I THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: v JULY 22, 1917, TJ A LOUISVILLE BUILDS CANTONMENT CAMP Kentucky City Feverishly En gaged in Preparing Audu bon Park for Coming of Troops. Louisville, Ky., July IS. Feverish preparations are under way for the construction of Audubon park, six miles from the heart of Louisville, of cantonments at which Kentucky and Indiana troops oi the selective army will be trained. Here will rise a city composed of about 1,200 build ings for the housing and care of more than 37,000 men who will compose the ninth division o'f the new army. AH must be ready by September In conjunction with the construc tion of the cantonments will go a tremendous amount of work by au thorities of the city of Louisville, and Jefferson county, and by public utility interests, that Louisville may redeem its promise to the War department to furnish a site and proper facilities. Camp Site Ideal. The site itself lies on gently rolling ground with almost perfect storm drainage, and covers approximately 2,000 acres. It is divided almost in half by the tracks of the Southern railway, which has physical connec . tion with every other railroad enter ing Louisville. On one side of the railroad tracks will rise the canton ments. On the other is a big maneu ver field nearly rectangular, having a hard soil with a minimum of trees, though with enough shade about the edges for resting purposes. That part of the tract upon which the canton ments will be placed is broken up into three plateaus in such positions that the buildings for an entire brigade may be placed on each. ' Metal surfaced roads lead south ward from the cantonments into a broken, sparsley settled country avail able at all seasons for practice march ing and extensive field maneuvers. This broken section, which extends fpr miles, also offers, army officers say, unusually good facilities for artil lery ranges. Several good rifle ranges also lie within convenient distance of the cantonment site, all backed by hjlls ranging from 100 to 500 feet in height. , ' j James B. Wilson,, chief engineer of the Louisville Water company, has charge of the construction work, and he, in conjunction with Harlan P. ' Kelsey of Salem, Mass., an expert in town planning, is busy determining the placing of the buildings to con form with the topography. Material has already been assem bled by the Louisville Railway com pany for a two-mile double track extension of one of its traction lines to the cantonments, and a S-cent fare into Louisville will prevail. Prepa rations are under way by the Louis ville Gas and Electric company for bringing electric service to the canton ments. It is estimated that the light ing and power requirements of the soldier city will approximate 3,500 , kilowatts '' I runs tor laying gas mains to tur tiish natural gas Jor heating and cook ing purposes are being held in abey . ance pending the decision of the War ,, department as to the character of fuel which will be used. Filtered water will be furnished by the Louisville Water company to the quantity of more than 2,500,000 gallons daily, and work on the mains will begin soon. City and county authorities will con struct sewers which will connect with the sanitary sewers of Louisville. AH this work will be carried to the confines of the cantonment site at no expense to the government, and the site itself -A-ill be furnished at no cost for two years and thereafter at a nom- inal yearly rental. Family Doctor May Crowd Out Specialists Commenting on the future of the physician, the editor of the Interstate ' Medical Journal says that the way : every branch of medicine is being re ' garded nowadays as a specialty it would almost seem that the general practitioner is about to disappear. He gives reasons for believing, however, that the family physician may come . into his own again. He says: "The minds of most of us have been much exercised with speculation on what is 'the future of our profession j and, in particular, of that large ele ment of it constituted by the general practitioner. Reviewjng the divisions and subdivisions of the subject with which we deal into specializations and sub-specializations and the increasing facilities in communication, one is , tempted to contemplate as a probabil ity the practical disappearance of the i general practitioner from all but the remotest districts.' "The principal loss that the com munity would suffer in such an even tuality would apparently be that there would no longer exist that personal relation between the practitioner and his patient which exists in the case of the family physician. "Nor is there any indication that either of the other professional activ ities of the family, the minister and the lawyer; is showing any tendency to increase his personal influence to . replace that lost by the physicians. . "In this issue we are publishing an article by Dr. Pottenger, which con tains a thought relevant to this ques tion, and which seems, to me, at any rate, novel. You will find that Dr. Pottenger seems to regard specializa tion as merely a temporary phase in . the elaboration of medical technic and ' science. He considers it necessary, in order to deal with a vast, amount of undigested material," to eliminate a great deal of what will subsequently be found tJ be unnecessary complica tion. He views as possible an ultimate simplification, which will result in the return of what is now special work into the sphere of a general practi tioner. Whether Dr. Pottinger's views are correct or net, the future alone can decide, but they certainly merit , thoughtful consideration. There is another aspect to this question which has received