within the war zone as the resources of the Benevolent and Protective Or der of Elks could command.
 Elks Help Salvation Army
 The signing of the armistice and the ending of active hostilities found the Elks War Relief Commission with a considerable sum of money on hand. This money had been raised exclu- sively among the membership of the Order, a total of $2,000, ,000 in assess ments having been authorized, al- though it was not all called. Investi- gation was at once begun, however, for the purpose of determining suit able use to make of the balance on hand, all of which had been given for war relief work.
 On January 1 last Chairman Tener, Secretary Tanning and Grand Exalted Ruler Campbell, on behalf of the Elks War Relief Commission, called on Evangeline C. Booth, commander of the Salvation Army in the United States, and presented her with certi- fled check for $60,00O as fitting rec ognition and in appreciation of "the great WOrk your OTSdHlZdtlOH HdS per- formed and is performing in the name of God and humanity"
 In accepting the gift Miss Booth said:
 '"This is not the first time the Ben evolent and Protective Order of Elks has shown practical sympathy for and given substantial aid to the Salvation Army. But this gift, of such gener- ous proportions, coming to us unsolici- ted at a moment when unprecedented opportunities exist for helping man. kind, impresses us beyond words to express, and as the leader of the Sal vation Army in the United States can but say with emphasis that we are profoundly grateful and by all means appreciative of the very wonderful thing you have done"
 Vocational Training
 The attention of the Elks War Re- lief Commission was next directed to an opportunity to aid disabled sol diers, sailors and marines by cooper

permits the resources of each subor- ordinate Lodge to be centralized. The result is that practically every city in the country of over 5000 inhabitants has an Elks home or club.
 During the war hundreds of these homes were given over either wholly or in part for war work avtivities car ried on in the community by such or ganizations as the Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army, the Jewish Well fare and others that had reason to appreciate the patriotic spirit of Elk dom as thus exemplified. r.
 Elks War Relief Commission
 Early in the war the Elks became especially impressed with the unself- ish spirit in which the Salvation Army was carrying on its work and particu- larly with the fine standing it had with the boys at the front. The re- suit was that hundreds of Elks lodges placed all their resources behind the Salvation Army drives for funds, and the slogan, "Elks Raise Dollars for ,Doughnuts" became countrywide.
 At the Elks Grand Lodge session in Boston in July, 1917, provision was made for the appointment of special committee to be known as the Elks' War Relief Commission, which, to-
The Coconino sun., 1919-07-11

accepted by Dr. Prosser. The Elks Fund has since increased to S25O ,0O0, and the proceeds from a feature mo- tion picture produced by the Commis- sion and donated to the Federal Board which is soon to be distributed for exhibition, is expected to add another $100, ,000.
 Federal Board Thanks Elks
 In referring to the assistance grant ed the Federal Board for Vocational Education by the Elks War Relief Commission, Dr. Prosser, director of the board, has said:
 "No one action taken by any public or private agency will do so much to bring about prompt and effective care of disabled soldiers, sailors and marines resulting from the war as the action taken by the Elks War Relief Commission. As the result, instead of waiting for weeks and months, under privation and humiliation such as no soldier of the republic should under go, because of official delays, many of which are unavoidable, they will now find themselves properly taken care of at once and placed in the line of re- education which will enable them to make their future safe for themselves and their dependents"
 Soldiers Friends Committees
 By direction of Grand Exalted Ruler Campbell, every subordinate Lodge of Elks has appointed a Sol- diers' Friend Committee which is now charged with the duty of assisting in this vocational training work. At the present time there are about 2,OOO disabled soldiers, sailors and marines in vocational training on the Elks War Relief Commission Fund. The work has proven so successful that a bill now before Congress extending vocational training into civil and in- dustrial life seems assured of passage.
 Speaking on the floor of Congress on the subject of the cooperative ar engagements between the Federal Board for Vocational Education and the Benevolent and Protective Order

ating as a private agency with the Federal Board for Vocational Educa- tion, in the vocational training and re-education of the wounded war heroes.
 This work was entirely a new ven- ture. Nothing of the kind had ever before been undertaken following any war. Heretofore disabled soldiers had been granted pittance of pension on which they could barely live, and in their old age were put in a soldiers home to ponder over the ingratitude of the country for which they had fought.
 Quite by accident it was discovered by a Belgian gentleman who was car ing for some wounded soldiers that the men became interested in work ing with some tools he had in his house, and that this work stimulated their interest in life and hastened their recovery, in addition to maki1g them adopts in the use of various tools according to their fancy or in conformity with their particular phys ical defects.
 This was the start of vocational training for disabled war veterans. It has been carried on in France, Eng land, Canada and Italy--as we'll as in Germany--for nearly four years. 1t

