PATRIOTIC DOCTORS AND
DOCTORS.

Soldiers, sailors and their fami-
lies are not to be preyed upon by
unscrupulous lawyers. The lawyers
themselves are going to see to that
, by depriving the less honorable
members Of their profession OF all
opportunity and temptation.
Following the suggestion Of Sec
retary McAdoo, the lawyers in va
rous communities are forming war
service boards for the purpose OF
wiving free legal service to the ma
tons fighting men and their de-
pendents. These boards work un-
der the auspices of local bar asso-
Citations. and in cooperation with
the draft boards and the Red Cross.
Any man in the military age, or
about to be drafted, or the family of
any such man. may ask for legal ad-
vice and aid in the assurance that it
will be cheerfully furnished, with
out cost and without any imputa-
ton OF charity The lawyers will be
doing that work as war contribu-
ton.
In some cities bar associations
are using the selective service meth
Cd in choosing men for this gratui-
tious work. 1t is assumed that they
will do it as matter of couSe, un-
less they have notified the board of
some good reason why they cannot
serve.
This professional generosity Is
one OF the finest Developments OF
the war. 1t is on par with the
conduct of the medical profession,
which in many communities has ar
ranged that any doctor in military
service shall have his patients cared
for by his fellow physicians with the
explicit understanding that they re-
main his, and that stated percent
age of fees received from them shall
be paid to him or his family.

Lose $4,000 Transformer

The California-oregon Power Co.
lost one OF their $4,000 transform
ers and also the transformer house
at the Gold Ray plant Wednesday
morning. the same having burned up
about 3 a. m. They had been work
ing on the transformer for some
time and had 1t about ready to put
into service again with the exception
OF drying out the oil. This was be-
ing accomplished with the aid OF an
electric forge which was under tho
transformer boiling the oil. The
parts OF the transformer that were
not being heated we're hanging from
a crane in the transformer house
and we're covered with canvas and
evidently the fumes from the boil
ing oil were ignited by n short cir
cult some place In the building.
causing the building to catch fire
and completely burn up together
with the transformer parts.--Med-

CAN FOOD SUPPLY GRANT
ANOTHER YEAR OF WAR
Problem Is Being Debated in the
German Newspapers With Signs
Of Apprehension.

AMSTERDAM. October (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
Whether 4he German food supply is
sufficient to last for another year of
war is being debated in German
newspapers with. signs of apprehen-
SION. 'Ca1culations warrant the be-
lief that we can hold out provided
the most stringent measures are
taken to regulate clandestine traalc
in food" says the Cologne volks-
zeitung. It's estimate is based on
figures showing the German food
supply collected by Stegerwa1d, a
member Of the Prussian diet.
"Neverthsiess" adds the paper,
have Siegfried position also at
home" The Significance Of this lies
in the fact that the. Siegfrted posi-
ton on the western front went down
before allied attacks.
After endeavoring to bolster up the
waning confidence of the Germans,
the VolksIeitung says:
Meat distribution must be further
curtailed. Cattle have decreased g.
900, ,09e head compared with last
year, while the number OF pigs has
been very seriously reduced. Meat
less days must be maintained, and
consumption Of game and poultry
placed under much more severe con-
troll Measures must be devised
whereby all classes will be treated
alike, and clandestine slaughter be
ruthlessly suppressed
THE Ukraine remains doubtful
factor, and from Rumania next year
only corn is expectable. but both
countIies are able to export diNer-

SHARKS AND SEA GULLS
FOLLOW U-BOAT WAKE
Watch and Wait for Food Likely
to Come From Merchant YES
sells Destroyed by the Huns.

ON BOARD AN AMERICAN DE-
STROYER IN FRENCH WATERS, Oc-
tober 10 Correspondence Of the Asso-
ciated Press).-Sharks and sea gul1s,
the scavengers of the sea, have learned
to follow in the wake of the sub
marines and watch and wait for the
food likely to come from the wreck
age of merchant vessels destroyed by
the German sea wolves. This fact has
been observed by the commanders of
American destroyers and is used as a
clue to hunt down the Hun at sea.
The presence Of schools of sharks
and iocks of sea gulls puts the men Of
the American deStroyers on the tip
toe of expectation when they are hunt
ing for a periscope in the path of
American transports. One commander
returning to port the other day said:
I'VE saw a good many sharks and
flocks Of sea gulls, and these, you
know, are a pretty good sign of sub
marines.
After several years of sinkings by
submarines the sharks and sea fowl
have formed the habit of following in
the wake of submarines, knowing that
food is likely to come from the wreck
age. Whether 1t is cargo thrown over
board from the freighter or wreckage
thrown UP from the torpedo explosion
makesTno difference; the appearance of
sharks and birds usually means that
there are submarines around"

Memory Trees.
o the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Would it not be a gracious thing
to memorize our fallen heroes by
planting a tree with a bronze marker
bearing the name of a soldier whp has
died? Let the trees be planted in the
different parts of the city. where the
boys have resided. The flag floating
from the Business High School has
four golden stars. Many I'D trees,
surface growers, that force the pave
naents into waves. endangeriag life
and limb at night Example, G street
between Sth and II southeast), the
flying maple, the sycamore, whose
dust-laden leaves and pollen balls seek
every nook and crannfe of our gar
dens and homes, Should be eliminated
and trees substituted that would have
some value to the housewife, to pay
for the energy expended in the con-
tinual riddance of the present crop?
These trees occupy space. draw from
the soil, require time and money in
spraying and trimming. for what pur-
pose? They give shade for two months
in the year. July and August. for the
rest of the year, with our Washington
climate, We are only too glad to have
the sunshine in our homes Now, let
us substitute black walnut trees. They
would have food value, and the more
nuts boy ate the less bread. A friend
was telling me of a town below Rich
mond with streets planted with hum
dreds Of walnut trees many years ago;
they have never been injured, in fact,
every one has an ownership in caring
for them, and 1t 10 a common sight to
see women, men and children. after a
windy night. with their bags gathering
the nuts. The city forestry department
Of Cleveland has adopted this plan Tor
