WANT 24,000
SURGEONS FOR
WAR SERVICE
Government Will Even Draw l pon
Alaskan Doctors to Fill
Required Quota
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—In ob
taining 144,000 trained men for army
medical service, 24,000 of whom must
be physicians, the government will not
only draw upon the continental United
States, but upon Alaska, Porto Rico
and Hawaii. One-half of this force
; will be needed by October 1 of this
j year and the remainder six months
thereafter.
The work of raising this huge force
| is already under way, and as fast as
I shelter can be had the men are being
piaced in training camps -at the rate j
of 200 a day. There are three of these
camps, one each at Fort Riley, Kans.,
Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indian
apolis, and Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
Two of eveiV nine physicians of
military age in the country will be!
required for this service, which rep
resents the heaviest demand made by
the war upon any single profession,
but General Georgas says the medical
men of the country are meeting the
call with a will.
There are in the United States ap
proximately 90,000 physicians of war
age, 22 to 25 years—and a required
number will be drawn from every dis
trict proportionate to its total num
ber of available men. No city, town,
or village, however, will be stripped
of its physicians, however anxious
they may be to engage in war work.
The work in the training camps cov
ers three months. As a rule medical
officers go to the camps with a view
to preparing themselves to serve with •
the fighting troops. Officers too old •
for such service are held in reserve
for specialists behind the battle line.

BIG BLIZZARD
IN ANTARCTIC
FATAL FORM
i I
Alaskan Weather Hits Chile In Mid
winter of Southern
Hemisphere
TIJNTA ARENAS, Chile, Aug. 0,
(Via N. Y., Hy Mail).—For twenty
four hours one of the worst blizzards
in history has been raging over this
entire section, including the Tierra del
Fuego archipelago. There is no sign
of any let-up.
Already fourteen persons are re
ported dead as a result of exposure
to cold and the fury of the high wind.
The temperature during the blizzard
has averaged eight below zero. At
times it has reached twelve below.
All of the straits and channels be
tween the islands and between islands
and mainland are ice-blocked and
many ships bound from the Pacific
to the Atlantic are storm-bound, with
little chance of their clearing within
a week.
An Avalanche of Snow
The storm broke in greatest fury
around the base of Mount Sarmiento
and a veritable avalanche of snow has
been for hours rolling down from its
rocky slopes, driven by a wind that
has reached a velocity as high as (>0
miles an hour.
It will not be possible to cross the
Beagle channel to the southern islands
for many days and many there may
be short of food, or without sufficient
means of keeping warm.
In this city conditions are critical.
Snow is piled so deep it is almost im
possible to move about in search of
those needing aid. The high wind still
makes it dangerous to leave shelter
without ropes trailing behind, since it
is impossible to see through the storm
more than a few feet.
Worst Storm Since 1889
But one other storm of equal se
verity is recorded here. That was in
1889 when for three weeks there was
no communication with the world and
every channel in the archipelago was
ice-blocked for weeks.
