This e,odus of the tillers of the soil,

so great a problem that It was decided
to take this method of obtaining suffi

PENN "MEDICS" PLAN
TO ASK WAR TRAINING,
Pleas to Government and
Faculty Will Be Made
at Smoker
.
,..,,,, , . ,, ,
Lnlvertlty of rennsjlvania medical ,
students have not given up th'lr efforts i
. . . ,
to get mllltaiy tralnlnu for all men en-
listed In the medical olllccra' reserve.
II. M. Miller, of the senior class, will
propose, at the annual smoker of the
senior medical class of the UnUenill,
tonight, that the faculty be usked to I
shorten the flnil trimester by two weeks
and that the Government bo asked to
give a sl-wtek course In military train
ing The meeting will be held at the
Hotel Ilittcnhouse, Twent -second and
Chestnut streets.
. ., ''"'Vu" a ",18 Vmer". m "'" -
Ing that the dormltotles and athletic
facilities of all Hrge American unlver-
allies be converted Into nillltar) medical
universities during tho summer vaca -
tlon Is being formulated and Is to bo
presented at a future meeting of the
class for approval. It will not Inter
fete with tho proposition to bo made by
Mr. Miller.
Tho Importance of the discussion and
probable action tonight lies In the fact
that not only do the men In the medkal
roservo feel that It Is necessary that
they bo given military training, but
also tho Government his recently advo
cated this btrongl).
Major H Marthi, member of the Med
ical Kchcol faculty, who Is lit charge of
tho Government courses in surgery for
army officers. Is said to be In favor of
both propositions In fact, the sugges
tion of petitioning the Government for
tile establishment of military medical
unlvers'tles during the clmilng summer
was made to the senior medical class by
him.
The smoker of tho medical seniors to
night will be an effective one, for In
hplrlt and seriousness it will surpass any
ever held before. Khaki will be much In
evidence, for many of the faculty mem
bers who will attend are commissioned
army medical lifftcers. Most of the 150
senior "ineds" aio enlisted In the reserve
corps and In u few) inpnths they will
receive their commissions and also don
the khaki Many classes of the medical
school have had reunions, but tho 1918
graduates feel that when they are once
Emitter ed over the various battlefields to
help In caring for the sick and wounded
there will be slight possibility for them
to get together again The mortality
among the army medical men has been
high In tho present conflict, and this fac t
lends little cheer to the near future of
the men who will assemble tonight.
A formal program has not been nr
ranged, but the medical faculty members
will be asked to speak. Interesting topics
regarding army surgical work art) to be
dlscutsed,

I'ltAISK roil l.CWIH GUN
Speaking of the Lewis gun, one hears
tiemtndnus p'al of Its powers every
where. It Is the Invention of an Ameri
can (of course 1), Colonel Uano N.
Lewis And Kngllshmen think It ex
traordinary that such n wonderful In
ventlon should hive been turned down
hy the generally far-sighted American
Government.
Tlio Lew Is gun has been n remark
gb e asset to all Britishers In the
trenches and tanks and in the nlr. and
the fact that Biltlsh capital came to
Colonel Lewis's aid twelve months be
fore war broke out, has proved n
splendid thing for Britain
As for airplanes. If )ou ask any of
the fl)lng men, they havo but one name
tc siv "Lewis' that wonderful little
machine gun, manageable bv one man,
light, efllclent and dependable
After detailing his failure even to give
his gun to the American Government,
the Colonel told the United States Mill
tary ATalrs Committee:
"I went over to Brussels In 191?, but
T oon found tint my Belgian company
was In the hands of the Germans. My
president and managing cliiectcr were
both under German Influenc. Mv com
pany was about to piss under German
control 1 succeeded, by the help of
ni) lo)al Belgian associates. In ousting
our president and managing director."
"I went to London," ho erntlnued, 'to
lh Birmingham Small Anns Company.
I die) not know an)hody connected with
the compan). hut I nndo an appointment
to go there with the gun. In fort) -eight
hours 1 had closed a contract for the
exclusive manufacture of the Lewis gun
In Kurope. We are working under that
contract today. They are delivering
guns every week Into the Urltlth forces"
Writing to the heeretrv nf Ktul nf
I Washington on December 11. 1917 the
Colonel has some very Interesting In
formation to give. He sa)3t
"The Lewis gun Is no longer a new
and untried weapon It has succc-sful-ly
met every mllltar) requirement under
a grilling test of more than three ears
of dally service on the battlefields of
L'uropu duilng the greatest war In his
tory." U. S. JO KilNMUVT ltHI'USlID
Colonel Lewis goes on to state how
I his own Government tinned him down:
"Ah earl) as 1911, when the first
1 model of the Lewis gun was built, I
1 trok It ni) self to Washington and pre
i ented It in person lo the Chief of the
1 Staff, requesting him to csanilnc It "
The ..rfer was ignored again and
again, and when he wrote as latel) ao
December. 1917, to tUo Secretary of
War, tenewlng his offer, and actually
RV"-'rU"B ' rcndlness to give up roal-
ties of two and one-quarter million dol-
,ar, (, ,000 BUI1H n,rendy under con-
tract for tho Government, no reply was
Vouchsafed
Some one has akked Colonel Lewis
wh) he wished to make such a tacrlfke,
anil he replied:
"I got my education at the expense
of the American Government. 1 de

circumstances I waV a oor man with
