problem of caring for the army of
manned and disabled soldiers Is be-
ing gradually worked out. The aim
of the government is to make them

sity is functional readoption and pro-
fessional re-education or physical
training. A million francs $780,

Here, not far from Paris, in the Ma
tional Convalescent Asylum and Mill
tary hospital are CHARTERED at present
SIS men, about 1875 of whom are
cured and are learning new trades or
professions in the various schools Ct
