DENTISTS
WANT FAIR
TREATMENT
Allege Profession Is
Discriminated Against
In Army
MANY ENLIST,
NEVERTHELESS
Detroit Unit Has 150
Recruits To
Date
Discrimination against dentists in
conferring ranks In the medical and
other sections of thu United States
army brought sharp criticism from
Dr. G C. Bowles, president of to*
Michigan Rtate Dental society. In
hit address before the sixty-first
annual meeting of Ihe organixatlon
'n the Motel Toiler. Friday morn
log.
Me urged the Michigan dentist*
to get aolldly behind the Natlon.il
Dental aaaoclatlon tr the movement
to revise the government code, no
that dentists who volunteer their
service* to the army or navy may
receive th# same consideration
given to physician* and others
At the outset President Bowles
made It plain that the diaaatlsfs'-
tlon over the ranking would In no
manner deter the dentiats from d<>-
ing their duty in the present crisis
Me continued:
"It I* the ambition of the Pre
paredness league of American
Dentists to give our government the
largest and most efficient represen
tstlnn In the dental section of any
country In the world This we owe
to our country and to o»»r profes
sion Do your part, and thus as
sure this accomplishment.
"While It will not deter us from
offering mir service* to the govern
mrnt, we must stale that diacrln
mat ion is shown between the dentul
and the medical profession Sill',
this Is s good time and place to to
on record as being opposed to such
unequal recognition end to take am li
action as will remedy the situation.
"Social, official standing and con
aideratlon in the army, aa well a*
•alary, allowance* and privilege'.,
are baaed on rank Physicians, rail
road and steamahip men, grocery
and provisions salesmen, hay and
grain btryera. and anch
ran attain the rank of major In our
army in a short time. In the denial
section the highest rank one ran
have at the beginning Is that ts
flist lieutenant, and one must serve
24 years before one ran reach the
•ank of major, and this he can do
only the event of death or resig
nation of a major*
Dr Bowles’ statement that the un
favorable conditions Imposed on
dentist volunteers would not lessen
their patriotism is amply borne out
In the number of practitioners who
are entering the Detroit unit of the
Preparedness league of American
Dentists. According to Dr Don M
Graham, vice-chairman of the local
oraantzatlon. every dentist who hoe
been asked to Join has promptly if
fixed bis signature and many

Pelletier Favors the Plan of
Giving the Pen Chance to Try
to Settle Great Conflict
Mr James Rchermerhorn, April 11. 1917.
Publisher Detroit Times,
City.
Dear Mr. Schermerhom
I was greatly Impressed with your wonderful editorial and
tha splendid suggestion you made in your Issue of the 9th. in
which you proposed that Inasmuch as the sword had failed to
settle the differences between the peoples of the world, that
tha pen. In the hands of tha Fourth Relate, be assigned the task.
I faaJ certain your plan will carry thru, and that It Is, after
all, the only way to nettle thla great controversy.
Os course we. in America, fundiy Imagine we are better tn
formitd on all things than any othar people, but I really do
believe that wa. in this country, have a claarer Insight into the
various phase* of this war and the factors that produced It than
1o the people of othar countrtss whoa* press Is strictly censored
or she reports colored to meet th# ideas of the administrations.
If It were possible to have the editor* of the world in con
grees agree to tell their peoples the actual foots and all the
facta, as they could be agreed upon among thesa Intelligent, far
seeing men, I believe a speedy termination of the war could be
brought about.
Not only that, but the campaign of education which the pub
lishers of the world could carry on thereafter would soon prove
the utter futility, as well a* the folly, of a resort to arm* at
any future time.
Very trulv yours,
R LEROY PELLETIER.
