March IS to 22 to plan for the rehabili-
tation of disabled men, civilians as well
as soldiers, and put them back on the
pay roll. The conference will be held

stitute for crippled and disabled men.
The authorities to be represented are
the British ministry of pensions, the
French national institute for war Grip
pies, the Belgian military institute for
crippled soldiers, the Italian ministry
OF pensions, the Canadian invaded SOL
diers' commission, the Australian de-
partment Of repatriation and the bureau
