DEARTH OF DOCTORS
HITS HOSPITALS HERE
Stats Compelled to Do Double
Duty Because So Many Have
Gone Into War Work

Departure Of many physicians, nurses and
internes TO the western battle front In
Europe has greatly reduced the personnels
of Philadelphia hospitals. Every effort is
being made to remedy conditions so that
Philadelphia would not be helpless If sud
denly confronted with n disease epidemic
Superintendent Daniel d. Test, OF the
Pennsylvania Hospital, estimated today
that there was so per cent loss in medical
personnel in the Pennsylvania Hospital
"All who have remained" he said, "and
many outside who could spare the time
have given freely of their services to make
up for the men who are missing. 1t may be
that there will be additional losses during
the war, but If so we will have to make the
best of IT, and all do even greater work,
for the hospital cannot be hampered."
Major ]. B. Carnett, chief surgeon OF
the University Hospital and director Of
the University Hospital unit. now awaiting
orders to sail for France, said: I'VE are
suffering from dearth of doctors at the
University Hospital, Just as they are else
where, but we expect to make that up by
intense work on the part Of those who re-
main. The specialists who have been ac-
customed to travelling to various points In
the East for consultation work on big cases
have given up this practice and are ap'
plying their time to the hospital"

GOVERNOR JOINS MAYOR SMITH
IN EFFORT TO CUT CITY'S QUOTA

many boards. and as a result the city's
population has been greatly expanded ana
its quota raised accordingly
Aside from this, many districts In the
city have not been given full credits Tor
the number Of men already In the service
Such credits would reduce quotas In dis-
tricts where enlisting has been brisk ana
in many instances virtually eliminate
them Governor Brumbaugh has promised
to rectify this error. and the Adtutant Gen.
erals activity would indicate that this is
to be done Immediately.
The necessity of revising the quotas Is
obvious, according to City Statistician Cat
tell Let us take a district containing
1000 eligibes." he says. Now, under the
seIective draft each man is subject to
service and takes his chance in the army
lottery, IL that rule applied to every dis
trict in the country nobody could voice
an objection, but 1t does not. For instance,
in Philadelphia we have districts having a
registration Of 1000, and out of that num-
ber 1000 are aliens and not subject 10
service Now, for the purpose OF illustra-
ton, let us assume that this district must
furnish 400 men for the army. II only
1000 men are eligible 1t means that each
man has one chance in five to be drawn
Now, in districts throughout the south and
other sections where there are rev aliens
a young man has one chance IN ten. Tor
virtually every man In the fooo registered
is subject to the draft
"In Philadelphia we have $1,000 aliens
who are registered, so one can understand
,yhy philadelphia must send a bigger per-
centase of it's youth to the front than scores
~ other cities. Couple that with the fact
that more than $4,000 of our aliens have
been counted twice and one can appreciate
the necessity Of having revision OF the
quotas"
