DR.. Charles P. Emerson of Indianap-
Oils, member of the Indiana State
Council of Defense, in Richmond Mon
day said the remarkable stories of high
mortality among doctors at the front
are typical Pro-German absurdities,
enc of the many yarns that Ameri-
cans must guard against.
DIR. Emerson was in Richmond Mon

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-11-27

He urges doctors to go ON with their
ordinary business until ordered to re-
port At the present time no doctors
will be called to report before Jan
uary 1, and every doctor will be given
at the very least two weeks notice
before he must report. This applies
to doctors that have already received
commissions and are waiting to be
called.

and the other armies have lost In the
same ratio, he said.
DIR. Emerson also stated this Boche
bosh did not deter Indiana doctors
from responding to the call for doctors
in the United States army although
that was evidently the purpose
The Governments first call was for
$4,000 doctors and $4,000 responded; ;;

$1,000 Of these passed the examina-
ton and 14,0o0 of those that passed
the examination are already in uni
form. A few weeks ago another call
was made for 5000 more doctors, and,
according to DR.. Emerson, Indiana will
exceed her quota of doctors as the
physicians are showing their patriotic
spirit by responding readily.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-11-27

Dr.. Emerson called attention to the
fact that many physicians who have
accepted commissions for military
duty have made the mistake OF sell
ing their practices, their autos, break
ing up their households Immediately
Oh accepting their commissions, later
finding that they must wait several
weeks or months before being called to
report for service.
