ALL PHYSICIANS

TO COME UNDER C0NTR0L0F U. S. Entire Profession Will be Mobilized Because of Military Demands. (Br Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, July 19.Th go ernment is about to assume control of the entire medical profession, la tfc? United States to obtain sufficient doctors (or the fast growing army and at the tame time to distribute (hose remaining In the localities where they are most needed for civilian work. This mobilization is to be acconv pllshed either by enrolling all doctors In a volunteer service corps under pledge to accept whatever service, military or civilian, la assigned them by the governing body of the corps, or if the voluntary plan is not successful, by legislation providing for drafting them into government service. Medical officers of the government believe compulsory conscription, will not be necessary. Organization plans for the volunteer medical service corps already have been made and enrollment started in a few states under authority of the Council of National Defense. Instead of enrollment In this corps only those physicians not suitable for military service, either because of age, physleal Infirmity, dependency or institutional or public need, as planned at present,

the government is expected shortly to

throw open tne membership to all doctors and to bind them with a pledge "during the present emergency to accept service, military or civilian,

wherever, whenever and for whatever

duty he may be called by the ceotral governing board." Continuous Survey Plan. Under this projected plan the army and navy would take those physicians and surgeons best fitted for active duty and who can be spared from civilIan requirements. At the same time the government would maintain a continuous survey of the country and assign doctors to those communities in which there are too few practU tioners-

The practical operation, officials be

lieve, would eause little of releeatien,

i however, since physicians who are needed in certain communities, hospi

tals, schools or other essential civilian i services would not be commissioned in the army.

The professional baseball players who are quitting their teams cold to take jebs In shipyards are giving themselves black eyes. They are taking the sportsmanship the life of the fame out of baseball. Nothing good can be said of these men. But while we are panning, let's hand a few hot shots to the men who are traveling about the coun. try as alleged representatives of these o shipyards, coaxing these ball players away from their teams. These representatives form the new outlaws of baseball. They prey upon the weakness of the men and get them to jump in the belief that they will be exempt from military service. Some of these players have never handled any tool belonging to any branch of a shipyard. Many of them are earning, or were earning, more money in baseball than any shipbuilding concern conscientiously could give them for their services as workmen. In some cases these jumpers probably have good jobs simply to remunerate them for playing baseball for the yard in which they are em, ployed. The men back of. these shipyard teams believe interest In a shipyard league will be increased la tals manner. But the writer does not believsj that any given part of the publie, especially the rank and file of the men who are working day and night to build 6hips to carry foed and ammunition to our boys who are abroad will enthuse over a bunch of stars who quit cold on their former employers aad the baseball public at large to duck military service, We don't believe that the responsible officials la these shipyards are

aware ef the methods being used by these eappers to obtain material for baseball teams. These officials know only that baseball teams, rightly conducted, help keep up the spirit of the yards. They have to depend upon subordinates to build these teams. The men wjio are Inducing these players to make the change won't stack up well as patrlotie citizens. Incidentally we would like to inquire If the work these recruiters are doing could be considered essential enough to keep them eut of the "work or fight" class. They probably could serve the soldier boys in Franca some better way than in organizing BASEBALL TEAMS pF SLACKERS,

(By Agnoclatea Press) AMSTERDAM, July 19 Rear Admiral Kempt of the Britlgfe pavy has proclaimed the occupation of the

Murman railroad, by French, British

and Serbians, says Max Beumann, the Stockholm correspondent of the Berlin Vossische Zeitung, under a date of July 16. The admiral, be adds, also announced that the forces would advance southward, "in accord with the local Soviet authorities, and at the re quest of the local population for help.'L Behmann says that there are po Soviet authorities In the whole Murman territory. On the entire 400 mile stretch ef railroad only hajf a doz en points are there sort of rudimentary political organizations. The largest of these is at Alexandrovgk, comprising 3400 persons while the one at Kem has 300 members. These communities, Behmann declares were until some months ago Bolsbeyikl, but since they have split into numerous parties whose services go to the highest bidder. Behrmann further alleges regarding "a request for help from the population" that two obscure Russians, One an ex-convict and the other a former gendarme, have been travelling around in the interests of the allies collecting adhesions to the requests by threats or bribery. The newspaper prints an Archangel message to the Izvestia, of Moscow, which mentions the arrival there of Italian and Serbian officers and men, who it declares, were dls armed and expelled by the local Soviets. A zoologist named Schmidt, who has just returned to Petrograd from a trip to north Russia, reports, according to the Norddeutsche Algemmie Zeitung, that the British are busy making Kem a strongly fortified place and that the garrison is well supplied with food frcjp England.
