f TIIE MORNING O RE G O NI AN. FRIDAY, JULY . 19, 1918. PHYSICIANS OF U.S. 10 BE MOBILIZED Government Will Soon Take Control of Medical Pro fession of U. S. 50,000 NEEDED FOR ARMY All Doctors in Country AVill Be En rolled, Including Those Disquali fied for Military Service Vol untary Corps Is Planned. "WASHINGTON, July 18. The Gov ernment is about to assume control of the entire medical profession in the United States to obtain sufficient doc tors for the Army and at the same time to distribute those remaining to the localities or services -where they are most needed for civilian work. This mobilization is to be accom plished either by the enrolling of all doctors in a voluntary service corps under pledge to accept whatever serv ice, military or civilian, assigned them, or. If the voluntary plan i not success ful, by legislation providing for the drafting of them into service. Medical officers of .the Government believe compulsory conscription will not be necessary. 3Vo Exceptions Made. Acommittee of Army and Navy sur peons completed today recommenda tions for inclusion in the volunteer 'medical service corps all doctors, in stead of only those disqualified for military service. Of the 143,000 doctors in the United States, it is estimated between SO, 000 and 95,000 are in active practice, and 3,000, or about one-fourth, are in the Army or Navy. Nearly 60,000 will be required eventually for the Army. It became known today that Surgeon-General Gorgas, of the Army; Braisted, of the Navy, and Blue, of the . Public Health Service, are considering a plan for the commissioning of all teachers in medical schools and as signing them to their present duties. This would constitute a means of pre venting further disruption of medical teaching staffs, and at the same time recognizing the public service of these men. Enrollment Already Started. Organization plans for the volunteer medieal service corps have already been made and enrollment has started In a few etates under authority of the Council of the National Defense. Instead of enrolling in this corps only those physicians not suitable for military service, either because of age, physical infirmity, dependency or in stitutional, or public need, as planned at present, the Government is expected ehortly to throw open the membership to all doctors, and to bind them with a, pledge "during the .present emer gency to accept eervice. military or civilian,-, wherever,, whenever and for whatever, duty h may be called bythe central governing board."

COST DECLARED TOO HIGH Portland Heights Residents Protest Expense of Building Sewer. The proposed assessment for the building of the Tanner Creek sewer has caused considerable indignation letnonjiiice . For Freckles: :xi,-l'. rjvlaka beauty lotion at' home for a few" cent. :-Try. it!-, ' Squeeze the juice of two lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white, shake well, and you have a quarter pint of the best freckle and tan lotion and complexion beauti- fier at a very, very small cost. Your grocer has the lemons and any drug store or toilet counter will supply three ounces of orchard white for a few cents. Massage this sweetly fragrant lotion into the face, neck, arms and bands each day and see how freckles and blemishes disappear and how clear, soft and white the skin becomes. Tesl It is harmless. Adv. WEAK, DISCOURAGED WIFE Advised by Friends to Try Vinol What It Did for Her. Florence, S. C. "I was in a weak nervous; run-down condition, took cold easily, could hardly keep around and lo my work and was all discouraged, I had taken cough eyrups and tonics without benefit, until a friend asked me to try Vinol. I gained rapidly by its use, so I am now in good health." Mrs. Addie Wilkerson. The reason Vinol was so successful In restoring Mrs. Wilkerson to health. Is because it is a constitutional remedy, which enriches and revitalizes the blood and creates strength. The Owl Drug Co. and Druggists everywhere. Adv. among the residents and property own ers on Portland Heights. The manner in which the Portland Heights prop erty has been taxed, it is claimed, is out of proportion to other sections of the city, as the assessment for each lot runs from $40 to $60. The people claim to be willing to pay their share, but think a mistake has been made in ad justing the cost of the sewer, as the district is so remote from the improve ment that it will give them little bene fit. The matter has been taken up by the Portland Heights Improvement Associ ation and President George W. Hoyt and Secretary Fred W. German will head a delegation of citizens who will attend the next meeting of the City Council and ask that levying of the as sessment be postponed until such time as the residents can be made fully