This was done with the one object of caring for the army needs, and without proper consideration of j the many other objects which require medical skill. For it is just as essen- tial that medical men should care for the civil, as it js that they should care for the military requirements. , “Depleting the hospitals and sparse- ly settled portions of the country of medical men and the medical schools of their faculties and students, City ltems hd Sale at Hallinans tomorrow..— bt ‘Pride. ¥. of A, will meet at Pck tonight in Electric hall. harriage license has been grant- Pavid Joseph Dixon of 193 d avenue and Miss Mary Murphy of the same ad- co-operative store recently or- d by the employes of the Lan- [Frary & Clark factory opened siness Saturday in the old sy building in East Main street. ust Newfield, who was stabbed unknown ailant near t street railroad crossing s seks ago, has completely re- d and has been discharged | the hospital where he was | ed medical aid could not be had, and the needed yearly increment to the numbers of the medical profession, the | with internes for the necessary needs -~ | of the hospitals, was cut off. “This may not have seemed so seri- light that it England ous at the time, in the was generally believea in soon | brought about a condition where need- that the war would not last a year, and l\\'!n‘n the statement of Lord Kitchener as to a three years duration was ridi- culed. . “It has resulted, however, in having every available man called to the col- fors and has caused great confusion in the filling of medical offices with com- of health, as well as peent men, as in boards staffs of hospitals, etc., Sanitalion and Medicine of the Con- | producing great hardship in portions of the United Kingdom from a lack of physicians, and placing a great bur- den on the older and disabled mem- bers of the profession unfitted for military service. “The Council of National Defense at Washington, very wisely determined at the start on what might be termed a selective volunteer system, by which each hospital was asked to indicate how many of its staff could be spared and yet be capable of thorough and efficient work. “That no interne should be taken until he had completed a year's work in some hospital.

That the faculties of our medical schools should not be depleted so as to prevent the carrying on of their work, and medical students were urged to continue their studi That medical men in isolated districts, where their loss would mean a hardship to the surrounding com- munity, should not be called. “The removal of a large force of medical men to foreign shores, esti- mated at ten thousand to each million of troops, will of necessity throw a large burden on those who remain, especially when great numbers of troops, incapacitated on the flelds of battle, return for care and treatment, but with the wise provisions that have been made and the patriotic devotion of the medical profession, it is certain that neither our military nor eclvil population will suffer from lack of adequate medical attention.” oing treatment. ve operations have hegun in Beaton & Cadwell factory hg on Main street.

White of 31 Curtis street, for many years a prominent clothier here and for the past few years identified with the C. J. White Mfg. Co., died yesterday at the New Britain General Hospital following a long ill- ness. Funera]l services will be held from Mr. White’s home tomorrow aft- ernoon at 3 o'clock. Rev.

B o e EX-KING OF GREECE FRIEND TO GERMANY Constantine Desired to Join Central Powers But Feared Consequences to Army and Merchant Marine. London, Aug. 20.—An Athens de- spatch to the Exchange Telegraph company says that among the diplo- matic documents found there since the change in government is a de- spatch of former King Constantine, written a few days after the war be- gan in response to a message from Emperor William, who proposed Greece should range herself on the side of the Central Powers. Constan- tine said in his reply: “The Emperor well knows my per- sonal sympathies, as well as my poli- tical opinions, attract me to his side. Nevertheless it is impossible for me to understand in what manner I could be useful to him in mobilizing my army. The Mediterranean is at the mercy of the united fleets of Eng- land and France, which could destroy our navy and merchant marine, on the island, and above all, prevent concentration of my army, which could be effected only by sea, in the communications. Without it being in our power to be | useful in any particular we would be wiped off the map. 1 am necessarily of the opinion that neutrality is im- posed upon us.” Gottleib Von Jagow, then German foreign secretary, replied to Con- stantine that Emperor William would understand the necessity of mainatin- ing neutrality for the present. He ad- vised Constantine to reach an under- standing with Sofla and Constanti- nople. ROMANOFFS AT TOBOLSK | Former Czar and Russia Reach Birth- place of Monk Rasputin, 1,500 Mliles From Petrograd.
