THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1918. DR.MARTIN TALKS TO PHYSICIANS OF ARMYStRVICE Member of General Medical Board Speaks to Missouri : Valley Medical Society. Dr. Franklin Martin, member of me advisory commission of the Council of National Defense and chairman of the "council's general medical board of Washimrtnn w. in Omaha Thursday evening to ad dress tne medical society of the Missouri Valley. Dr. Martin spoke on work of the volunteer medical service corps. "We are listing the doctors of the country through the volunteer med ical service corps. Ten days ago we sent out 90,000 applications. When I left -Washington to come . here, we had heard from 40,000. This service is voluntary, enabling us to act as a clearing house in deter mining what doctors should be taken for active service. ""The doctors, as a class, arc the most patriotic in this country. If the man-power of America had vol unteered as did the medical men, we would have had an army of 9,000,000 men at the start." . Casts No Reflection. Dr. Martin made it . plain there was no reflection upon medical men who stay at home. During the eve ning he .gave out a statement signed by Edward P. Davis, president of the volunteer medical service corps, and .himself urging against any movement that would threaten .to impair a medical man's local, state or national standing because he refused to enroll in the army or navy or the volunteer medical serv ice corps. - The 'Statement also advised that the volunteer medical service corps i i 1l- :j: i.. n au as us jjuiyusc piuviuiug uic needs of civil communities and in stitutions and that medical men who serve in this capacity are helping to win the war as much as those who are fiehting on the front. Dr. Martin emphasized the im portance of the everyday speech of the individual. He said: woe De tide the prattler who is privileged to raise his voice at this time when the' great searchlights of history will have been turned on these few tuper years of all the centuries." Treating Shell Shock. Doctors in attendance were great ly interested in a paper read by Dr. Gershom H. Hll of Des Moines on "Psychic Treatment for Psychopath ic Patients." in which he illustrated the varieties of dementia. Shell shock is the name by which the nervous disease is familiarly known.

The evening session opened with a paper on "What Medical Science Owes to the Military Surgeon," by Col. J. M. Banister. jut Masters Pledge Operation With Head "Co-peation and efficiency will be my; standard," said Scout Head G. M.'Hoyte at the scoutmasters' meeting Thursday night in the scout headquarters.

HOW DEMOCRATS GET CAMPAIGN CASH (Continued From Par One.) ious finish and during the recon sfruction period which will follow?" The foregoing is truly a gem in the face of the- fact that democrats everywhere admit that republicans in congress have been more unani mously behind the president than have the members of his own party. This is proven by the fact that at the time Senator Hitchcock arose in the senate and criticized the admin istration that a democratic senator in answering the Nebraska man said, "We have got to admit that the re publican minority in this congress nave been more unanimously back of the president in what he has wanted to carry on this war than have the members of our own party in this congress." Mr. Jamieson's letter, besides hav ing a tragic tone to' some extent goes into comedy when he says that if "democrats and patriots get to gether it will not be a very great hardship on anyone." Is this an admission on the part of the democratic national treasurer that he thinks democrats are not patriots?
