The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-02-28

the surgeon general requested that the doctors of the country volunteer in large numbers said Dr. Harrison, "and from every section of the union the medical men volunteered in such numbers that it sha been truly said that the medical department is the only department of the government that has had more men than it could at any one time utilize.
 UNFORTUNATE CRITICISM There has been more or less unfortu- nate criticism at times that the doctors were not cheerfully giving their services. This has not been true. There are 5000 men today, to whom commissions have been issued and who are now awaiting assignments to duty. However, we may say that the government will need many thousands more to properly equip the men in the next draft. Birmingham has furnished more than the average of other cities it's size.
 "Fifty-four members of the Jefferson County Medical society have donned the uniform and are now in the government service. In addition there are five who have received commissions and are await ing orders for assignments to duty Ten other members of the Medical society ap- piled for commissions but were rejected by physical disabilities. In addition to these there are 20 physicians of this county, not members of the Jefferson Medical society, who are now serving the government There are r physicians not members of the society, who offered their services and were not accepted This makes total of 106 men from this county who have placed their lives at the service of the government and of this number 79 have been accepted. There are many others ready to go when the need Is urgent and defipite, and while we honor them, as those who have chosen the better part, those of us who remain at home must seek every occas- ion to do our part and may it be said of us-They have done what they could'"
