LONDON, May 9-Intense interest
in the crisis brought about by the let
ter of Gen Maurice is reflected i'll the
morning papers. They give much PRO
minence to the prospects of today's
doings in the Commons, and speculate
upon the probable outcome.
The opinion is general that if the
former Premier Asquith forces his
motion to have a select committee
investigate the charges Gen. Maurice
made against the government to a
division the government will obtain
a majority which some commentators
believe will be substantial.

oat and rye crops have this season

and the wheat likewise is so improved

MEDICAL MEN ARE
FINDING A WAY
WILL SUPPLY WAR WITH 1000
PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS

The American National Medical De-
tense is a new organization among the
physicians and surgeons of the coun-
try who are doing their utmost to
supply the 5000 doctors for the army
and the 1000 for the navy that have
been called for recently by the war de-
partment.
There is an Organization already
reaching over the whole country which
IS promoting plans for the securing
of this number of medical men for the
service. They must be secured from
men out of the draft age, as all those
have already been taken.
A button is being used to good effect.
All the men are being registered by
the medical defense society. regard
less OF age. A QUESTIONABLE is given to
those registering and it is filled out.
If man offers his services and is &C
cepted, a button so Indicating is
given. If he offers and is rejecter, like
wise a button is awarded showing
this. The medical man who has neither
of these buttons is slowly being put
in the Stacker class by the other
physicians of the country. Those who
express themselves as willing to go,
will be passed upon by the war depart
ment and will be taken as soon as they
can be used.
Dr. T. J. Macarthur heads the physi-
clans society for defense in this coun-
try and local physicians will handle
their portion of the draft in the best
