DOCTORS URGED ID ! FILE APPLICATIONS IN SERVICE CORPS
Dr. Ward, Chairman Local Unit, National Council of Defense, Receives Mes
 sage From Capital

Birmingham doctors are urged to im- mediatey fill out their applications Of enrolment in the volunteer medical ser vice corps in message received last night by pr. H. S. Ward, chairman of the Jefferson county unit of the na- tional council of defense, from Wash ington.
 The difference between the service corps and the medical reserve corps is that a physician enrolling in the service corps is subject to be drafted into serv- ice at any time for any purpose that the government sees fit possibly in a camp, an industrial plant. in the navy or in the army, and the idea of the na : tional council of defense is to mobilize all of the doctors so that they may put before the proper authorities the various qualifications, ages and surroundings.
 so that when doctors are needed, and 1t
 is emphasized that they are needed now,
 they may be chosen from this census. The national council of defense insists that all doctors file these applications at once The local unit chairman. Dr. Ward is very anxious that all local doc tors comply with the request in order that this county may make the proper showing to the national council of de-
 fense
 Many of the local doctors have already
 filed their applications for the service corps

TRAINED NURSES
 BADLY NEEDED Urgent Call for Nurses for Base Hospital at Camp
 Mcclellan Received


 Seventy-eight experienced nurses are needed at once at the base hospital al Camp Mcclellan, according to advices received yesterday by P. G. Shook, chairman of the local Red Cross chap ter from A. R. Beale, field director, American Red Cross, Camp Mcclellan. These nurses are wanted for govern ment work and not for the Red Cross and MT. Shook is of the opinion that the call coming a this time when Spanish influenza is prevalent, means that an epidemic of the dread disease has hit this cantonment, although this was not stated in the telegram received by him.
 MT. Beale Ls urged MT. Shook to use every effort to supply the required num- Der of nurses as the need is imperative and hesitation by anyone qualified for the work might mean the life of dozens of soldiers.
 The message of MT. Beale is as fol- lows
 Must have at least IS experienced nurses immediately, Please give full publicity of this fact in the local papers in the nature of an appeal for service. Work is for goTernment and not the Red Cross. Use best efforts to get quick action. Address all communications to A. R. Beale. Field Director American Red Cross, Camp Mcclellan, Anniston Ala"

 R. N. Hudson, special attorney for the railroad administration called on MT. Murray asking for assistance and after a conference Special Agent Jim McAdory was sent to confer with the leaders. When the workmen appeared and were told the company had refused to dis- charge or transfer the officer they re- fused to go to work and patriotic talk and appeal to the negroes was made.
 They were told they were helping the Kaiser by going on strike and going against their own government as the railroads were controlled by the govern- ment. MT McAdory assured the men that MT. Murray would investigate the case and straighten out their grievances. The leader Will Perry when he under stood the men were interfering with the government advised the negroes to re- turn to work which they did