acquainted with the conditions sur rounding the building of the sewer and the methods employed in making the assessment. YANKEES OUTDO HUNS BATTLE - SCARRED . TELLS OF JULY 4 SERGEANT "SHOW." Sick- and Wounded in London Hos pitals Cheerful and Optimistic, Cared For by XT. S. Doctors. LONDON, July 18. The American soldiers who have arrived at London hospitals in the last few days are cheerful and optimistic lot. They are grouped mostly in four or five metro politan hospitals and as far as possible have been put together In wards where they can provide plenty of companion ship for one another. The Americans include both sick and wounded. The wounded are largely from the Fourth of July "show," by the Americans and Australians south of the Somme. "The Yanks and the Aussies get along fine together," said Sergeant Torrey, of Olean, N. T., to the Associ ated Press, "and the combination is too much for Mr. Hun. The Germans are forced to admit that it is all up when they see" the Americans and Aus tralians coming after them." The ward in which Sergeant Torrey and a dozen other Americans were be ing treated also contains' 10 Austral ians. Most of these men already are convalescent and spend the day swap ping yarns on the sunlit porch. American women visit the hospitals daily and distribute American news papers and magazines, cigarettes, choc olates and. other delicacies from the stores of the American Red Cross. Every American woman Visitor at the hospitals Wednesday carried a supply of American flags and before the day was over every bed occupied by an American soldier had a silk flag hang ing proudly above it. Virtually all the Americans in Lon don hospitals are being cared for by American doctors. COAL PRICES TO ADVANCE Ercight Increases and Labor Cost Responsible for Rise. As a result of investigations con-Dai- ducted in the state by George T. ton, special representative of the Fed eral Trade Commission, prices of coal are to be immediately lifted, according to Fred J. Holmes, state fuel adminis trator. Higher prices are made necessary to meet freight advances, approximating per cent. Advanced labor costs have not fully been cared for in present price schedules, it is also said. Just how much the price of coal will be revised upward and just when the advances will b,e made Mr. Holmes could not say. Slight 'readjustment of delivery charges in Portland probably will be made. Mr. Holmes said, this adjustment being in the nature of a reduction which will affect the outlying districts particularly. On the old basis the de livery charge was raised 25 cents for each 20 blocks the coal is hauied be yond prescribed downtown sections. GERMAN MAY BE INTERNED George A.

MOTOR DRIVERS ARE BRAVE Troops Are Transported to Different Parts of Battle Front as Needed for Pour Days Without Rest by Automobile Men. ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, July 18. (By the Associated Press.) Notable work has been done by allied aviators during the new German offensive. The bombarding, observa tion and battle planes have been con stantly busy and the mastery of the air has been maintained throughout. The air forces constantly harassed the attacking columns of the enemy and supplied information from moment to moment to the French staff. One of the principal elements which worked toward bringing the German offensive to a halt was the splendid co-operation of the transport and in formation services. In Champagne, lorry drivers passed four days and nights without a moment's repose, hur rying troops from one section of the line to another, often under heavy fire. Pigeons Do Good Work. Carrier pigeons proved most impor tant in the Champagne fighting, where the French advance posts were often cut off from the main body. The birds constantly brought back messages concerning movements of the Germans. In one instance a pigeon brought a request that French artil lerymen fire on a position occupied by their own comrades, because the tier mans were surrounding them. The gunners complied, mowing lanes in the German waves. Their wonderful ac curacy of aim spared their comrades, many of whom made their way back. The enormous losses of the Germans during the crossing of the Marne must have been fully equaled in the Cham pagne sector, where their assaulting waves were hurled vainly against deep barriers of barbed wire under the fire of hundreds of machine guns. German Dead Cover Hillsides. Monday when the Germans were bringing forward reserve divisions near the Moronviller hills the French gun ners got their exact range with telling effect. When the smoke cleared great heaps of dead and wounded men and horses were plainly visible on the slopes. FIRE LICKS UP HOUSES ROGUE RIVER TIMBER BLAZE SPREADS TO FARM S. C.
