G. W. u. ABAND0NS PLAN
TO SPEED UP GRADUATION
Bows to Opinions of American Medi-
cal Association and Council
of National Defense.

Plans of George Washington univer-
sity to respond to the call of the medi-
cal board of the council of national de-
Tense for doctors by speeding up the
graduation of juniors in the medical
school have been frustrated by the
American Medical Association, of which
George Washington is a member.
The medical school authorities had
contemplated the holding of summer
sessions that would enable juniors to
complete their courses about half year
in advance of schedule, and thus supply
the medical arm of the government
with additional doctors and surgeons.
The American Medical Association
strongly opposes the speeding-up plan,
because of the possibility of inefficient
teaching and lack of adequate expert
ence in inferno work. The medical
board of the council of national defense
has seen the wisdom in the opposition
of the association, and has announced
that after careful consideration it adj
vises all medical schools to abandon the
speeding-up plans of continuous ses
sions as being undesirable and I'M
necessary"

NO GENERAL INCREASE

The. Giant In Arms

Our Uncle Sam goes forth to
scrap, and shoe the kaiser off the
map. The things for which most
nations fight don't seem impor-
tant in, his sight. He does not
lust for new domains, or yearn to
leave foe in chains. He does not
load his raosern guns and shoot
shelf hardware, tons on tons, be-
cause he's spelling for fight, for
peace was ever his delight. Upon
his brow there is a shade, as he
draws forth his trusty blade, for
we'll he knows the awful cost,
lives sacrificed and treasure lost.
So there's a shade on Uncle's
brow, but if he waged no warfare
now the good old flag that we
adore would be a Jest on every
shore. Americans now on the
earth, Americans of future birth,
would blush to own their coun-
try.s name, and sink beneath her
caitiff fame. All useless is the
flag that flies dishonored in a peo-
pies eyes, and if we loved our
peace SO much no insults, injuries,
could touch our hearts and stir
them up to wrath, the flag is but
strip of cloth. So Uncle Sam
goes forth to war, and knows Just
what he's fighting for: the honor
he has always priced and all
things good and civilized.

SOUTHEAST CITIZENS ASK
NEW BRIDGE FOR AVENUE
Randle Highlands Association Moves
for Better and Safer Traffic Fa-
cilities-Indorses Home Guard.

Declaring the present Pennsylvania
Avenue bridge is entirely inadequate
for present needs and because of its
narrowness accidents occur frequently.
members of the Randle Highlands Citi
Zens' Association last night voted to
make a determined effort to obtain
new bridge, and also, until such a
change is made, to ask that certain
rules be promulgated that will tend to
reduce the number of accidents.
S. E. Snyder, president of the asso-
citation. stated that during the past two
years six persons have been killed
either on this bridge or its approaches.
and In practically every case the ac-
cident was cuased by the narrowness
of the bridge. In order to eliminate as
fas as possible a continuation of these
accidents. C. A. Barker presented
resolution asking that a speed limit or
not more than ten miles an hour on the
bridge and approaches be adopted, and
that large signs indicating this rule be
placed in conspicuous places; also that
all vehicles crossing the bridge be re-
CURED to carry lights during the entire
night, one at the front and another at
the rear. Stricter police protection also
is asked in the resolution.
Home Defense League Endorsed.
Unanimous Endorsement was given to
the movement to organize a home de-
Tense league in the District. and every
member present indicated that he
would Join. Each member received
and a special meeting will be called
n prh ~
plications will be gathered and for
warded to the proper authorities.
Because almost every resident of the
suburb is cultivating an individual gar
den. The community garden idea, which
has been under consideration for some
time, was abandoned. However, the as
ISOLATION has purchased a large guam
tlty of plants at wholesale, and these
viii be received the first of next week.
when meeting will be called and dis
tribution of these plants made.
Improvements Promised.
Letters from the Commissioners in
Dictated that several Improvements
would be made in the near future. The
East Washington Heights Traction
Railway Company will be required to
fill in between it's tracks to bring this
space on the same grade with the
street. The alley in Park place. east
of ed street. and the alleys just west
of 25th street will be improved.
Twenty -fifth street will be graded and
Park place regraveled.
The authorities stated it was not con-
sIdered advisable at this time to raise
the grade of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween Broad Branch avenue and Bowen
road. as this would decrease the value
of the abutting property and also that
the present grade was the established
one. Improvement will be made to
25th street from Naylor road to Park
place.
