EVENING WORLD ASKS $10,000 FUND TO MAKE XMAS MERRY FOR 1,500 WOUNDED SOLDIERS (ses e Boys Think They Have Been Forgotten, and Gifts Will Show Them New York City Appreciates Sacrifices. é By Lilian Bell. There.are 1,500 wounded soldiers in New York hospitals. There are 1,300 at the Walter Reed Hospital In Washington. are 4,000 at military hogpitals at San Francisco and Denver, and there are in public There service and throughout the country 22,000 patients turned over to them by the War Department, other hospitals Some of these boys have been in hospitals for four years. It will be four years and possibly longer before some of them will be able to leave. Some will never leave except to go to thelr long home. ~ What sort of a Christmas York planning for the 1,500 homeless, homesick wounded? How would you feel if you had enlisted and left your business and seas and fought and been wounded and then come home to be forgotten by the very ones for whom you went through that hell? BOYS THINK PUBLIC HAS FORGOTTEN THEM. It was a wonderful sight when the well ones marched down Fifth Avenue and you stood for hours and cheered them home and wept when the motors with the wounded went crawling by. thrill at the sight of thelr grin- ning, brown, lean faces—sharpened by the dreadful experience of war your determination NEVER to forget them and never to cease to be grateful for what they have done for YOU? WELL, the boys think you HAVE To them it 1s all in the day’s work. But I go over to Fox Hilla and see the lonesomeness of it—in spite of all the Government !s doing for their health—the loneliness of the souls of those boys is what gets by the throat. There IS one boy with a broken back Another boy who looks as if he weighed 180 is he broke his leg turning over In bed. If 1 should go on and describe the wounds of these boys—AS THEY STILL ARE—after all these years, you could neither eat nor sleep until you had done something to make them know that we still hold them in reverence and gratitude. What shall we do? Can we not raise a fund of $10,000, to give each wounded soldier, sailor and marine a worth-while Christmas? Surely that {s little enough—considering! { there are 1,000 men and women In this rich, beautiful city who will give $10 each, I personally pledge myseif, and The Evening World pledges itself, to find what these 1,500 wounded want most, and I and my friends will buy it for them and see that they get {t on Christmas. COULD RAISE MONEY WITH HOTELS’ HELP. Won't the hotels help? If all the hotels would post this appeal on their bulletin boards, or wherever it will be seen, we the money in an hour. We want to give the 10 per cent, of these boys who are able to leave the hospitals on crutches a matinee before Christmas, On Christmas we want to send small Christmas trees through the wards on carts bearing their presents. The Government gives them a glor!- ous dinner—all the turkey with trimmin’s that they can eat don't need food as FOOD. But something homemade and fancy CANDY? I should say so! all you can get. But most of all, ten dollars, nor refuse ONE. Of course, Red Cross {s still on the Job, but it 1s the public whose soul needs saving by goifg in person and letting the boys know that we sti'l care, Oh, Men and Women! Think of these wonderful boys, so cheerful under thelr pain and ‘iscomfort and loneliness! Think of them at Christmas time, and for God’s sake, DON'T let them think we were not worth fighting for! We ought to feel, when we them, almost as {f the passing by, and uncover in their presence. They don’t believe we ARE g from Fox Hills to Carnegie Hall the night the Civic Forum gave its testimonial to Gen.
