It is 'hoped these men occupy. Many have advised them to walt ‘until' the draft is put into operation. They have that choice. ‘They also have the choice of enlist- ing volunmtarily. There could be no better time to carry out the later © \lcs. than this week, set aside by the President as ‘“regular army week.” Those who go in the army now will | have many advantages over their compatriats who enlist later; more- over those who are not drafted into the national army, the men who en- list this week, will be first in line for promotion. They willi be immediately set to the task of learning all there is to be learned in the art of soldiery. With this knowledge they will be best fitted to take charge of the new men marshalled in before the complete army is ‘organized. Starting at a yearly pay of $360, which is separate ahd apart from all rations and cloth- ing, these men may soon advance to the rank of corporal and sergeant. The pay for these latter positions is over and above the pay of any other army 'in the world. Our non-com- missioned officers are better paid th: those of any other nation. Also, they are at all times eligible for com- missions. Men of intelligence who enlist as privates may very soon be- come lieutenants and captains. The appeal for recruits to the army will be successful. It must be suc- cessful. America has never yet fal. len down on any job it has ever un- dertaken. And it cannot score a fail- ure in this year of 1917. From th very first day of our entrance into the war everything the United States has: undertaken has beep successful. First, the Liberty Loan of 1917. Then the the thirty-one. Then the great campaign for . the American Red Cross which closed yesterday. And how, recruiting week for the army. The men and boys of this country will ‘mever. stand idly by and see Old Glory call in vain for supporters. BELGIUM!S CHAMPION, ‘When the Belgian mission came to this country there were many who de- plored that its roster of names did not contain that of the venerable prelate, Cardinal Mercier. There is no man in the world who could have made a gredter appeal to the Ameri- can people, loving as they do all that is fair and square. The grand old Cardinal has stood up for almost three vears against the onslaughts of the Germans. He has refused to be silenced. He has written pastorals Wwhen the writing was fraught with dire possibilities. Yet the Imperial German Government has been power- less to stop his messages to the world. He has never surrendered, he will never surrender. His is the spirit of America born on a foreign soil. *'In writing ta the German Governor General of Belgium that his priests will ever refuse to have a hand In Probably the reason why Constan- tine’s abdication worries Willum much is because it is' humiliating for the war lord of Europe to have a common bum for a brother-in-law.— Dallas News.

How It Aids Ita Membership and Serves a Purpose. June 25, 1917. To the Editor of the Herald: % We wish the public to know that the Universal Co-operative Soclety is a voluntary association without cap- ital stock, organized as ' the Sov- ereigns Trading Co., was 'originally organized and as it was conducted for a great many years. Its funds are provided by its mem- bership from the sale of memberghip tickets. Its membership is confined to ‘those working in the factories of Landers, Frary & Clark. Its officers and directors serve without salary. Its purpose is to provide groceries to its members at the lowest possible cost. * Its financial connection - with & Clark is only that that company provides at a nominal figure the room in which the store is conducted. The officlals of Lan- -ders, Frary & Clark are by the by- laws to be excluded from any official connection with the Universal Co- to | the deportation of Belgians, that they | operative society.

Even if the allied forces of practically ‘the entire world have not as yet thrawn the fear of God into the h of German oppressors hold- ing forth on' Belgium’s soil, these words should have some effect in this direction. Those “who believe in eternity must know that the ven- geance of the Lord of Hosts will meet the men responsible for the rape of Belgium. The Belgians can afford to await in patience for such a ven- geance. It will be a just and a fair one. So far 4s earthly vengeance goes, the Belgians, as their Cardinal says, have that. The regime of occupation Wwhich the Germans force these people to undergo is despised the world over as the Cardinal through whom they speak is loved and revered the world over.

Emil -Aguinaldo, once the Filipino t, is & subscriber to the Lib- erty loan. This ought to draw tears from the eyea of those Boston anti. New England, weather conditions always being taken into consideration. Already 25 acres of potatoes are well up and flourishing and each day ad- ditionul plots sprout until it will be only a few days when the entire 43 acres will be showing results. The weeds are growing just as rapidly and although an automatic cultivator is being used effectively there is an ur- gent need for men to work on the farm with hoes. On Friday 16 men have already volunteered to work and should this number be doubled thete would still be more work than they can do. To- morrow a score of men could be used | at the farm and if as many more vol- unteers appeared on Thursday Chair- man H. 8. Tailard would feel that he has the work well in hand. Until volunteers are more plengiful and show a willingness to be consistent in their work Chairman Tallard will be unable to release the three hired men who are working at the farm each day. Bach added expense will make the cost of the potatoes to the consumer more, so the greater the number of volunteer helpers the less the "ulti- mate cost. RECEPTION TO DR. BROWN. Rev. Dr. T.

