APPEAL IS MADE
To PHYSICIANS
General Medical Board Of Council of
National Defense Asks Them
to Enroll for
Service.
FIFTEEN PER CENT IN
Doctors Are Urged to Enroll, But Not
to Give up Their Practice
Until Actually
Called.
FIFTEEN PER CENT IN

DR.. Franklin Martin, chairman of
the general medical board Of the
council of national defense, has is
sued the following statement:
Increase in the number of calls to
active duty of the members in the
medical reserve corps indicates need
Of enrolling physicians as new men,
bers. and the general medical board
of the council of national defense is
cooperating with the surgeon gener-
ais Office in sending new appeal to
the medical profession.
There were March y 144,S69 ply
sicians in the forty-eight states and
District Of Columbia. The surgeon
generals report for March % gives a
total of 1898 officers in the medical
reserve corps, and of these 14,9l1
are on active duty Weekly reports
indicate that the officers are being
called to active duty in greater num-
bers than they are being admitted to
the reserve corps.
22,30e Recommended.
When the declaration OF war dem
onstrated that there would be great
need for physicians. the general med
ical board of the council of national
uClCISS US6du " ScCuIS OdId IcSdtu-
ing physicians throughout the coun-
try. In all, 22,309 doctors have been
recommended by the surgeon general
TO the adjutant generals office for
commissions in the medical reserve
corps-15 per cent of the doctors OF
the country.
In addition to the members OF the
medical reserve corps who are call
ed to active duty, others for various
reasons-illness, accident, or other
unforeseen conttngency-are obliged
to leave the service. So the margin
is constantly being drawn upon, and
the need Of new members Is indicat-
ed, as the surgeon general and the
council Of national defense are de-
sirous Of having safe margin main
tanned at all times.
Should Not ReIinquIsh Practice.
Physicians who enroll are advised
and urged not to relinquish their
practice until informed by the surg
con generals office that they are
soon to be called to active service.
1T has been the policy of the surg
con generals office to allow fifteen
days, in order that physician may
adjust his affairs, between the time
that he receives his orders and the
Gate on which he will be expected to
report.
In order to acquaint the medical
profession with the great need Of
physicians and surgeons for work in
connection with the war, representa-
tives are being sent to various parts
Of the country. and will continue to
be sent as needed. These representa-
tives are addressing meetings Of the
doctors called by their state COM
mittees, who are cooperating with
Washington.

Paris, Feb. 2s.-After having been
taken out of the trenches because of
his stiff index finger, and fearing
that he would be invalided out of
the war entirely, Bob" Scanlon, the
American Negro prize fighter, who
has been in the French Foreign Lee
gion for nearly three years, recent
ly went to London and ordered the
surgeon of military hospital there
to chop" his finger Off
The surgeon demurred
Chop It off," demanded Scanlon.
Then, seeing the doubtful look In
the surgeons eyes, Scanlon added
quickly:
ooh, I'm no Stacker. don't want
that finger Off so can't pull a trig-
ger again. My middle fingers still
good and they won't have me around

THE NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH
WEEK TO be OBSERVED
APRIL 21ST TO 18TH,

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Mar. o.
Doctor Robert R. Motion, Prin
cipal Of the Tuskegee Institute ant
Chairman of the Executive Commit
tee of the National Negro Business
League, announced today that MA
TIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK
would be observed April 21st to 9th
He has received kilograms from MI
Emmett j. Scott, Secretary Of the
National Negro Business League,
and from Mr.. ]. c. Napier, Presi
dent, In which they give their un
qualified assurance that they will
help in every way possible to make
the campaign success.
DR.. Notion has also received q
communication from Mr.. Allen W.
Clark, Chairman of the National
Cleanup and Paint-up Bureau, st.
Louis, Mo-, in which he states that
the three silver cups which were
given last year for the most efficient
cleanup work will be offered again
this year. 1t may be recalled that
last year, the three silver cups were
awarded to Atlanta, Georgia. Sails
bury, North Carolina, and New Ma
drid, Missouri, and were presented
to representatives from these states
at Chattanooga. Tennessee, during
the annual meeting Of the League.
1t is hoped that members of the
race will again welcome the oppor.
tunity to unite their efforts in one
great and National Health Move
ment, and thus gain the benefit of
the momentum and enthusiasm that
will come from another effort of
this character.
AS the. late DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington said in the 1915 call, with
out health, and until we reduce the
high death-rate, 1t will be impossible
for us to have permanent success in
business. in property getting, in &C.
curing education, or to show other
evidences of progress. Without
health and long life all else fails.
We must reduce our high death.rate,
dethrone disease and enthrone
