NAVY MEDICS ARE
LEAVING SERVICE
Civil Life Proves Too Attractive and
Navy Medical Forces Are
Being Badly Depleted.

Washington, D. C.-Graduates Of
medical, dental and pharmaceutical
colleges and of nurses training schools
are finding the opportunities of civil
life so attractive that the medical de-
partment of the navy is hacing in
creased difficulty in getting suitable
trained personnel for its work.
Sergeon General E. R. Stitt, in his
annual report made public today, de-
clared that despite an intensive cam
paign during the year, including the
sending of 10000 personal letters to
young doctors, it was not possible to
keep the medical corps up to its
authorized strength.
at is apparent" DR.. Stitt said, chat
the inducements offered by the navy
are not sufficient to attract the young
physician. 1t seems therefore that
some legislative action will be neces-
sary in the near future if the medical
corps of the navy is to be recruited
up to the strength for which appro-
priation was made by Congress or
even if the vacancies occasioned by
resignation, retirement and death, are
to be filed"
Health conditions generally in the
navy during the fiscal year were t'bet-
ter than average" the report said.
The death rate of 1923 per 1000 was
''the lowest the navy ever had" and
admissions to the sick list also were
unusually low.

Plan TO Advertise
State of Wisconsin
Colonization Companies Unite in the
Northern Part of the State to
Advertise Wisconsin.

Green Bay, INSTRUMENTATION Of
colonization companies and farm land
dealers for the purpose of advertising
Wisconsin to other states as state
with a large agricultural development
still before it, to promote the general
agricultural interests of the state, is
being affected as a division of the
Wisconsin Association of Real Estate
brokers, according to an announce
ment by F. G! Haigh, executive
secretary.
A preliminary organization meeting
has been held at Eau Claire with
brokers from the Chippewa valley
present. R. L. Zimmerman of Ho1v
combe was elected chairman of the
division.
According to officials of the asso-
citation, during the past year nearly
two tourists visited Minnesota for
every one that visited Wisconsin.
This is attributed by officers of the
brokers organization to an extensive
advertising campaign carried on by
Minnesota real estate brokers.
approximately three thousand real
estate brokers in Wisconsin are in
terested in farm land sales and de-
velopment of which number 500 are
members of the state association, it
is pointed out.

BELDEN CALLS FOR
MORE ARGUMENT
CONTINUED from page y

derstood that he is anxious in behaH
of the county and the two parties in
litigation, to have the matter settled
before the opening of the new year,
when the heavy work of the courts be-
gins again.
Want Ultimate Decision.
1t will be remembered that the SUE
preme court decision reversed the pre-
vious decision of this court, but did
not answer definitely the question Of
who should be in power, Frank SYM
monds or Morris Barnett. BY the re-
versal, Barnett is automatically in the
position he was as district attorney,
before his certificate of election was
attacked by Symmonds.
Barnett's counsel, however, made
nothing of the situation under which
they could claim that Barnett is i'm
power now. To insist upon this letter
of the law, that MIR. Barnett take Of
fee now while Judge Belden ponders
the decison further would only
throw an unnecessary confusion into
the case, the Barnett attorneys held.
"We want to know who is district
attorney from now on" said Calvin
Stewart 'the matter of few days is
not important. AS soon as the SUI
preme court returned its decision re-
versing this court in Mr.. Barnett's
favor, as it seems to us, we did ask
that he take Office at once. This was
denied because this court had had no
official notice of the decision of the
supreme court that is, the necessary
papers had not lbeen sent down from
Madison. Now we are willing to wait"
Supreme Court Not Clear.
The supreme court in it's decision
held that the 500 odd voters called IL
legal by Symnonds were in fact legal
voters and entitled to have their bal
lots counted. This placed the matter
in the same condition as when Morris
Barnett went into office on January L
year ago upon the certificate of cleo
tion issued to him. He had then a
majority of twenty votes. However,
the supreme court, in addition to sus-
tanning Barnett and his attorneys in
the matter of the so-called illegal"
votes, also Nsustained Symmonds and
Judge Belden by holding that 26 abb
sent voters votes unendorsed by the
election officials should be counted.
These added % to Symmonds' count
and 8 to Barnett. This would make a
tie between the two candidates.
San the court may take into con-
sideration such minor matters as were
| thought too trifing at the time" adds
the supreme court, in returning the
case to Judge Belden for further find
| ings.
Frank Symmonds claims that by con-
sidering certain trfAing matters he
will, if the matter. is considered from
his light, have quarter of vote ma
jority in one case, or a vote and frac-
ton majority in another case.
Attorneys for Morris Barnett claim
that his certificate of election has not
been sufficiently attacked; that moth
ing has been shown, and that the bur-
den Of proof rests upon Frank Sym
monds and that he has not shown that
Barnett is not entitled to the office and
that he is.

GERMAN UNEMPLOYED
OVER THREE MILLION
Leader of German Labor Claims Army
of Unemployed There Totals
More Than 3,250,000.

Berlin-There are today at least
3,250,00O totally unemployed workers
in Germany and 100000 others who
were on short time, Theodore Lei
part, the Samuel Gempers of Ger
many, told the United Press in an
exclusive interview.
Moreover, Leipart pointed out, those
who are fortunate enough to have
work are paid less than in pre-war
times, while prices are at least one
half more than in 1918.
Leipart, who is undisputed leader of
organized labor in Germany, warned
that certain industrialists are ex-
plotting the workers extremity and
further. This will eventually affect
wages of workers in other lands, he
said, for employers will say to their
men: eve, too, must reduce be-
cause Germany's low wages create
serious competition"
GERMANY labor unions will fight the
in1ustrialists to the bitter end, to
prevent their members from starving
and the employers from lowering
wages abroad, Leipart said.
The unions, iancially Frustrated by
collapse of the mark, are unable to help
out their idle members with doles.
Nineteen per cent of all Germany's
workers are idle, with forty-seven per
cent on short time, according to union
figures, which make it appear that less
than one-third the country's man pow
er has full employment.

PAY $1,000 TAXES
IN FIRST HOUR
Early Tax Payers Delight
City Officials With Pay
ments Today.
WAITING AT OFFICE

A pleasant surprise was waiting for
city officials this morning when they
arrived at the city hall to open their
offices for the day.
This surprise was that several tax
players were there waiting for the
books to be opened in order that they
might pay their taxes for the year.
It was the first day for the payment
of taxes apd within the first hour more
than $1,000 had been paid into the city
treasury by early taxpayers.
The first to pay his taxes was Hans
Kaufman, who was waiting at the
Office of the city treasurer this morn
ing and received the first tax receipt
for the year. The largest amount to
be paid this morning was the pay
ment made by the First National bank
in excess of $4,000. Seventeen tax
receipts were issued in the first hour
to thirteen taxpayers.
All Paid by Januray 81:
The tax warrants were issued De-
cember 18th and most of them are now
in the mails to the taxpayers. The
collection started this morning and
taxpayers have until the 31st of Janu-
airy to pay without being delinquent.
1t has been customary for many of
the largest taxpayers to pay their
taxes early and it is expected that
within very few days the Golfers of
the city will be swelled considerably
by tax payments.
Taxpayers are warned not to wait
until the last few days when there
will be great inconvenience because
of rush and the necessity of stand
ing in line at the Office of the city
treasur@.
