FOR VETERANS
Red Cross Provides Friendly
Service of Many Kinds to
Army of Disabled.

One field of Red Cross service alone,
tfcat of assisting disabled veterans of
&& World War, entails expenditures
fftOOO.OOO greater than the aggregate
Hcelpts of the Annual Roll Call of
1620, the American Red Cross announces
In a statement urging a wide
foread increase In membership at the
4r,nual Roll Call, November 11 to 24.
At the present time National HeadQuarters
and the natlon-wtde chain of
Chapters of the Red Cross Is spend- ,
" leg approximately $10,000,000 annual- ;
ly for the relief of disabled ex-service
men and their families, while the ag
fregate receipts from last year's Roll
Oali were approximately $6,000,000.
It is Id the 2,288 of the 3,000 Red
Cross Chapters which still are helplDg
solve the veteran's problem of adjusting
himself to a normal civilian status
that the greater part of the cost of this
service Is borne. Of the total sum
spent for veterans' relief last year,
National Headquarters expended a total
of more than $2,600,000, while the
remaining disbursement of approximately
$7,000,000 represents the contribution
of Chapters In this countrywide
e.fnrt to assist the Government
In providing the aid sorely needed by
these men and their families.
An tver txpanamg rrooiem
That the problem of the disabled
rvlce man is ever-expanding and
probably will not reach the peak before
1925, la the assertion of well-lnt
formed Government officials and that
* 2,897 Red Cross Chapters regard It
as their most Important work la evidence
that the expansion la In nowise
confined to a particular section but Is,
on the contrary, nation-wide. At the
end of the fiscal year, June 80, 1921,
there were 26,800 disabled service men
In the 1,692 United States Public
Health Service, Contract and Government
Hospitals and Soldiers Homes,
and that number Is lncreasirg at a
rate of 1,000 a month.
Thousands of these men receiving
medical treatment, compensation and
vocational training from the Government
today, started their efforts to
obtain them through the Red Cross
ChaDter. The Chanter, acting as the
disabled man's agent In claims against I
the Government, informs the man as to
the procedure necessary to gain for
him that which is provided him by
Federal statute. His applications for
compensation, medical treatment and
training are properly filed with the aid
of the Red Cross Chapter.
Many Forms of Assistance
If there le delay before the man'e
claim Is acted upon, the Red Cross
Chapter lends the man money to meet
the Imperative needs of himself and
his dependents.
Most vital to the man's gaining full
benefit from the Government's care is
keeping his mind free from worry about
his home. Keeping the veteran's family
from hardship of every kind and
Informing him of Its welfare Is an
other province of the Chapter. Free
from fear on this score, the man's recovery
and advancement usually Is
rapid.
very month during the last year,
the American Red Cross has given
of one kind or another to an
* average of 129,215 former service nti
and their families. An indication of
the extent of the faith reposed In the
Red Cross Chapter Is to be found In
the fact that there were 356,544 requests
for friendly aid Id the solution
ef personal problems.
448 Workers In Hospitals
While the man prior to entering
K Government care deals largely with the
Eg; Chapter, afterward he comes into conke
act with the service provided by NaBSlfc;onal
Headquarters. There are 448
Inflf .ed Cross workers In the United
states Public Health Service and contract
hospitals and other Institutions
w in which these men are being cared
for, whose duty Is to provide for his
recreation, help him with bis compensation
claims, keep him In touch with
his family; in short, meeting his every
need outside ef that provided by the
Government. While these are a few
of the responsibilities of the National
Organisation, they are by no means
alL Among other Red CroM accomplishments
for the year are:
It handled 70,732 allotment and allowance
claims.
It delivered through Its Chapter or*
ganlaatlen 63,635 allotment checks to
veterans who had moved from the addresses
furnished to the Bureau of
^ War Risk Insurance.
' It provided a special fund of $10,000
for medical assistance to men under 1

It 32,495 loans totaling $450,000
