TAKES ABOUT TWO WEEKS) T0 DISCHARGE A) A MAN AT THE DISPERSAY, STATION. Give a Man His Discharge Within Three Days After His Arrival At Barrie. field, Owing to the prominence that is given to the discharge of the refurn- ed soldier, and the ring comments on the subject frgm time fo time, a representative of the British - Whig paid a visit to Dispersal Station "G" on Thursday to ascertain at first hand just what the procedure was, This station is situated in Barriefield and consists of a group of buildings re- cently erected on the government re- serve a short distance from the ap- proach to LaSalle Causeway. No fin- er barracks can be found anywhere. There are at the present time = be tween 400 and 500 returned soldiers domiciled there and the-colony is ab- solutely self-contained. Hajor Hoop- er is O0.C. and Lieut, 'Jack" Wil- Hams, adjutant. There is a dental corps and a final medical board, the head of which is Captain Stevens. Lieut. Westbere represents the dis- \trict vocational officer. The present accomodation is 1400 men, but when all of {he buildings are completed there will be accom- modation for 5000, There are twelve dermitory buildings divided into quarter sections, each having a capacity for -266 men. There is a dining room and kitchen adjoining each, a recreation room and canteen, All of the buildings are heated by stoves, contain electrio lights and are wel ventilated. The men when questioned regarding the accommo- dation replied that it could not be better, It was the best they had had since joining the armys There is a separate hospital building for the sick. The camp may be said to bé divid- ed into two parts, reception and dis- posal. When the soldier returns from Overseas he is assigned to the recep- tion barracks. Here he turns in his kit to the quartermaster. He then visits the dentist for dental tests and receives treatment. From the dentist he goed before the vocational officer with the .object of ascertaining 'the extent of the disability the soldier suffers from as a consequence of his gervice in ¥France or England. All men handicapped by disability are re- ported to the district vocational offi- cer for-'M.D, No, 3, and when re-edu- cation or vocational training fs" decid- ed upon, they are invited to choose one of courses provided. Up to, the present time the percéntage of men refused re-education. is very low. During the past two and a half months 500 men have been examin- ed for re-edueation. The next step is the final medical board, and after passing this board, the soldier is transferred to the dis- posal barracks to await discharge. About two weeks elapses from the time of admission to discharge, and the men are being discharged at the rate of from 50gto 70 per day; but it is understood that arrangements are being made for the acceptance in Canada of the last medical Board in England. . This will eliminate the medical board here, making it pos- sible for the man to get hischarge within three days after arrival, un- less he is a subject for medical treat- ment, resin CAPT. EDWIN A.
