CBv Review Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The gov ernment is about to assume control of the entire medical profession in the United States to obtain sufficient doc tors for the army, and at the same time to distribute those remaining to the localities or services where they are most needed for civilian worx
 This mobilization is to be accomp- lished either by enrolling al doctors in a voluntary service corps under pledge to accept whatever service. military or civilian, is assigned them, or if the voluntary plan is not success ful. by legislation providing for draft ing them into service. Medical officers of the government believe conscrip- tiOn will not be necessary.
 Under the projected plan, the army and navy would take those physicians and surgeons best fitted for active duty, and who can be spared from civilian requirements. At the same time the government would maintain a continuous survey of the country and assign doctors to those communities

ALLIES DECIDE ON
 CONTAMINATION

TOXIC, Tuesday, July 16. CBy the Associated Press) ).-According to in- formation in Tokio the plans of the United States in Russia are two fold: first, military assistance to the CzechoSloyaks, and second, giving general economic help to Russia
 The United States is described as being of the feeling that the Czecho- Slovaks should not be abandoned while they are striving to reach their aim. Ii is said there is no desire on the part of the American government to intervene in Russian affairs, bur that it favors the dispatch of sui ficient forces to leave the CzechU-Slo- walks free to ensure the safe arrival of their comrades from the interior
 Great Britain and France, it is said, also will send small contingents so as to make the movement inter-allied.

FIGHTING TODAY
 WILL BE SITTER
CRv Review Leased wirel


 LONDON, July 1S-Reuter's core spondent at French headquarters in France suggests that the complete sur prise of the enemy by the Franco American attack was due partly to lack of vigilance, owing to violent thunderstorms and the rain and wind which swept the whole country be- tween the Aisne and Marne during the night The German first lines, the correspondent says, made weak resist ance and mnay prisoners were taken in the first hour of the attack.
 The correspondent predicts stiffer fighting Friday when he believes masses of unused German troops be- yond the Aisne will be brought up
 "The operation may be regarded as a big diversion of the enemy salient between the Aisne and the Marne with a view to arresting his advance toward Epernay and Rheims" says the correspondent. "It was the first time since the German offensive began on March .2l of the development of an in- dependent maneuver which obliged the Germans to give battle on ground of General Foch's choosing. The changed situation is largely due to the progressive diminutiOn of the enemy's superiority since March and the ar rival of a powerful American contin- gent on the allied front"

 Conferences of doctors were held to- day in Washington and a number ot other cities tO discuss the operation of the voluntary enrolment plan A com mittee of army and navy surgeons also completed recommendation for mclu- sion in the volunteer medical service corps all doctors, instead of only those disqualified for military service.
 Of the 143.O00 doctors in the United States. it is estimated between S0.00g and 95,O00 are active practice and 23,O00, or about One-fourth are in the army or navy. Nearly 50,000 will be required eventually for the army.
 It became known today that Surgeon General Gorgas of the army, Braisted of the navy and Blue of the public health service are considering a plan for commissioning all teachers in med ical schools and assigning them tO their present duties. This would con- stitute a means of preventing further disruption of medical teaching staffs. and at the same time recognize the public service of these men.
