Attention, Mr.. Kabat.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
This is for the exclusive eye of
Harry Kabat. If said eye can be
called exclusive. so to save argu-
ment. I'll say that this is for the
eye of Harry X. Bat. exclusively.
That's the prologue. 1 always like
things with prologues. don't you,
Hal. or don't you know what a pro-
logue is?
Firstly. Hal. would slay thee for
mentioning those disgraceful statis-
tics about who much time is wasted
in the government by the female

word 'nauseate," and il reminded
me of another part of your epistle

Takes Issue With Howard.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
l desire 70 question your heading
to the recent letter signed Charles
Z. Howard, Wants Reserve Bill
Passed" since the more charita bl e
view to take is that Mr.. Towards
expression has a contrary design
and is rather propaganda in opposi-
ton to the bill in question, namely
for the retirement of disabled emer-
gency officers on equal terms with
all other branches of the military
and naval service.
If not propaganda the letter is a
display of cold selfishness and mis-
representation which could find no
possible equal or endorsement in the
whole organization of The Disabled
Emergency Officers of the World
War" of which Mr.. Charles Howard
is not a member. The unfortunate
effects of such statements as Mr..
Towards. il uncorrected, are shown
by the published reply of One Who
Knows the Caliber of Reserve Ofi-
GERS" with whose ire ever this mis-
leading letter the disabled officers
will be in thorough accord.
In the first place, the bill referred
to and passed by the Senate is de-
signed merely to place disabled
army emergency officers on the
same footing with disabled naval,
Marine. army provisional and other
emergency officers already enjoying
the privilege of retirement provided
for by the selective service act. the
Interpretation of which now eX-
cludes only one branch, the emer-
gency army officers, and is, there
fore, an unjust discrimination. The
retirement bill is not a demand for
new or added relief, but a result
for simple justice and equal treat
ment, obviously intended by the
selective service act, May IS. 1917,
which in section 10 says, "All Off
GERS and enlisted men of the forces
herein provided for, other than the
regular army, shall be in all re-
spects on the same footing as to
pay, allowances and pensions as Of
ficers and enlisted men of CORE.
spending grades and length Of serv
ice in the regular army"
As the only pension" provided
in. the regular army is retirement
pay, the intent seems quite clear,
yet the use of that word has ger
mitted a discriminat:ve inteI preta-
ton against one branch of emer-
gcncy ofIIcers. an error wh.''l: the
present hill is intended to corr sct
The justice of this bill is beyond
question.
In the next place, the bill is not
being held up in the House." since.
like all other legislation, IT must
be first considered and reported on
by the proper House committee to
qualify it for action.
Mr.. Towards feeling toward the
bonus bill would find no duplicate
in the ranks of the disabled emer-
gency officers. I'VE reserve (emer-
gency) officers" did not necessarily
suffer far more financially than the
enlisted man did"
The implication that the real
manhood, of this great country. who
arc certainly not holding out for
a bonus" but asking the redemp-
ton of a very spontaneous. general
and emphatic promise. has a ma
jGrity to lazy too work." is some
thing Mr.. Howard could neither
know nor substantiate.
As to the many former officers
who are not able to. earn over
$500 year on account of dis
ability" and want to gain part of
their war losses by retirement pay:
well. that Is the only piece of humor

Napoleon on the Bonus.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
4 The correspondent made a special
trip to st. Elizsbeth's Hospital the
other day to interview Napolean
Bonaparte on the bonus subject-a
strange mission, apparently. How
ever considering the present bilious
condition of the world. one finds 1t
rather diversion to speak to a per-
fectly sane lunatic.
Napolean was in a receptive mood.
He displayed particular delight
when presented with clippings from

the average soldier is ignorant re-

WILD GAME on Farm

Another method Of utilizing tn,
game on the farm and of making
IL render a direct return is to sell
or lease the shooting rights. Farms
are very generally posted. but
owners and tenants do not as a rule
attempt to obtain a direct return
by leasing the hunting privileges
How valuable these may be under
favorable circumstances is shown
by the experience OF one county in
North Carolina, where the cooper
ative leasing OF quail hunting nTiyi-
leges was made 10 pay most OF the
taxes on the farm. Individual land
owners who have quail or other
birds on their holdings may obtain
a substantial income BY allowing
spOrtsmen the privilege Of hunting
on their property and in addition
by furnishing them teams. hunting
dogs. and tire assistance of bows for
locating the game, and by providing
accommodations for sportsmen from
a distance.

FELLowsHsPs ESTABLISHED
IN MEDICINE.

About thirty men or women, pro-
fessionally trained along medical
lines. will each year have a chance
to become thoroughly qualified
teachers in medicine through the
establishment OF fellowships in
medicine administered by the Ma
tional Research Council.
A recent survey made by the d.
vision of medical sciences OF the
National Research Council revealed
the need of teachers in the scien-
tific branches of medicine and IN
I Laboratories. Medically trained
men and women are being attracted
by the financial opportunities In
the clinical and diagnostic branches
and the study OF anatomy. physical
ogy and physIoIical chemistry does
not appeal TO them.
The Rockefeller Foundation and
the General Education Board have
made appropriations totaling 800. =
600 annually available for a period
Of five years for the fellowships.
which are expected TO build up a
large body of men and women who
are fitted TO become professors In
the scientific and research sub
jects in medical schools.
To qualify for appointment as a
fellow, a candidate must have the
degree of Doctor of Medicine or
Doctor Of Philosophy. IL has been
announced. Fellows will be at lib
e-ty to choose the institutions or
universities in which they will
work. as well as the men under
whose direction they will carry on
their researches. During their fel-
lowship they will be required 10
gain some experience in teaching,
as well as DO some creative work
Appointments will usually be made
TO- year and the stipends are not
definitely fixed in amount. but are
intended to enable the individual
to live comfortably while Carrying
on his special work as fellow.