the war overloaded the Insurance Bu- reau with claims for compensation so that it fell weeks and months behind in its work. This resulted in the anomaly of disabled men being 'broke" and being unable to take ad- vantage of the free vocational offer of the government, while at the same time that government was owing them money!
 Fortunately, the law provided that the Federal Board of Vocational Edu- cation could accept the cooperation and assistance of private agencies in carrying out its provisions. The Elks War Relief Commission had it's atten- tion called to this avenue for the use full expenditure of money, and very brief investigation convinced the members of the commission that there was probably no more worthy cause to which it's founds could be donated. A fund of $15O,000 was therefore ten dered by the Commission to Dr. C. A. Prosser, Director of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, to be used at his discretion for necessary publicity work among the disabled men and with the general public, and for caring for the cases of disabled men who were without the purview of the law. The offer was promptly

man, Ohio, where over 10000 boys were in training. There were not suf- ficient housing accommodations at Chillicothe, Ohio, near which the camp was located, to care for the parents of the boys who were i'll in camp and it was therefore impossible for many of these parents to visit their sons. When this condition was disclosed to the Elks War Relief Commission an Elks community house was built at Chillicothe in record time at cost of about $40,000. This house made it possible for hundreds of the sick boys to be visited and looked after by their mothers, and the army officials in charge of the camp regarded it as one of the best things done at any of the training camps during the time of the epidemic. It was declared that the fraternal spirit among the Elks had as much to do with speeding up the laborers and contractors who were building this community house, as the money that was paid them for the work.
 At the time of the signing of the armistice Governor Tener, chairman of the Elks War Relief Commission, was under instructions to proceed to France for the purpose of rendering to General Pershing such assistance

is asserted by those who have been identified with it, that no wounded man has yet been found and put in training, no matter what his physical disability, but who has been vocation ally trained or re-educated so that he has as great or greater earning capa- city than before he was disabled. This pointed the way to making every dis abled man independent, self-support- ing and consequently more self-re- specting than if he were left to shift for himself on a small pension. By unanimous vote in both houses of Congress bill was passed and was signed by the president on June 27, 1918, putting this vocational train ing in the hands of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. This law was intended to provide free vocation al training for disabled war veterans and also to find employment for them at the end of their period of training or re-education, without in any way affecting the compensation paid them by the government for whatever de- gree of disability they had suffered by reason of their wounds.
 Flagstaff Lodge No. 499 has ap- pointed a Soldiers Friend Committee to look after the interests of return ing soldiers, and all are urged to call upon any of the following if seeking aid of any kind: Alex A. Johnston, chairman, Dr. E. s. Miller, and John G. Phillips.
 Elks Assist the Government
 In the administration of the law, however, it was found that there would be thousands of worthy cases of disabled men who were entirely outside the purview of the law passed by Congress. These included Ameri- can boys wounded while in the service of the allies, those wounded before the provisions of the law took effect, a-d those wounded or disabled while in the army but not while in line of duty. The law also provided that no one could be placed in vocational training until his compensation had been fixed by the Bureau of War-Risk Insurance. The sudden termination of
The Coconino sun., 1919-07-11

gether with the grand exalted ruler, would have charge of the expediture of whatever moneys were raised by the Elks for war work or war relief purposes. This commission was made up of ex-Governor John K. Tener of Pennsylvania, Joseph T. Tanning of Indianapolis, Jerome B. Fisher of Jamestown, N. Y., James K. Nicholson of Boston, Edward Rightor of New Orleans, Fred Harper of Virginia, all past grand exalted rulers, and Grand Exalted Ruler Bruce A. Campbell, of East St. Louis, III.
 This commission at once rendered it's services and resources to the United States government through the war department. At that time the University of Virginia and the Univ ersity of Oregon were organizing base hospitals for service in France, but no provision had been made for outfit ting and equipping them. This was undertaken by the Elks War Relief Commission, each hospital being fully equipped at a cost of $60,000. They were operated during the remainder of the period of the war under the joint name of the Elks and the univer- sities designated, and made wonderful records for efficiency.
 Reclamation Hospital at Boston Later there was seen the need of a reclamation hospital in this country to rebuild the disabled heroes who were returning from the battle fronts. The Elks War Relief Commission took the matter in hand and built what is said to be the finest hospital of the kind in this country, on Parker Hill in Boston. It was turned over to the government to be operated, having, cost the Commission considerably more than $30O,000 to construct. Its record has been of the best. The gov ernment medical staff has given it the highest praise, and it has been operated at full capacity ever since the day it was opened.
