The llrst United States soldier to be killed in the war and the first to be wounded were both in the medical corps. This fact must have Impress ed the American people with the serious risks which are taken by army doctors. Before we entered the war the bravery and sacrifice ol medical ofilcors at the Iron had probably een too little appreciated. An a matter of fact, the ofilcors and enlisted men In the medical corps are the only soldiers who go into no man's land" with no defense whatever. The tireless work on the battle field of the stretcher bearers, all of whom are in the medical corps, Is full of danger. No profession has volunteered Its services to the country more geuei ously than the medical profession. About 24.000 physicians, or nearly one-fourth of the eligible physklunt of the country, have expressed tnoii willingness to resign practice and go to war. Some have already receiv ed their training and have gone to Prance. Somo are waiting to ur called, and about 3,000 are now in the camps receiving tne spociai in struction that will At them for a mill tury life. When a physician receives word that his offor to Join the army has been accepted, he Is ordered to ro- Dort for duty at ono of the two training camps whore army surgical schools are located. One Ib at Fori Riley. Kans.. and the other is ut Port Oclethorno, Tonn. The doc tors live In barracks at those camps juBt like any soldier in the natonai army. The comploto course or train ing which they undergo lasts throe mcnths. The first month Is glvon over to teaching them the simple rules and routine of military discipline. 1 hoy learn to drill and to command com panies of men, and they Btudy the or ganization of tho army and the func tions of its different parts. During the second month they occupy them solves with tho spoclul duties of medical officers. -They are taught how a field hospital Is run, how hos pitals are managod behind tho lines, and the new conditions and problems which confront an army on the Knro pean battle fronts. During tho third month they concentrate upon some special branch of medical work. Some are specialists In X-ray photog raphy, some in hoad surgory, and othors in the varlotiB othor dopart montB of medlclno and surgery. About half the graduates of thoBe ramps are sent away for service In tho front UncH. Tho men picked for thlB are tho younger men nnd those who are more robust and able to withstand the necessary hardships. The rest go into tho different hospit als and Institutions behind the lines. About 10 per cost go Into head sur-goi-y, 10 per cent into Roentgenol ogy, 35 percent into general surgery, another 10 per cent Into cardiovas cular practice, nnd so on. The pro portion of men assigned to any given branch Is determined by tho need for specialists in that lino. Of course it has not boon possible to train In tills fashion ail of the physicians In tho medical corps- Tho need was so presning that many had to be taken diroctly out of civil life and given a uniform. It is tho pur pose of tho surgeon goneral's stuff to do this as Utile as possllilo In the future so that tho of 11 corn in the medical corps may all havo a knowl edge of military 1orlint(UO. In on attempt to hamper tho work of the food administration, stories aro being circulated, particularly In rural localities, to the cited that while our people are being naked lo biivo whoat the Gorman prisoners In our lntoriiment enmps are belli, lav ishly fed on white bread, pastries, and cakes mailo wholly of wheat: that food is being purposely wast'd by the prisoners; and that none ef the food administration's rules of conservation are lining obeyed. These! stories nro all untrue. All civilian c A WOMAN'S SHOP FOR WOMAN'S WEAR We CatertoYourWants and specialize to meet the de mands of our army of customers THE BELLOWS STORE I THFy LADIES' EXCLUSIVE CONSERVATION STORE German prlsonors are being com pelled to assist In the conservation of our food supplies. They are al lowed only 1V4 pounds of wheat per person oacn weeg. no waste i poi- muiea. neir ruuuus mo buiumu, to keep them well fed and healthy, and they are not subjected to any hardships, but neither are they In dulged in auy extravagances. In ac cordance with the provisions of The Hague convention, our prisoners of war receive the regular garrison ra tion of the United States army, no more and no loss. This Is the cstab. lishtU practice of all civilized na tions. Word comes from New Haven, Conn., of a common report tiint "any Irishman who takes out naturaliza tion papers in this country will not be allowed to enter Ireland after the war, even to Visit relatives." This Is one of tho many anti-nngiisn lies with which the kaiserltes In this country are trying to enibittor our Irish citizens against our British al lies. It need hardly bo said that any Irishman who takes out naturaliza tion, papers becomes an American citizen and will be protected in his rights as an Ainoritan citizen wherever he goes. When, through their negligence, a Chicago banker was killed In a trtfln wreck : two Japaneso watch men committed suicide. They felt they must follow up the banker and explain. Surely courtesy could go no further. During the past few days our boys have gathered In six thousand Huns. This, added to former captures in the present drive, makes a sum total not to be frowned upon. They're getting 'em a-going nnd a-comlng. President Wilson greatly appreci ates tho freedom of the city of Flor ence. Italy, that hue beeu tendered him: but what Uncle Sam wants Is the freedom of the city of Derlln and he Is going after it. Govornor Whitman In li is New York speeches says It is our duty to forget politics just now, and no doubt lie would like to, but somebody keep reminding him. Isn t It shame! Ten million and Home odd dollars aro taken In dally by tho internal revenue department. What of it Oh, nothing; but that's a nice little butch of money lsn t It? OF FRUIT, VEGETABLES Tho following letter was received by Mrs. W. A. Smlck this morning and presents a situation thut can bi easily met by tho good people ol tn county generally, who will want to donuto food stuffB for the dependents of a worthy Institution. Great quail titles of third grade apples nnd per haps other fruits, such ns are very frequently used In the home of the people hero, can be shipped to the reBctle institutions under manage ment of the Kescuo l'rotectivo Socl oty, and It will be gladly ruieivod. While it may be a littlo early l'oi most sorts of fruits or vegetables yet the matter Is timely, ns It will start the people In tho right channel loading to extension of this aid later The mattor can be taken up wltli Mrs Smlck, who will gladly supply any additional Information that may be desired, or a letter to W. (I. Mac l.aren, Front and Hurnsldo streets. Portland. Oro., will bring Immediate rcBpnnso regarding contributions to this worthy cause. The letter fol lows: "This Is tho time when patriotic Americans must encourage oeonom liv eliminating waste. I havo buen tuld Hint there aro boxes by the thousands of third grnde apples go inn to waste yearly for the want of a niurltot.

GERMANS SAY THAT WITH TIIK liRITISir ARMY IN FRANCIS, July 20. The Scottish troop.H who yestordny inornliiK oc cupied Mnteron, two miles went or rtuilotil, lire accused by tlieir.dificom fltod Prussian prisoners of having taken the vIWuko by a confidence trick. One officer dcclnred frnnkly that ho remintcMl tho victory of the Scots ns "unfair" because it was achieved in broad daylight. Tho Scottish battalions nttneked at 8 o'clock, when tho weary Rarri son of the ruins of Meteren had set tled down iu their shell boles at the edso of the village to endure an other ilny of bombardment, inler niiugled with gas. When the ltritish batteries sud denly laid a terrilic barrage on ther linked machine gun postH. enclosing tho village on the north and west, the Oormans thought it wns an ordi nary harrassing tire, intended to kit' without the support of the infantry They put on their gas helmets again Then smoke clouds drifted across the onemy from the Tlritlsh trenches. Suddenly glancing up, the Her mans found strangem in kilts look ing down on them from tho lips ol their craters and realized the fancied routine bombardment covered a serl ous attnek which bad cut them off before they knew that No Man? Land had been crossed. tUAltlIAS NOTK I-1 Ol'1 BAMS Ol' It E A 1 1 ESTATE. In the County Court of tho State of Oregon for Douglas County.
