MEDICAL MEN HERE
RAP CROWDER'S PLAN
Temple and University of Penn
sylvania Deans Show Fallacy
of Drafting Young Doctors
The order of General Crowder, which pre
vents drafted medical students from nn-
Ishlng their education before going Into
the country's service and his contention
that the men can continue their medical
studies, to better advantage under the med
ical corps of the United States army has
met with considerable disapproval by the
heads of medical schools ln Philadelphia.
It Is contended by many that General
Crowder's order forcing the students Into
service before they have opportunity for
hospital work is unfair to the student and
a menaco to tho country. The general's
assertion that tho medical students taken
In tho general draft could continue their
medical studies to the best advantage under
the medical corps of the United States army
met with no end of opposition.
It was pointed out by several physicians
that the student would be unable to obtain
a number of phases of the medical work
essential to his progress.
As far as Pennsylvania was concerned,
he would not be able to pass the examina
tion of the State board with such limited
experience and would be obliged to serve
a year In a hospital at the end of the war.
When asked his views concerning Gen
eral Crowder's plan, Dr. Frank C. Ham
mond, dean of Temple University Medical
School, said:
"It would be a very great handicap to
the students who were forc"ed Into service
under such a plan. England did the same
thing; now she Is taking her students out
of the service and sending them back to
the medical schools.
'There are many phases ot medical work
which cannot be obtained In the military
service. There is not time to teach the
students nor are there facilities for such
instruction. Why not leave them here one
year now for hospital work? If the present
graduates are pushed Into the army service
on their return they must put In one year
In a hospital. If a student Is at the front
four years the Pennsylvania State Board
will only give him credit for three months'
hospital experience."
Similar views were expressed by Dr. Allen
J. Smith, acting dean of the University of
Pennsylvania Medical School.
"The students should be kept In the
gcThool until they finish their medical
studies," he said, "then they could be sub
ject to call when it was absolutely necessary."
MEDICAL SCHOOL DRAFT
SWEEP1NGLY CRITICIZED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.
From the present outlook, Congress may
have to be called on to undo the serious
snarl of red tape Involving General prowd
er'a Provost Marshal's office and the army
medical administration under Surgeon
General Gorgas, a snarl which threatens
not only the Integrity' ot the medical schools
of the country, but also the Immediate and
continuous supply of doctors for both the
army and navy.
The situation that has developed by rea
son of General Crowder's memorandum,
refusing to turn over the medical students
and doctors taken In the general draft to
Surgeon General Gorgas, Is one of the most
extraordinary that has yet come out here
and, so far as the medical men go,
has aroused a storm of criticism, mingled
with apprehension and consternation, that
It only can be met by congressional action.
For General Crowder, It seems, has re
fused to do anything and Secretary of
War Baker has backed him up by writing on
the Crowder proposition, "I'm constrained
to believe "his advice ln the matter is cor-
rect."
l. n.irai fiiicMars Here have pointed
out that General Crowder's Idea would seri
ously hamper the medical schools, since, for
one thing, the medical students and doctors
dratted are taken ln as privates.
Consequently. General Crowder's action
has so taken them by surprise that only pro
tests from those near at hand have como In.
It is calculated- that If the order
is not changed more than 300 doctors
will be lost to the United States medical
service and the very thing that it was hoped
""prevent in medical education will come to
nass As evidence that the Medical Board
of the Council of National Defense believed
that Surgeon General Gorgas would be al
owed to handle the medical men one of
tne medical educators In Washington called
attention to an official notice which all
medical colleges were asked to give the
broadcast publicity last April.

POLITICAL FIGHT LIKELY
AFTER CHESTER RIOTS
Factions May Split Following
Appointment of New Po
lice Magistrate
Sv a Staff Correspondent
CHESTER, Pa., August 1,
T,he whole political future of Delaware
County will be affected as the result of
the recent race riots here.
According to thoso who are on tho Inside
there is a possibility of a political fight be
tween the McClure and Sproul Interests,
heretoforo friendly. Magistrate William J.
Leary, said to bo a McCluro man, has been
removed from the office of police magis
trate and Alderman Thomas J, Holt has
been appointed In his place by Mayor Wes
ley S. McDowell.
