misofortunes thai opened for these
men the opportunity TO secure the edu-
cation their talents merited.
The Red Cross sends out strong
warning against mistaken kindness to-
ward the MANNED men who are even
now returning. If, ii says, the public
insists on making lions of these men,
it will end by making them babies. II
employers hunt through their plants
for snaps" for them, and give them
jobs that mean little more than hold
ing down stools and reminiscing about
their daring deeds, then indeed we
shall complete the work of destruction
for them, manning minds as well as
bodies.
We. the American people, are going
to be asked-I0 spend more time, more
money and energy keeping these men
in the game than it 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 it,
| And we must see that they have their
| chances nj suitable employments.
! But these men are going 10 have
something more than just marvellous
appliances that will enable them TO do
almost any kind of work. These mems
/ tremendous sacrifices won't he paid
back by letting them in on life's work,
but not it's social game. SO they are
going 10 have Sunday arms and legs
as well as the work-aday wonders \

perfectly nodded fingers light his own

They are already rebuilding the
broken homes of France. And they
are already rebuilding the broken men.
Over here we, too, are getting ready
10 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 50
crippled as to need mechanical appli-

Gladly educated to use these So that
the action of the missing limbs will
be reduplicated as closely as possible.

The Red Cross is running a five

who has just returned from O two

the Y. NJ. C. A.. representatives from
every state in the union and, with
their cooperation. will organize a
campaign which has as its object the
recruiting of four thousand volunteer
war workers, Of whom one-hfth must
be women. The exigencies of the
present situation require the sending
abroad of n thousand volunteers
each month for . u months.
ALI recruits must be above draft
age. must be able to produce evidence
of their thorough loyalty, n must
possess the qualification Of resource
fulness in a high degree. AS a con-
siderable section of the territory
where they will be required to work
is exposed to shell fire. persons who
have no stomach for the hazards OF
war are not required.
Recruits who are familiar with one
or more foreign tongues will be pre-
ferred. as also will those who are able
to maintain themselves at their own
expense. Those without private re-
sources will be paid salaries just large
enough to meet their necessary ex-
penses.
