The Navy Department is very anxious
to have number OF local physicians
and surgeons as officers in the United
States Naval Reserve, it was announced
at the Reserve headquarters, in the
Washington Navy Yard. 1t was pointed
out that the local Reserve is short about
40 medical officers in its quota, and that
efforts will be immediately made to fill
this up. There are at present only five
medical officers in this city enrolled in
the Naval Reserve.
AS these officers are needed for the
volunteer branch of the Reserve, it was
said that they will be given commits
sions in a rank BETTING their expert
ence in the medical profession. Officers
in this branch are not required to put
in a regular drill schedule during the
year, but are expected TO take part in
conferences on naval subjects held from
time to time,
While many of them may be entered
at high rank in the Reserve, 1t was said
that if they entered the feet branch
they would have to take the lowest
medical rank, that of lieutenant, junior
grade. as a precedence list is main
tanned for this branch of the service.
The manner of obtaining commissions
in the Medical Corps, because of the
need for them at the present time, it
was explained, has been materially
simplified. Instead of the applicant
having to submit certificates to the
Navy Department, as in the past, he
will merely have to submit them to the
medical officer of the Washington Navy
Yard, who would examine them and
make a recommendation to the Navy
Department as to the desirability OF
appointing the applicant and the rank
which should be given him.
Any physician or surgeon interested
in this work should apply to the Naval
Reserve Headquarters, on the Eleventh
street side of the Washington Navy
Yard.
Charles K. Ludewig has been ap-
pointed a lieutenant, junior grade, in
the intelligence branch of the Volun-
teer Reserve.
A ruling has been made by the Navy
Department giving the commandant of
the Washington Navy Yard jurisdiction
over reserviSts residing in Maryland and
Virginia who are attached to the local
battalion Of the Reserve. Under the
method of laying out naval districts,

A serious fire broke out shortly after 6 o'clock this morning in an unoccupied tenement house at 58 Mill street. Under climate condi- tions such as prevailed last evening there is little doubt, but what the fire department would have been faced with one of the severest tests of its fighting ability in years. The house in which the fire originated is but one of a group of closely situated tenements on Mill street. With a wind blowing the flames from the burning structure would have ignited several others. Fire the roofs of adjoining houses were partly protected today by snow and ice. As 1t was, however, damages approimating $2,000 resulted.
 Fire Marshal D. J. Lahey and Captain William G. Russell ques- toned several witnesses during the day to determine the cause. The officials attributed it to an over heated stove on the second floor of the tenantless house. The fire had been started either by painters reconditioning the interior or by someone who sought a place of refuge from the severe weather of the night. A broken window in the rear of the house indicated that it was possible for someone to have gained access.
 The fire starting as stated on the second floor worked into the attic and broke through the roof. Fire and water also damaged the first

BY WILLARD R. SMITH

Madison, Wis, December Il - (UP) - The Wisconsin legislature met in special session here today to settle the question of What will the gentlemen have?" and "How will you have it?" in liquor legis- lation.
 Governor Albert G. Schmede- man favors the widest latitude of local option. He would permit sale of liquor over the bar of as many of Wisconsin's 14,000 beer taverns as the local citizenry desire. He would permit a city or village to be bone dryi its majority so dictated.
 Numerous Plans
 The administration plan will be offered along with 8 wetter pro- posal by the legislative pro- posal by the legislative interim committee on liquor control and several others sponsored by indi- vidual lawmakers. Their range runs from return of the old fash toned saloon to state liquor stores.
 Wisconsin was one of the wet test states both before and during prohibition, some of the returning legislators have pointed out. Many of them favor legislation uphold ing this reputation.
 The Governors bill recognizes this sentiment as prevailing per- haps in some lake shore cities and elsewhere, but also provides that any community may ban liquor sales or impose any restriction even to governmental monopoly on sale and distribution within it's city or village limits.
 To Dust BOOtleggers
 The tax to be proposed is calcu- lated to be low enough so that, coupled with the federal excise, it will not raise the price of legally manufactured liquor beyond com- petition with bootleg products.
 Increasing the alcoholic content of beer, the beverage which claims credit for Milwaukee's fame, and it's continued sale under a licens- ing act passed by the regualr ses- sion of the 1893 legislature is pro- vided for in the Governors call which limited the special session to the single issue of liquor control.
 The session call was delayed be- yond the date when prohibition repeal becomes effective nationally while the states executive at tempted to harmonize differing legislative viepoints and to as-

of 26 regulations, without warning or recourse to law, is granted to the secretary of agriculture under the bill. It is termed by MT Hoge as the most drastic and unwarrant- ed measure ever proposed. He does, however, favor a revision of the present food and drug act.
 After speaking to the Lions, MT Hoge will go to the League of, Wo- men Voters meeting at 61 Church street where he is scheduled to ad- dress a big mass meeting of wo- mems organizations at 2 o'clock. The league will have luncheon at 1 o'clock to which all women in terested are invited but all are urged to attend the talk.
