HEALING WOUNDS OF WAR
BIGGEST JOB OF RED CROSS
Broken Homes and Men Must Be Rebuilt RE- education
of Disabled Soldiers for Future Usefulness

They are already rebuilding the
broken homes of France. And they
are already rebuilding the broken men
Over here we, too, are getting ready
to devote to the same task the best OF
American skill and genius.
For each million Of our men who
enter action ten thousand will be so
crippled as to need mechanical appli-
ances, and they will have to be spe-
the action of the missing limbs will
be reduplicated as closely as possible.
If the Germans had had the entree
to certain parts Of France last fall
they might have seen fields that they
once destroyed yielding their best.crop
In years. And they might have seen
some of these fields being reaped by
men they thought they had done for.
They were men with varying de-
grees of leglessness and armlessness
Some ran (and repaired) tractor en-
gines. Some, with both arms gone
above the elbows, spaded the ground
with the aid of clever mechanism
to which the spade was hooked. One
man, who also had but the stump Of
each arm left, not only used scyths
but kept it sharp.
The Red Cross Is running five
hundred acre farm in France on which
the manned are taught the use Of farm
implements and the care Of domestic
animals, and Is already laying It's
plans for great work for the manned
In this country. The end and ain Of
all it's work will be to fit men to re-
turn to their own homes and re-enter,
as nearly as possible, their former
place in life.
Sometimes these re-educated men
take a far higher place In the COM
munity than they occupied before. For
instance, men who have been automo-
bile mechanicians, and whose legs
we're mutilated, have been re-educated
In mechanical drafting. Bridge work ]
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1918-12-14

men have made similar advances. A
| Canadian mechanic who was manned
and afterward re-educated became q
foreman at more than double his for
mer pay. 1t was only their seeming
misofortunes that opened for these
men the opportunity to secure the edu-
cation their talents merited.
The Red Cross sends out a strong
warning against mistaken kindness to-
ward the manned men who are even
now returning. IT, it says, the public
insists on making lions of these men,
it will end by making them babies. If
employers hunt through their plants
for ''snaps" for them, and give them
Jobs that mean little more than hold
ing down stools and remniscing about
their daring Deeds then indeed we
shall complete the work Of destruction
for them, manning minds as we'll as
bodies.
We, the American people, are going
to be asked to spend more time, more
money and energy keeping these men
in the game than 1t would cost to
merely support and amuse them and
let it go at that. We must make them
special harnesses, actually and meta
phorically, and then have patience
while they are getting adjusted to 1t.
And we must see that they have their
chances at suitable employments
But these men are going to have
something more than just marvellous
appliances that will enable them to do
almost any kind Of work. These mems
sacrifices won't be paid
back by letting them In on life's work,
but not its social game. So they are
going to have Sunday arms and legs
as we'll as the work-a-day wonders! A
man with both hands gone may, with
perfectly nodded fingers, light his own
cigarette or play cards. And man
with his face so ravaged that his best
friend could not restrain shudder
may wear, over the disigured part,
mask that is perfect and delicate, a
work Of art and science.

RED CROSS DUES
MAY Be SENT BY MAIL
ARRANGEMENTS MADE TO HELP
THOSE WHO CANNOT VISIT
BOOTHS IN PERSON

Owing to inclement weather and
household duties to perform, many
people in Moscow may not find it con-
venient to visit Red Cross booth in
person on Monday. An arrangement
has been perfected whereby all those
who wish may send their membership
dues by mail. A check to the amount
of memberships desired Cat one dol
lar each) should be made payable to
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
The envelope should be addressed in
the same way and should be sent
in care of H. H. Simpson, chairman.
The suggestion is made that this ev-
ening. as soon as this article is read,
each person shall take out his check
book and make out the membership
due check as indicated. If put into
the post office on Sunday or on Mon
day morning, the donor will be cred
tied with membership Immediately on
the first day of the drive Such a
plan will greatly facilitate the work
of enrolling all of Moscow's citizens.
When check is received by Chair
man Simpson, he will Immediately
place upon the official roll call list
the name of each person for whom
Cl0 CHECK IS IuCcuOCu W pay luOulOCI-
ship dues. He will also set aside the
proper number of Christmas seals,
Red Cross buttons, window cards, and
extra crosses for the cards. All of
these may be called for at any time
convenient to the owner. They will
be kept at the council of defense
rooms on Second street and will be
plainly marked with the name of the
person entitled to them.
This scheme of sending check in
stead of calling in person was very
widely adopted last spring during the
Red Cross drive and was very gen
orally employed during the Salvation
Army drive. It seemed to give great
satisfaction to the public. 1t is rec
commended for every householder at
the present time. Be sure to make
the check payable to the Red Cross
Christmas Roll Call and be sure to
mail the check before Monday morn
ing.

