MEDICAL DISPUTE
 IS ON IN LONDON

London, Nov. 16-The right of a voluntary and unofficial organizatio% to lay down and enforce laws for members of a profession or trade, and to injure and damage members of the
 profession who violate such rules,
 was denied by a British court re- gently. The organization in question
 is the British Medical Association.
 The Medical association had pro- claimed and enforced what it termed 'ostracism" of several doctors who were conducting a sanitarium and who were charged by the Medical as- sociation with violating professional ethics, or the rules of the society. One of the charges was hinged upon
 the amount of money which the doc tors required of patients, which ap- parently was below the scale demand ed by the society, and the other dealt with alleged control of the sanitarium ] by professional persons
 Justice McCardle, who decided the i case, called it a boycott. He decided Chat ''the plaintiffs did not sin against fthe honor of the medical profession |"
 which was the formal charge made i against them by the association.

ENGAGEMENT OF TWO MEN TANKS
 RELATED BY ALABAMA SERGEANT
Interesting Experiences Made Public Tactics of Tank
 Squads in Battles and Methods of Exterminating
 Huns Related to Press Correspondent.

With the American Forces in France, Nov 16-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) - American fighters in the French two-man tanks ran into some hot work in front of Romannge during the American army's advance along the west bank of the Mouse early in October and Sergeant James Avertt of Birming- ham, Ala, with his buddy did their share in giving the Hun his due. Averett's buddy was killed in the thick of the fight by a bullet that entered a peep hole in the side of the tank and struck him fair in the face.
 It was during the American "push" In the Argonne sector. Avertt's tank went along with a lot of other brother" tanks in line with the American infantrymen crowding them in the rear. Avertt was the machine gunner of his tank while his buddy" ran the engine and steered the tank. Wipe Out Trench.
 T was so near a number of Ger 1 mans encountered in a shallow trench | that I could see the terror on their | faces when my gun began to let fly | bullets almost in their very faces,' | Sergeant Avertt said. These were the | first Boches I ran into on this drive and I certainly let them have it as fast as my old machine could fire, and that was some fast, and I just | kept going ahead and pounding away until every last one of them was stretched out on the ground.
 Passing beyond this hastily dug trench. I in the meantime watching my brothers on my right and left and at the same time keeping tab on the doughboys coming up, got sight of little batch of Germans behind a hump in the hill along the roadway, | or what had been a roadway before our heavy artillery opened up that | morning. These were machine gum ners, soon learned, and bullets began to splash off the tanks sides particu- 1 larly those which struck 8 glancinE blow.
 'I ordered my tank buddy at the wheel to keep after those gunners Il 1t cost us all four wheels. He did and we went up after them sort O. sideways, and I got around on to the side of that hump, and my brother on the other side was doing the same and we wiped that bunch out in g tiffy-I believe it was by enfladins fire, as the officers call it.

RADIO PHONES DIRECT PLANES
squadrons of Our Airplanes Were Manoeuvred From Ground in Last War
 Days.

Washington, Nov. 16-Squadrons of American airpIanes fighting in FraRaa up to the moment of the armistice were manoeuvring under the vocal or ders of the squadron commander that reached each pilot by radio telephone.
 News of the successful development of this device, hitherto a military secret, though some inkling of it had reached the~Germans Just before hos tilities ceased. was allowed to become public yesterday by John D. Ryan, Director of Aircraft Production. There are some details concern ing it which we cannot discuss yet" MT Ryan said, but the radio devices worked out during months of experi- ment went into actual service some weeks ago. I have myself, standing on the groNnd, given orders to a squadron flying in the air and watched them manoeuVre accordingly. The | transmission of the voice is clear i enough to be heard distinctly through l the sound of the airplane motor. It is i in every way the most satisfactory means of communicating between planes in the air and from the ground to planes"
 MT. Ryan said he could not discuss l the distances over which the radio telephone had worked, but it is known to be a matter of some miles.
 w. c. Potter, of the equipment di- vision of the bureau, explained that the idea of the radio telephone was conceived some time ago by experi- mentors. It's successful development and application to airplane equipment was the work of the bureaus own peo- pie.
 For some months 1t has been pos sible in our offices in Washington to hear the planes flying miles over the city" he said. talking to each other and to the ground as they worked out and perfected the device"
 - The fact that radio telephones were a regular part of American aerial
 equipment has been permitted to be-
 come known only since the capture
 of German order to aerial sQuadrons
 demanding that an American airplane with wireless telephone equipment be shot down and brought to the rear for examination.
 MT. Ryan said yesterday that higf pressure on airplane production wa! eased immediately after the signing o the armistice. Just prior to that SO' De Haviland planes were being turned . out weekly, and about 20 Handley
 Page bombing planes were being con
 structed weekly in knock-down shap' for shipment These latter are thu largest type of flying machines yet pu in use.

they not get too far ahead of the in- fantry.
 Huns Driven From Woods.
 Just beyond the hump was a clump of woods, and we began to pour bull lets into sthat," Sergeant Avertt con- tinued, "and for a time there was some smoke arising above the treetops so we knew there were Boches in there. About four of us opened up in full force and showered that woods with lead.
 "The machine gun answers were pretty stiff for awhile, as we want for ward, but I just kept peppering away and talking to my buddy all the time and telling him what we were going to do-clean out that woods. My broth CTS on either side someway had the same hunch. The doughboys back of me too were firing right along with us and the Boche in that thicket must have thought all hell had broken loose, because first thing I knew the firing virtually stopped and l figured all the Boches had been killed or had | decided to beat it before we all got | there in force "Along about this time I noticed that the tank boys on the right were swinging around the side of the clump of trees, and from the position of, | their guns and the speed of their tanks judged that they were giving 1 fits to some Fritzes running away. | then switched so as to run along side the thicket, at a distance, and joined | the tank boys going around the end. Buddy" Is Killed. 1 "Just about that time there was a volley of machine gun bullets, and some anti-tank gun stuff, too, from a 1 hill a bit to my left. Suddenly my I tank just began to tremble or some thing, and then stopped, and shudder- ed all over. I looked down and my buddy was limp in his seat. One of those damned bullets had come in through my 'buddy-s' peep hole and hit him square in the face.
 My buddy was dead. His final clutch on the throttle shut off the gas and the old tank stopped, and there I was, and the other boys went on. That's about all I know about that fight, Or whatever it was, and I'm waiting around now for another tank and another buddy too, to take me up front again where things are doing every minute. This tank business is great business for the boys who like to shoot" >ssSES ct
 Avertt said that when he went into action he determined to keep count of the number of Germans his ma chine gun touched off, but when he began to use his gun he could think of nothing but purpose to. spread death and destruction and that ht quickly lost count of the number he saw fall.
