PHYSICIANS Sought
FOR SERVICE IN ARMY
Hartford County Expected
to Furnish 20 More
Doctors.

Wanted: Twenty Hartford county
physicians to step forward and volun-
teer in Uncle Sans army medical
corps.
At meeting of the Hartford Coun-
ty Committee Of the Auxiliary Council
on Medical Defense held yesterday af-
ternoon it was announced that the
quota of physicians for this county
has been set by the war department
at 81. Seventeen physicians have al
ready been commissioned, leaving an
opening for 20 more.
Dr. Henry T. Bray and DR.. T. E.
Reeks of this city are members of the
Hartford County Committee of" the
Auxiliary Council on Medical defense.
In addition to this Drs. Bray and
Reeks have been appointed to the
committee which will have charge Of
all sanitation and hygiene in New
Britain during the war.
Young physicians are advised by
the committee to take advantage of
the'opportunities now before them for
volunteering in the medical corps Of
the United States army and national
guard. 1t is pointed out that the
conscription age for physicians Is
higher than that of ordinary men. Any
doctor may be drafted into the medi-
cal corps, who is under SIS years OF
age.
Two physicians from this vicinity
have already offered their services
and have been accepted by the gov
ernment. They are DR.. J. F. Faulk-
ner of this city, who saw service in
France with the British and French
armies before starting to practice
here, and DR.. Matthew Griswold of
Berlin.
Medical men are not exempt from
service on account of dependents. This
is a point in the law brought out at
the meeting of the physicians IN
Hartford last night. They may pe
drafted the same as other men ana
nlaced in the ranks Of the new nation
al army where their medical services
will not be of avail. Rather than
have this condition obtain the HART
ford County committee urges all young
doctors to apply for commission
which, if gotten. will pay them sz'oVo
a. wear as first lieutenants and S2'4oo
as CAPTAINS The chances or promo
tion are said to be excellent. Ihere
is also an expense allowance winch
goes with each commission.

FINLAND IS firm
FOR INDEPENDENCE
Adoption Of Bill May Brew
Trouble With Petrograd
RUSSlA'S GRIP CAST OFF
Diet, by Overwhelming Majority, De-
cides in Favor of Urgency Of Meas
ure-Senate Tenders Resignation,
Which Is Not Accepted.

Helsingfors, Thursday, July ia
conflict with Russia is regarded as in
evita BILE because of the action of the
Finnish diet in adopting bill grant,
ing independence to Finland. The
socialist members Of parliament as
sert. however, that Petrograd has it's
hands too full with it's own trouble
to attempt repression.
Before the bill was adopted de-
cision was taken on the question
whether the measure should be treat
ed as urgent or postponed until the
next session. The decision in favor
Of urgency required a f1ve-sixth ma
jority under Article 60 Of the con-
stitution which the socialist majority
had agreed to respect. The decision
involved the immediate voting on the
bill, the result giving a two-thirds
majority necessary for the alteration
of fundamental laws.
The announcement of the vote was
received by prolonged cheering and
cries Of ''long live Finland end Rus
sian connection The Diet theeraf-
ter rejected, 1O4 against 81, pro-
posal by M. Talas, member of the
young Finnish party, that the law, as
prescribed by the constitution, be
submitted for Russia's approval or
veto.
A final vote was taken on a reso-
luton of M. oHornbeerg, member of
Swedish party, the import of which
was that the Diet reserve the right
to break the last bonds with Russia.
The Hornberg resolution was defeated
chiefly by the vote of the socialists
Themselves who stand for this policy,
but object to following the initiative
of the non-socialist parties.
After the vote on the bill the SEN
ate prepared a statement to be read
by Premier Tokoi announcing it's res
ignation. The motive was that the
senate was appointed by the Russian
itor Of the grand duke Of Finland's S
prerogatives. but as the provisional
governm ent's power in Finland was
now abolished the senate lost local
standing. 1t would remain in power
only until the Diet appointed a new
senate.
The president of the Diet refused to
accept the statement on the ground
that 1t was out of order. The state
ment will be made later. The general
expectation is that M. Tokoi was ap-
pointed by the Diet with a cabinet
consisting of representatives Of the
parties, pro rate as heretofore.
AS the Diet dispersed there was a
patriotic demonstration in the streets.
M. Toko1 expressed his satisfaction at
the Diets coup d'etat. 1--WE may be
sure of Finland's independence guar
antee for all time.:'

FIRST CALL FOR DRAFTED
MEN COMING IN TEN DAY
ASK FOR EXEMPTION.

AS early as today, persons be-
gan to call at the office Of the
mayor in City hall, to file ap-
plications for exemption from
the war draft. Numerous rea-
sons were advanced to the may
or, who informed his callers
that It was a matter for the
exemption board and not he, to
grant their requests. One par
ticular sad sight was witnessed
by callers in the office, when q
young man of foreign extrac-
ton informed the mayor that
he was the sole support of his
widowed mother and four
brothers.
