Every Physician in Country Is to
Be Listed.
National Defense Council Will Mobilize
Them for Civil and Military
Work.

WashingtOn.-Dr. Franklin Martin,
chairman of the general medical board
of the council of national defense, ex-
plains the scope and function of the
volunteer medical service corps, in
which it is proposed to enroll every
legally qualified physician in the
country, including women, without ref
erence to age or physical disability.
"It is Il method of recording all ply
sicians who are not yet in service and
of classifying them so that their serv-
ices when required will be utilized in
manner to inflict as little hardship
on the individual as possible" Doctor
Martin writes. ''It is a method by
which every physician not in uniform
will be entitled to wear an insignia
which will indicate his willingness to
serve his government.
"The object of the corps is to place
on record all medical men in the Unit
ed States; to aid the army, navy and
public health service In supplying war
needs; to provide the best civilian serv-
ice possible; to give recognition to all
who record themselves.
"Civilian service will be supplied
under fixed plan. Every one in the
corps will receive proper credit for
service rendered, and ample medical
attention will be assured for all re-
quiring it. There will be four tenta-
tive classes, consisting of fit-to-fight
men under forty, reserves under fifty
five; home forces over fifty-five, and
inelIgibles. Reserves may be called

Speed War Plan.

WashingtOn.-Eve six minutes a
merchant vessel arrives and another
departs from American ports. From
north Atlantic seaports there is a
departure every eleven minutes-one
for Europe every forty minutes. This
rate of operation does not include Ves-
sells in the service of the army or
navy.
The merchant fleet of 1900 ships
shipping board is run as a railroad, on
a time schedule. The duty of measur-
ing ships performances, with their
tasks, is lodged with the planning and
statistics division of the shipping
board, headed by e. II. Gay, formerly
dean of the Harvard Graduate School
of business.
Obviously the division must know
the tasks In detail, ana so it cO-ordi-
mates with the war industries and war
trade boards in determining and pro-
viding for the country's needs from
abroad 1t works on month to month
schedules, or as far in advance as II
IS feasible or possible to forecast.
Works With All Departments.
In planning the use of ships the dl-
vision works with the food administra-
tiOn in determining the shipping re-
quirements for food; with the war de-
partment in correlating shipping with
the requirements of the line of sup
plies for the western front; with the
war industries board in seeking solu.
tion of the problem of bringing neces.
sary raw imports into the country, and
with the war trade board in preparing
Nhe lists of essential imports and ex.
ports.
AS the country has gone more and
more on war basis, it has been re
garded necessary to limit the list OF
essential imports to less than 100
data on the ships and their trade pro
vide the basis for operation of the
vessels under the shipping boards con
troll. Likewise records are kept ot
neutral vessels coming to this coun
try or linking up with it's foreign
trade.
Thus the division checks daily abou
1000 vessels, 1900 of them being those
of the shipping board, 5000 engaged

ments which require constant infOrma-
tlon about the movement of supplies.
BY these movement charts any in
formation regarding locations and
movements of vessels is accessible,
and from past performances one mag
forecast the time of future voyages.
The summary on shipping and trade,
prepared every ten days for the war
industries and war trade boards and
the food administration, helps shape
the larger policies underlying the use
Of American ships in war time. The
charts tell whether the ships allocnted
to certain trade are enough, too
many or too few; whether they bring
In too little or too much; whether
they are on time, ahead of time or
behind time, and whether the trade
movement is too slow, too fast or just
right. The charts also serve to guide
the ship control committee in the as
signment of vessels to various trades.
By comparing import requirements
against deliveries the charts show
when vessels may be transferred from
one trade to another or released to the
army.

First, you are struck by their neat
ness; the streets were kept as clean
as our best pavements at home. a
man might have only a yard 80 feet
square, but in it he planted some
flowers, set out few trees and made
little park in whicn he took his
meals in the warm weather. and
where he and his family sat in the
long summer evenings. While they
are a hard working people and very
frugal, still they never seem to be
hurried and never parsimonious. The
one criticism that we had was that
we could get nothing done in hurry.
When we ordered breakfast and al
lowed an hour to catch train-we

for shave. A French barber will
never shave me again. I'll wear
whiskeH to my knees first. He shaw
ed me clean all right-clean to the
bone, but he was very polite and
cheerful about it, and / would have
been a pretty short sport to be any
less so myself.
The French moving picture shows
that l went to, showed mostly Amer
lean films. They always have a
singer in between the reels-usually
disabled soldier, and when they sing
the marching songs of the poilus, the
audience tears the roof off the place.
My last day in Areachon was the
| day the first news came in of the re-
cent Franco-American offensive. That
day, suppose 20 people stopped me
on the street as they did the rest Of
cur fellows who were there with me
and told us in English--if they could
speak it and in French if they had to,
what fine soldiers our trops were and
what great fight they were putting
up.
Of all the allied troops in France,
the Americans are the favorites; We
see that in many ways every day.
For my own part l can only wish
that by some means could get up to
the front and take real hand in the
big game.

cones were scattered by hand over
lings started to grow, as they advanc-
them out and cut away the poorly
formed trees. / have seen places
where this was not done and the
trunks of some of the trees had grown
into outlandish shapes, almost like
pretzels and absolutely worthless for
anything, even for good firewood. Of
course, nothing is wasted. the culls
are bundled for firewood and the tops
and small branches left on the ground
TO rot and form soil. When the trees
are in the neighborhood of 20 years
old and are of about 10 inches in di-
ameter they are first tapped for
pitch. The bark is scared on one
side for length Of probably six inch
es, and an earthen cup placed at the
bottom of the scar. These turpen-
tine gatherers take lease on a GER
tain number of trees for the season.
They begin soaring in April and keep
it up until October, Every month
they make the scar few inches long
er and during the seven months Till
their cups, which hold about pint,
probably twice each month. Tho
scar on the tree heals during the win
ter and when the next season begins
new scar is started a quarter of the
way around from the former one.
don't know just how long a tree will
yield the pitch, but there finally comes
time when the scars have become so
long that the gatherers carry ladder
around with them to get at his cups.
| have been told that this yield Of
pitch in a mature tree will have paid
for the expense of raising the tree
and bought the land it grows on and
that receipts for the tree at the mill
is all velvet.
The trees that we are cutting are
about 40 years old; they will average
20 inches diameter at the butt, and
contain $50 feet of lumber. The
specie is called Maratinie Pine from
its ability to do its best along the
sea-coast.
The method of cruising is simple
and about the same as it is done at
home. The cruiser takes an average
patch and steps off rectangle about
20 yards wide and 80 yards long then
counts the number of trees within
this space and measures them. Then
goes on further across the tract and
does the same again. This will give
the average contents per tree in the
tract. If the tract is purchased, all
the trees on the tract will be counted.
From this you will see that this stuff
is quite small. OF course, now and
then we get fair sized logs up to 80
inches but not frequently. believe
that the French value this kind of
stumpage around $35 a thousand.
