sweeping throughout France is tuber-

diers returned from German prison
camps, arrived in pitiful condition,
many of them merely reached home to
die The young women and little chill
dren are becoming infected to an
alarming degree. The chief reasons
for this increase are the terrible sani-
tary conditions, organic diseases of
the heart, epidemic and dysentery, all
of these ills brought on and aggra-
waited by lack of food, and nervous
iety of the years of war. During the
last three years of the occupation,
the food rations distributed to all the
population were insufficient for the
normal needs of the growing young,
and tuberculosis found fertile ground
for spreading rapidly among the
young so insufiiciently fed. In GER

more than 60 per cent of the young
people from ten to twenty years of
age.
