When on November 11 the world halts to observe ttm fourth anniver sary of Armistice Day, and the Ameri can Ited Crosa luininur-ates 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 ef pcace innde by our Army and Navy In the World War. The flory of It la a common tradition; but the wounds of war remain. They are hot healed In a day, In a year, nor in four years. And on Armistice Day there will bo under treatment In Government hospitals over 25,000 ex-service men, brokeif 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 ical care to which they are entitled, yet their especial care Is a duty of the Red Cross. Why? Hecause the Gov ernment cannot handle the cases of ex-service men Individually; It must handle these men In bulk under a standardized poller. 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, aid ing through its very active 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 aud worry-dispelling ahnise rnent. 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 thrt 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* cesslty. 2,079 Chapters Aiding Veterans In this work, upon whose ac.com* pllshment the American Red Cross It urging a record-breaking enrollment in the Roll Call which opens on Armis tice Day and closes with Thanksgiv ing Day, 2.079 CThapters in all parts of the country are engaged. This is 35C 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,* (>02.00, an increase of fj3G5.ftOO.8-l over the amount spent for the work among ex-service men In the year ended June HO last. Since It Is estimated that the Chapters will expend close to $1,000, 0<H) from their own funds, the frrand total of Red Cross expenditure!) for this single work is expected again tc reach the $10,^00,000 mark by June 30 1923. Hospital and District Office Work During the flsrnl 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. Veterans' Rureau. An average of 8,000 new cases requires definite and par ticular attention each month. The de mand for Chapter-made articles for hospital patients is constant. During last year Service (Malms and Information Service at National Head quarters handled 37,200 compensation and Insurance claims, 24,560 allotment nnd allowance cases, and fl.700 miscel laneous claims. Since February. 1919, it has disposed of 64,171 allotment checks payable to veterans which tha lost Office Department reported unde II verable.
