the committee on medicine and san

Blanks for the use Of physicians and
surgeons throughout the country
have been prepared. and will shortly
be distributed to the local organiza-
tions of the Council of National De-
fense. for membership in the volun-
teer medical service corps. which was
fully described in this paper last
week. AS heretofore stated. the
corps has adopted an insignia which
will be worn by all its members. DT.
Franklin Martin, chairman Of the
committee on medicine and santa
ton of the Council of National De-
fense. has been instrumental in per-
fecting the organization, which is
controlled by central governing
board composed of the surgeons gem
eral OF the army, navy and public
health service and other prominent
officials and medical men. 1t is the
earnest desire OF the central govern
ing board that every doctor in the
country, man or woman. promptly
execute the blank prepared and send
it in to the board at the Council OF
National Defense in Washington at
once. The board will thus be enabled
to classify the members of the med
ical profession and to place doctors
where needed. either in some branch
of the military service or in civil
practice IL an assignment is deemed
necessary.

dents occurring at a distance from the
flying field hospitals and in localities
difficult to reach quickly with auto

FEW D. c. TEACHERS RESIGN
DESPITE CALL FOR CLERKS
Local Pedagogues Stick to Lobs, Though
Higher Salaries Offered in Government
Work; Some Return to Schools.

As yet very few designations have
been received by school authorities
from teachers II has been feared
that a great many would resign be-
cause CT the higher salaries paid
for war work.
They have three more weeks in
which to make up their minds" said
the secretary. We do not expect
that many will resign at the last
minute before school opens, but that
OF course is within the range OF
possibility"
Criticism of system
There has been some criticism,
IN view Of the possibility OF a short
age in teachers. Of the long and in
volved process that obtains from
the signing OF an application to the
acceptance OF position as a teach
er. The examinations for teachers
do not take place until late in the
fall and then those who receive the
highest average will be given posi-
tions.

This body spent and stained with sin .

BY EDWARD n. HURLEY.
Chairman of the United States Ship
ping Board.


Every American soldier going Jc
France these days may carry this
message TO the advancing front lines
of his fellow countrymen and their
allies-that the allied cry Of Ships
ships, and still more ships" is being
answered by the greatest output OF
ships in the history OF the world.
A year ago the C-boat was perhaps
the most effective weapon in the Ger
man repertory. Today its power for
evil has been greatly Iessened.
Hun U-Bonts Are Fought.
The allies have made their fight
against the U-bosts along these three
outstanding lines:
They have developed a successful
offensive campaign against them
have sunk, TO date, a considerable
part of the German undersea fleet.
They have perfected an imPenetra BILE
defense OF conveying vessels.
They have increased the production
Of ships materially over the destrUc-
ton OF them.
So that today France and England,
instead of being starved into sub
mission, as the Germans planned to
do, are assured of a constant move
ment of supplies to them from this
country. Ships from American ship
yards. in rapidly increasing numbers,
maintain an unbroken line OF com
munications for our own expanding
army in France. Less and less the
submarine becomes a determining
factor in the war.
Showing clearly the comparison
the submarine makes with the
American shipyard, here are some

The appearance of the war revenue
bill yesterday means that both in
dividuals and business concerns Of
the country will take some time to
study II and to see how It comports
with their ideas OF taxation.
At the outset we must warn the
people that 1t probably will not meet
their ideas as other revenue bills
have done. II Is too drastc-if that
is what we should call it-but this
should not drive US ayay from the
main thought. Our present condi-
ton requires drastic legislation. We
are not In need of peace revenue
bill but a war revenue bill. War
takes money-lots of it-and the peo-
pie must, pay. We have been hold
ing our dollars largely in reserve
now We must let them out onto the
firing line. Our ideas OF peace lesis-
lation in financial lines must be put
aside-war Is what we must think
of day and night until we win de-
cisively and conclusively We can
resort to our peace ideas Of revenue
legislation after that time comes.
But we are IN war now and II will
take war legislation to lead to VIC
tory.
