GEORGE c, PEET
 MEMORIAL FUND
 IS ESTABLISHED

(Continued from Page One) safely invested and remain intact, the interest to be used flor the benefit of the association. The interest shall annually be paid over to what is known as the surplus funds of the association.
 The announcement of the creation of the fund came as a total surprise to the police department. This was quickly followed by admiration of Mrs. Peet, and gratitude for her mo- ble and humane action. Superinten- dent of Police John H. Redgate said that many members of the depart ment were acquainted with Mrs. Peet, and that during the long service of her son she had always been inter ested in the activities of the depart ment, and in the welfare of the men.
 Former Police Commissioner George c. Peet died at his home in this city following an attack of influenza early in October. His loss was keenIy felt by both officers and men of the de- partment, and many tributes have been paid to his memory in form of letters of coincidence to his survi- vors | The establishment of the trust fund by his mother will be a standing memorial to his service here. Among the members of the depart ment who learned of the fund early today, Mrs. Peet's generosity was the main topic of discussion. It is ex- pected that the board of directors 1 will accept the trust of the funds to- night, and some token of the high l esteem in which the men Of the po- lice department hold Mrs. Peet, and
 a formal expression of gratitude will | be rendered her.

Prisoners From German Camps In
 Pitiable Shape
(Continued from Page One)

At TreIon, which Is supposed to be a hospital for prisoners disabled while working on the western front, condi- ti5ns were even worse. The place was supposed to accommodate 400, but there were about 1000 there. There was but one doctor in attend ance on the men, many of whom were in shocking condition.
 The second report, dated October 28, says the conclusion was reached that events in the camps attached to the Tenth army corps point to a de- liberate policy of vindictiveness, with a definite purpose of reducing the health of officer prisoners. It is said this impulse sprang from responsible German authorities and was directed by them. The war ministry did ncd interfere for the alleged reason that it had no authority over the comman- der of any army corps. The com mittee says this seems a mere pre- tense.

WHERE THE DOC
TORS DISAGREE

Under Health Insurance the med
ical profession and health authori-
ties join in promotion of health In
stead of curing disease"
''The apparent INCREASE in amount
of sickness under health insurance
grows out of undiscovered cases
which the system uncovers."
The above statements were made
in hearings held in. San Francisco to
frame laws for California II health
Insurance carries.
They were made by DR.. Woods
Hutchinson, who has made a study of
health and social insurance systems
for thirty years, as he stated.
The Legislative agent Of state la
Dor council stated that compulsory
health insurance should carry with
1t compulsory medical benefit.
He said: "The employer shouia
be forced to provide compulsory
medical insurance whether worker
cared to accept It or not.
The compulsory medical benefits
should be left to the state and cash
benefits to unions and fraternAl or
ganizations."
To hitche up the medical profess
sion with the state authorities and
then compel everyone to take 1t
whether they want it or not Is not
IA accordance with free institutions.
1t is a remarkable phase Of the
situation that two hundred of the
most prominent physicians In the
state are opposed to the whois plan
OF free social and health insurance.
The State Social Insurance COM
mission that has charge Of the CAM
paign for proposed laws are pursuing.
political methods by offering free
medical attendance to a large portion
of the people and tax Others who get
no benefits.
/ Instead of being a measure for the
promotion of health" as DR.. Hut
Gibson states. this looks more like
a movement toencourage sickness as
a profession"
