SOLDIER STRIKES
PATIENT, IS CHARGE
Walter Reed Orderly Is
Accused of IntoxiCation
and Assault.

Charged with having struck pa
tient last night while under the inf1u-
cnce of liquor. Private Raymond r.
Shipman. d Regular Army orderly at
Walter Reed Hospital, has been con-
fined to the post guardhouse pending
the convening of a court-martial to
try him, it was stated at the execu-
tive offices of the hospital today.
Officials are trying to find out
where the soldier got the liquor.
The patient, Victor r. Freedman Of
Johnson City. Pa, a veteran of the
World War. was cut on the face by
glass from his spectacles. which were
broken by the blow from the fist of
tho orderly, it was stated.
Termed Unfortunate Affair"
According to an explanation of the
incident given today by an official
of tho post. who termed it a very
unfortunate affair" the patient was
arguing with a nurse over the fact
that he had been given no eggnogg
for supper, although other patients
had received it, when the soldier,
hearing the discussion from a doorway
nearby, came forward and struck the
patient between the eyes.
The glasses on the patients nose
were splintered and blood streamed
from his face from the decorations.
Otherwise, it was asserted, he ap-
peared to be unharmed.
The soldier Immediately was arrest
ed and locked up.
Explanation by Omcinls.
Officials said that Freedman had
been given no eggnogg by the nurse,
because his physician had not ordered
it on the menu. The patient, it was
explained, is on a diet prescribed by
Il doctor and the nurse must follow
instructions. 1t was stated that the
nurse last night told Freedman that
the eggnogg had not been ordered
for him. but the patient. incensed, be-
came offensive and threatened to
take up the matter with the Veter-
ans Bureau. 1t was at this juncture,
it was declared, that the Army pri-
vate stepped forward and fioOred the
patient.
Officials empha sized that they re-
GREETED the affair exceedingly" and
would see that the soldier was court
martialed as soon as possible. I'VE
also would like very much to know
how and where Private Shipman OBJ
tanned the liquor which he evidently
had been drinking. an official an

BY ROBERT T.. SMALL.

An effort may be made next year
TO widen the scope of National De-
Tense day to make it in effect ma
tional inspection day. 1T is contended
by some of those who participated
in the test of last Friday that the
results of the experiment were large
ly theoretical. with just hint of the
spectacular in the parades, the flying
stunts and the sham battles. The re-
suits from national inspection day.
1T is claimed, would be extremely
practical and beneficial.
The idea behind the inspection day
plan is test of the fitness of Ameri-
can manhood. 1t would be a day on
which the men of the country of
military age would submit themselves
to the modified doctors Of each COM
munity for an examination as to
their physical fitness to serve in the
army of peace as well as in an army
organized for battle
lf there still is the great prepon-
derance of flatfoot in the Nation, such
as was discovered in the eyentful
days of 1917 and 1918, it is argued
that steps should be taken to correct
II. Military commanders cannot con-
.'lder alone the Willingness of men
to come forward and serve; they must
concern themselves with the fitness
VINO would be conscripted in the
event of war
Makes Physical Classification.
A national inspection day would
result In physical classification of
probably millions of men. There
would. of course, be nothing COM
puisory about the plan. No man
would be compelled to submit him
self to the cursory examination of
the physicians, but it is believed
that under the spur Of national
demonstration great majority of
the men of military age would glad
ly apply for classification.
1t generally has been recognized
that one of the greatest results of
the mobilization of Americas big
Army in the World War Was the
gathering of statistics as to the
health and general condition of the
men of the country. A national in
spection day every year or once in
five years would be in effect a phys
1cal census of so large a percentage
OF the manhood of the country as
would care to take advantage of the
occasion to learn more about them
selves.
There is no question but that such
test. if the doc.C of the country
could be persuaded to participate in
it, would bring about an improve
ment in health conditions in every
community of the country. All man
ner of incipient diseases might be
discovered and eradicated. Extreme
ly valuable data would be gathered.
Everywhere medical practice is turn
ing toward the prevention of disease
rather than the curing of it.
Like Fire Prevention.
The country already is committed
to a fire prevention" week. Presi-
dent Coolidge has just called for a
new celebration of such a week, be-
ginning with the anniversary of the
great Chicago fire, October 8. Army
officers, particularly those of the
Medical Corps, believe that it would
mean more to the country to have
physical inspection day or a
physical inspection week, If necessary.

DISCUSS AIR MAIL
FOR PORTS ON GULF
AirpIane Passenger and
Postal Service Planned From
New Orleans to Mexico.
BY the Associa ted Press.

by the Associated PreSS
NEW ORLEANS September It.
Airplane passenger and mail service
between New Orleans and Cuba. and
Mexican Gulf ports as a private en-
terprise is subject of discussion
mere. with many predictions that it
is 1lkely to become an accomplished
fact in the not distant future.
Suggested terminals would be Tam
pico. Mexico City via Vera Cruz.
Merida Yucatan via Progreso and
Havana The type of seaplane be-
ileVed suitable for the lines-air
cruisers such as are used between
Florida and Cuba and the Bahamas
but equipped with at least two mo-
tors-could make the hop from New
Orleans to Tampico 71O miles, in
about nine hours. The coon mile jump
to Mexico City via Vera Cruz would
require about IA hours. The Yucatan
run of $40 miles would consume about
eight hours. while the $50 miles to
Havana could be covered in approx
1mately the same length of time.
One of the suggestions in connection
with the Tampico and Vera Cruz
vile, Tex, with planes operating be-
tween New Orleans and Brownsville
and Brownsville and the South.
Postal officials are authority for the
statement that approximately 1850
pounds of first class mail dispatched
from New Orleans to Mexican ports
each week, for which the Government
pays 80 cents a pound. Incoming mail
from much of the territory is trans
ported free of charge by the steamship
companies, but it is believed the United
States and Mexican governments would
agree to pay $3.50 pound for all first
class, mail handled by the planes
should such service be established
The revenue derived therefrom, it is
estimated. virtually would support a
-tri-weekly service.
Establishment of regular air service
to Mexico recently was the subject of
a conference between A V, DYE.
American commercial attache at
Mexico City, and George E. Mcleod
district manager of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce
Subsequently Mr.. Mcleod conferre,
with A. f. Pradillo, foreign trad.