P. T. physical
Training) At
Camp Hancock
By Sgt. Geo. A. BRAKEMAN


The reason for this article is to set
at ease a number of minds who have
all sorts of criticisms to make on p. T
as it Is given in Camp Hancock. In
the first place a good many soldiers
are under the impression that it is
English =. T. TO thos ewho are I'M
der that impression l want to say that
that is not so.
1t is simply used by the English
army; but it originated with Swedes.
They have been using it for the past
hundred years and it is that length of
time that have brought these exer-
cises up to a very high pitch; but not
after very careful study. It's inten-
lions are not to build big muscles on
the body but to make a man think fast
and to be able to move around fast
and at the same time bring into play
every muscle in the body There is
no doubt at all about the foregoing
sentence being So if the seven tables
into which T. 4. is divided is taught
and executed properly; and it sure was
to recruits in Camp Hancock.
A feature of the exercises are the
quickening ones which need no expla-
nation as to their benefit to machine
gunners, to the men who have been
put through it, These have Won
hEIIul dBiiliy 10 lIdlH N1t IllAu 10 ACT
quickly. Each other individual exer-
else has its own reason Tor being there
and it is so placed on the tables that
it does the recruit the most good; re-
membering of course that this was
done after careful study and practical
experiments.
Starting with the first table the ex-
ercises are very simple and they grad
ually become more and more difficult
until they reach the seventh table
where we find set of exercises which
benefit every muscle in the body. One
must remember that man can or
cannot make an exercise out of any
movement in any of the tables; it is
solely up TO the recruit himself.
Before I close / want TO call your
attnetion to one very simple movement
which you find lot of questions about
as to their benefit to a recruit, and
that is the one called head back
ward" bend" which is executed as
follows: The head is moved backward
the chin is drawn well in and the
hands pulled well down on the sides
and the rest of the body maintaining
the position of attention If the fore
going movement is executed properly
and it is given to q recruit very often
it becomes second nature for him after

head up and maintain a soldierly APP
pearance That is only one example,
that | give, and can say likewise about
the other movements having their own
reasons for being there.
Another thing is this, that it is only
used by Machine Gunners and is
taught to nobody else, then. again, it
must be good if it was adopted by the
United States army for Camp Han
cock and the L. S, army does nothing
but that is absolutely the best in the

the End Group and Eric Koch of the
LIST group is sure to be a hummer. Will
liams is the leading welterweight con-
tender of Camp Hancock and if he can
dispose of Kocl in decisive manner,
he win have earned the title of We'll
terweight Champion without any
doubt. Jack kas defeated everything
that has come his way ever since com
peting in the boxing bouts at camp.
His victories over Buddy Ryan, Eddie
Bartlett, Dick Howell, Bobby Green
ard several others too numerous to
mention have stamped him as one Of
the best welters starring in this part
of the country Nevertheless, Koch

Another bout that win e very at
tractive is the one that Will bring into
action Willie Erdey of the 33r5 Com
pany and Sanford White of the End
Group. Erdy sprang the surprise of
the season when he defeated Danny
Murphy. who has been claiming the
bantamweieht title for the past four
months In this bout Willie thrilled
the largest rowd present with his
shifty tactics and splendid cleverness,
which he combined with snappy
punches, While boxing around New
York, Erdey efeated some of the best
bantams in the north, included among
whom We're Jack Sharkey. Freddie
Reese, Willie Astey, Pal Moore, Dutch
Brandt, Battlin Lain and Benny Nc
Coy. However, Erdey viii have to
step very fast tomorrow night, as his
opponent, White, is the former anna
teur bantamweight champion of New
York state and is thoroughly familiar
with the art of fisticuffs. Both men
are eagerly awaiting the gong that
