gresham Harry L. Candy has an
nounced officially that there will be a
conference at the office Of the surgeon
general In Washington within q few
days with an official of the board of

abled soldiers. The conference will
concern the use OF hospital space in
Battle Mountain s~anatorium, at Hot
Springs, s.. D., under the provisions OF
the general hospital bill passed at the
recent session OF congress.
Fol- a time 1t vas proposed to tenn
porarily transfer the use Of the entire
sanatorium to the war department for
hospital purposes for the treatment Of
sick and wounded soldiers before their
discharge. Later 1t was proposed and
then provided by law that all available
space and facilities at the sanatorium
not in use should for five years 10
placed at the disposal Of the treasury
department for the treatment Of sick
and wounded soldiers after discharge
for the care of whom the war risk bu-
e a is obligated under soldiers in
urance policies.
The secretary of the treasury has
directed the public health service to
care for the war risk bureau patients
and 1t is thought the service will enter
into an agreement with the board of
managers Of the Battle Mountain sana-
forum for the cooperative operation Of
the institution.
The institution has about 325 pa
tients at present, while the war de-
partment space rating gives it double
that capacity.
