care for them. The doctors now in the
hospitals were mostly ex-service men.
When the war was ended they found
they had practically lost the practices
which they left when they answered the
call to duty. They are the best physi-
clans that we could obtain, and In gen.
eral they are very skilled in their pro-
fession.
"To put the hospitals under civil SER
vice would lower the standard OF medical
attendance. 1t would practically wreck
the system Of treating ex-service men
which we have built UP during the last
three years. The men now serving were
selected for their ability rather than
for any political consideration. There
are about 1900 of them. We need
nearly 800 more physicians to go on duty
during the next few months, when many
new hospitals will be opened"
The proposed change went to the
White House. it Is understood, when DR..
Cumming and the Treasury Department
officials refused the request Of the Gov
ernment efficiency bureau to put 1t into
effect

Is inclined to rely upon the advice Of the

Hospital Plan.
speciat Dispatch to THE Nrw Yonx HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washlnrton. ID. C.. Jan. e.


A flood of protest from every section
of the United States as well as from
New York reached the White House
and the Public Health Service here to-
day against the proposal to place under
civil service doctors and all employees
Of hospitals where thousands OF cx-
service men are undergoing treatment
II is unlikely that the proposal. which
wes Intended to save the Government
s7oo. 900 a year. will be put into effect.
Surgeon-Gen. Hugh S. Cumming of
the Public Health Service. who has
charge OF seventy hospitals caring Tor
war veterans. came out openly against
placing the hospitals on a civil service
basis. He made recommendation
against the change to Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon. his chief, who may
mace the accommodation before Presi-
dent Harding.
Under the proposal, which originated
In the Efficiency Bureau. doctors OF the
Medical Reserve Corps who are treat
ing veterans at public health hospitals
would be placed on n civilian instead
of a military basis. The maximum sal
nry would be $4,000 a year.
Before this could take place President
Harding would be Obliged to issue an
order 90 the civil Service Commission.
Oflcials OF the National Tuberculosis
Association made long distance telo-
phone call to Surgeon-General Cummin
to voice their protest.
DR.. Frank Billings. noted Chicago
physician, calling to-day on DIR. Cum
min. expressed disapproval OF the
change.
Under the plan as advanced by the
Government efficiency bureau saving
OF 1871 per cent. would be made by the
Government In the money now paid out
In salaries to doctors Of the public
health hospitals. enrolled as medical re-
serve officers.
"The plan would throw into a po-
litical scramble the positions OF doctors
and all other employees Of seventy pub
lie health service hospitals where ex-
service men are being treated" said
Dr. Cummin.
"It might mean the death Of some

a Republic of Brazil
 HonorS American Women

An amusing story Is told in a re- cent bulletin sent out by the Nation al League of Women Voters at Washington. The committee for tho Brazilian centennial, which will be given next month. has sent out a poster in which special honor is shown to the United States, and which aroused much comment at the Washington headquarters. Follow ing Is the account: &A
 Not long ago Brazil inadvertently stirred up the office staff of the Ma tional League of Women Voters, and if it hadn't been for Mrs. Edward Costigan, chairman of the league 8 living costs committee. Brazil might have been asked a very awkward question by that staff. The stirring was done by poster displayed on the leagues bulletin board. out of compliment to the sister republic. ad- Vertising the September centennial , at Rio. The poster shows allegori- cal figures of nations gathered about Brazil, with the United States the figure nearest her. Like every other figure, America carries a flag in one hand and unlike every other figure she bears In her other hand a sprig of vegetation of some sort.
 That's a palm, the file clerk said as soon as she saw it. England - hasn't one and France nasn't. That shows that Brazil thinks America won the war.
 The reference bureau clerk is Can adian, and everybody knows what happens when a Canadian hears that the United States won the war. It was nine in the morning when the file clerk discovered Brazll's attitude, and nj I0.20 tba diqpuesfon wac sti1l going strong, the perature rising every minute.
