Every Veteran Needing Help Gets
Individual Attention of Sym
pathetic Workers.
When on November II the world
halls to observe the fourth anniver
sary of Armistice Iay, and Ihe Ameri
can Hed Cross Inaugurates Its Annual
Roll Call for the enrollment of tlie
1!C'I membership, the people of the
Culled States may well pause U think
of the unparalleled contribution to the
cuuse of peace made hy our Army and
Navy In the World War. The glory of
It Is a common tradition; but Ihe
wound of war remain. They are not
healed In a day. In a year, nor in four
years. 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.
The lioverutiient without stint Is un
dertaking to furnish these disabled
men with the compensation and med
ical care to which they are entitled,
yet their especial rare I a duty of the
Red Cross. 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. The Covernment
has neither the authority, the fund
or the equipment for working out the
problem of the individual man. There
Is where the American Hed Cros
flnds Its greatest field for service, aid
ing through Its very active Chapter
in reaching the disabled man with Im
mediate practical help, assisting hi
family while his claim Is emerging from
the process of adjustment, furnishing
article of comfort, funds to tide over
the difficult periods, the friendly touch
of personal encouragement, helpful
recreation and worry-dispelling amuse
ment. It Is. the warm hand of sym
pathy and understanding which the
American Hed Cros extend to the
majority of these disabled ex-service
men. some of them friendless in the
whirl of life, thousands of them with
wives and children dependent upon
them, and hundreds of them frequent
ly helpless In the face of grim ne
cessity. 2,679 Chapters Aiding Veteran.
