MANY OPPOSE
ARMY CHANGES
FOR M. D. CORPS
Surgeon General Gorgas
Appears for Bill Fought
by War Department.

Decided opposition appeared yester-
day within the House Military Az
fairs Committee to legislation asking
better military rank for the army
Medical Corps.
Surgeon General Gorgas, who ap-
peared in behalf of the medical men,
was subjected to a series of ques-
tons bearing on the fitness of the
personnel of the Medical Corps. He
admitted that a great wedding out of
young officers had been necessary,
and that this process was still going
on.
Members of the committee ques-
toned whether It would be wise to
better the rank of the men in the
corps until this process was complet-
ed. Gen. Gorgas said that he was so
anxious for the bill to become law
that he would call Off certain inspec-
ton trips he had planned and appear
before the committee again with all
the information it desired.
Chairman Dent read a letter from
the War Department-which opposes
the bill, and against which Gorgas is
making practically a single fight
saying the bill would create eighty
major generalships. and 1900 officers
ships above the rank OF colonel in the
corps.
Gorgas did not dispute the truth of
this.
Friends of the measure. however,
said that this must be due simply to
careless wording. as their understand
ing was that the medical corps did
not ask any such radical privileges.

Of all German or other enemy aliens
by not later than May 5.
Names Of women in Washington who
will be compelled to leave probably
will not be made public.
Data collected in the previous regis
tration and exodus OF enemy alien
men probably will be used by police
and Justice Department officials in
closely checking the number of Ger
man women and girls in the city.
Where the women and girls will have
to register has not yet been decided
upon by the Justice Department, but
details will be announced within a
few days, Attorney General Gregory
said in a statement last night.
Attorney General Explains.
The statement says:
The Presidents proclamation of
April 19, relating to alien enemy
women. applies to women OF German
birth and women of Austria Hun
Sarian nationality. the same restric-
tons as were previously enforced as
to the male aliens OF these Two ma
tionalities respectively.
THE regulation prohibiting German
women from entering or residing in
the District Of Columbia takes effect
at once, but German women transients
will be given until midnight, Monday,
April %, within which to leave the
District. German women who have
resided in the District continuously
since April 6. 1917, will be given until
midnight, Sunday. May 5. with which
to leave the District. Any German
women of either of these classes
found within the District after the
time set for their departure, vii! be
subject to arrest and internment.
Arrangements are already being
made for the registration of German
alien enemy women, and further an
nouncement will be made hy the At
torney General within q few days, of
the dates and manner of such regis
tration. The administrative machin-
cry to be used by the government in
this work will be the same already
employed for registering male Ger
man alien enemies, namely, the police
in cities over 5000 according to the
census Of 1910. and postmasters in all
other communities

new SYSTEM
STARTS TODAY
ON D. G. LINES
Plan Of Expert
Beeler Expected to Pro-
duce Cussing. ).

The street car skip-stop system, ad-
vocated by John A. Beeler, of New
York, TRANSFORMATION expert, and ac-
cepted by the Public Utilities Com
mission of the District OF Columbia
for adoption here, will become eff
fective today throughout the Dis
trict, as well as on the Chevy Chase
line where 1t exends into Maryland.
Round yellow signs, twelve inches
in diameter. on a pole six and one
half feet high, were set up yester-
day afternoon and during the night
on all the streets through which the
cars Of the Capital Traction and
Washington Railway and Electric
companies run, to indicate where the
cars will stop henceforth.
Some confusion is expected, to be-
gin with. but 1t Is believed that this
will be Of short duration. and that
great benefit will be derived from
the system in speeding UP the service.
Don't blame the conductor" was
the message John A. Beeler asked
the Washington Herald yesterday
to convey to the public. in connec-
tion with the Inauguration of the
skip-stop system throughout the
city today.
Don't blame the motorman;
your troubles will not be his fault,
and they will not be the con-
ductor's fault.
"If you want to swear. swear at
me. 1t is all my fault. but / haYe
done my best to make your street
car trips easier"
Then Mr.. Beeler whispered an
aside for the exclusive ear OF The
Herald man: They will surely
swear at first. while they are get
ting used to 1t, and there are bound
to be mistakes in the first few days.
but after that they will forget all
about it and be tickled to death
just as they have done about the
daylight saving"
