NEW YEARS DAY
NOISILY WELCOMED

CAMP DIXX, WRlGHTSTONN, n. j.,
Jan. i.--Loss Of memory as 10 dates,
due TO shellshock, Is a peculiar phe-
nomenOn encountered in several cases
here by officers endeavoring to ascer-
tain records on which wounded men
under treatment here may procure at
once their long overdue army pay.
Under a new regulation OF the War De-
partment. soldiers whose paycards or
service records have been lost or de-
stroyed. are permitted 10 make an af-
fldavit as 20 wages due. While many
soldiers have completed atildavts and
are being paid, shell-shock victims in
several instances have been unable TO
give the needed information.
In some Instances these wounded men
seem 20 have lost all track OF time,
Some cannot remember the date OF
their enlistment, when they reached
France, when they were wounded or
even when they got back 10 America.
In such cases efforts will be made TO
get the missing information through
the auditor generals office.
Nearly $1,000 soldiers hete cele-
brated the arrival Of the new year.
Many furloughs have been granted 10
men unable to get passes for Christmas
and short leaves also will be granted
hundreds OF others who have been in
yited 10 be guests Of individuals and
organizations in nearby towns. All sol
dlers except those needed for necessary
guard and police duty, were excused
from work during the day. and for the
entertainment OF these men welfare
organizations have elaborate programs.
