War -Veterans Have First Call
First call on Red Cress funds Is far
the disabled ex-service men, of whom
27,487 were receiving treatment from
the Government on June 1 last. This
work for veterans and their families
In a wide variety of service that the
Government is not authorised to rsn
dar and for which tt has neither
funds nor facilities has the call on
*8,080,692.90 during the current year,
or about *888,000 more then was ex
- pended last year for soldier service.
Adding the funds disbursed In this
humanitarian work of physical recoo
stitntlon following the World War by
the Chapters throughout the country
will approximate a total for the cur
rent year approaching *10,000,000.
This work, in the opinion of the Sur
geon General's office, will not ranch
its peek before 1986.
Through Its Chapters the American
Red Cross is equipped to find the in
dividual ex-service man, help him In
his problems and difficulties, provide
Immediately for his necessities, and
open the way for him to the Govern
ment compensation and aid to which
be la entitled. The extension of this
work to the families of such men
proves to them that the Red Cross
has lost none of Its sympathy nor will
to service manifested In wartime. Sim
ilarly the service goes eat to the men
etlll In the Army and Navy, 11,067 of
whom , were under treatment In Gov
ernment hospitals on Jnne 1, 1922.
