Army Health Rate Best Ever Known
A health rate for disease of 1.9 per 1,000 is reported for American forces overseas and in the United States, the lowest on record, based on 2.5 million men. The rate compares with 6.7 per 1,000 in civil life and follows Sanitation progress through campaigns in Europe and at home. Two navy men receive commendations for saving seven men from a burning ship while under fire. Camp upgrades and new training centers are planned at Hancock, Grant, West Point, and Fayetteville with a total projected cost near 6 million dollars.
