Cover Local Grain Shipments.

Washington, June 10.-The inter.
state commerce commission today or
dered railroads operating in Kansas.
Nebraska. Oklahoma, Texas, Arkan-
sas, Missouri and Iowa to remove
prejudicial rules fixing 10000 pounds
as a minimum on grain products as
compared with 10000 pounds in in
terstate shipments of grain and grain
products. Since the higher minimum
weight was approved, the roads will
be compelled to raise the intrastate

The commission also held that the
rule establishing a 30.000-pound min
imum for flour shipments from Mis-
souri, river points to Mississippi val
ley territory is unduly preferential for
Illinois mills and prejudicial to west

NEED 5000 ARMY DOCTORS
Must Have Them for Active Service
by July l.

Chicago, June 10.-Maj. Gen. w. c
Gorgas. surgeon general of the United
States army, told the general medical
board of the national council of de-
Tense that the army requires 5000
more young physicians for active serv-
ice by July 1, and a constantly ex-
panding number as the army grows.
He said any man who asks active serv-
ice abroad can obtain it.
His statement was made at a meet
ing in connection with the sixty-ninth
annual convention of the American
Medical association which opened
here today.
I'VE are putting into the field the
best army physically and mentally in
the world" said Major General Cor
gas. The parents Of the boys who
comprise this great army should know
that they will receive the best pos
sible treatment from the time they
enter the service until they are dis
charged. We have had the best health
conditions in mobilizing this army that
the world has ever seen. The death
rate in the japanese army from dis

in the world. The death rate in the
American army is per 1000.
I'VE estimate that IS to so per cent
of all wounded men will be restored
and returned to active service again,
abled will not exceed 10 per cent.
The great epics in the advance of
medical science in war work include
the efficiency of the performing all
surgical operations within twenty-four
hours after the infliction of the
wound. the use Of large incisions in
performing these operations, the dis
covery of an anti-toxin for gas bacil-

discovery that trench fever Is spread

"The practical effect of these dis
coyeries will be of material assistance
to the army surgeons in keeping the
death rate down and increasing the
physical efficiency Of the men In the

Fighting Over Same Ground
With Same Objective.
Time Is Stin With the Defend
ers of Paris.
BY J. W. r. MASON.

New York, June 1o.-von linden
burgs new offensive between Mont
didier and Noyon is an attempt to cap
ture the important French communi-
cations center at Campiegne. and
duplicate Won Kluck's famous advance
on Paris during the early weeks of
the war.
Hindenburg is returning. in fact, to
in all its essential details. This
months advance to the Marine Is no
more than a reproduction of the
drive directed over the same ground
in the summer OF 1914 by the Saxon
general. Won Hansen. while the pres
emit advance toward Compiegne is q
reacceptance OF the strategic policy
Of Won KlL TX. Both Won Hansen and
Won Kluck are now in retirement be-
cause Of their failures.
Their impetuous efforts were over
come by General Foch's famous
counter offensive south OF the Marine;
and General Foch now faces the same
situation that confronted Marshal
Joffre in August, 1914.
Even the time element II operating
now, as it did then. The Germans
sought in 1914 to capture Paris and
so end the war in the west before
Russia could develop her major Of
fensive In the same manner. Hin
denburg is now attempting to rush to
Paris in the hope that he can end
the war before Americas major Of
fensive begins. There is this differ
ence, however. between the situation
then and now: The allies had no large
force of reserves protecting the road
to- Paris in 1914. while General
Foch's principal reserve strength IL
at present concentrated southwest OF
Compiegne, where he is strongly
blocking Won Klucks old pathway to
the capital.
At no point south Of Amiens are
The allies better~prepared TO resist the
German advance than between Mont
didier and Noyon. Every hundred
yards gained by Hindenburg in this
sector can only be at a cost in casual
ties equalling the highest slaughter OF
German manpower during the Pr
cafdy offensive. General Foch has a
splendid railway service running into
Compiegne for the rapid movement
OF troops.