more consideration. Most of us are familiar with the story that the Chinese, pay their physician as long as they remain in good health. We can remember when this was considered one of the cardinal instances of oriental topsy turvyism, but we have become to ac customed to the idea of health insur ance that we now realize that the al leged Chinese plan is but one practi cal solution of that problem, econom ically, no doubt, an unsound solution, because the risk is not spread over a sufficiently broad base. "There is here, however, the germ f an idea which must have been in the minds of many of ,us. It will, it must scon become the practice of Prominent South Siders Drawn - . -. - - laftf L. - ' . :! GEORGE WRIGHT. The draft called many prominent South Side men to the colors. George C. Wright, 4756 South Nine teenth street, was .one of the first drawn in the big government lottery. He is only Zl years old. but he has already established himself as a com petent business man. He and his brother are proprietors of the Rock away restaurant at 2314 N street. When asked if he would claim ex emption, he said: Why no, I am sturdy and strong. His father, A. A. Wright, said: "I tell you, I only wish I could go." John C. Heafev of the undertaking: firm of Heafey & Heafey, is another well known South Side business man whose name was drawn. He is 25 years old and unmarried. His father, Morgan J. Heafey, died a short time ago and the son has taken his place in the business. His mother is dependent upon him for support. Patrick Kennelly. 1US A street, is Three Sons in One A To the Colors by "It is their duty to take up arms in defense of their country, but it's hard to lose them arf at once," said Aran Rubenstein, a tailor at 211 South Fourteenth street, when told that all three of his sons had been conscripted into the army. They are grown now and would be of some help to me if anything should happen, but I am willing to have them all taken it Uncle Sam need them." The mother of the boys is dead, but Mrs. Rubenstein the second feels their loss greatly. "When told of every man, woman and child, even In apparently good health, to undergo at regular intervals a proper medical ex amination for the purpose of prevjent ing cutting short, or treating any morbid condition. If such a practice be established it is fairly clear that it will, for each family, be carried out by a family physician, who will, perhaps, more than ever, stand in the position of the honored counsellor." ' , BismarWs Appetite for ; Eggs and Champagne Personal impressions of Bismarck and of W, E. Gladstone were recently given by McClure Hamilton, the world-wide "famous painter of great men." and one of the only two' paint ers to whom Bismarck gave sittings. He said: v 'Bismarck was a giant. He was much taller than the popular impression of his height is, and except for his won derful eyes and eyebrows, was not oicturesaue from the artists point of view. He was too round and pink. The eyebrows, however, were wonderful! They protruded three inches. "I painted his portrait in the palace at Kissineen, twenty-three years ago, just after the rupture with the em peror. I was waiting to see him in the salon, and at the time the crowd outside was clamoring for him to get out and speak to them, Bismarck came to me in a temper. "'Here are you bothering me inside, and there is the crowd outside,' he said. He was a veritable thunder storm in manner. "Well. I was on the point of leaving the palace, feeling very ruffled, when his secretary came to me and said that it was against all the laws of hospitality of the palace for me to leave without a meal. I must stay to breakfast with Bismarck: So I did. and Prjncess Bismarck persuaded her husband to sit for me. Bismarck spoke perfect English. He was rather vain about it, and on one occasion a poor professor who had come all the way from Bonn to get a word with him had to go away din appointed, as all through breakfast the prince refused to speak any other language. .He told me that he used to eat as many as two dozen esses at a meal in some form or other, as his doctor had said he could eat as many as he liked, and he used to consume, champagne at an average rate of three bottles a day.

'BRUT AE ASSAULT ON DEFENSELESS SHIPS" German Official Denounces the Seizure of Teuton Cargo Boats Off Holland by British Ships. Copenhagen, July 21. The British seizure of German ships was de nounced as a "brutal assault on de fenseless merchantmen" and a ''prof ligate act" by Dr. Kriege, director of the judicial department of the German foreign office, in replying to a ques tion in Reichstag. Dr. Kriege added that Germany had urged Holland to demand an apology for this unheard of violation in Dutch waters and a precise assurance that it would not recur. Dr. Kriege said Germany was en titled to and would expect immediate restoration of the captured ships and compensation for the cargoes of those sunk, also for the woundea seamen and their dependents. . Holland, he said, had already ex pressed regret at the occurance and declared it would demand the fullest satisfaction.- ' Submarine Toll Heavier. Washington, July 21. Figutes in the possession of the government, based upon the best information with in reach of the allies, make it appear that since the beginning of the Ger man ruthless submarine warfare the destruction of merchant men hith erto available for entente commerce has been at least four times the amount of tonnage built. The figures show the losses to be averaging about 1,000,000 tons "dead weight" monthly, this including the weight of cargo, whereas the weekly statements from London are based upon registered tonnage.