The new committing Maglstrato held his
first hearings this morning. His first act
was to hold Morris Lawrence, negro, and
said to bo a McClure worker, under J2000
ball for court on a charge of carrying con
cealed deadly weapons and threatening to
shoot up the town last night.
Lawrence was recently released from the
Eastern Penitentiary, where he sorved fivo
years for the killing of Peter Lock, a
citizen here. .. , - --,-,
Tho McClure Interests made an effort to
have Magistrate Leary retained as commit
ting Magistrate, but Mayor McDowell re
fused to reconsider hl.t ' decision that the
Magistrate must go, to satisfy tho public
clamor" for his removal. The Mayor is
known to lean toward the Sproul Interests,
and should a break como' would no doubt
throw his political fortune that way.
The Mayor said that ho was not In
fluenced by politics In appointing Alderman
Holt as committing Magistrate. Ho added
that the new Magistrate is a lifelong friend
and for this reason ho was appointed.
Threo men aro In tho running for the
nomination for Judge of the Common
Pleas Court, Delaware County, They aro
W. B. Broomall, the incumbent; Albert
Dutton McDade, former District Attorney
for six years, and John L. Itankln. The
primaries will be held In September, should
there come a political split 'between the
McClures and the Sprouls It Is said that
the former would support Judge Broomall
and the latter McDade. This would serve
to make McDade a very strong candidate.
The town was quiet Iast night. The
only excitement was when Lawrence, the
man held this morning, threatened to "shoot
up the town." A crowd ot several hundred
gathered, but the police had no difficulty In
arresting tho negro. State troopers still
patrol tho streets and Mayor McDowell
said ho would mako an effort to have nbout
ten of thorn stationed hero permanently.
Tho Mayor received Magistrate Leary's
resignation last night. It read:
Hon. Wesley S. McDowell.
Dear Mr. Mayor In view of the criti
cism which haB been made regarding my
administration of the office of committing
magistrate, ana to reliovo you nnd your
administration of any posslblo embarrass
ment on that account, I herewith tender
my resignation to become cffectlvo imme
diately or upon tho appointment of my
successor. I havo tried to do the best
that I could under difficult circumstances
In handling the duties of my office, and
I believe when all the facts como out
nnd tho cases nre tried ln Court my
actions will bo vindicated. However, I
am tired of public and private criticism
and trust that my successor will have
better fortune.
Thanking you for the courtesy with
which I have been treated and with everj
good wish. I am
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM J LEAItY,
Committing Magistrate.
Ho refused to make any further comment
In the matter except to say that he had
always tried to do hl3 duty to the best
of his ability.

500 Aro Eager to Go at Once for
French Base Hospital
W6rk
ARE BADLY NEEDED THERE
WASHINGTON', Au&. 1. The American
woman surgeon wants to do her share ln
the war. Fivo hundred women doctors are
enger to be sent Immediately to Frnnce fc
base hospital work. This would release
mnle surgeons for tho front-lino trcncli
dressing stations, where they aro badly
needed. More than thirty-five hundred other
female doctors nlready havo volunteered to
take up war work.
Tho war service committee of the Mcdl
cal Women's National Association today Is
driving toward commissions In the medical
corps of the United States army for women.
Surgeon General Oorgas. of the army,
Is known to be ln favor of granting these
commlslons to women. Present regulations
of the army make no provisions for authori
zation of the commissioning of these women.
Congressional action alone can place them
In uniform.
Dr. Itosnllo Slaughter Morton, of New
York, has been appointed by tho general
medical board of the Council of National
Defeneo as chairman of n commlttco to fur-
tner tno work of women surgeons In the
war.
Members of the Medical Women's Na
tlonal Association declare that women are
a necessity to hospital work behind th
firing lines. They point out the lack of
men In tho medical corps and nrcuo that
women can carry on base hospital work
Just as well as men, thereby releasing the
men for active work In the dressing sta
tions, where they aro under lire.
There nro several hundred women physi
cians in the United States who have al
ready had army pervlce In tho European
war. They are ready to give their services
now for the American armies.
