Had ley of the Signal corps.
 What is likely to happen if we fail to win this war was the significant question put to President Hadley at the outset.
 "A series of wars" was his prompt reply, 'fbegun without notice and wag- ed with much disregard for the rights of non-combatants."
 When asked for his grounds for this opinion he continued, Because lead ing men in Germany believe that war is a good thing for their country and for the world and should be conducted without scruple when the interests of Germany seem to require it."

State Division Passes Resolution Urg-
 ing Changes in Laws.

The Connecticut Division, woman's Committee, Council of National De- fense, has approved "a resolution con- corning the medical work of women during the war, prepared by the Medical Women's National Associa- tion. The text of the resolution fol- lows:
 Whereas The exigencies of the Eu- ropean war have taxed the medical resources of the countries involved to the point where medical men serving with the troops and in base hospitals are physically exhausted and
 Whereas, There is immediate and urgent need of the services of Ameri- can physicians and surgeons to af- ford relief to the medical men abroad; and
 Whereas, The National Army now in process of formation in the United States will require physicians and sur geans in greater numbers than the medical corps of the army augmented by the medical reserve officers corps can supply; and
 Whereas. There are in the United States between five and six thousa nd women physicians regularly gra duat- ed and fully capable of renderin~ ser vice in this country as well as abroad as anesthetfStS. radiographer hospi- tai and laboratory directors, and also as surgeons. more than 10 per cent of whom are willing and anxious to serve: and
 w HSiSdS. 4HSIe IS no pTOV1SlOn CT law or regulations providing for such service of medical women. except in the capacity of nurse under the Red Cross organization: therefore
 Be it resolved, That the Woman's Committee, Council of National De- fense, Connecticut Division, recog- nizing the urgency of the demand and the injustice to the women physicians urges upon the war department and congress to enact such laws and pre- scribe such regulations as will permit of the service of the women physi- clans of the country being utilized to the fullest extent. both in this coun- thy and abroad. during the present war, with equal opportunity with medical men for service as members of the staff of division and base hos pita1s and others, and with appropri- ate official rank or designation and pay.
