London;” Jan. 3—That private prac- titioners in the medical profession will be practically non-existent before the end of the war and all patients will have to go to infirmaries to be treated was the opinion expressed at the annual meeting of the Glasgow Victoria Infirmary. The Lancet says: “There must come a day, if the war is indefinitely prolongéd, when the nec- essary economy of medical men:can only be obtained by mobilization of the whole of the available supply, so that calls can be made upon.individ- ual services when and where required. It has long been felt that some such step might be taken and we believe that the general opinion of the medi- cal profession, judging by the corres- pondence that comes to us, is in a . similar direction.” YOUNG LAWYER AS ASST.

BRITAIN DAILY iiEkALD\ 'WEDNESDAY, JAN UARY 3, 1017, Was Playing With Matches While | CAPTAIN JOHN L DUFFY, WHO HEPT THE CHEMUNG FLAG FLYING Captain John L., Duffy of New York, stockily built, square Jawed, weather.| tanned, arrived in New York from Until' November 28 the cap- tain was in command of' the Ameris can steamship Chengung. On that day a torpedo from an Austrian sub- marine sank his ship in the Mediter- raneaen off the coast of Spain. But Dufty would not lower the American flag at the order of the submarine's commander. The captain was not at all dismayed by his experience, and he said that he would take out another vessel just as soon as he could get one. He has made several trips to Archangel dur- ing the war, and submarines do not scare him a bit. “The Chemung went down with her flag flying,” said the captain. “We were out from New ‘York with a gen- eral ‘cargo and off the Spanish ast in the . Mediterranean when the sub- marine came along. A shot across our bows waa the signal for us to stop, and we did.” A In response to a signal from the submarine ' Third Officer Jacobson rowed to her, carrying with him the ship’s papers. The commander was for arresting the skipper, but appar- ently he was satiefled with -the 'de- struction of the steamer, ‘There 8 no argument over the lowering of the flag. The submarine commander signaled for the flag to be lowered, but the skipper paid no at- tention. He and his crew of thirty- four got into small boats, and the flag. was snapping from the staff as they pulled away from the side of the doomed liner. “We were hardly out of range when the submarine opened fire on the Chemung,”. sald the skipper. “She attempted to sink the ship by ride high out of water, the commander sent a torpedo into her. She sank within two minutes.” When the Chemung went down the submarine circled about and picked up the two small boats. Lines were passed by the submarine, and for two ours she towed the boats toward the shore. Then the Spanish steamship Salvadore Giner came in sight and the men on the submarine cut the towline, and a few seconds later dived beneath the sea. FIRST BOUT WITH WINTER | South :Arflcam Troops, Now in Europe; Having Initial Experience With | Chilly Climate of Northern Latitudes ‘With South African Contingent of British Armies in France. Jan. 3,— South African troops, men from the mines and farms of the gold country, are now serving their first winter in the field in France and are distin- guishing themselves with many deeds of daring and valor. Some of them fought against Britain in the Boer war, and among them there are several Americans who had made their homes | in the African mining flelds. One of | the most thrilling exploits of the South Africans was the recent act of a young subaltern. During a night operation he became separated from his company and found himself in- side the German lines. After a time he picked up six more men of his! company who had become similarly | detachcd. When dawn came the little | group found itself practically sur- ! rounded by Germans. The young subaltern found that his rifle and those of his comrades had become so | clogged with mud that they wouldn't work, but he drew his revolver and as the. first German approached he shot him dead. A German sergeant who started forward was also killed, and as daylight came two of the subal- tern’'s got their rifles working and succeeded in killing twelve members Africans got inside of the circle and deliberately marched their prisoners over the German lines and all .got home safely amid great jubilation among their comrades. i was formerly quoted at 25 cents; { now brings 60 cents.

Volo, Thessaly, Jan. 8.—The occu- pation of Cavalla by the Buylgarians and the ‘consequent turning of the richest tobacco land in the world into a fleld of battle has been the making of the growers of the tobaccos of in- ferior grade in Thessaly and the Pel- oponnesus an Associated Press corre- spondent finds. American tobacco firms have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tobacco stored in Serres and Cavalla. But the whole cogst of Eastern Macedonia is under the blockade of the French fleet, and there is no way to get the tobacco out. As a result the previously de- spised product of old Greece has mounted in price bevond the wildest dreams of the Thessalians. Volo is the port of Thessaly and the tobacco buyers from Egypt, England, Holland and the United States have flocked here to purchase the year's crops.:. The market is so upset that old diffcrences of a few cents no long- er obtain. It is impossible to predict | the prices to be paid—all depends on | how short certain cigarette manufact- | urers arc of the kind of tobacco they have always purchased in Greece for their blends. Argos leaf that used to sell at 4.3 cents a pound now com- mands a price of 42.14 cents, The to- bacco from Karditsa used to bring only 7.14 cents per pound; now it sells as high as 70 cents. Policastro it Almiras that a Year ago was worth 28.6 now brings 53.6. Even in Greece, where the consum- ers are not very particular about their tobacco, the prices of all cigarettes have been raised, a packet of 28 ci- garettes which previously sold at 14 cents now costing 15 cents, and others in proportion. The operations in tobacco, partie- uiarly by American firms whose tel- egrams and letters to their agents in Greece are delayed by censors of one sort and another, are often more in the nature of gambling on account of these delays. An American firm re- cently cabled its agent at Volo, in re- ply to an Inquiry about the purchase of a certaln tobacco stock: “Buy it if it can be secured at six and one-quar- ter cents.” The message arrived: “Buy it,” quite simply. The agent bought at the then price, twelve cents, causing his firm a loss in the tens of thousands of dollars, due to the cen- soring of the message. Tobacco agents here state that incidents of this nature are frequent. Famous Songsters Draw Picture -of Their Own Voices by Singing Delegates to the congress of scien- tists, assembled in New York at the convention of the American -Associa- tion for the Advancement of Scjence, saw the voices of Caruso, Tetrazzini and Amato dance before their eyes on the walls of a darkened room. The phonodeik, a recently invented ma- chine, consists of a supersensitive dia- mond of a gauzelike material, through which the sound waves pass, causing vibration. A series of highly polished mirrors reflect the vibrations to a re- volving triangular mirror disk, which in turn reflects them upon the screen. The sound wave reflec- tions appear upon the screen mag- nified 40,000 times the size of the vi- brations upon the diaphragm, Caruso’s voice, pictured at the top in- the accompanying picture, as seen through the phonodeik, varies from a clearly outlined curved line to a shadowy blur as his voice rises from a low, natural note to a high burst of valume. Photo shows the phonodiek and back of it a chart denoting differences between voices. Top record is Caru- s0’s. Next to it is Signora Tetrazzini’s, and below is Amato’s.
