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. Physicians are of the opin
ion that under proper treatment a
large majority of the cases can be
cured.
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. "The welfare of the
individual boy scout is the aim of
our reorganization. I shall attempt
to make the scout headquarters a
clearing house for information."
The Omaha scout organization
w;is completely reorganized. Seven
teen scoutmasters were present. C.
R, Cook was elected president;
George A. Peters, vice president;
and Charles G. Triem, secretary and
treasurer.
It was decided not to participate
n the Fourth Liberty loan drive,
hut the organization -will concen
trate on the war savings stamp cam
paign. The scouts will act as guards
in the Ak-Sar-Ben parades as they
did last year.
At the end of the meeting a unani-
mous vete was cast to give all sup
port to the new scout head, Mr,
noyte.

The ' Kansas-Nebraska African
Methodist conference put a ban on
isuunuis auu iimcraiY vcsicrudv

bership in the conference were told

"God can't use ignorance," de
clared Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D.

Caucasia, has been evacuated by the

Hun Press Bewails
American Reject ion
Of Peace Proposal
Copenhagen, Sept. 19. The Ger
man press generally regards the
American answer to the Austrian
peace note, taken in connection
with the speech of Foreign Secre
tary Balfour, as final proof that the
allies seek the destruction of the
central powers, their peoples and
the dismemberment of their terri
tory. The Berlin Vorwaerts (socialist)
bitterly declares that the American
answer and the utterances of Sec
retary Balfour compel the conclu
tion that the entente will not con
sider peace by agreement. "'There
is but one thing left for us victory
or destruction," says the Deutsche
Tages Zeitung.

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?
Trio, Charged With Two

later they robbed the store of John
Sonbrink, 1111 South Twenty-second

By Progress of Omaha

which he had heard of it in the east. J

office in Omaha for over 30 years,
and has large investments in Ne

naturally has a sympathetic interest
in the material prosperity of Omaha.
