences and actual satisfaction has been
my business motto for half a century
Patron first merchant afterward,
is another one"
"When people get down to the fact
that principles are essential for safe
foundations they will not justify prae-
tees that consider only the ways that
yield the quickest and largest returns
in dollars and cents"
"What of the times and business
conditions, Mr.. Wanamaker? he was
asked.
There is no need to be concerned
about thetimes and general business
if manufacturers and storekeepers
will stop nursing forebodings and
raising ALARMS"
