WOMEN SURGEONS IN WAR. |
%
The Most Striking testimony so far furnished of wo* .
men’s active participation in war work is the announce
ment that more than fifty women phpsicians and surgeons
wiii soon leave for France under the auspices of the Am
erican Women’s Hospital assoeation. Thousands of nurse
and thousand of women workers have crossed the Atlantic
to do war services, and millions of women at home have ,
oeen energetically knitting and making hospital suplies 1
But the departure of this number of women practicing
nhvsicians to the front is a notable thing both in history
of war and the history of medicine.
%
Middle aged people can remember when the very ques !
lion of women’s capacity for medical practice was disput
ed. There are now some 6,000 women in the United States
whohave proved their ability and 2,000 have joined the
Medical Women's National association from whose mem
bership this contingent of fifty women doctors has been
tecruited for service abroad. Their special mission is to
ostabilish a chain of hospitals and clinics in France to be
conducted by women surgeons, dentists, bacteriologists
;.nd nurses to the entire exclusion of men. It is a mission
through which American women hood may be enabled to
serve the stricken womenhood of France.
Germany knows now or is beginning to learn what
the kaiser meant when, before the big drive, he called
for new and larger sacrifices; also the German people are
terrorized to think how many more sacrifices they must
make in the future etfort to keep a Hohenzollern on the
German throne.

It is interesting to speeilate on what the few horses
that are still left in the cities of the United States though -
when their breakfast was served to them an hour earlier
than usual.

Chas A. Sulzer
Candidate For Re-election as
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for Delegate to
Congress from Alaska, I feel impelled to make a brief statement to
the people of the territory. It is now nearly a year since 1 was seated
in the House as Alaska's representative to congress. During the n ort
of this time the United States has been engaged in a world war, and
every resource of the nation, including money and man power is oe
ing devoted to the single purpose cf winning this great war . Every
member of congress in considering legislation for the nation, has
placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated lus desires to the military estaoiishment o\ lie
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given
her share willingly and unstinting)}'. When the democratic paity
went before the people of Alaska in November, nineteen sixteen, it
stood for a certain constructive program which embodied as its prin
cipal elements a wider measure of home rule for the territory, and a
sane and rational policy in the development of natural resources and
eveiy posible aid to the pioneers of the countiy.
“1 have introduced among others the following bills in congress
which 1 am pressing for passage* as opportunity affords:
“Granting* Alaska full territorial form of government with homo
rule the dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be laii
to nil and the protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eignty
rod reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys.of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better oppor
tunity to use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“E<tcnding the federal farm ioun act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the Territory.
“At all times I have endeavored lo keep constantly in mind the
needs of the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of t**e
war some measure of progress ha^ been achieved. I have assisted »u
pa-sing a law which helped th«» prospector by suspendi ig assessment
work on claims du".iig ihe year* nineteen seventeen and nineteen
eighteen. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alaska has
been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been foicod lor Alaska in the matter of appoint
ments to the second series of training camps for officers. Contract**
which prevented the farmers of the interior from supplying army
posts with cheir vegetables are cancelled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of
Alaska have come to n\e from A'ackans all over the territory. Reit
erating my desite to serve the best interests of Alaska, I am submit
ting my name as a candidate for the democratic nomination for
Delegate to Congress."
