PoINcARE HITS SOCIALISTS
Maintains New Government Must Adj
here to His Foreign Program.

Barbecue, France-The result of
the recent French election was due
to heterogeneous political coalition
which cannot survive in power and to
the fantasies of an obscure electoral
system, Premier Poincare declared be-
fore the general council of the Mouse
department.
In an address which is considered
his final utterance as head Of the
cabinet, M. Poincare asserts the new
government could not get away from
the foreign policies which the outgo-
ing administration followed for two
and half years and declared that the
new government majority would have
to be closely watched, but given fair
play.
The permier predicted that France
would fall into financial disorder If
the new government attempted to
carry out the promises which the new
government coalition had made to the
country. On the other hand, he fore
cast early disruption of the coalition
if those promises were neglected be-
cause the Socialists, whether repre-
scented in the government or not,
would require radical action on i'm
portant questions affecting the secur-
ity of France, French finances and
public order as the price of their sup
port.

HAS DONE MUCH FOR
WORLD WAR VICTIMS

Always finding time for the prob
lens of disabled ex-service men In his
state, though recognized as one of the
busiest specialists in the country, DR..
William e. Lorenz, Legionnaire or
Wisconsin, has won high esteem In
veterans circles.
Doctor Lorenz' work in aid of the
World war veteran followed his serv-
Ice at the front during the World
war, in that most dangerous of posi-
lions, head of a field hospital. A
field hospital Is sorting point for
wounded, and is close enough to the
front to make it extremely precarious. 1t
was there the Wisconsin man began
to recognize what wounded men must
face before they return to normal life
in their own country.
He was born in New York city In
1882 and obtained his schooling at
Trinity school and New York univer-
sity. During his freshman year In
college, though but sixteen years OF
age, he enlisted in the regular army
and served in the Spanish-American
war as private. He received his de-
gree of M. d. from New York univer-
sity In 1908, specializing in pathology,
nervous and mental diseases. In 1914
and 1915, he served with the United
States government as special expert,
investigating pellagra in the southern
states.
The Wisconsin Psychiatric institute
was started by Doctor Lorenz in 1915,
when he assumed the post Of director
of the institution, which has since de-
veloped into one Of the most impor-
tant research departments in the
state service. This led to his appoint
ment as professor Of nervous and
mental diseases at the University Of
Wisconsin in 1917.
Early in 1917 he recruited field
hospital in Madison, and received a
commission as lieutenant, taking COM
mand of the unit in June, and was pro-
noted to the rank Of major. The
company was designated as Field Hos
pital 127, and was attached to the
Thirty-second division. While In
France Doctor Lorenz developed a
special system for handling wounded,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-05-30

which later was standardized through.
out the First army. For the expedi-
ton with which the wounded were
handled he received the Distinguished
Service medal.
Doctor Lorenz' first service for the
disabled veterans began when he re
turned to Wisconsin. He was named
as member of the national rehabili-
tation committee Of the American LIE
gion, representative or neuropsy-
chiatry. While a member of this COM
mittee he became active in disclosing
the inadequacy Of federal plans for
disqualification. With Col. A. A.
Sprague and Col. Thomas A. Salmon
he appeared before the President when
such deficiency in disqualification was
reported to the nations executive.
It was through Doctor Lorenz' ac-
tiyity that the S25O,OOO Wisconsin Me-
mortal hospital was authorized by the
legislature of that state. In 1922 that
hospital was receiving and treating
patients, at this time the institution
serving the. double purpose of COM
memorating the dead and serving those
alive, is almost completed, giving the
state the lead in such provision of
care for the disabled by common
wealth.
AT the Wisconsin department con-
vention of the Legion in 1928 Doctor
Lorenz was named to the post Of vice
commander, but resigned this position
on his appointment to the state board
Of control. Veterans affairs, par
ticularly those concerning rehabilita-
ton are close to Doctor Lorenz
heart, and he always finds time for
such service. AS proof of this he
served on the service recognition
board of the state which admins
tered the soldiers relief fund, passing
on cases of disability without compen-
sation. He also assisted in perfecting
machinery for payment of the Wis
sonsin state bonus.
Recently Doctor Lorenz has been
much in the public eye because Of his
research for cures for diabetes,

The letter written short time ago

dence of the value of Pe-ru-na in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
1t reads as follows :-"While attend
ing Billy Sundays great revival at
Knoxville, Tenn, last February l con-
tracted cold which weakened my en-
tire system. I have taken only three
bottles of Pe-ru-na and feel like
new man. 1t is great system builder
as well as a great catarrh remedy"
To attempt to even estimate the
thousands who, in the last half CEN
fury, have come to know and appre-
ciate the merits of Pe-ru-na would be
wor:e than useless. The number is
astonishing and increasing daily.
