ARKANSAS BEHIND IN ONE
 DEPARTMENT OF THE WAR
Has Supplied a Smaller Percentage of Doctors Than Any Other State
 Interesting Facts.

A recent number of the Journal of the American Medical Association gives much interesting data, both to the medical profession and the puh- lie, on the demand in the army for physicians and surgeons, as we'll as to the standing of the different states and the several counties of each in supplying such demands.
 In this field of war activity, Arkan- sas stands at the very bottom of the list, with but 7-8 per cent of its phy- sicians holding commissions in the army, while Oklahoma has Al per cent, Louisiana 13.-9, Texas, 12.6 and Missouri, Ills. Among the honor roll states are Arizona with g per cent of it's doctors in the service; Nevada with 204, Nebraska 19.9, and the lowest except Arkansas, is Wyoming with 9.4.
 According to the figures given, Ar kansas has 2,587 physicians, of which 1282 are under 45 years of age and 1S49 under 55 years.
 Coming down to Polk county, 1t is shown that there are 28 men phy- sicians and one woman, with II under 45 and IS under 55 years, and 8 are members of the local medical society, and but one in the service.
 Dr. T. Nj. Fletcher, to whose cour- tesy The Star owes the information given, states that it is generally un- derstood that none but graduates of accredited medical institutions will be accepted for army service, and he believes at an early date all such now pTaeticing in Polk county who are physically able, will be called to go, and that one way or another. Arkan- sas will be called upon to furnish her fair quota of medical aid for the fighting forces.

AWFUL FATE OF HUN SUB
 CREW SUNK BY MINE.
Fought for Hour Under Water to Escape Only to Die-Lungs Burst
 As Came to Surface.

London, June 18.-Harrowing de- tails of the destruction of one of the largest and more recently constructed German submarines are given in a dispatch from neutral correspond ent The submarine was one of the last to leave Zeebrugge before the entrance to the harbor was blocked by British forces on April 24.
 The U-boat struck a mine and, out of the crew of 40, but two survived on reaching the surface after ter rible struggle with death for an hour and half, twenty fathoms below the surface Some of the crew suicided, having lost all hope of leaving the boat alive.
 The only chance of escaping was to force open the coming tower and the forward matches and trust to the compression of airsin one part of the vessel to force each man, like a tor pedo to the surface. The air pres sure in the submarine had become so high that a great. majority of the Germans could not keep their mouths closed.
 The compressed air shot them to the surface and hardly had they reached sea level when the pressure burst their lungs and about twenty of them sank like stones. The sur yiyors describe the yells of the men, when the end came as the most hor- rible noise they had ever heard. The attention of a British trawler was attracted and it hastened to the res cue. The condition of the survivors showed their experience in the sub marine had been ia dreadful char acter.
