DISABLED VETERANS
TO BE REHABILTTATED
Vocational Education at u. S.
Expense Is Offered.

Despite the fact that explanatory
pamphlets have been distributed on
homebound transports and in debarka-
ton hospitals. the Red Cross fears that
many soldiers. MANNED in the war, are
returning home unaware that tho Gov
eminent has MADE every provision for
their complete rehabilitation.
BY measure passed unanimously by
Congress last June 100000 was ap-
propriated for the work, and a Federal
board of vocational education was Gre
ated TO see that every disabled soldier,
sailor and marine gets his old Job back
or another good one and for those too
badly hurt to take up their former occu-
pations vocational training will be pro-
vided at the Governments expense.
All expenses, including books, tuition,
equipment and partial support of the
mans dependents will be paid by Uncle
Sam. Compensation allowed during the
training equals the monthly sum to which
the man Is entitled under the war risk
insurance act, or his pay during his last
month of service II that be greater. No
single man will receive less than $50 a
month and those with dependents will
get at least SIS. besides what Is paid
his family.
Thirteen thousand disabled men have
registered with the Federal board as
applicants for training and 500 have
begun. But at least 10000 men are en-
titled to the courses, and II is hoped
that none will fail through ignora nee
to take advantage OF the opportunity

increase be made retroactive to jan
uary !. Shop employees participating
In this wage demand include machinists.
blacksmiths, boilermakers, sheet metal
workers. electrical workers and carmen.
The principal wage question now
pending before the Railroad Admlnfstra :
ton is the a pplicstion of the four leading

ment OF wage scales to restore diferen-
tials existing before the general wage
advance and for time and half Tor
overtime. Tho readjustments have prsc-
tically been determined upon. resulting
In some decreases and some advances
in wages, with the general trend upward.

once in very sober aspect. He and
his companions are reclining up on the
remains of a wrecked house and their
gaze rests upon nothing but ruins.
"S'pose we'll ave to stop behind and
tidy all this up when the wars over"

The true Old Bill note is struck again

warfare which now seems so remote.

him in shell hole while a somewhat
