"WOUNDS OF WAR| 25,000 Disabled Ex-Service Men in Hospitals After Four Years of Peace. CHAPTERS’ FIELD OF SERVICE Every Veteran Needing Help Gets Individual Attention of Sym- pathetic Workers. When on November 11 the ‘world halts to observe the fourth anniver- sary of ArmisticeDay, and the Amerl- can Red Cross inaugurates its' Annual Roll Call for the enrollment of the 1923 membership, the people of the United States may well pause to think of the unparalleled contribution to the cause of peace made by our Army and Navy in the World War. The glory of it is a common tradition; but the wounds of war remain. They are not healed in a day, in a year, nor in four years. And on Armistice Day there will be under treatment in Government hospitals over 25,000 -ex-service men, broen physically by ‘wounds, expo- sure, nervous. strain and exhaustion incident to their service in the war. The Government without stint is un- dertaking to furnish these disabled men with the compensation and med- fcal care to which they are entitled, yet their especial cfe is a duty of the Red Cross. Why? Because the Gov- ernment cannot handle' the cases of ex-service men individually; it must handle these men in bulk under a standardized policy. The Government has neither the authority, the funds or the equipment for working out the problem of the individual man, There is’ where the American Red. Cross finds its greatest field ‘for service, ald- ing through jts very actlvg Chapters in reaching the disabled man with im- mediate practical help, assisting his family while his claim is emerging from the process of adjustment, furnishing articles 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 Red Cross extends 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- 1y helpless in the face of grim ne- cessity. 2,679 Chapters Aiding Veterans In thiswork, tipon “whose ‘accom- plishment the American Red Cross Is urging a record-breaking enrollment in the Roll Call which opens on Armis- tice Day and closes with Thanksgiv- ing Day, 2,679 Chapters in all parts of the country ‘are engaged. This is 350 more than were working for ex-service men last year when approximately $10,000,000 was expended by the Na- tional Organization and the Chapters working together in harmonious unity. For the current fiscal year National Headquarters appropriated -$3,030,- 692.90, an increase of $365,560.84 over the amount spent for the work among ex-service men in the year ended June 30 1ast. Since it Is estimated that the Chapters will expend-close to $7,000,- 000 from their own funds, the grand total of Red Cross expenditures for this single work is expected again to reach the $10,000,000 mark by June 30, Hospital and District Office Work During the fiscal year a total of over 1,000 persons, paid and volunteer, has been engaged in Red Cross duty in hospitals or district offices of the U. S. Véterans' Bureau. An average of 8,000 new cases requires definite and par- ticular attention each month. The de- mind for Chapter-made articles for hospital patients is constant. During last year Service Claims and Information Service at National Head- quarters handled 37,200 compensation and insurance claims, 24,560 allotment and allowance cases, and 9,700 miscel- laneous claims. Since Februarr, 1919, it has disposed of 64,174 allotment checks payable to vetera which the Post Office Department reported unde- liverable. The Chapter is the unit of the Red Cross organization which is ‘accessible to every disabled veteran or his fam- ily. Between July 1, 1921, and June 30, 1922, the Chapters had reported 1,605, 079 instances of service to ex-seryice men and their dependents, at a cost estimated from reports now at hand.of more than $5,340,000. The basis of this far-reaching work of the Red Cross Is the individual needs of ‘the disabled veteran to the end that he msy obtain-his- rights un- der thie law,that his especial -wants may be immediately supplied, that his own and his family's“sitaatlon“may be rendered happy and cheerful, and that their ‘outlook for the future may visualize incentives for independent and fruitful effort: Spread Christmas Joy Abroad More than 100,000 Christmas boxes for the children of Central Europe were packed by the Junior Red Cross last year. The spread of Christinas Joy through these boxes will belargély increased thig year because of the pluns already under way. } Your Peace-Time “Bit” Not “all you can,” but your “bit,” $1, makes for strength of the Amerl- can Red Cross in peace-time servica.

Brooklyn bridge at midnight is as fascinating as the ten-twenty and thir- ty melodramas used to picture it. There is the roer of a hundred city, noises—the clang of the elevated, the cry of the train guards, the shrill- volced newsfes and what not, O. O. Melntyre writes in the Cincinnati Com- mercial-Tribune. Home-rushing Flatbushers, return- ing Coney Islanders, midnight workers enjoying the lunch hour, derelicts of the night who are drawn by the busy, hum of life—all give romantic shades to this picturesque spot hard by the inky black and brooding East river. _From the bridge one may see dimly, outlined Blackwell’s island, with sen- tinels patrolling along the walls. § Down under the. bridge many saw- dust-carpeted eating places still sur- vive. They are frequepted by hardy customers—men, with hair on their chest, who have been around the Horn on ‘'windjammers; newspaper: huskies, who hold their corners by. the might of fists, and quite a sprinkling of petty criminals, snarkers and snitches. Mother Marge, a -wrinkled'old crone, still ladles-out her bean soup from ‘a dirt-incrusted tureen. ‘She cackles like the hag of ‘the old Broadway melo- drama that is gone. Her smile even strikes terror, “revealing as it does blacks rows of teetli and cunning cu- -pldity..’When-not 1adling soup she i3} using “snuff and reading paper-back novels: 4 Pegleg Timmins has: his‘oyster bar near by. -He lost ‘hig right leg-trying to emulate Steve Brodie in a:leap off. | the bride. ‘He striick a girder gojng | down and doesn’t remember what Liap- pened after that.
