DIR. Paul c. Barton. executive Of

that perhaps too many doctors

recruitment campaign late In 1912.
This was true in some other mid
western states and in the South.
So true, II was halted on January

Detroit area.
But now more and more doctors
are coming home. The Surgeon
Generals office has promised to re-
lease 1900 doctors by January /.
1916. and 1900 additional by June
1, 1916, making a total OF 10000.
In a recent check in Washington.
Governor Harry Kelly said he was
satisfied that Washington officials
not only saw Michigan's need, but
everything was being done that

these didn't have any before the
war;
Some IS to 70 cities have sent in
requests for doctors to be released

Barton says, Some men are urg-

War Review
y. S. Ships Shell Jap
Steel Mill at Home
By Hovard p. Bailey

The most striking demonstration of
American seapower and general weak
ness on the part of the Japs came last
week when warships from newest bat
tleships down to deStroyers steamed in
close to the shoreline of Honshu and
Shelled into rubble large steel mill
at Kamaishi on the coast 275 miles north
of Tokyo. 1t was the climax of week
which saw three raids by over 1000 car
rier- based planes each on Japanese in
dustrial cities and an air attack ex-
banded into what even Tokyo admits is
round-the-clock, bombing.
No air resistance was encountered in
any of the raids which, destructive as
they we're, are merely token of what is
to come. 1t. Gen. Kenny, placed in full
command of all Army aircraft in the
Southeast Pacific declared during the
week that shortly American planes will
be attacking from 10 feet altitude to
10000 feet and day and night without
let up.
The Navy revealed that 81 American
warships, including three new battle
ships, had been damaged in typhoon
off the Ryukyu's on June 5th but that
all but the cruiser Pittsburgh have been
repaired and returned to service. The
Pittsburgh lost her bow clear back to
the forward main turret.
High lights of the week were:

British Face Real
Problem in Housing

Acute housing difficulties confront
Britain, since home building ceased at
the outbreak of war and one out of
every three houses has been destroyed
or damaged by German bombs Steps
are already being taken for pushing
government financed program without
delay Prefabricated houses, to be used
constructed, are ready to roll off the
assembly line, and the preparation of
sites has already begun. The tempo
rary houses are made in several de-
signs-all compact, functional, and
labor-saving. Designed by the women
of Britain" could be their trademark,
for housewives are the experts who have
passed the final plans Samples of the
factory built houses were set up and were
visited by thousands of men and women,
who were asked to criticize freely. Then
some families lived in them to try them
out; and the criticisms and suggestions
of visitors and guinea pig" tenants
we're all carefully considered before the
final model was built.
Principles laid down include: De-
sign and construction should keep pace
with rising standards of living; sound
balance should be kept between houses
and apartments; the standard of rural
housing should be as high as that
of urban housing. Many improvements
on prewar layout and equipment are
proposed, especially for heating, laun-
dry and closet space. Houses built
by municipalities between the wars
amounted to one-twelfth of the total
number of dwellings in the country;
after this war the proportion viii be
even higher.

JAPANESE ATTACK
IN NORTH BURMA

CALCUTTA, Jan. 20.- Up The
japanese have turned in their re-
treat from north Burma and at
tackled without success a British
brldgehead on the Irrawaddy north
OF Mandalay which threatens their
line of retreat to Thailand, it was
announced today.
Punjabls and Gurkhas met the
fierce enemy assault near Singu. 46
miles north of Mandalay, killed
some 2OG of the japanese, and held
firmly to their positions, it was
stated here at headquarters of the
Allied land forces of southea st
Asia.
This bridgehead on the east bank
OF the Irrawaddy poses a threat to
Japanese supply lines running
down from Lashio and southeast
ward into Thailand, and the SCOPE
OF the attack-in sharp contrast to
weeks of retreat-showed that the
enemy was aware of the menace.
The ccmmunique of the southeast
Asia Command at Handy, Ceylon,
reported the capture of Kabwet, 10
miles north of Singu. Kabwet was
the last Japanese foothold on the
west bank of the Irrawaddy north
OF that rivers Mandalay elbow.
Bearded signs clearing out Kab-
wet killed one high-ranking Japa-
nese officer in the savage fighting
that preceded the towns fall.
