REHABILITATION OF
CIVILIAN AND SOLDIER GRIP.
PIES PLANNED BY GOVT
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Feb. 27.--Officials Of
governmental agencies Of seven ma
tions and dominions will meet here
from March IS to % to plan for the
rehabilitation of disabled men, civil
ians as we'll as soldiers, and put
them back on the payroll. The con-
ference will be held under the au-
spices Of the Red Cross Institute for
Crippled and Disabled Men.
The authorities to be represented
are the British minister Of pensions,
the French National Institute for War
Cripples. the Belgian Military Insti-
tute for Crippled Soldiers, the Italian
Ministry Of Pensions, the Canadian
Invalided Soldiers Commission. the
Australian Department of Repatria-
tion, and the Bureau of Re-education
and Reconstruction Of the American
Red Cross in France. Individual Or
ganizations of other countries also
will be represented.
Authorities in the United States
who are expected to attend are the
Federal Board OF Vocational Educa'
ton, which is providing for American
disabled soldiers training for self
support; the Division OF Physical Re.
construction OF the Office of the Sur
geon- General of the Army. which IA
providing restorative treatment and
education during the convalescent pc.
riod: the Bureau of War Risk Insur.
ance, which furnishes artificial limbs
TO soldiers OF the American Expedi-
tionary Force, and pays disability
compensation; and the American Rec
Cross Department Of Civilian Relief
which, through its home service sec
tons, provides social after-care for
disabled men.
To make disabled soldiers or civil
ians seIf-supporting rather than I.
permit them to lose initiative and
lapse back upon the support Of wal
pensions or workmen's compensation
relief is one Of the aims of the con
ference.
Pointing out that many more mel
are disabled annually in industry thar
have been incapacited by mllitar!
service the authorities who have al
interest in the cripple are p,annini
to give the civilian the same relie
as the soldier.
