:. q. :. CALL TO THE MEDICAL
PROFESSION OF OKLAHOMA

The Council of National Defense
is sending Major Henry ID. Jump, NJ.
X. C., to Oklahoma to hold rally
of all medical men of Oklahoma on
Saturday night, March %, at Okla
hOma city. This will be monster
rally for the medical profession Of
Oklahoma every patriotic physi-
clan of the State should be present.
THE number of physians now
commissioned in the Medical Re-
serve Corps is l7,43O. In the Med
ical Corps, Regular Army, National
Army and National Guard there are
about two thousand more. This
number at ten to thousand soldiers
will provide for any army of two mil
lions; but another million are about
to be drafted, and this will require
five thousand more. No one knows
how large an army may ultimately
be called out. We must provide ply
sicians for the army no matter how
large it may he. There is a dearth
of surgeons and internists of the
! first class. Good men and young
men are needed. All are classified
and will ultimately reach their prop
er places Cases of negligence pub
lished in the papers are isolated, but
show how alert the War Department
is to give the soldiers the best care
possible. Many capable men are not
yet in. We want all physicians un-
der fifty-fivc to pass the examina
| tiOn. A volunteer medical service
corps is being formed and will be
open to those who cannot join the
. Reserve Corps. The Surgeon Gen
eral is preparing one hundred thou
sand beds for the sick and irretriev-
ably wounded in this country. No
wounded will be brought back here
who will be able to get to the firing
| line again soon. People who think
the war will soon be over are short
sighted. No thought of early peace
appears at headquarters. II the
business man would apply to this
situation the same rules and far.
sight that he does to his business he
would see the folly Of thinking that
peace will soon come. Preparations
go on apace for Il long war and very
large army. Recently il was pub
lishcd that the Government had con
tracted for ten million uniforms.
eleven million pairs of wooden
gloves, twenty million pairs of shoes.
twenty million pairs of stockings,
eighteen million blankets. seven
million OvercOats. As no man wears
bat one OvrrcOat AT Il time, il would
look as ii they meant to have Il very
large army"
Now Is the time that the medical
profession are called upon for sacri-
flee and patriotism. They have met
every demand in the past and this
second call will not fa.l upon deaf
ears

American Red
Cross 36 Years
Old Saturday

Last Saturday, March lG. marked
the thirty-sixth anniversary OF the
establishment of the American Red
Cross.
In that brief span of years the or

Cling little band of workers to an
institution with nearly 22.0OO,OOO
members. and its work has attained
IL breadth and scope that was never
dreamed OF.

the day in Washington, as the Ma

stop and honor the day with any
special observance.
! Out of the suffcrings of the SOL
diers and civilians of the civil war
came the realization of the urgent
need for some such merciful organ

OF the Red Cross. had seen failure
in the methods of relief in vogue in
the civil war. to which she devoted
/ her life during that period. Ate"
the four hard years of work with the
"Sanitary Commission. she went to
Switzerland to recuperate. and 1t
was there that she caught the spirit
of the Red Cross and returned to
America to do her part toward up
building what has now proven to be
the greatest humanitarian organiza-
tiOn in the history of the world.
Clara Barton suffered many tenn
porary defeats; she was put off time

MILLION TONS OF DUTCH SHIPS
SEIZED

The United States and Great Brit
ain have seized one million tons OF
Dutch shipping, now held in ports
all over the world. for the duration
of the war, and will insure them and
compensate the owners for their
use. The action was taken to foil
Germany's scheme to prevent Hol-
land from venturing out with her
ships by threats and by her ruthless
submarine campaign. The acquisi-
tion of the additional shipping In
the present shipping crisis is OF great
importance to the allied nations.

ruthlessness against neutral ma

erican and allied food supplies and
thereby reducing them through
starvation to political and economic
