MORE PHYSICIANS ARE NEEDED BY
 AMERICAN ARMY

Dr. Franklin Martin. chairman of the General Medical Board of the Council of Defense, has issued the following statement:
 Increase in the number of calls to active duty of the members of the Medical Reserve Corps indicates need of enrolling physicians as new mem bers, and the General Medical Board of the Council of National Defense is cooperating with the surgeon gen. erals office in sending a new ap- peal to the medical profession.
 There were (March D 144,s69 physicians in the 4s states and Dis trict of Columbia. The surgeon generals report for March p gives total of 1s,13s officers in the medical Reserve Corps, and of these 14,911 are on active duty. Weekly reports indicate that the officers are being called to active duty in greater number than they are being admitted to the Reserve Corps.
 While the declaration of war dem- onstrated that there would be great need for physicians, the General Medical Board of the Council of Ma tional Defense began to secure data regarding physicians throughout the country. In all, 22309 doctors have been recommended by the surgeon general for commissions in the Medi- cal Reserve Corps-15 per cent of the doctors of the country.
 In addition to the members ot the Medical Reserve Corps who are

RED CROSS MEN
 ARE ON FRONT
 LINE OF BATTLE

The War Council of the American Red Cross announces the receipt from France of the following infor- nation:
 At the request of the United States army the American Red Gross has just arranged to install with all American troops now engaged in actually fighting the Germans special front-line service. This is a development of the front line can- teens, through which the American Red Cross during the past six months served more than 100000 French poilus with hot drinks and, above all else. a friendly boost right up or near the trenches themselves"
 To-day the Red Cross has 5 roll ing canteens behind the lines. From these canteens are sent forward daily. often in the small hours of the night, 50 or more large recep- tacles containin hot drinks. These are served free to the men going on or just coming off duty. The wcrk has proved itself to be of such value to the French that the American army has asked the Red Cross 10 have this service directly in touch with the medical relief stations near est the front. The work is often done under heavy shell fire and re- quires men of great bravery and sympathy. Eugene Hale, brother of Senator Hale. fi1,shing six rnonths without vacation with rolling can teen near Verdun, served thousands of French troops, gained great conl- mendation from French generals who noted the chacter of his work. Re turning to Paris recently, just be- for leaving for America, Mr. Hale says:
 While the men are glad to have hot drinks, their chief satisfaction consists in the sense this service gives them and cheering wore at a critical or a tired hour
 American army officers arc mani testing keen interest in havlng the service at the disposal of tie Ameri- can troops and the Red Cross plans to enlist in France and in America a substantial number of men O: the higest caliber to undertake this won- derful service It will bc performed at the point nearest to the lighting line at which civilians will b. per mitted to be in any contact with the men,

obliged to leave the service. So the margin is constantly being drawn upon, and the need of new members is indicated. as the surgeon general and the Council of National Defense are desirous of having a safe margin maintained at all times.
 Physicians who enroll are advised and urged not to relinquish their practice until informed by the sur geon generals office that they are soon to be called to active service It has been the policy of the sur geon generals office to allow Is days, in order that a physician may adjust his affairs, between the time that he receives his orders and the date on which he will be expected to report.
 In order to aquaint the medical profession with the great need of physicians and surgeons for work in connection with the war repre- sentatives are being sent to various parts of the country, and will con- tinue to be sent as needed. These representatives are addressing meet ings of the doctors called by their state committees, who are cooper ating with Washington.

OVER A MILLION
 DOLLARS IN FOOD CONTROL COSTS

The itemized accounts of the Food administration filed with the senate and house recently, show that the total disbursements out of the con- gressional appropriation for the month of February are S14s,6Ss.55 on account of the Food administra- ton. They also show that, out of the s50.000.0O0 invested by the United States in the Grain corpora ton, for the purchase and sale of wheat flour, beans, etc. for the Allies and the Government, and others. $105,92275 went for general expenses. and s137,749.s6 for stor- age and insurance These expenses, however, are covered by the Grain corporation on the small differen- tial charged between purchase and sale, so that the Government loses nothing in this operation.
 The total disbursements of the Food administration, since its foun- dation on August 10, 1917, to Feb ruary 2s, has been, for salaries and expenses under the congressional ap- propriation, S659, ,62416. .:.
 The total disbursements on the conservation campaign provided by the President out of the presidential funds show s743,6O5.13 since the 10th of August when the food act was passed, and s294,1Os.15 prior to that date.
 The total disbursements of the Food administration outside of the s5O,000.000 invested in the Grain corporation has, therefore, been s1,697.337.41
 The above includes federal ex- penses of the 4s different state ad- ministrators, the District of Colum- bia, Alaska, Hawaii, and Porto Rico. and some 5000 city and county administrators.
 The Food administration has approxi- mately 5000 volunteers, giving the majority of their time to the work and approximately 2,340 paid off cials. The expenditure, therefore, up to date, amounts to less than
 s320 per person actively at work for the Food administration.
