War Department shifts to recreation in training camps
Dr. Joseph B. Raycroft announces a policy change from intensive athletic training to recreational sports in U S. Army camps. With armistice near and many soldiers to be discharged, emphasis shifts from combat fitness to moral and character development. Officers' discharges rise as data on postwar service plans progress slowly. Private Thomas faces a five-year term for embezzling funds intended for a fellow soldier's funeral.