Provision was'made in resolutions passed by the State Medical society on May 23 for protecting the practice of any surgeon who thus volunteors. The profession is put upon its honor not to attempt to steal the practice of the absent member of the profes- sion, but to do everything in its power to see that it is turned over to him on his return. This is done, not in the name of the physician, but in the e of the profession, and as a pa- triotic duty. The following circular has been sent out by Dr. D. Chester Brown of Danbury, chairman of the Medical Section of the State Council of Defense: Connecticut By actlon of the Council of Na- tional Defense, Medical Section, the Connecticut quota of physi- clans needed for the Medical Of- ficers Reserve Corps has been put at 1465. The county secretaries contained the names of 390 physicians who signified their intention of Jjoin- i lists furnished by the ing the Reserve Corps, but of these only 144 have signed the applications sent them. The examinations are still in progress but at the present date about 80 men have been recom- mended for commissions. These facts indicate that Con- necticut is far short of her quota, and you are urged., if you are . under 55, to indicate your will ingness to serve your country in / ‘f;" way by signing the attached slip. Please mail the slip to John E. Lane, M. D, secretary of the Cdnnecticut State Medical so- clety, 69 College street, New Ha- ven, Conn. It will bé handed to the Board of Examiners for the Medical Officers Reserve Corps, and an application blank will be immediately forwarded to you. Yours truly, D. CHESTER BROWN, Secretary of the Connecticut State Medical society, §9 Col- lege St, New Haven, Conn. I hereby signify my dgsire to enter the Medical Officers Re- serve Corps, and request that an application blank be sent me. Signed, M. D. Street. Date. Town. There has also been sent out by the state medical soclety a pledge to be signed by, physicians, agreeing that, when a patient is referred to = physielan who has signed the pledge, to ascertain who had previously treat- ed sald patient, and, if physician treating him is in the service ' of the country, to turn over to him one- third of the fee collected from such patient. This rule applies to consul- tatio as well as treatment. The physician ‘signing such a pledge also agrees not to attend any patients thus temporarily transferred for a period of one year following the resumption of active practice by the physician who has been in the service of his country: City Items !

The export council will be merely advisory to the Dresident, “There will, of course, be no pro- hibition of exports. The narmal course of trade will be, interferred with as little as possible, and, so far as possible, only its abnormal course directed. The whole object will be to direct exports in such a way that they will go first and\ by preference where | they ape most needed and most im- mediately needed, and tempaorarily ‘to withhold them, if necessary, where they can best be spared. “Our primary duty in the matter of foodstuffs and like necessaries is to see to it that the peoples associated with us in the war get as generous a proportion as possible of our surplus,’ but it will also be our wish and pur- pose to supply the neutral nations whose peoples depend upon . us for such supplies as nearly in proportion to their need as the amount to be divided permits. 3 “There will thus be little chéck put upon the volume of exports, and the prices obtained for them will not be affected by this regulation. “This policy will be carried out, not by prohibitive regulations. therefore, but by a system of licensing exports, which will be as simply organized and administered as possible ,s0 as to constitute no impediment to the narmal bow of commerce, “In brief, the free play of trade will not be arbitrarily interfered with; it 3 o35 | will only e intelligently and tematically directed, in the Hght full information with regard to m and market conditions thronghout world - and the . necessitiea of people at home and our armies ay the.rn;uun of our associates abroa ' “The government is taking, or Mg taken, steps to for exampiy Just what the available present supst of wheat and corn is remaining fre the v;v:hot last year: to learn frds 0 countries exporting. thews £ uffs from the United - Staten what their purchases in this e now are and where they are and what their needs are, that we may adjust stocks; and this infol:;“mn is course of being.rapidly supplied. “The case of wheat and corn\: :;ru ”ll-g:‘ mm;-.ugn of all the Test, supp} kinds.
