CHRISTIANIA, June 22.—The criti
cisms of the notion of ('ount von
Oberndorff. the Oerman ambassador
to Norway, In addressing the Nor
wegian people through the Oeneral
Press Bureau In a letter at which the
newspapers took offense, has been
even more widespread than was Indi
cated In the cable reportB.
From the outbreak of the war Count
von Oberndorff Is said to have at
tempted to exercise a strong pressure
on the Norwegian press, anil to have
been successful In keeping it from pub
lishing criticisms of German methods
of warfare and the treatment of Nor
wegian mercliantships, particularly.
His influence through the Norwegian
Foreign Office was said to have been
indicated by occasional notes from
the Department of Foreign Afflalrs,
requesting that certain reports un
favorable to Germany were not to be
mentioned in a critical light, for the
sake of Norway’s neutrality.
The torpedoing of the Lusitania was
the first occasion on which the Ner
weglan press voiced Its criticisms of
German methods, and the articles that
followed treated of the Incident in
strong terms. It appears that the co
incidental receipt of two annonymous
letters by Count von Oberndorff con
cerning the Emperor of Germany, led
the ambassador to Issue an address
to the Norwegian people through the
General Press Bureau. Some of the
leading papers refused to publish his
statement, while those who did print
It accompanied It with strong adverse
comment on the propriety of his
action.
One of the examples of the out
spoken way in which the newspapers
treated the incident is seen in the
Norwegian Shipping Gazette , which
says:
“When the representative of the
German Emperor chooses to address
the Norwegian people over the head
of King Haakon and his cabinet, he
has thereby relinquished the respect
generally shown representatives of
foreign powers at the Norwegian
court.”

BIG MINING DEAL IS
REPORTED FROM WRANGELL
The Wrangell Sentinel says:
"One of the biggest deals that has
ever been turned in Wrangell came to
a close last Tuesday evening when a
company of Seattle capitalists repre
ented by J. G. Galvin and Sam Silver
man, purchased the property of the
Stikine Mining Company at Devils
Elbow, about 100 miles up the Stlkene
river from Wrangell. The owners of
the property were L. Dixon and John
Boderl, of Telegraph.
This is the property which was in
spected last month by Mr. Galvin and
Mr. Silverman, who returuerd to Seat
tle and made favorable report on the
claims and which resulted in the ac
quiring of the property. The sate
price was not made public but it is
known to be several thousand dollars.
The property is not bonded to the new
company but is an outright sale.
The property was located some three
years ago by the former owners who
have only pnrtly prospected the large
body of ore. Three claims are in the
group. The property is Bituated on
the mountain side just above Klutch
man’s Canyon at Devils Elbow, about
100 miles from Wrangell. Assays of
the ore runs $193 in silver, lead and a
trace of gold; also there is consider
able zinc on the property but the ex
tent is unknown.

AM. MEDICAL
SAN FRANCI8CO, Juno 22.—Dr. W.
Rodman, of Philadelphia, the
lowly elected Prealdent of The Amerl
an Medical Association, who de
Ivered his inaugural address at to
lay’s session of the annual meeting of
he Association. Introduced his ad
Iress with reference to some of the
vils in the surgical profession.
"In every community,” he said,
men are operating who have no right
o take human life Into their hands,
'his does not apply to the general
iractltloner, who, In an emergency,
nd to the best of his ability, operates
n an attempt to save life, but to those
^ho, for gain, undertake that which
hould be done only by the skillful
urgeon. 8urgery Is a special science,
xtra hazardous In its nature, and
ence the public has a right to de
mand of the surgeon the very highest
hyslcal, mental, and moral equip
lent."
In the eradication of this evil of the
ncompetent Burgeon, Dr. Rodman said
hat the American College of 8ur
eons, which was organized only two
ears ago, was to be heartily congratu
uted upon the progress made.
“The positive stand the college has
aken on fee-spllting alone more than
nstlfles Its existence,” he said. "This
vll has become Intolerable, and a
^ave of protest is rising throughout
he land which should, and we believe 1
•111. overwhelm the offenders
"Let us at once apply the axe to
he root, make this nefarious practice
mpossible, and drive from the surgl
al temple those who defile It."
Referring to the efforts which the
issoclation hnd made In the ellmina
ion of patent medicine frauds. Dr.
todman said the fight bad Involved
egal proceedings which the Associa
Ion was combatting vigorously, but
hat It was Interesting to note that
oncerns with new preparations for
he market coming to the Associa
ion’s experts for endorsement. The
'ouncll of Pharmacy and Chemistry
low had In Its laboratories three
hemists who give their whole time to
estlng such medicine, and the work
md culminated In the Issue of a book
■ntitled, "Useful Drugs," which a num
>er of the best schools now use as a
cat uvun,
“It remains,” he said, “for the pro
’ession to set Its ban on all proprie
ary medicines, If the only Information
concerning them comes from those
who manufacture and sell them."
A point on which Dr. Hodman laid
treat stress was secondary education
©adfng to the medical profession. The
■©forms which the Association had
'ought for In medical schools had been
»o far brought about that the standard
•equired was now as high as it should
tie for all of the schools of the entire
country.
“An lrreducable minimum has been
reached,” he said, “and it should be
Honestly enforced—that is. as soon as
it can be. There Is, of course, no limit
to the maximum that any highly en
Jowed and exceptionally circum
stanced institution may adopt for
itself.”
ric Diiiu -nut tiic lauiwi tun uiuui
cal schools had been so thinned that a
third of the schools were now hors du
combat, and It was expedient to mark
time for a while, "and give those insti
tutions which have approached the fir
ing line at a double-quick speed a
chance to catch their breath."
But the problem of secondary edu
cation for the medical man he thought
was hundfcupped by too high a cul
tural standard. Although a course in
Biology, chemistry and physics, was
tgreed upon as a pre-requisite to the
>tudy of medicine, the subjects were
lot taught satisfactorily In the high
schools. This, we believe, Is the very
"Therefore, for the present at least,
it must be taught largely by the medi
cal schools, or there must be, as has
Been suggested by distinguished edu
cators, a rearrangement of the cur
ricula of high BChools, bo that they
will embrace a course in the sciences
which will be acceptable to medical
BChools. This, we believe, le the very
best solution of the problem,"

SUES FRENCH
MAJOR
BERLIN, May 22.—Numerous legal
lotions agnlnst citizens of countries at
war with Germany continue to occupy
the attention of the local courts, not
withstanding that the war now is al
nost 11 months old. Many of the
lulls are for rent on offices contracted
’or long before hostilities commenced,
br on other contracts that, quite natur
»lly, have not been carried out, but
bccaslonally a humorous action bobs
jp.
Thus, In Berlin recently, suit was
brought against George Devillors, a
French major of reserves, by his one
Ime servant girl in Schoeneberg, a
Elerlln suburb. She alleges that Major
Devillers was so In error as to the
brobable length of hostilities that he
?ave her 200 marks and told her to
nake a visit to her family and then
borne back into his service which he
;st.imated would be within a few
weeks.
Patiently the maid haB waited ten
nonths, seeking no other position in
he meantime. At last she Is tired of
'urther delay, and asks the court to
iward her 312 marks from the major,
m the ground that he has paid her
to wages, yet has retained her In hts
lervlce, and thus kept her from earn
ng money elsewhere.
