SEEKING 100000
FOR DEFAMATION"

Attention and interest OF officials
of Georgetown University were drawn
today to the reports from New York
Of the strange case of DR.. George
Barrie. noted physician and surgeon
who is a graduate of the medical de-
partment of the university.
DR.. Barrie's friendship for Capt
Percy w. Roberts, Army Medical Re-
serve Corps, a friendship which has
existed for many years, has been dis
solved by q letter accusing one Of
failing to uphold the trust reposed
in the other. AS consequence OF the
letter alleged TO have been written
by Captain Roberts while he was
stationed at an army hospital in West
Baden, Ind, his fellow physician has
begun an action in the New York
supreme court. demanding 100000 for
alleged defamation of character.
DR.. Barrie has practiced medicine
in New York for twenty-siE years,
ever since he was graduated from
Georgetown Medical School. He lived
here four years during his profess
sional training and subsequently
took special postgraduate work.

men have established regulations, not
only in New York, but among medi- |
cal men in many other cities Of the |
country. Captain Roberts attained
distinction through his treatment Of
wounded soldiers in New York. DR..

scathInE Letter.

On December 10 last Captain Rob
erts hurried to New York to protest
against the methods pursued by his
colleague and friend.
After this meeting DR.. Barrie re-
ceived a scathing letter from Captain
Roberts, which said, in part:
MY attention has been directed to
the fact that you have recently sent
out bills to those OF my patients
whom you saw while temporarily in
charge Of my practice. This is the
elimination of a succession Of inde-
fenSible acts on your part which war
rant unqualified censure as breaches
of professional ethics or Of faithiess-
ness to the personal trust reposed in
you when entered the service.
ITO be specific. you exploited my
patients TO your own benefit, making
charges entirely beyond reason for
the services rendered, which have
evoked criticism and complaint from
several different sources.
For the sake Of friendship in
which I held you in. days gone by,
want you to submit yourself to
searching retrospection, and if it is
not too late. to shake off the egoism,
which has blinded you to your own
selfishness and to the obvious fact
that thus far your life has been in
many ways a failure"

EDITORIAL

If you were asked to
name quickly the oldest
things in the world you
would, no doubt, mention a
lot Of inanimate objects you
learned of in history.
Your answer would be
wrong.
The oldest things existent
are trees-LIVING TREES.
In Fortingal, Perthshire,
for instance, is a yew that
is $3.50 years old.
In Africa a boabab tree is
also $3.50 years old.
In Mexico is the Monte
yuma Cypress tree $3.50
years of age.
You know the age of trees
can be determined almost
to the month by careful
measurements Of circumfer-
ence and diameter.
But, isn't it surprising to
know that the OLDEST
thing is still alive.
Wouldn't it be interesting
if we could know the things
those trees have witnessed
in their growth through so
or more centuries?

following week.
With st. viator's team are sew
eral former tri-city stars. Vincent
McCarty, last years high school

reputation for himself in high

team. Orren Littig. who played
with the high school two years ago

last year as half back, holds the
same position this year at st. VI

playing Of the team was so listless
that at times they had to, brace to
hold the Purdue men.
This week q different spirit will

feated Hammond once and held
them to tie later, but it developed
that the high class team Of that
