uhsune HEROES OF WAR.
Army Surgeons Hard Worked During
Recent Great Battles,

Correspondence Associated Press.
Somewhere in France. April 24-One
of the unsung heroes of the war is the
military surgeon. No man has been
harder worked in the tremendous fight
ing of the past few weeks, and his
work has been in most cases far from
pleasant. :
There Is not the same romantic
stimulus for the medical man that
There is for the infantry or artillery Of
f1cer. 1t is one thing to dash about I'M
der fire intent on killing or being
killed; lids another thing to dash about
under fire and take the same risks
while calmly attending to those with
wounds from which all other men as
they pass avert theirs heads. '"Thank
God, am not DOCTOR" said an officer
who had been detailed to inspect a.
number of improvised casualty clear
ing stations along the front during a
recent attack.
The regimental surgeon In the Brit
isl1 army has in his charge the we'll
being of more than a thousand men.
When there is no fighting on, he has
plenty to do. He has to strike happy
medium In discouraging the faint
hearted, who come to him as a means
Of obtaining fortnight's rest, and in
holding out a helping hand to those
who are in real distress. If he is too
lenient, the commanding officer begins
to ask whether he intends to deplete
the whole regiment; If he is too harsh
the junior officers and men lose pa
thence.
The doctor is the only officer in the
regiment, however. who is the fortu-
nate possessor Of car, but this leads
to numerous complications. There are
some thirty odd officers in the regi-
ment, and each one of them has some
few trifies which must go in that car.
II he is weak enough to take them,
the car is overloaded and before long
breaks down and precious medical
stores have to be abandoned If he re-
fuses to take them, his position in the
officers mess becomes we'll nigh un-
bearable.
The doctor doesn't ride, but foot

same mud, the same wind and rain.
and the same perils. His duties are
not confined to caring for the i'll and
injured. He must supervise the san
itation OF camps and biiiets, ensure the
purity Of drinking water, keep a look
out for outbreaks and epidemics,
maintain a continuous campaign Of in
EQUATIONS and. vaccinations, and fill
out long series Of records and army
forms. He has to do his utmost in the
light Of his special knowledge. to 4saain-
tain the health Of his unit, and any re-
missness on his part may lead to a
serious diminution in its strength.
In billets he has the added duty OF
playing the role Of medical attendant
to the villagers, as all the French doc
tors in the country districts have gone.

Another tentacle Of German control
in American industry has been severed
by A. Mitchell Palmer. the alien prop
erty custodian.
Under arrangements now being COM
pleted between the custodian and the
Fur Merchants Credit Association of
New York City, the interests Of the
German fur barons Of Leipzig will be
purchased by American merchants and
the money paid turned into the United

Of the war for the Germans involved.
In announcing today the forced re-

not be made until all the fur dealers
have reported balances due the Ger

The pan-exeeutives then passed the

"We recognize that the execution
of Nicholas was absolutely correct.

TRAINING DESIRED
Advocates Of Measure Have
Bill Ready For Introduc-
ton Next Fall

Washington, July 25-A new fight
for universal military training is de-
veioping in congress.
Universal training advocates, it be-
eame known today, have new bill
ready to introduce at about the same
time the man power legislation comes
out of committee in September. An
attempt to have this bill considered
as an amendment to the measure
changing the selective service ages will
be made if the least opportunity a
rises.
Realizing they cannot get the
measure considered over administration
objections, universal training hackers
today were hopeful of securing the
tacit if mot the open support of the
president and Secretary Baker. This
hope is based upon the belief that
universal training is gaining favor in
administration councils. One of the
hopeful signs of this change of at
titude, training advocates say, is the
training of 100000 college men under
war department auspices.
At the same time members of the
mild Larry committees Of both houses
foresee the possibility that the wal
department may ask for universe
training on its own initiative by re
questng lowering of the draft age
to 10.
Putting boys of 10 into training
camps for a year or more, it wa'
pointed out today, would be practi
cally adopting universal trH'nlng foi
the war at least, and would be re
garded everywhere as test for sucf
training in peace as well as war time
In connection it was suggested tha
/ the war department would ask vo
cational training be provided in al
cantonments for men under 2l.
Committee members generally ac
cepted 10 to 40 as the ages Baker vii
name in asking draft age changes.
With possibility of only 100000
men remaining in class one, by th'
first of September, members of th'
house committee declared that tn
change in all ages will ccme barely il
time to avert the necessity of dip
ping into deferred classes.
Guesses as to how high congres
would be asked TO boost the arm.
appropriations ranged from Is to is bi
lion with the majoity choosing tn
$4,000, 100000 already appropriated
and would cover expenses of callini

MEAT WAS STOLEN
FROM WAREHOUSES;
RESOLD BY. THIEVES
Bold Operations Of Gang Told
In Indictments Of Federal
Grand Jury

New York, July 26-How the gov
ernment re-purchased meat stolen from
its warehouse was described in feder-
al indictments returned today against
81 men, including Wholesale and retail
butchers, truck drivers and two gov
ernment checkers.
The indictment specifically charged
embezzlement of government beef y
from the Manhattan Refrigerating com
pany's warehouse, through a system
of false checking.
More than 100000 pounds of beef
have been stolen from the warehouse
since April, which marks the extent OF
the federal grand jury's investigation
This beef was bought by the govern
ment at an average price of "a cents
a pound. 1t was sold to certain whole
sale and retail butchers at 13 to II
cents pound A great quantity of this
it was alleged, was, in turn, sold to the
Brooklyn navy yard at 25 to 26 cents
a pound
The warehouse, which is used fol
storage of government beef prepara
tory to shipment to the American ex'
peditionary force, at times contained
as high sas three million pounds. The
indicted checkers are alleged to have
made it appear that less beef was il
storage than was actually received.
