WHITMAN May
OPPOSE COLONEL
CRv Associated Press.l

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, July 10
Governor Whitman will remain a
candidate for denomination no mat
ter whether Colonel Roosevelt con-
sents to enter the primaries or not,
according to an announcement this
forenoon by William A. Orr, the
governors secretary.
What will Colonel Roosevelt's
answer be-?
This question was uppermost in
the minds Of delegations to the Re-
publican state convention as they
gathered today for the second days
session.
The bombshells thrown into the
politicians quarters late last night
by the announcement Of Attorney
General Merton E. Lewis, chief rival
Of Governor Whitman for the Re-
publican nomination for governor
that he would withdraw If the COL
onel would enter the primaries, and
the circulation of a round robin by
some Of the most influential strate-
gists Of the party requesting the
colonel to run, completely overshad-
owed the previously arranged pro-
gram Of the day. This called for
the adoption Of platform, and a
speech by former President William
H, Taft.

GOVERNMENT NAY
DRAFT MEDICAL
PROFESSION OF
UNITED STATES
Must Obtain Enough Doc
tors For The Rapidly
Growing Army
VOLUNTARY PLAN
ALSO SUGGESTED
Doctors To Be Enrolled
And Sent Where They
Are Most Needed
CRv Associated Press.l


Washington, July 19.-The govern
rnent is about to assume control Of
the entire medical profession in the
United States to obtain sufficient
doctors for the fast growing army,
and at the same time to distribute
those remaining.
This mobilization is to be ac-
conlplished either by enrolling all
doctors in g. volunteer reserve corps
under pledge to accept whatever
service military or civilian is as
signed them by the governing body
Of the corps, or, If the voluntary
providing for drafting them into
government service. Medical Of
fcers OF the government believe
compulsory CONSUMPTION will not be
necessary. Organization plans for
the volunteer service corps already
have been made and enrolment
started in few states under auth
GRITTY of the council Of national de-
Tense, Instead Of enrolling in this
corps only those physicians not suit
able for military service either be-
cause Of age, physical inf1rmity,
dependency, or institutional or pub
lie need as planned at present, the
government is expected shortly to
doctors, and to bind them with
pledge during the present emery
ency- to accept service military or
civilian, wherever, whenever, and
for whatever duty they may be called
by the central governing board"
Under this projected plan, the
army and navy would take those
physicians and surgeons best fitted
for active duty. and who can be
spared from civilian requirements.
At the same time, the government
would maintain a continuous sur
vey Of the country and assign doc
tors to those communities in which
there are too few practitioners.
The practical operation, officials
believe would cause little of this re-
location, however, since physicians
who are needed in certain COM
munfties, hospitals. schools, or other
essential civilian services would not
be commissioned in the army.
OF the 148, 900 doctors in the Uni
ted States it is estimated between
$4,000 and $4,000 are in active prac-
tice,- and $4,000 or about one-fourth,
are in the army or navy. Nearly
$4,000 will be required eventually for
the army. The active practitioners
remaining, together with those who
have retired, but who can be per-
suaded to resume active work, must
carry on the health maintenance
work in this country.
ItHbecame Eaown today that Sur
geons General Gorgas Of the army,
BREASTED Of the navy, and Blue OF the
public health service, are consider
ing a plan for commissioning all
teachers in medical schools and as
signing them to their present duties.

Terrific Losses.

With the American Armies In
France, July 19.-The American
troops up to noon, just south of
scissors, had captured $500 prison
ers. Fifty cannon had been counted
and thousands Of machine guns.
Northwest Of Chateau Thierry the
Americans captured large numbers
Of prisoners and an equally large
amount OF munitions and stores, es-
pecially in the region of Scissors
and to the south Of the city. Light
and heavy pieces were moved up as
the troops advanced, and soon after
each barrage ended, shells from the
American guns were deluging the
enemy's rear areas, playing havoc
with his forces, whether those in re-
treat, or reserves endeavoring to
come UP.
It was open warfare, with all the
attending excitement, and through
the gaps made by heavy guns and in
fantry, the French cavalry dashed,
beating down those in their path,
Terrific losses were inflicted at all
points. on the enemy. The tanks did
all that was expected Of them. The
great numbering engines rolled along
in front Of the infantry, driving the
Germans before them with streams
of bullets and clearing away MANY
distractions that had escaped the
artillery.
The enemy early began to bring
up strong reinfoTcements. Fresh
troops have appeared at various
points and a heavy counter attack
VIII probably have to be withstood.
