' Many members of the medical pro- fession are Indignant at the fact that medical students have not been ex empted from military service under the compulsory-servic- e bill, although theological students have been exempted. The need for a supply of physicians, of course, will be Increased by the war, which will take many of them to the front. Keeping enough doctors at home to take care of the civil population Is one of the perplexing questions faced by the council of national defense. Also, the number of students In this country has been reduced In recent years by the strict .standards Imposed upon schools, which has put many of them out of business and Increased the length of time required for a physl-da- n to qualify for practice" Still Suffering.

Thereafter tbe mine fell somewhat behind, not bemuse It lacked power to do barm, but for two other reasons first, fhe wholesome dread Inspired by the prescribed mined areas and next because of tbe various expedients adopted b.v the belligerents to neutralize these subaqueous weapon. Even so, the mine is playing a big pnrt In marine warfare, and we shall have to count with It and against It now that we have Joined forces with the entente allies. It is a matter of record that the Germans got the Jump on the British by their prompt and even daring employment of the submarine mine. Within a very short time after the declaration of war Teuton mine planters were operating on the English and Scottish coasts and were busily engnged In sowing these weapons at the very entrance of enemy ports and rivers. For this purpose It was rather easy then to have recourse to North sea fishing ernfj that hod all the outward complexion of Innocence; Indeed, for weeks these boats went about their work well-nigh unsuspected. It was only when British battle craft were mysteriously damaged and sunk that the British author awakened to their peril. Even then the belief prevailed that the damage was more or less a matter of sheer Chnnce chance In the nature of a friendly defense mine that had got adrift. Then the next explanation was that a particularly daring commander had managed to get within striking distance, 'and ' finally It dawned upon the British coast patrol were mines that enemy being freely planted right under their very noses. Every fishing boat was then an object of and prompt Investigation proved In a great cases that there was ample warrant for this many attitude. Neutral trawlers became more and more Infrequent In certain of the water contiguous to the north and east coasts of Scotland and England, and for a time tbe mine menace was held pretty well In hand. The resourceful Teutons, however, were not checkmated, and It was truly a question of time before they developed a method with which to offset Then the vigilance of the British coagtal-patrol- . the German submarine mine, layers got to work.

The whole subject of submarine mines, offensive and defensive, and tbe subaqueous protection against enemy submarines is one wltlr which our naval and military authorities are deeply engnged. It Is safe to say that we are going to see some remarkable developments, and largely because our allies are going to give us tbe benefit of their own xperi once so that native Ingenuity can start to Improve upon the fruits of the hilors of others. Indeed, our subaqueous defenses must of necessity be of tbe best types jHissible because of the extent of our seaboard and the comparatively limited number of vessels that the navy has for patrol work. The rpcent presidential order prescribing defense zones at the approaches of certain ports and waterways hod to do with the army purt primarily In this matter of subaqueous safeguards. The mine fields controlled by the military authorities, those of the Const Artillery corps, are as a" rule protected by observation mines or electric contact mines that arp mude active or Inactive by fh operation of a switch. That Is to say, the vitalizing current comes from a central station ashore, snd nelfher.of . these. type of mines will explode unless the electric current r ea ch es' t h era by way of a submerged cable. In the case of the contact- mine with the current turned on "the mine will explode when bumped and tilted over to a prescribed angle. Tbe observation mine, on fhe other hand, does not have to be touched by the enemy craft, but Is subject to tbe will of an observer on shore. Observation mines are planted In group and are laid out In definite checkerboard areas, and each group is set off separately and simultaneously. The observer, by means of range marks or bearings, knows Just when the approaching foe reaches any one of these squares, and accordingly tbe one within which the enemy lies at the mo-the group of mine to be detomenf-determln- of o U-C- -5 iv - that probably which was captured and taken lDto alii much- akin-t- cr. vrHo love to gratify i i . thought I would not t I Explained. know a man a ho Is In business, a lid rust omers know bis talk gissls Is chiefly hot air," llow does lie manage to i 1 i . f.: , t very suc-ewsf- ul ot all his about hla fy - fool them, then? , her !
