 SAD WAR WORD

A new war word has appeared which, unhappily, we are likely to hear very often in the future, The word is ''hos- pitaliZed." IL is applied to soldiers who have been q long time in hospital whose minds have lain fallow and havL lost mental fiber. So far little has been done in an organized way to rectify this dterioration.
 It is chiefly among officers where disqualification" is evident. In many cases young officers who have been seriously wounded and had long con- valescence have found, when they went back to the army or were invalided out and returned 10 their profession or businfts, that they were far from what they were before, their mental energy having weakened, and they are unable to grip affairs.

The Third army, the American army of occupation, now occupies q strip of Germany containing 4,500 square miles, according to a recent report. It is directing the admins tration of hundreds of towns and operating hundreds of miles of rail- road. This army of 25o,000 men marched between 200 and 300 miles within a month after the armistice was signed. They started the march tired from weeks of hard fighting. The feat is without precedent in his,- tory. Major General Joseph T. Dickman is leader of the Third army.
