And on Armistice Hay there will be under treatment In Government hospitals over 2."i,U0 ex-aervlc. men, broken physically by wounds, expo sure, nervous strain and exhaustion incident to their service In the war.

Why? Because the Gov- I eminent cannot handle the case of ex-service men Individually; It must handle these men In bulk under a standardized policy.
